A n and aginoiet of tbe Freedmco'l Bureau, Which trera effective for the protection uf freed taen and refugee! during the actual oootinatioo of bostilitiei and of African tervitude, will no, in a time of peace and after the abolition nf slavery, prove inadequate to tha lime proper ejnds. If I am correct in tlieie tiewi. there can be no Deoenit fur the enlargement of the powen of the Bureau, for which provision ii made In the bill. The third taction of the Iiill aothnrkea a gen ral and unlimited amount of aut to their ittitati and auffering refugee! aui freed men nd their wire and children. Succeeding tec tioni make provision for the rent or purchase f Ian Jed eitatei for freed men. and for tl reotioa, for their benefit, of initable building) for MTlomi and schoolt, tho expenses to be de frayed from tbe treasury nf the whole people. The Conrreii of the United Statu hae never heretofore tbonght itaelf competent to eetabliih 07 lawi beyond tbe Diitrict of Colombia, ex eept for the benefit of oar diiabled loldiere and aailon. It bai never founded eohoolt for any laii ef onr own people, not even for the or phiDi of tboae who have fallen in defetue of tbe Union, bat hae left the oare of their educa tion to tbe much more oompeteut control of the Statu or oommunitiei. or private aitociationi and of individual!. It baa never deemed ittelf authoriied to expend pnblio mouey for rent or porebaee of hornet for the thousands, not to rny Billion, of the white race who are boneitly toiling from day to day for their inbiiitence. ' A ijitero for tbe support of indigent peraont in tbe United State wae never contemplated by tbe author! of tbe Constitution. Nor can any good reaion be advanced wbr, ai a per manent ettabliibment, it ibould be provided far one claee or color of onr people more than far another. Pending the war, many refogeet nd freedmen received lupport from the Gov erement, bat it wii never intended that- they ibeald henceforth be fed, clothed, educated and haltered by tbe United Statei. The idea en wbieb tbe tlavet were auiited to freedom wae, that on becoming free tber would become a elf-iuitafog population. Any legislation that hall imply that they are not expected to attain aslf toatainlng condition moit have a tenden. ey tnjoriene alike to their character and tbeir nreiaerlty. The appointment of an agent for every coun ty and pariib will oreate an immenie patron age, and the expense of tha numerous officer! and their clerks, to be appointed by the Presj. dent, will be great in Ibu beginning, with a tendency to increaie. The appropriation aaked br the Freed men'i Bureau, aa now established, for the yenr 18G(S, amount to 1 1 1.745.000. It may be tafcly ra timated that the cost to be incurred niider the pending bill will require double that amount non than the entire sum expended in one year oder the administration of the second Adams. If tho preienoe of agent! iu every parish and County ii to be considered at a war measure, opposition or even resistance might be pro voked, to that to giv- effect to their Jurisdiction troops would have to be stationed within reach of every one of them..and thus a large Hand ing force be rendered necessary. Large ap propriations woul'i therefore lie necessary to uitaio and enforce military Jurisdiction in ev ery county and parish from the Potomac to the Bio Grande. The condition of our fiscal af fair! ii encouraging, but in order to tuitain the present measure of public confidence it it neuei tary that we practice not merely outtomary economy, but ai far at ponilile severe reitraint. In addition to the olijectinni already itated, the fifth lection of the bill proposes to tuke away land from iu former ownert without any legal proceeding being first bad, contrary to that provision of the Constitution wbieb declare! that 00 perton thill he deprived of life, liber ty or property without due process of law. It tfett not appear! that the landi to which tbii Motion refers may not be owned by minors or ptrtent of nnionpd mind, or by those who bare Been faithful to all tbeir obligation! aa oitiieni f the United Statet. If any portion of the land it beld by tuoh person!, ft it not compe tent for any authority to deprive them of it. If, en tbe other band, it be found that the property it liable to confiscation even, it can. ot be appropriated to pnblio purpose! until, by due prooeit of law, it shall have been de clared forfeited to tbe Government. There are ttill further objection! to tbe bill So ground! terioaily affecting the olatt of per aont te whom it it designed to bring relief. It will tend to keep the mind of the freedmen in state of uncertain expectation and restless less, while to those among whom he liret