Oih. anotiu.k tu.oitior vkto. la nuother tiolunin, under the Tole graphic Kemi, will hp found tho Veto McsMgo of the President on the return bj hint to the Senate of, the Civil Kigbts Bill of the Radicals. We have not space, because of the late hour the report of the, Message reached' us,' to say rII that we Wish upon it. Uut we will bo understood vW we nay that, after a careful readiug f the rery terse anJ admirable docu ment, we most heartily and wholly ap prote and endorse it, la this Veto Message we think President Jolmsou plants himself wore ninarelj upon the tre doctrine of 'tate Sovereignty than We did in hw Veto Message of the Freed lucn'i Bureau 15U1, or in any other ttate paper or speech which has come from him during his lVesidcney. It is a Message which every Democrat, every lover of the Constitution, and every believer in the great cardinal priueiplos promulgated by Jefferson, cannot but endorse wid applaud. The Abolitionists ere now brought to a point. They must cither approve or con demn this most decisive act of ' the Prcsi- icnt- u. they approve u, the y must wallow ail their own denunciations of tho locf rice of State Sovereignty as a heresy and as treasonable, and declare themselves in favor of that doctrine. If they con Ueiau the Message, hey avow themselTcs the champions of Negro Suffrage, Negro Kquality, and the proscription of foreign born who may not yet hate become citi- teua, or who thall yet come to our chores from the countries of Kurope. They cannot dodge or shirk or divide upon the great Usues now before the people, which re entirely contained in this Message. Tiiey Cannot approve the act of the Pres ident and endorse the proceedings of Congress. As well might they attempt to approve Christianity aud endorse IV ganUia, The gulf which separates the two it as broad and as deep as the mind of man can conceive. A compromise or any eoceesaion between the two positious is, timply impossible. As well try to eompromise between Truth and False ioodJ , NeJthey must eland upon one tide or the other believe with Johnson r follow the Congress. Their ticket is ia the field. The people wiU eorapel their standard bearers to emphattc&lly declare whether they are for the principles laid down by the iVcsident, or tho radical policy of Congress. AVc predict that an explicit declaration cannot be wrung from tiif organs. v- k i The course of the Democracy is plain, pen, unreserved ;'.' They approve tho principles of the Message, aid will to the last uphold them. The Democracy are for the Union and the Constitution. Tfmr Is It? Some Weeks ago the Treasurer of Boise county, Idaho, proved defaulter in , the email sum of $1,000, which , ha been paid by his oScial sure ties, lie was a Democrat, and all the Abolition organs of Oregon had divers jargraphs, day after day, and week after week, .chronicling the dishonesty of that fir-of and small defalcation. Some weeks ega Collector Adams of Astoria reported himself , to I be rebbed of 520,500 on a steamer in going to Saa Francisco. It waa Government money, and the people will lose it Mr. Adams has told a cock anS'hall story about the" robbery which no sa.se man or child ever will believe; .but his own improbable story exhibits his own culpable carelessness in' the custody of the money. The Abolition organs are mum about the matter. Not a word have they to say about it. , Mr. Adams is a Federal oSeial ia Oregon ; he Is aa Abo litionist. How comes it that the papers which devoted so much space to the Boise Treasurer's case, ia which the people lost no. inoaeyv haTe nothing now to eay in Adims' ease, ia which the people lose i City.

The Abolition State Convention met at Corvsllis on Thursday morning at 10 oV.ovk, aud oiuluded their laWs that evening. Judge Wilson was Chairman of tho Convention, II. W.Suott (editor of the Orogonian), end P. L. WillU, of Ma rion, were Secretaries. After the permanent organiaatiou, the regular business of the Convention was proceeded with. Tho ballot Kystoui was adopted in nominations. A set of resolutions which hnd been carefully prepared by J esse Applegate woro adopted. There are nine of them just the number of the Muses, two more than the Wonders of the AVorld, and one toes than the Commandments. But they are unlike nnythiugever before produced. Not a word is paid about President John son or Congress, or tho vital issues which divide the two. The first has confidence in all loyal people ; tho second thinks oyal men may differ about restoring the Union, but intimates that they onuht never to differ on the division, of the spoils; the third thinks that taxation ought to go with representation -else how would the loyal men be enabled to live on the bounty of the Government J the fourth thinks that the man or tho party who would refuse to pay loyal men 100 couts on every dollar they have stolen from the Government, ot oue dollar for every fifty cents worth of greenbacks they have bought, should be consigned ,to " ever lasting infamy 5" the fifth butters the soldiers with fair promises the sixth crawls upon the Stato Bights platform just as drowning men hang on to chips by their eyelids j the seventh ploys boom erang on themselves, by denouncing nul lification as in their Personal Libcrtv bills and Specific Contract acts aud con demns secession as iii their theory that the eleven Southern States arc out of the Union ; the eight pledges them all to the support aud continuance of the Loyal League; and the aiuth throws a tub to the mining whale, by resolving that the intention of their own party is Congress, to tax or sell mineral lands is not the best campaigning measure for these gold and silver bearing Pacific States.

