ton of the new confederation is to
be the Kingdom of Canada. Thus
we have two kinds of progress" on

the United States towards radical
ultraism, and in provincial Canada
towards positive monarchism. The
new kingdom is to embrace Upper
and Lower Canada, Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick. Prince Edw ards

refused to join the confederation.

The Last Veto.

We have read attentively, and we
hope that all our readers have done
the same, the message of the Presi-
dent returning to Congress the mill
tary reconstruction bill, without his
approval. 1t is so concise in argu-
ment, and sets forth in such plain
language the weighty objections he
entertains 10 the measure, that any
extended comment is unnecessary.
He stands where he stood at the time
cf the first rupture between him and
Congress, and for the same reason
that tie measures which have elected
his vetoes are in violation Of the Con
stitUtion.
Time will show which department
Of the Government has acted more
wisely in their dealings with the
Southern States, and will further
prove how far the policy of Congress
will contribute to peace and restora-
tion. From al appearances, that po-
Icy will be put on its trial in those
States for which it is framed, is there
is 10 means Of preventing it, at least
IN time to preclude that trial.
Calm and deliberate action, or "a
ther the patient bearing OF inevitable
destiny, is now the only course left
to the people of the Southern States.
It may be that there is silver lining
behind the angry clouds which now
overshadow the land, although the
vision Of our finite reasoning cannot
yet perceive it; but one thing we may
rest assured of, that the destiny of
this, as of all other nations, is in the
hands of the Supreme Ruler, before
whom 'all nations are as nothing.
and they are counted to him less than
nothing, and vanity" Let us. then.
calmly abide the results in the future.
faithfully discharging our duties to
ourselves, our families, and to each
other.

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT. =
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times says:
''The public has lately been led to
believe, from the absence of all in
formation on the subject, that the
impeachment movement had been
brought to stand-still, and that we
were to hear no more of it; but there
is the very best reason for saving that
the country will be startled before
the close Of this week by 4 report
from the Judiciary Committee, indi-
eating the progress they have made,
and asserting the necessity of push
ing the Investigation in the next Con-
gress. This report, rs matter Of
course, viii not be final one. but
viii set forth the fact that the limited
time since the Investigation wa, or
dered has not been sufficient to ena-
ble them to complete their work, and
also that the developments thus far
demand its continuance Mr.. Bout
well, the country may rest assured,
Is terribly IN earnest III this work.
The committee has already taken a
very large amount OF testimony. and
has Geen in session both day ana
night. Witnesses from all parts Of
the country have been examined.
and more have been summoned. AS
to the continuance OF the investiga-
ton Ill the fortieth Congress, Nj.
boutwell, maintains that they need
not commence Qe aoco, bat that the
committees proceedings being Of
record. such record can be made Il
part OF the Investigation. Thus far.
the operations OF the committee have
been conducted with so much secrecy
as to lead laany to believe that no
thlnS was being done, but this will
prove to be u serious mistake. 1t
ili,ty, iut'uc,i, De question whether
the feeling in favor of impeachment
IS not actually decreasing, and per
haps Mr.. Boutwell, aild his associates
fear nothing so much as the effects oi
efforts to induce the President to
countenance the important lecisl;,-
ton OF Congress. Ali eyes are now
turned to his action on the military
reconstruction bill. TO pocket it will
be TO greatly aggravate the fmpeach-
ment feeling, TO veto it, 50 that
Congress eau pass il, will be not
much better. 10 sign the bill. even
under protest, will Kill the impeach-
ment movement. This is the ex-
pressed opinion ot two prominent
Senators to-day.

changed to an assassination plot but

was committed.

Thursday Morning, March Z, 1867.
Another Bureau.

Our exchanges inform us thata bill
has been passed in Congress author
izing the establishment, in Washing
ton, Of a Dep,.l ;1acent of Education.
The object Of this department, it is
stated to be, will be he collection of
all facts pertaining to the subject of
education throughout the country,
with 4 view to the diffusion of useful
Information concerning the establish
ment and maintenance of efficient
schools. The bill, it is alleged, does
not assume control Of, or III any way
interfere with the present school svs-
tens. OF their management, and need
not, therefore, be looked upon rs an
approach to the governmental direc-
ton of schools, commonly found in
Europe.
We cannot view it in any other
hight than rs another step III the cen
traizing systematic tendency to
bureauism in the administration of
public affairs III this country. This
newly established department may be
enabled to make many and practical
suggestions, and will have the advan-
tage of comprehending the entire
field of education in all the States
and Territories, and thus be prepared
to ascertain t;:i;ii defects AID point cut 70
nedics; but it will scarcely stop
there One of the functions of the
commissioner at the head Of the de-
partment will be to furnish to Con-
gress IN annual report, embodying
the result Of his labors, and present
ing statement OF the several grants
Of land made by Congress for educa-
tional purposes, and the manner in
which the funds arising therefrom
have been appropriated.
From this, it is evident that sys-
tenn of national education is to be
established, and that the grants of
public lands made to the several
States for educational purposes will
not be long left to the disposal Of the
States, and that, at least in the unre-
constructed States, {; large portion of
said funds. il, indeed, not all, will be
expended in teaching the young ne
groes, for whose education, under
the appropriations made to the ori-
ginal bureau ample provision has
been made This new measure is but
the eNpunging of another line Of the
demarcation which formerly de-
signated sovereign and independent
States. Better have left the subject
Of education to them.

NOT so BAD AS IT NIIGHT BE. The
New York ltorld expresses the OPT
Mon that the reconstruction bill
adopted by Congress might be much
worse:
This bill, bad as it is, is more ia
vorablo than any likely to be passed
il its stead If it is sent back with
a veto, the Republicans cannot choose
but try to repass it. If they succeed,
it binds them to this measure instead
OF worse one, which might follow
it, and prevents the absolute and final
exclusion of the South from the Pre-
sidential election, which would be the
certain consequence of letting the
whole subject drop.
