veto of the omnibus Bill.

WASHINGTON, June %.
To day the President sent the fol-
lowing veto message to the House:
To the House Of Representatives.:
In returning to the House of Repre-
sentatives, in which it originated, a
bill entitled "An act to admit the
States of North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and
Florida to representation in Congress" "
| do not deem it necessary to state at
length the reasons which con5train me
to withhold my approval. | will not,
therefore, undertake at this time to re-
open the discussion upon the grave con-
stitutional questions involved in the
act of March 2, 1867, 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 govern
ment, nor will repeat the objections
contained in my message of the 10th
inst, returning without my signature
the bill to admit to representation the
State Of Arkansas and which are equal
ly applicable to the pending measure.
Like that recently passed in reference
to Arkansas, this bill supersedes the
plain and simple mode presented by
the Constitution for the admission to
seats in the respective houses Of Sena-
tors and Representatives. from the sew
eral States.
1t assumes authority over the States
of the Union which has never been del
egated to Congress, or is even warrant
ed by previous constitutional legisla-
ton upon the subject of restoration
1t proposes conditions which are in
der0gation of the equal rights of the
States, and is founded upon a theory
which issubversive OF the fundamental
principles of the government. In the
case of Alabama, it itviOlates the plighted
faith of Congress by forcing upon that
State a Constitution which was rejected
by the people, according to the eX-
press terms of an act Of Congress, re-
DURING that majority of the register
ed electors shall vote upon the queS-
ton ofits ratification. For these, and
many other objections that might be
presented, / cannot approve this bill,
and therefore return it for the action
of Congress required in such cases by
the Federal Constitution.

THINK OF 1T!

During the three years since the
close of the war, the expenses OF the
Government, have been upwards OF
nine hundred millions Of dollars! In
Democratic times the annual expenses
of the government, averaged scarcely
one hundred millions. If there had
been a Democratic Congress at Wash
ington, during the last three years,
sir hundred millions Of dollars would
have been saved to the taxpayers of
this country.
Why?
Human nature is the same thing i'll
all parties, says "sOme one" That Is
not quite true, because tUldtjcdt hu-
man nature is reckless and devilish,
whilst conservative human nature is
staid and steady and reliable. But,
for the sake of the argument, granted
that what "some One' says is true
Does that answer our assertion that a
Democratic Congress would have saved
two thirds of the cost at which the
Radicals have administered the Gov
ernment?
No!
The Democratic policy would have
restored the Union three years ago !;
the Democratic policy would have
abolished the standing army of $4,000
men; the Democratic policy would
have established no military govern
ment, at an enormous expense, over
ten States of the Union the Democrat
ic policy would have erected no Freed
mans Bureau for the benefit of carpet
bag adventures and black IdzzdTOni,
to eat out the substance of the people;
Furthermore, the Democratic policy
would have changed the entire charac-
ter of the internal revenue system, so
as to enable the Government to col
lect its taxes by far less complex and
costly machinery. Thus would the
expenses of the Government have been
reduced.
Now. think of it!
Is it notabout time that A CHANGE
of public servants be effected?
Is it not about time to cote out the
men who legislate only to aggrandize
themselves and their friends, at the
expense of the public?
Is it not about time to rOte in men
who will have some regard for the pub
lie welfare, who will labor to decrease,
instead of devising schemes to increase,
the burthen of the National Debt?
Verify, verify, we say unto you, il
there be not CHANGE FOR THE
BETTER, soon, there will be, ere
long, the dawning of dark and dread
fuI day, the name of which will be
written in the calendar of the coming
years, REPUTATION!