They have three of tho five State candidates, and we may say nil, for McPherson, we are assured, is pledged to remove to Sa lem if elected, and so is Woods. But smoothly as all this quick work locks on paper, the truth is, there is deep and wide spread discontent and rebellion over the platform and ticket General Coffin fairly boiled with rage, and Bowl by, Bayley, Whitson, Powell, and othr of the leaders, are furions in their re spective disappointments. The divisions in Multnomah, Jaekson, Douglas, Yam hill, Lane aad Wasco, will be widened by the ticket and resolutions. The Rad icals find na crumb of comfort ia the senseless, wishy-washy, dodging platform; neither do the CoiservatiTes see any ben efit to their wing to flow from the cta of the Convention. It is a most feeble plat form, and the ticket is yet weaker: : The Democracy will be able to show up the contemptible humbuggery of the one, and to beat the other, with all ease. All in all, it waa high old Convention. - Not Wells. The man lately taken all the way from Idaho to Sacramento un der the firm belief that he was Wells, the murderer, has at length, after a most crit ical investigatiaa,been released. lie con clusively proved himself to be, not Wells, but Donald MeDooald, an innocent, hard working jaaa, whose record waa clearly traced. ; ; . . . - The Spring Bcsh.--The Jloaatain- eer says the steamers from below eovae crowded with passengers and laden with freight daily for tlie Dalles and the great mininc regions beyond- The; Deem o o steamers also come crowded with passes irers everv trio from SauFranciseo.

Al. , T OATtS TO ta&RC21 so. Washington, March 2-3. The Secretary of the Treasury ha nent to Thad. Stevens, as Chairman of tho House Committee u Wvs and Meaiui, a letter, in which lie nays, witfi reference to a resolution riasxed by the House, nt the intaneo of Stevens s I did not wiy that the Secretary, without legislation, is suffk-iently araml with )wwcr, etc., but 1 did intend to wiv, that if it should W found neeesnary to modify in any import ant partieulars the provisions of tho bill re ported hy tho committee, I should prefer that it would not Itccnme n law. It wilk W, in my opinion, a national calamity if Con cress shall fail to grant additional powers to tho Secretary, for it will W very difficult, if uot ttuposMhle to fund tho intereet-bcnnug notes under the present law. Hut I do not think that the eotntniUcs or myself should become responsible in any wny for the law that is likely to fail in realising that object. I regard it a matter of the greatest import ance that the tiowors of the Seoretnry should not W strictly defined. For examplc if tho Secretory should W prohibited from aelUng Wndi below -.pur, it would be easy,, m tho market, in the proves of funding, must be liberally supplied, for the enemies of the (loverowent to form succc&sfut combinations for keeping the Wnd at such a price as would prevent negotiation of them. On the other hand, if tho authority of tho Secretary in this rcspoct is not limited, such combina tions would not likely bo formed. In my opinion tho best way of kceping.tlie WmLs nt a premium will h to leave the Secretary un restricted in their sale. In rezard to the uthcr important features of the bill regarding authority to wtthtn-aw nntos, 1 have to reply to the remark t had it is of vast importance to. the .business ot tue country, tho wellare Ot the people and the credit of the nation, that Mich a financial policy should W adopted by this Congress as will prepare tho wny for specie payment. "Whether this is brought about will depend on the condition of the nationai industry, liie relations between the Uni ted States and foreign nations mjike it desira.ilo that specie payment W restored if it enn W mado by increasing industry, and the proper adjustment of trade with .Eu rope, lhe indications are all now in the right direction, nnd if they shall W adjusts l . 1- . 1 .1 i! r II 1 n oy juuicious ieginmuuu, x enuu do nopeiui that the currency of the country may be brought up. to a specie standard "without a larger reduction of it.

