Business Cards. REBEL REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS.
By far tlie most objectionable part
of the President s 'recent veto message
is thfi part In whicli lid lectures Con
gress because the so-called Representa
tives ami Senators from the late revolt
ed States are . kept waiting fof their
seats, and are not permitted at once to
take"1heir positions alongside of Ohio
and'TJW York." " We print this part of
it below la full, .and ask the attention
of onr readers ti) t!iis latest attempt of
the Executive to ' override the repre
sentatives of the people. ' , ' 1 ,
' President Johkson, in this mote, has
some illustrious precedents as, for in
stance, Buchanan in the Kansas im
broglio.1 Our recollection is that Mr.
Buchanan did' not come out of. that
scrn pd with a great deal of credit. We
will see what will be the result of this
latest attempt at Executive usurpa
tion. : .
Mr. Johnson, . in his r.eal to get the
late : Rebels into Congress (for. none
but Rebels have been elected . in those
States) makes a : strong, argument in
favor of negro sutTrage. He says :
"The principle is firmly fixed in the
minds, of the American people that
there should be no taxation without
representation."' As an illustrious
stumper of the Cops, in Belmont Coun
ty would say, i " What are you going
to do with the ' nigger" when he ac
quires taxable property? - " '
Mr. Johnson says : '
I cuntiot but add another very crave ob
jectioti to tlii.n bill. Tlio Constitution im
perattvely (li!C"nrn in conaection wan tax

Sonate nf the United State shall be coui
pnsod of two Senators Iroui each State, and
add, with peculiar force, that no State,
without its oonsttnt, shall ho deprived of iu
suffrage id the Senate. Tiie original, act
was necessarily panned in the abxenvo of
lh States chit fly intereMed, becauHe their
peop!e,w re then cnntuinaciotisly; enpaaed
in the rebellion. Now the ca'seischaniwd,
and sumo at least of thA States' are attend

lieiting the allowance of the constitutional
right of representation. At the time, how
ever, of the consideration' and passing of
the bill, 'there was no Senator or Represen.
tative in Congress from the eleven States
which are to be mainly affected by its pro
visions. The very fact thut reports were
and ure made against the good disposition
of tho oountry, is an additiunl reason why
they need and should hso Representatives
of their own in Congress ti explain their
condition, and assist by their lecal knowl
edne in th perfecting of tneasurea imme
diately affecting themselves, while the: lib
etty of deliberation would then be free, and
Congress would have lull power lo decide
according to its judgment. There could be
no objection urged Ahat tho States mrt in
terested had not been permitted to be beard.
The principle is firmly fixed in the minds
Of the American people that there should
be no taxation without . representation. t
Oreat burdens are now to be borne by, all
the country, and we may best demand that
they shall bo borne without a murmur when
they are voted by a minority of the Repte-
seiitati ves 61 all the people. 1 would not
interfere ,with the uni)iiiionable ' right of
Congress to judge, each house for itself, ol
the election, returns nm qualifications of its
own mouthers; but lhat. authority cannot
be eoustrued as including the right lo put
out iu time of peace any Siate from the
representation to which it is entitled by tho
Constitution. At present, all the people
of the eleven States are excluded those
who were most iaithful during the war not
less lb.au others. The State of Tennessee,
.for. instance, whose authorities were en-
gitge.d in the rebellion, was restored to an

and botr'aved people, Before the 'war was
brought to a termination, they had placed