Wendell Phillips ON Grant

The irresistible Wendell Philips has
not vet given his adhesion to the NOM
inatiOn Of Grant. In late speech at
Boston he thus alluded to the great Mill
tary chieftain Of the age" He said:
We will have the ballot for the negro
by agitation soon.
A voice-HOw do you propose to do
it.
Mr.. Philips-I propose to do it just
as Christians occupied the throne OF
the Caesars. Loud cheers. [ pro-
pose to do it by telling men just what
God tells me. l will do it by do
ing what the temperance societies,
which are as hide-bound as the chur-
ches, dare not dO-"eXamine Repub-
lican candidate for the PreSidency''-
the most popular man in America,
''who cannot stand up before glass of
liquor without falling down." Great
silence, succeeded by applause. L will
do it by opposing the Republican par,
ty when it bids me "be silent about ne
gro suffrage North, it will hurt our par,
ty, Be silent about General Grants
drinking, it will hurt his chances" !
reply, God bids me speak what you bid
me forbear. / will speak, and let the
dead bury the dead, whether "they bu,

Radicalism progresses! The ''party
of progress" moves on! The diabol-
ism of the reckless demagogues who
now control the machinery of govern
ment, is hourly becoming more and
more intensified. 1t has at last come
to this. We are TO hare negroes ia Con-
gress! Charles Sumner says that they
will be admitted to seats, if elected,
and Summers will is generally law to
the Radicals. In answer to a letter
written to him by "cullud gemman"
of Norfolk, Va, the Massachusetts,
Senator writes as follows:
SENATE CHAMBER, June %, 1868.
Dear Sir Il have your letter Of the
18th in reference to the eligibility of q
colOred man to Congress. | know OF
no ground on which he could be eX-
cluded from his seat if duly elected,
and | should welcome the. election OF
competent representatives of the color
ed race to either house of Congress, as
the final triumph of the cause of equal
rights. Till this step is taken our sue
cess is incomplete.
Yours Truly,
CHARLES SUMNER.
Now, in three-fourths of the Con,
gressiOnal districts of the Southern
States, the blacks have the power to e.
iect COngressmen of their own color
Should Grant be elected, and MAORI
ty of Radicals chosen to the next Con-
gress, the negro Congressman sent
from the Southern States, will most
certainly become legislators for the peo-
pie of this great country. The Radical
leaders will take Grants election as an
endorsement Of the Chicago platform
which declares in favor Of Negro Suf
frage in the South, and per cOnse.
qle'lce, of such representatives as may
be elected by the negro vote. Let this
be fully and clearly understood. The
man aOlO UOteS for Grant, or for q R0di-
col candidate for Congress, as sure as
there is q san IN the heaUeRS, UOte%
for the admission into the Il. s. Congress-
Of NEGRO REPRESENTATIVES,
Forewarned is forearmed! The i'm.
pOrtance Of this phase of the Presiden
tial and Congressional question, must
give the people the most profound
concern. In view Of the danger that
impends over our civil institutions, al
personal preferences must be cast aside
all feelings of favor or affection must
be sacrificed for, no true man will
permit his own individual concerns tC
stand between himself and his coun
try.

a Poor Hob.

Now that Congress has admitted"
the States of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North
Carolina, and South Carolina, we have
a few questions to ask:
|. Is the Army to be withdrawn?
3. Is the Freedmen's Bureau to be
discontinued?
3. Is it safe for Northern men to
move there?
4. Will investment pay.
70 all of which we can only answer,
No. The army will not be withdrawn,
because these rotten governments, be-
gotten of the bayonet, would fade into
nothingness were the bayOnet but once
taken away The Bureau will not be
discontinued, because the negroes, into
whose hands these States have been
committed, need that institution in
order to feed them, make their con-
tracts for them, and teach them their
abe. 1t is not safe for Northern men
to move there, because the great ma
iority Of Northern voters are disfran-
chised there, and, even if they were
not, there is the eVer-preSent danger OF
a war of races. Investment will not
pay because carpet-bag government
bankrupts States.

