Congress recently passed a bill supple.
mentary to the so-called reconstruction I'LL,
which depriycs the Southern States of their
right to sclfgorernnlcrt, gives few mill
tary satraps unlimited power over'the peo-
pic Of those States, and uyrps FOR Congress
the powers of the judicial and the executive
as well as the legislative branches Of the
government. President johnson very prop
erIy vetoed the measure, and the Radical
Jacobins passed the bill over the veto by a
strictly party majority,

The people of the United States may
well begin to question whether the President
discharges his whole duty in merely vetoing
the revolutionary acts Of these despicable
and desperate traitors to free government.
| lie has taken a solemn oath, to discharge
the duties of his Office in accordance with
the provisions Of tie Constitution Of the
United States, aud in standing supnely by
and witnessing the usurpation Of the execu-
tive powers by Il coordinate branch of the
government, and the reduction of eleven
Independent states to condition of abiect
dependency under arbitrary rule, we repeat
that it is no wonder that the patriotic mass
es begin to question whether he is discharg-
ing his wao'5 duty
The message Of the President, however,
as far as ,sqr15 90, IS 10 the point, and emf
nenty .iust ami patriotic. They should be
read by every free man Of thcwhoie coun-
try, and wo will next week give il in full