If no reliance caii bo place3 upon tho dis cretion and carefulfl'?sof the- Secretary, tho very condition, or tlio tmnncca at tlm country will prevent sueh, reduction-tig will make either a light market or depress business. Authority to reduce the currency will give every facility to prevent necessity for reduc tion. The battle will be more than half fought when the Government 8ho,ll adopt a lieulthy nnoneiai policy.

General Hawiey, Republican.) says in the Ilartford 'Press, which he edits,' that the Freedmcn's Burea Bill ought to have passed by a two-third vots over tho veto, and that he read with profound regret the fact that Secretary "Welles takes sulks., and it is significant when it is reniembored that the Ilartford Press was established as his organ twelve years ago and that the most intimate personal and politic! relations have always existed between himself and Gen, Hawley.

Kayraond re marked that bo bad supposed the object of the measure was to provide tor tlie admission of members from Tennessee on this floor. There were some errors in the publication of the vote on the passage of the bill. Hutch inson appears as voting ave. Ho-was not present and did not vote. 'Washburn of Ill inois, nnd Conktin of New York, do not ap pear as voting at all. They voted aye. A Pretty Trick, We har it from good authority that Mallory secured a Domination in this way, vix : His friends went to Yuricfas delegations and assured them that be lid not really intend to run, but would be grateful for a " compliment ary Tote." The bait took- the ballots went in for Mallory from several delega tions who had been lod to bclicvo that for this favor their real favorites for Congress would receive the support of the Marion delegation and, ; on counting, Mallory h.ad a majority of bare four votes. But Yfovr nominated just as effectually as forty majority would haTe done. On ascertain ing that he bad a majority, his friends forgoi to withdraw his name, and the nomination remained a fixed fact. It is noteworthy that the Linn delegation re tained their votes until they ascertained that they could secure Mallory 'f nomina tion, and then they all voted for him.

Yha 5 tn tesm tin of last Mondrty miys: You DcHiocrtits neglected to "rally nround the ling," Mhon that ling was nxsiiilcd bv traitor?, nnd now you Imve no right to uk tlm people to rally to your aupport. Vi'lio but Democrats rallied to tlie American flg in - the war of 1812-18, when h!1 tho Federalists opposed it, and wlie.ii Now -England Hlutcs passed acts to givo aid nnd comfort to tho enemy ? Who rallied to that ling in the war with Mexico in 1X10-7, when only one regi ment, nnd thnt a Democratic regiment, wont from all New England 1 Who lias ever, in every contest with forcigu foes, rallied to, sustained, nttd uddc-d lustre and glory to that flag ? Wo can answer, nnd the Htateniinn ciinnot deny : Democrats! nd who have ever sought to prevent the m ti . . .a people lrom rniiyizg to it lu me wars against foreign flgrosors? Again we answer, and. ngain the Statesman cannot deny ; the enemies and opponents of De mocracy Federalists, Abolitionists, llad- icals ! It is tho proud, high boost of Demo crats that they nlwuys sustained, battled for, and rendered victorious, the flag of their country. They Ticsi4'rnmed its glory, nnd craved stars, as the symbol of tho sovereign States, from its broad folds. They never lowered it before an aggres sive, insolent foo, or raised it as an em Llcm of despotism over the prostrate form of u fellow countryman. They never denounced it nu a " flaunting lie," ns " hate's polluted rag." Dare the States man deny that its party lias done all these things which we aswrt the Democ racy have never doneT We know it dure not. History, indelible records, in controvertible truths, all attest that the Democracy have never done these foul awl infamous acts, nnd that the party opposed to Democracy have perpetrated catdi and nil of them. Then what party U it that has " rallied around the flag," iu every war or on every occasion when it was assaulted or imperilled, or to be saved from defeat, dishonor and disgrace. Unhesitatingly we answer, and the Site's uiau pannot deny the Dcmocrs.Vie party! And the Statesman cannot Cnow that the party to which it belong, ever displayed thin devotion to the flag wbiel. wc have shown on the part 0f ,j,e Democratic party. Tr.'.g Cag rally" ery by the Abolit; party is a cheat. They repre sent thirty-six States on their flag, aud Jet acknowledge only twenty-five.
