The Presidents Message.

On the first page we publish in full the able
message Of the President vetoing the supple
mentary reconstruction bill, for such docu.
ment, as the Alexandria Gazette says, deserves
to be read and preserved, as it is another noble
effort in defence of constitutional liberty. The
arguments are unanswerable and irresistible. -
And yet it was of no more avail with the dom
inant party in Congress than so much blank pa
per. The Veto, is practically, nullity. The
message was read, and although it proceed thai
the bill was unjust, unconstitutional, and op
pressive, the measure was instantly adopted
just as if no reasons had been given whatever
to cause even pause in Radical Legislation.
The last Veto is probably one of the best and
ablest Of the series of attempts made by the
President, in behalf of the constitution, the
rights of the States, and civil freedom of the
people. Though unsuccessful, he is to be hon
ored for his manly and independent course, in
reference to these subjects.

Register and Vote.

All who are not excluded by the restrictions
of the supplementary bill should register, SC
that they will be prepared to vote ornot as they
may choose. We think that all, who can dc
so. should vote, and that they should vote fol
such persons as delegates to the convention as
would faithfully represent them, and, at the
same time vote against calling the Conoe1't'o,'-
the only mode the people have of recording
their protest against the unconstitutional and
outrageous legislation Of the Radical Congress
enacted for the oppression, humiliation and deg
radiation of the Southern people.
IF a convention shall sacrifice the rights and
barter away the liberties of our people, let II
not be done with the consent, but against the
protest, of the people in this section ofthe State
We have but little, if any, doubt that the Con
vention will be called, but we hope that none
of the responsibility will rest upon the citizens
of this and the surrounding counties. We hope
that this good old country will not be num-
bered in that class of easy virtue which,
HVowing they would meier consent, consented"

Radicals on Sandy Foundation.

| 1t should be borne in mind that whilst the
Radicals have large majority of Representa-
| tives-the districts being Gerrymandered to ac-
complish that purpose-the popular majority is
| very small in many of the Northern States
The margin of popular majority being SMALL it
| would not require much change in popular SEN
timent to overthrow the Radical party. They
are conscious of this fact, and moreover OF the
fact that the changes which are now taking
place are from the Radical to the Conservative
party The Radicals feel that the supremacy
Of their party is based upon sandy and slip
perry foundation, and that it is in danger Of be-
ing overthrow at the next elections. Murmurs
of Impotence and mutterings Of dissatisfaction
already strike their ears, and they fear that they
forebode the approach of a storm of popular in
dignation. This accounts for the fact that the
present Congress, though it contains larger
majority of Radicals, is less violent than the
last Two years have elapsed since the termi-
nation of the war which was waged on the part
of the North professedly for the preservation Of
the Union and yet the Union is not restored.
The Radicals have prevented restoration, and
the people, who desire restoration, are becom-
ing impatient at the delay, and will soon resolve
to supply their places with those who will labor
to restore the Union, instead of legislating to
prevent it, as the Radicals have done. The
open violation of the fundamental principle of
republicanisn-tha Governments should rest
upon the consent O the gove1ned-by establishing
,nnto +bo Cto4
and of that other great principle, corollary of
the first, upon which our Government was orig
inally established-that there should be no tax
alton without representation-by taxing us
heavily whilst denying us representation, has
caused the more sober and rejecting people of
the North to pause and think, and the result
of that pause is, that the masses are becoming
aroused to sense of the danger of their own
liberties, and the Importance of change of
their representatives.
To relieve themselves Of the embarrassment
they are now suffering, the Radicals in Congress
have adopted the ingenious device of submit
ting to the vote of the Southern States the
question whether or not they will vote to call
Conventions to adopt Constitutions in accor-
dance with the provisions of the unconstitution-
al acts which they have adopted They threat
en- much worse terms if these be not adopted,
call upon Stevens to beat his Chinese gong, ia
belled "confscation, and suppose in that way to
frighten the people Of the South to vote fol
these conventions IF they do vote for them
then their consent is giUe7,, and the responsible
lty OF forcing government upon the people
against their consent is removed from the
shoulders of the Radicals. They have woven
the web and set the net-will the Southern peo-
pie walk into it.

How is It?

We would like to be informed how it is that
it was impossible for the Legislature to adopt
the proposed Constitutional amendment Jar
ticle XIV without doing violence to the honor
of Virginia, and that it would not be doing such
violence for the people of Virginia to vote tor
calling Convention under the provisions OF
the Stevens Sherman Shellabarger bill which
provides not only for the adoption by the LIE
gisature of that same amendment, but, In ad-
dition, requires the incorporation into our State
Constitution of the right suffrage to all male
citizens of the State twenty-one years old and
upwards, of a0hatever race, color or previous
condition, who have been resident in the State
one year previous to election, and excepting
such persons as may be disfranchised for par
ticipation in the rebellion. IF it would do vio-
lence to the honor of Virginia to adopt the Con-
stitutional amendment it follows, a Jortion,
that it would do so to comply with the provis-
ions of the Stevens Sherman-Sh ellabarger bill.
Those voting for the Convention, will vote
for it to do what is required in the S. S. S. b'i'
for if the Convention shall not comply W. n the
provisions Of that bill, there is no U.s.. in calling
it at all. That bill requires the adoution of a
Constitution which will de- ,rancbise MANY Of
our best and most valu" ole citizens whilst it will
grant suffrage 10 er.ery male negro twenty one
years OF age. when such Constitution shall
nave peer adopted by the Convention, and
When nat Constitution shall have been ratified
py the vote of the people-under the restricted
suffrage of the whites and unrestricted suffrage
Of the negroes-and when the Radical Congress
shall have approved it, and when the Legisla-
turc, elected under such Constitution, shall
have adopted the aforesaid Constitutional A
mendment, and when said amendment shall
have become part of the Constitution Of the
United States, then the State may be repre-
sented in Congress, if she viii elect such repre-
sentatives as will take the iron-clad oath-in
other words, send Radicals to Congress- This
is the feast to which we are invited, after COM
plying with the terms mentioned.
To reject with disdain, as the people of Vir-
ginia did, the Constitutional Amendment, and
then to vote for a Convention to carry into eff
feet the provisions Of the S. S. S. bill, would
be, it seems to US, ''to strain at a gnat and
swallow camel

NeaC Firm.
IMPORTANT NOTICE

A NEW FIRM.
James 4. Piper, d. W. Drake & George A. Piper
have this day formed a copartnership under the
name of PIPER, DRAKE & CO., for the pur-
pose Of carrying the DRY GOODS BUSI-
NESS in the store-room lately. occupied by Pi-
per & Funkhouser and special and pressing in
vitation is given to the friends of both the old
firms of Piper & Funkhouser and Drake & Piper,
and the public generally, to give the new firm as
much of their patronage as in days gone BY and
they promise in return to sell goods at as low pr
ces as they possibly can.
As we are about entering upon new business
we have adopted the motto of 'Short Profits and
Quick Sales" and intend to confne ourselves as
near as practicable to the Cash System, which
will enable us to sell goods much lower than I'M
der the old system of long credit.
We intend to give our undivided attention to
the business, and will spare pains in keeping
ourselves posted in all the nice points of trade
that persons, who may patronize us, may rest as
sured that no unreasonable profit shall be charged
for our goods.
We expect in a short time to have select stock
of all the newest and best styles of goods in mar
ket, and, if we mistake not, we will be enabled
to sell them at from 10 to 20 per cent lower than
they could have been sold had we purchased ear
lier. Remember this