Government, hud established a State Gov
rnuient of their own. As they were not
nlnrlnii in the einatioiiiation proclamation.
thev. bv their own acts, have amended their
Constitution SO as to abolish slavery within
the limits of their own State. 1 know no
reason why the Stute of Tennessee, tor ex
ample, should not fully erjny her constitu
tional relations to the United Slates. The
President of the United States stands to-
wrd the country in a somewnui aimirem
altitude from that of any member' of Con-
cross, chosen from a single district or state.
The President i choson by the paoplo of

claims to Congress, , There always will ha
differeneas of opinion', in the eswinunfty,
and individuals may he guilty of transgres
sion of the law ; but these do not constitute
valid objections against the right of a State
to representation.' I would in nowise inter

gard to the qualification of members, .but I
hold it my duty te recommend to you io the
interest of psaos and io the interest of the
Union, the admission ; of eveiy. State te Its

the political education ot the American peo
ple the idea is inherent and ineradicable
that the cousent ol the trnjority of the whole
people is uccimsary to accure willing anqui

The bill un lero insliHration refers to cer
tain of the States as thonph they had not
been fully reatored to the United States.
If they have not, let u at oaoe act tonether
to aentire that desirable end at the earliest

THE SENATORIAL BLACK
SHEEP.
Tho following Senators, elected as
Union men, voted with the Copper
heads against the passage of the Freed
men's Bureau bill, over the President's
veto: ,
James Ilxon, of Connecticut;
Itanlel S. IVorton, of Minnesota;
Win. M. Stewarl, of Nevadaj
Eflirar Coivun, of Pennsylvania;
Edwin I. Mora-art, of New York :
James R. Uoolittln, of Wisconsin.
These, with Van Winkle and Willey,
of West Virginia, idded to the ten
Democrats,' constituted the " eighteen
negative votes. Wright, (Dein.) of
New Jersey, and Foote, (Union) of
Vermont, were the only Senators
absent.
The votes of Messrs. Morgan and
Norton, it is asserted, were purchased.
a
In view of the President's veto, the
following explicit statement by the ex
tremely conservative Washington cor
respondent of the extremely conserv.
ativc Cincinnati Commercial, becomes
interesting ; .' "
The Bureau Bill was originally prepared
by Gun. Howard, and revised in consults
lion with Senntor Timibuli. It tons then
mbmittnl tn the PmiJi'itt. tvho exanu'iie.J it
with conss.lwilbh care, and approved it cor
diully. That is from a letter dated February
12, seven days before the veto. It is
matter or some interest to know
whether this positive' statement that
the Freedmen's Bill was at one time
approved by tho President will be de
nied or can be. If lie approved it
ouce, when 'did he change his .opinion,
and why? '
;
We quote the following from atrtist
'worthy Washington! .correspondent,
touching the President's veto; '.
"The usti il Tuesday evening reception at
the White H mso wis, because of the situa
tion ot'uff.iiin. denied to the public. . Some
of the revelers at H'illard's pulilicly drank
tho toast; 'The three chief American of
the present : Jefferson Davis, Andrew
Johnson and Robert E. Iieel' The evening
organ of the opposition says; " "The Presi-
dent will put down treason in the councils of
the nation as ho did in the field.' The call
is nut for a ninm meeting on Thursday, to
uphold the President in his policy, and
among its signers are scores of men known
here for four years as rebel sympathizers.
These are facts; let the rumors pass unno
ticed. "

own comments. , ' '.,'.'.,

The Uuion members of the Ohio Legis
lature have the honor of being the first to
iqdorse the House resolution for the exclu
sion of Ho be I Representatives clainiingseats
in Congress. ' Un the evening ot its passage,
Ohio resolved : 'That in the action of the
Union Representatives in Congress we re
cognize an exposition of the nrinciples that
made us a .party and saved our country
through the late R 'bullion, and we 'tender
suoh Representatives our hearty support. "
That is but one expression of the feeling
which sweeps over the country like a whirl
wind,' and which seeks out its honest and
honored representatives in Washington with
a declaration ot profound gratitude and re'
speot with an affirmation that they have
done all they could at the moment to pre
serve the country against the most immi
nent peril. ; , .