it will be a tource of constant and vagae appre hension. Undoubtedly the freedmen ibould be protected, but they should be protected by the civil aolboriliee, especially br tbe exercise ef all the constitutional powers of tbe court! of the United Statei and of the 8tatet. Hit con dition it not to exposed at may at first be im agined. He it in a portion of tbe country where ' hit servioei from planter!, from tboae who are ' constructing or repairing railroads, or from cap ilalitU in bit vicinity or from other Statei. will enable him to oommand almost bit own termi. Ill alto poiieiiei a perfect right to change hii abede, and If, therefore, he does not flud in one community or State a mode of life toiled to hit detirei, or proper temooeration for bit labor, he can move to another when labor is nioro esteemed and better rewarded. It it earnestly hoped that, Instead of waiting war, they will, by their own efforts, establish ' far themselves a condition of respectability and prosperity. It ii oertain they can attain to that condition 00 ly through their own meritt and exertioni. In thli connection the query presents Itself Whither tbe lyttem proposed by the bill will ot. when put luto complete operation, practi cally transfer the entire care, support and con trol of four million! of emancipated slaves to Mint, overseers or taskmasters, who. appoint- ' ta at Washington, are to he located in every aeonty and parish throughout the United Statei containing freedmen anil refngeee. Such a tya- ' tern would inevitably tend In such a eonoentia ties of power In Die Executive ai wonld enable him 10 to control the action nf a numerous clasi and ose them for the attainmeut ol bis own po- ' litieal ends. In troth, however, each Slate, induced by It own wants and interests, will do what ii necessary and proper to retain within its burd en all tbe labor that it needed for the develop ment of ill resources. The lawi that regulate apply and demand will maintain their force, and the waget of labor will be regulnted then-7- There U no danger that the great demand br labor will not operate in favor of the labor er 1 neither is sufficient consideration given la the ability of the freedmen Iu protect tui lake are of tbemselve. It is 00 more than Jus tice to then to believe that, as they have re ceived tbeir freedom with moderation and for bearance, so they will distinguish themselvet be tbeir industry, and they will feel and anon tew tbe world that in a condition uf freedom they are telf lostaloing, and capable uf select ing tbeir own employment and their own pla cet of abode, of (misting for theinirlvei un a proper remuneration, and of establishing and Maintaining their own asylumi and schools. I eaaaot bat add another grave objeclioa to the bill. The Ceiilltotieo imperatively de cline in eeaoeotioo with taxation, that each SUM lhall have at least one repmentative, and lie the rule or the number to which in htara timet each State ibill be entitled. It ' provide! that the Senate of the United Slate ihall be composed of two Senators fri s each State, and addi with peculiar force that s e Rule, without Iti content, shall be deprived ef iu eaffrage in the Senate. Tbe original , Act tree oouearlally patted In tbe absence of the Statu chiefly to be affected, because their people were than eontomacloasly engaged in Dm rebellion. New tbe eete ii changed, and , (acne, at least, of the State, are attending Cong reei. by loyal repreeeatitivee, and solicit bf tbe llovanc nf tbe constiutiooat righii f representation. At tbe lime, bowrver, ef 1 tbe ooatideralion and parting of tbe bill, there tat Seoalor or Representative in Congress frmw the tlevea Statei which arc te be mainly I 4ed by lt proviskini. 1 i. eery fact that reporta were and are f t-aint the food disposition ef the conn f It art additional reason why tbey need and " i t tiS T 'Pf "rn,alvee eef their w Is) ( --1 to tr,an their Condition, etpertallr . -St, and assist by I heir local knowl edge in the perfecting of measurei immediate- IV affecting themselvet. While tbe liberty ol deliberation would then be free, ind Congress would have full power to decide according tn iti Judgment, there could be uo objection urged that the Statei most interested bad not been permitted to bo heard. Tbe principle ii firmly fixed in the oiinJi of tbe American people that there oan be no tax ation without representation. Great burdens are now to be borne by all tbe country, and we may belt demand that they shall he borne without a murmur when tbey ore voted by a majority of the representatives of all tbe peo ple. I would not interfere with the unquestionable right of Congress to judge, each Horse for it self, of tbe eleotion