THE PRESIDENT'S VETO 31 ESS
- ' ' AGE. : ' ' "
We publish in to-day's paper the PrcsU
den ts. Veto Message of tho so-called ro
construction bill, at full length, and hope
that it will bo carefully read aud consid
ered by every intelligent , and thinking
man and woman in tho whole country.
It is ccmprehensive and full of patriotism,
logic and statesmanship. : For surpassing
ability, as a State paper, it is such an one
as is seldom, put before tho country.
"Whatever the faults and blunders of the
President may have been in the past (and
they were many), has late course, in op
posing the radical and wrongful measures
of Congress -which are calculated to
subvert and overthrow the Constitution
and paralyze the whole machinery ol the
Government has done much to retrieve
liinu We hope he may continuo to do
right. '
The message meets every proposition
in the bill with that candor, fairness, bold
state smacsMp and apparent firmness of pur
pose that the grave importance of its con
sideration requires, and as becomes the
Chief 3Iagistrate of the Nation. Tho
Preside at must evidently have felt the
force of the fact that the Radicals in
Congress, by the passage of this bill, were
fataly lcnt on mischief ; that, under the
pica of "Reconstruction," they were de
dermined not to reconstruct, but destroy
the Federal Constitution and prevent a
fnajntaiuance of the Union. To prepare
and present such a law to the President
for his signature, was to make an open
demand upon htm to forget his oath or
obligation to support the Constitution and
laws, an i to array himself in open enmity
to his ccuntry and his country's weal; to
thus mVte himself like those who made
and sup-,xrted the bill as vile a criminal
as 'fever cowered at the feet of offended
justice.
Notwithstanding the veto by the Presi
dent, th i bill was passed over the , veto
and became what called a law, though
in clear and unmistakable violation of the
constitution of the United States. It is de-
noimnat 2d a bill "to provide for the more ef
ficient government of the rebel States."
The States and the people to which this law
is intended to apply, by the provisions of the
law arc declared and made subject only to
military rule and government, and are di
complete nd absoluto military des
potism I We repeat again, what more
can be done to complete tho work and
wicked design of the -Radicals to make
suro the subversion of the Constitution,
the destruction of the rights of the States
and the overthrow of our freo institutions?
a scheme concocted by Abolitionists
long prior to tho late war, and to carry
out which they inaugurated and prosecu
ted the war.
; How loug this 8tato of things shall
continuo remains for the future action of
tho people to solve. Wo still hope that
right reason will return," and Uavo some
confidence in tho enlightened public opin
ion and judgment of the people. The
Democratic party has stood firmly and no
bly at all times by the Constitution, the
Union, liberty and law, and will continuo
to do so ; and in ultimate Democratic tri
umph we shall have tho Government re
stored to a proper Constitutional basis.

Southern Relief.
We this week received a note from "J. T.
of Syracuse Township, requesting some
information with regard to the distribution
of the funds contributed for the relief of tho
South. We will state, in brief, that the
money con bo expressed from this point, per
Welln, Fargo Jb Co., to the President of the
Southern Relief Society at San Francisco;
thence it is telegraphed by draft to the Gen-
era! Agent of tho Southern Famine Relief
Commission at New York, who again tele
graphs by draft to the local agents in the
Southern cities, who arc appointed especial
ly for that duty not Frecdmen's Bureau of
ficers nor ex-rebel general, but men chosen
because of their known honesty and fidelity
in the.cau?e of humanity, justice and right.
Thus it will be seen that within a few hours
after the money leaves San Francisco it is in
actual operation in the South, relieving the
destitute and famishing children of an op
pressed but noble people.
The famine is reported to be appalling.
The General Agent of the Relief Commission
states that the cash received amounts to
$200,000. The distress is authoritatively
stated to be urgent. Increased contributions
are urgently solicited. General Sickles
states that the general and increasing desti
tution in bis'district is fearful, and renders
necessary the adoption of immediate means
of relief. In Louisiana sreat destitution has
resulted from the breakage of the levee and
the inundation of the plantations. It is es-
umatea in at one hundred ihuutand persons
in South Carolina alone are without meat t
There have already been several deaths by
starvation, and even some have chosen the
horrible alternative of filling the grave of a
suicide rather than suffer the pangs of hun
ger and the torture of slow starvation.
Up to date Linn county has contributed
and paid in over $400, and only about half
the precincts have yet reported. Money paid
in to Joseph Nixon, Treasurer of the Linn
County Southern Relief Society, will be duly
forwarded.