Ministerial Crisis: Battle; Progress of
the Revolutionary Movement.
HAVANA, June 26.-The Ministerial
crisis in Mexico was about over. AT
last accounts, SenOr JanariO Mariscal
had accepted the Ministry of Justice.
Other changes are soon to be made
which would complete the Cabinet.
A battle had taken place between
the national forces and the revolution
lists under AnrelianO Rivera. Thecom-
mander of the government forces was
lassoed and killed during the engage
ment. The JuariSts claim victory.
Negrete was well received at Zeleta,
where the JuareZ government is not
recognized. A band of FevolutiOnists
commanded by Guillotes, gained a
success over the forces sent out against
them, in Guanajuato. The revolu-
tionary movement at Sierra GOrda
was increasing. The leaders had offer
ed the command of their forces to Gen
eral Escobeda.
The Mexican Board of Mining Com
missioners demand absolute freedom
from taxation of all previous minerals.
The official journal OF Jallsco sees III
the condemnation Of the Governor OF
that State, by the National Congress,
an attack upon State sovereignty,
which threatens the existence of Re-
publican institutions. a revolution
was expected in consequence OF this
treatment.

JACKSON, June 26.-JacksOnis ablaze
with enthusiasm. Such excitement
was probably never known in this
State. A colored Democraticc club from
Brandon, numbering three hundred,
is here to spend tO-mOrroW-our cleo

night. The whole State is giving

Brinson, a negro Radical candidate iq
Rankin County, joined the Democrats
to-day.
1t is reported from Vicksburg that
the President of the Radical Executive
Committee in Mississippi voted the
Democratic ticket. Ten counties roll
up a Democratic majority from five
thousand to ten thousand. The Radi-
Gals have carried four of the river
counties. The Democrats allow them
all the river counties, ten in number,
but none of the inland counties. AL
though there is great enthusiasm mani
tested, there is no hostile demonstra-
tions, and the opposing parties treat
each other with courtesy.

CRoUP.-We have read of many
remedies for this disease. The sud-
denness OF the attack, and the great
danger, may render the following
memorandum about the proper treat
ment of Group acceptable to ladies
having the charge of children. The
writer processes to have frequently
witnessed the salutary effects about
which he gives this advice:
"Wring linen cloth-cotton will do,
but linen is preferable-out of cold
water, fold it so as to make several
thicknesses, and place it upon the
child's throat and chest, then fold a
dry flannel and wrap carefully over it.
Warm the child's feet, with hot stones
if necessary, and cover with plenty of
bed-clothes, and let it 60 10 sleep
You cannot perceive when it wakes
that it has even cold. 1t acts like a
charm"

THE Inquirer, in speaking sneering-
ly Of the Democratic Soldiers and Sail
ors' Convention which is to assemble
in New York on the 4th, says,-"That
convention will be worth looking in
upon" Weagree with them there, for
it will be composed of the fighting men
of the late armies but the loyal ELAINE
duck" who grew pale at the approach
ofevery draft, and the "varicose veins
man, will never muster courage enough
to "look in upon" so brave an assem-
blage. Robed in the habiIiments OF
vaunted "loilty," they amuse them
selves by throwing dirty paper bullets
at truer and braver men than they
have ever shown themselves to be.
That suits them to nicely.

WHO is GRANT:

Who is Grant? The man who said
he would flight it out on this (the
Wilderness) line if it took all summer"
but didn't, and was fain, in the end, to
take McClellan's line, on the James
river. Who is Grant? The General
who, before he took Richmand, lost
nearly twice as many men as Lee had
in his whole army when the opposing
forces first met on the Rappahannock.
Who is Grant? The man who "sWung
around the circle" with Andy Johnson
in 1866, until he became giddy at
Cleveland and couldn't swing any fur
ther; the man who stood by Andy
Johnson's side when the latter was
presented the resolutions of the Phila-
delphia Convention; the man who
kicked out Stanton in August" and
sneaked out of the War Office in order
to let Stanton crawl back to it, in De
cember the man Whe broke his word
with his friend, the President; the
man who endorses the enfranchiSement
OF 100000 negroes, and, at the same
time, declares he will have ''nO policy
if elected to the Presidency. This is
Grant. From such President, good
Lord, deliver us !-HarTiSdaug Patriot.

The Radicals are getting fond of rem
egades since Andrew Johnson served
them 50 good turn. They have NOM
mated Grant, renegade Democrat,
and one of the most uncertain of turn
coats. We hope they will complete
their ticket by nominating for Con-
gress, John Cessna of this place, anoth-
er renegade. The ticket would then be
homogeneous.