returns and qualification of iti own members, but that authority cannot be coostroed as including tbe right to put out, in time of peace, any State from the represen tation to which it it entitled by tbe Constitu tion. At present all the people of eleven States are excluded. Those who were uiMt faithful during the war, not lest thin others, the State of Tennessee, for instance, whose authorities wire engaged in rebellion, was restored to ill her constitutional relations to the Union by the patriotism and energy of her injured and be trayed people before the war was brought to 1 termination. Tbey bad placed themselves in rclttioDS with the General Government, had established aStatu Government of their own, and as they were not included in the Euiin cipation Proclamation, they by their own act have amended tbeir Constitution to ai to abol ish slavery within the limits nf thoir Stat-. I know no ruaioo why the State of Tennes see, for example, should not fully enjoy her constitutional relations to the United Statei. Tbe President of the United States stands to wards tbe country in a somewhat different light from that of any member of Congress chosen from any tingle district or State. Tbe Presi dent ii chosen by the people of all the Statei. Eleven Statei are not at tbii time represented in either branch of Congress. It would seem to he hit duty on all proper occasions to pre sent their just claims to Congress. There always will be difference! of opinion in the community, and individuals may be guilty of violations of the law, hut these do not constitute valid objections againit the right of a State to representation. It would in no wise interfere with tbe discretion ol Congress with regard to the qualifications of members. But I hold it mv duty to recommend to yuu iu the interests of peace and interests ol the Union, the admission of every State to its hare of pnblio legislation, wbeu (however in subordinate, insurgent or rebellious iti people miv have been) it nreseiita itself in an attitude of loyalty and btrmony, and in the persons of Kxpresentatlvet whose loyalty cannot be ones tieued under existing constitutional or legal tests, it is plain that an indefinite or perma nent exclusion uf any part uf the country from representation must be attended by a spirit of disquiet and complaint. It ii unwise and dangerom to pursue a courin of measurei which will unite any large eution of the country againit another section of the country, no matter how much the latter may predominate. The course of immigration, development of industry and business, and naturul causes, will raise op at the South men at devoted to the Union as those nf anv other iiurt of the land. But if tbey are all excluded from Cengress if in a permanent statute they are declared not to be in full constitutional relations to the country, they may think they have cause to become a unit in feeling aud sentiment against me uovernment. Under tbe political education of the Ameri can people the idea is inherent and ineradica ble, that the consent uf the majority uf the whole people ii neoessiry to secure a willing acquiescence in legislation. The hill under Consideration refers to certain of the Statei 11 though they had not been fully restored to the United States. If they have not, let us at ouoi aet together to lecure that desirable end at the earliest possible moment. It ii bardly necessary for me to inform Con great that in my own judgment mot of these Statei, io fur at least as depends npou their own action, have already been fully restored, and are to he deemed to be entitled to enjoy their Constitutional rights at members uf the Uuioa, ruasouiug from tbe Constitution ittelf, and from the actual situation of the country. I feci not only entitled but bound tn assume that with the Fedeial Courts restored in the several Statei, and in the full exercise nf their functious, the rights aud interests uf all class es of tbe people will, with the aid of the mili tary in oaset of resistance tn the law, he es sentially protected agaiust unconstitutional in friniemeul and violation. Should thiiexpeotution unhappily fail, which I do not anticipate, then the Lxecutive is al ready armed with the power conferred hy tile act ol March, let!.), establishing the r reed- men 1 Hureau, and hereafter, as heretolore, be oan employ the land and naval fnrces of the country to suppress insurrection and to over come obstructions to the laws I return the hill to the Senate in the earnest hope that a measure involving nurilinni and intereslt 10 important to the country will not become a law, unless upon deliberate commie ration by the people it shall reoeive tbe lino tinn of au enlightened piblio judgmeut.