trA Tho State laws are made powerless
and held for nought for it is declared in
the bill that when even the civil and Mili
tary laws shall come in conflict the civil
law must give way. These military offi
cers sit as judges supreme of all stioas
that nay arise under th provisions of
-tho sea!lad law. The Tight of universal
suffrage Is extended to all within the
States lately in revolt, regardless of race,
color or condition.
This is the work of a Radical Congress,
supported and backed up by the corrupt
and fanatical . party that holds, for the
time being, political ascendency, and is
the, crowaing crime of iheir unmeasured
infamy. They have left no stone un
turned, to step un taken, in their desper
ate and persistent efforts to consummate
their original design to overthrow the old
Constitution and subvert the liberties of
hefeopIe. What more could be done to
make the work .complete! The Bill of
Rights, iTihicb deelaxes that the military
-shall be autordicate to eivil power, has
'been, repudiated, and the great principle
which it enunciated iscrersed by unwar
ranted Congressional enactment. The
vConstitution of the United States the
dGxeat Charter of Liberty rand therefore
jhated and denounced by he jadical party
in power as, a polluted thing has .been
.radically changed, in violation of its own
provisions thereby supplanting the bid
republican system, and establishing aew

power consolidated and centralized in

Lincoln. He was recently put on trial and
convicted of perjury before the District Su
preme Court at Washington. The testimony
given shows that Holt, then Judge Advocate
General, paid the witness Conover to testify,
instructed and counseled bun in the character
of his testimony and patted and patronized
him in his perjury. Conover has been con
victed, but Holt, the suborner, and the more
wicked and culpable, and criminal of the
two, goes unwhipped of justice. The little
scoundrel suffers the penalty of the law the
great rascal walks abroad unharmed. The

nostrils of Jehovah!
Th I:icomTnx. Y
The Journal of Commerce reiterates its
doubts as to the constitutionality of; the
income tax, and not only that but says :
"Wo are not a little startled by tho asser
tion made in a communication beforo us,
that tho authorities dare not bring the
question to a judicial test, aud that the
writer, 'although doing a largo business
in tho city, has never had any trouble
from non-payment.' If he will send his
full address as well as his name, wo will
hand tho samo to the Assessor of the
proper district and we think a test case
would very goon bo ruado. Whether con
stitutional or not, tho Incomo Tax will al
ways be tho most unequal, inquisitorial,
and unpopular of all tho exactions for rev
enue, and wo hope will be ono of tho first
repealed. . If levio without discrimination
as it should bo if at all, in an equal per
centage on every dollar of in come from ev
ery source, tho will of tho peoplo would then
be fairly tested. In that case, we do not
belicvo that it would stand another year.
The plea that it reached men of wealth
who cannot be taxed in any other way, is
simply ridiculous. All taxes come at
last upon labor. . There is no property
that is not "earned, and all taxation is a
lien on labor, and comes out of somebody's
earnings, no matter who pays over the
money. There is a better way than this
to produce the samo result, and wo trust
it will ultimately be found. i
Civilization." -Next to "loyalty"
. ft a . . a
says tho Ualtiraoro Uazetto, there has
been nothing half so much glorified in this
country, for tho last six years, as "civili
zation." Somotitncs it has been called
"Christian civilization," sometimes "New
England civilization," and sometimes we
have had it pure and simple. Even loy
alty has been treated, in the very highest
quarters, as a mere tributary to it
Those splendid exemplars of New Eng
land heroism and virtue, Generals Duller
and Banks and Ncal Dow were civilizcrs,
Turchin and Drownlow, MacNeil and
Thomas, belonged to tho same good fel
lowship. Not a watch nor a spoon was
robbed, not a house burned, nor a piano,
picture or bracelet sent to Boston or else
where, but was, in some mysterious way
tributary to civilization. Rape and mur
der were apostles of the same evangel.
Cot ton -jobbers and tobacco-smugglers,
loyal creditors of extortioners, hunting
down disloyal moneys, wero allongaged in
preaching it and doing its work. The
Military bill has just ushered in its mil.
lenium, and its gorged lions will soon be
lying down by its shorn lambs, with a
halo of blessed confiscation around their
jaws.
