WASHINGTON June %, 1868.
The following message was sent to the House of
Representatives this afternoon:-
To THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
In returning to the House of Representatives, in
which it originated, bill entitled "An act to ad
init the States Of North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Louisiana, Georgia. Alabama and Florida
TO representation in Congress-" l do not deem
1t necessary to state at length the reasons which
constrain me to withhold my approval. l will not,
therefore, undertake at this time to reopen the dis
cussion upon the grave constitutional questions in
volved in the act OF March 2 1857 and the acts sup
Elementary thereto in pursuance Of which it is
claimed In the preamble Of this bill-these States
have framed and adopted constitutions OF State
government; nor will repeat the objections con-
tanned in my message Of the goth inst, returning
without my signature the bill to admit to repre-
sentation the State. Of Arkansas, and which are
equally applicable to the pending measure Like the
bill recently passed in reference to Arkansas this bill
supersedes the plain and simple mode prescribed py
the constitution for the admission to seats in the
spective Houses Of Senators and Representatives
from the several States. 1t assumes authority over
Six States Of the Union which has never been
delegated to Congress or is even warranted
by previous unconstitutional legislation upon the
subject Of restoration 1t imposes conditions which
are in derogaton Of the equal rights Of the States
and is founded upon theory which is subversive Of
the fundamental principles Of the government. In
the case Of Alabama it violates the pghted faith of
Congress, by forcing upon that State constitution
which was rejected by the people according to the
express terms Of an act Of Congress requiring that
majority Of the registered electors should vote upon
the question OF its ratification For these objections
and many others that might be presented cannot
approve this DILL, and therefore return 1t for the
action Of Congress, required in such cases by the
federal constitution. ANDREW JOHNSON.

VICTORY Avn DEFEAT.

Insomuch d we have not succeeded in
carrying the recent elections by absolute
State msjorities, we are defeated. Inso-
much as we have decreased the Rspub-
lican msjorities in those States, and to
that extent broken the triumphant spirit
Of Radicslism, we are victorious.
The prestige Of general success is with
our opponents, but that does not guaran-
tee them SUCCESS in November.
The prestige of great gains is with the
Democracy, to inspire to renewed exer-
tons against q foe that has made q stub.
born resistance with unusual forces Of
means, patronage andsfraud.
In the late elections many LEGAL con-
siderations directed the result so adverse
to US, Notwithstanding the Democracy
made SIS gallant a fight rs was ever made
by any party in the history of the coun-
try. AT the General Election, on
the 81 OF November next, the is-
sues will be of a purely national.
character. The Northern people will
then be called upon to say whether they
approve of the negroised Governments
OF the South whether they are willing
parties to the unjust determinations that
beggar the poor man to aggrandise the
b~ondholder. They are to ssy whether
We are to have pescein the Union, or are

are to say whether we are to be subju-
gated as q people, or be restored to ali
the rights, privileges and immunities for
which Il fathers as well q theirs con-
with the mother country.
These are the Issues between Radical
ism and Democracy. And they ere as
live to-day as they were on Monday last,

seemed within our grasp. They are

not ecu for you offices under the city

could possibly be the case. We do not
believe there is an Irishman, worthy the

that the recommendation of the Bristol
Convention held July Is, 1853, in regard
10 direct ocean communication between
Europe and Norfolk and the Mississippi
and Ohio valley, had been considered,
and that 8 recon mendation be adopted by
the present Convention proposing a sub
scription Of S., DOC, 600 to be Immediately
made to incorporate the International
Commercial Company OF the city Of
New York under an set of the General

report that It expresses pleasure at the
interest manifested by the various west
ern and north western States in q line of
communication between the Valley of
the Mississippi and the Atlantic ocean,
by way of the Ohio, Kanswha and
James rivers, and in view of its i'm

We hope the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen, at their meeting this evening,
Will settle, so far as they can, the
amount OF aid the Selma Railroad Ia to
have from the clty-whether $500, 900
or $500. 600. We join those interested in
asking for the latter sum-. .
And, while considering the Selma, we
suggest the good Fathers remember the
Little Rock Railroad, that has, through
60 many vieissltudes and changes,
dragged its slow length along. 1t is
perhaps the most necessary to Memphis
OF Gil the lines of railroad centering here,
hence the importance Of finishing it
Immediately. 1t needs $500. 900 for that
purpose.
The River Railroad, to connect us with
the tobacco couatry between this city
and the Ohio river, should also be pom
sidered, and some provision made for its
immediate commencement at Memphis.
Would 1t not be well to make sppropri-
alton of say one million dollars, to be
divided between the three roads, and
thus insure their early construction? Let.
the Board answer.