We take great pleasure in laying before our readers this week the late veto message of tbe President, for the reason that it a far better vindication of tbe policy and act of the Presi dent than we huve been able tn furnish. We need not ask the consideration of our readers, or tbe attention of the members of the ensuing Union State Convention, to tliii important State paper. Every Union man, and, in fact, every man of all parties, who tuket an interest in pnblio affairs, will read thit im-ssige with more thau usual interest. It it a document of extraordinary ability, and it it no wonder th' t tbe telegraph wai forced to admit that " it is unanswerable." It has been auggested that Seward wrete it. We tliiuk not. The plain, blunt logic with which every position is main taiued smacks of tbe self-made man, Andy Johnson. Since iti reception here, we asked one of the abltst Senators of the present Leg islature, and a radical man at tbat, what he thought nf it. " It it urtaruwerabU," was the prompt reply. And that is so. No man in or out of Congress w ill ever mnke a reatouabb reply tn it. Can Union men find anything in tbii message to disagree with 1 If so, what it it f We notice thnt onr hrithren of tbe press who were so wonderfully stirred op about the telegraphic report of it, have not been aid te pick out any part of the message against which tbey havo aught tn allege. Now, one word about that telegraphic report of tbe whole nlTiiir. Tilt meagre telegrapbio report of the veto message which was tent out here left the reader in doubt whether tbe Pres ident was in favor nf admitting loyal or disloyal members of Congress, hut stated as a positive fact tbe very damaging assert ion that the Pres ident believed that he could maintain order and prelect the freedmen hy the State militia, who were well known to be none other than disbanded rebel soldiers. With inch statement! at these, we are not all surprised that many good Union men should have felt mortified and indignant We did nut believe that the te! graph wat truthfully reporting the President, and therefore advised onr readers to read tbe telegraphic report! agaiust the President with caution. The printed message has folly justi fled what then teemed to be meddling advice. The message shows iu tho strongest language), that the President did not fnvor the admission tn Congress of any but truly loyal men, and that, instead nf proposing to maintain order and protect freedmen with the rebel militia, be declared that he could do so under and hy virtue of tbe provisions of the Freedinen'i Bureau new in operation, using the land and naval forcti of the United Statei, tir, in other words, the soldien of the regular army who raided with Sheridan, marched with Sherman, siege with Grant, and fought the rebels everywhere. We have not yet beard uf a single Union man in Oregon who is not willing to indorte the principle! enunciated in the veto message, and wo do not beliere there is one, after tbe message has been carefully read.

It it, at ever, by the nation's side." Let us see. At the Cincin nati Convention, in 18o6, the Democracy re tolved that Congress had no power to " legis- 'ate slavery into a Territory," and Hncbanun wii elected upon that platform. Iu 1800 the party went down to Charleston, and there split into two contending faction! the majority of fering tbe old Cincinnati platform without alter ations, the minority demanding " protection to lave property in the Territories and while passing through free States. The Democracy of the South, the Jo. Laneitei of Oregon, and a few such, "iteeded" from the Democratic Convention, and nominated Breckinridge and Lane; and the majority named Douglas at their standard hearer. In the election which fol lowed, Abraham Lincoln, nominee nf the He- publican party, was elected President, and Breckinridge liimsell, as Vice President, de clared Lincoln constitutionally elected. At tbii jnucture the Southern Democracy " teceded " the slave Statei from tbe Union, and set up the Southern Confederacy. Now, what did your Oregon Democrats lay to that ? What did tbe editor of the Democrat say ? Speak out. Did yon nut say that there was no power in the Government to prevent this " secession ?" Did you not argue tbat the Union bad no power over these Statei to prevent their destructive acts ? Did you not a:yuf from every Demo cratic paper in Oregon that tbe Government of the Union had no power or right to "coerce" these Statei back info the Union 1 Did you nut agree with Jarai s Buchanan, that our Fed eral (as you cull it) Constitution gave no power to the Union to prevent iti own dissolution ? Do we not state your position truly and fairly I And did yon not oppose tbe war against the rebellion from the day of the Presideut'i Grst call for troops to overthrow the rebellion until it wat overthrown? Did yoa not denounce each and every act to tuppress the rebellion, aud overthrow the Southern Confederacy, at violationi of the Constitution I Did you ever tay that much against the pretended right nf tecession 7 You supported Breckinridge and the Southern Democracy, and repudioted Doug las and the Northern Democracy. The South ern Democracy kept Dp their organization aft er secession, and nominated and elected Jeffer son Davis to the Presidency of the Southern (. onfederocy. The Northern Democracy kept up their organization, and nominated McClellau fur the Presidency; but you repudiated the McClellun nomination, and have generally, throughout the past year, repudiated all tbe resolutinnt and platform! of the Northern State Convention!. Yoo have never yet repudiated tbe Southern Democracy, with their principlei of secession and rebellion ; and the question now arises, if ' the position of the Oregon De mocracy ii not new but natural," don it not naturally, aud also according to the record and " political tuccestion," belong to and with the Southern Democracy, with Jefferson Davit as its leader aud standard bearer? If your Pres ident has faltered ind got into Fortresi Mon roe, do yon not yet hang tin to the doctrine that the Statei are io far independent of the Union as to retain the right of secession, at claimed by John C. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis ? cox.s iste7t1m?osiste.nt.