, . wi no

urged to the Mesas fe of the President, in
detail. It may well Cause doubts in the
mind of the Executive a. to the correctness
ot his portion, when bells art ruug and caps
thrown up by the part v which has all through
the war given a cowardly sort ot aid and
comfort to the rebellion, while Union men
go about the street sadly, feeling that the
causa for which we have battled with such
expenditure of blood and treasure, agsiost
open, armed foes in front, and secret, insid
ious traitors in the rear, ia in Jerttfrem one
of it most cherished and trusted defender a.
.The- promrrt fltion el the- Union 4hbb
beri of I he Ohio Legislature leaves no room,
for doubt as to whero they stand. The
same sentiment will be found to be well-nigh
unanimous throughout the State and the
loyal North. .
[From the N. Y. Tribune.]
' .., Mr. Johnson has made
a grave mistake. He his relieved tho-e
who elected him of a great responsibility by
talcing it on his own shoulders. Herpatter,
whatever wrongs may be itiflieted npnn or
indignities suffered by the Southern Blacks,
will be charged to the President, who has
left them naked to their enemies. Time
will show that he has' thereby precluded a
true and speedy restoration of the South,
and inflicted more lasting misery on her
Whites than on her Blacks.
[From the Washington (D. C.) Chronicle]
This messaee nf President Johnson will
fall like, the old hand of death upon the t
warm impulses oi tun american people,
who have given so much of their treasure
and their blood to the cause of the republic!
and have expressed such unstinted and un
questioning coofidenee in the Executive.
It is not the fnct that he refused to sign Mr.
Trumbull's bill that will startle and naralyze
them ; but when he appeals, nay, demnuhy
that the States now almost as rebellious as
they were a year ago, certainly as much fill
ed with hate of the Congressional majorities,
and of the loyal masses of the American peo
ple, shall at onee be rehabilitated, he will
send a thrill of dismay to every leval heart
throughout our wide domain. There is,
indeed, cause for universil solicitude. The
surrender of Lee was only the beginning of
new rebellion. The defeated traitor
threatens a?ain to become the triumphant
dictator, Even from his strong cell in For
trosa Monroe theehiel conspirator may be
gin to indulge the hop of returning to
the Senate of the United States, there to
reassert that fatal supremacy whieh encour
aged secession under one administration,
and precipitated rebellion against another.

comments : , ., . , , ,.,,;'.; :
Such is the snm and substance of the bill.
It was not designed for a time of peace. It
was not fitted tor well ordered Stale Gov
ernments like the loyal States North. It
was framed with an express Intention to
drepare the way for peaoe and Union in tho
rebellious south. " It was adapted to the
conditions f a rebellious masterclass of
traitors to the Government, and to a class
of humble, oppressed men who had been
liberated from Slavery, and who had sheld
their blood for the Government which is
bound by the most sacred obligation's of
honor, not to speak jot humanity, to afford
them all the protection in its power, until
they shall be able to relieve themselves of
the encumbrances which two 'centuries of
chains dud whip lash have worn into their
SOUlS. ' i : !
[From the Cleveland Leader]
The bill, the mildest, the 'most conserva
tive, the most obviously, essential of all the
great treasures initiated by the present
Congiess,having finally passr-d both branches
of the National Legislature, and having been
sent to the President for his signature, on
Tuesday last, was yesterday returned to
Goncress with his onjeotinns.
. ihe President has
proven false to himself,, to his glorious war
record, to his pledges to the colored people
of the South, and to the party which elect
ed him, by thus placing himself with the
Copperheads and rebels iq opposition to a
measure absolutely necessary for tho pro
tection of ihe Southern Unionists; black or
white, and will have cause to regret it to
the end of a very brief political existence,
and for his life thereafter, ' ..
[From the Sandusky Register.]
' Intelligent observers ware prepared to soe
Mr. Johnson return the Freedraea's Bill to

before he eould approve it, but very few out

Republican President deliver a ibiee col
li inn valedictory to the Union party, and
declare himself the champion of his native

look in vain through th i President's long
message for a "single ray of hope for the
emancipated slaves, whose - freedom w are
