To the Senate of the United States: I regret that tho bill which has passed both houses of Congress, entitled “ An act to protoct all persons in the United States in their civil rights and furnish the means of their vindication,” contains a provi sion which 1 cannot approve consistently with inj' sense of duty to the whole people and my obligation to the Constitution of the United States. I am there fore constrained to return it to the Senate, the house in which it originated, with my objection to its be coming a law. By the first section of the bill, all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are declared to be citizens of thugUnited States. This provision com prehends the Chinese of the* Pacific States, Indians subject to taxation, tho people called gypsies, as well as tho entire race designated as blacks, peoplo of co lor, negroes, mulattoes, and persons of African blood. Every individual of these races born in the United States, by this bill is made a citizen of the United States. It does not purport to declare or confer any other right of citizenship than Federal citizenship; it docs not propose to give these classes of persona auy .-'tutus of citizens of the States except that which may result from their status as citizens of tho United States. The power to confer the right of State citi zenship is just as exclusively with tbe several .States as the power to confor tlio right of Fedoral citizen ship with Congress The right of Federal citizenship thus to be con ferred in tho several States on the generally excepted races before mentioned, is now, for the first time, proposed to be given by law. If, as is claimed by many, all persons who are native born already are, by virtue of the Constitution, citizens of tho United States, tbe passage of this bill is not necessary to make them such. If, on the other hand, snch persons are not citizens, as may be assumed from the proposed legislation to make them such,* the grave question presents itself, whether, while eleven of the thirtj’-six states arc unrepresented in i ougress, as at this time, it is sound policy to make tho .entire colored popula tion, and all other excepted classes citizens of the United States. Four millions of these havo just emerged from slavery into freedom. Can it be rea sonably supposed that they possess the requisite qualifications to entitle them to all the privileges and adopt ality. Iu the next place this is the duty of a judicial de- i cision, and couverts the State judge into a mere 1 ministerial officer, bound to decide according to the will of Congress. It ia clear that, instates which deny to persons whose rights are secured, by the first section of the bill, any one of those rights, all criminal and civil case* affecting* them will, by the provisions of the third section, come under the coguizance of the Federal tribunals. It follows that if auy State which deuies to a colored person any one of theso rights, and that person should commit a crime against the laws of the State, murder or any other crime, all pro tections and punishment through the courts of the State 1 are taken away, and lie cju be tried aud pun ished in the Federal Courts. How is tho criminal to be tried if the offense is pro vided lor aud punished by Federal law. That law j and not Slate law ia to govern. It is only when the j offense does not happen to be within the provisions of the Federal law that tho Federal courts are to try i and puuish him under any other law. Then resort is j co be had to the common law as modified and changed 1 by St.ttc legislation, so far aa the same is not ineousis- j tciii with the Constitution and laws of the United Th** tv«n i 'T * States.

Tho question hero naturally arises, from what sources Congress derives the power to transfer to Federal tribunals certain classes of cases embraced in this section. The Constitution expressly declares that the judi cial power of the United Spates shall extend to all cases ill law and equity arising under tho Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, aud which shall be made under their authority ; to all cases affecting embassadors or other public ministers and consuls ; to all cases of admiralty und maritime jurisprudence ; to controversies to which tho United . m. , States shall be a party ; to controversies betwoen two , ’ l,l l ,r [ ,vc,l,elJt8 ® rc those usually found on or more State., botu-eeu a State and citizens of an- ■ ,lrKr ' r I? fi8 Pbinrallous.

The orator bases his views of government in tbe ancients on patriotism and in tlie moderns on re- ’ ligion—the religion of the ^gospel. If, says lie, “tlie ! thing known as a State be of divine origin then the lord of that ijtate must be a divine feeling—a xphgiouu sentiment and its services a moral aud holy duty.

The very idea of society implies that of rule, of universal law—that is to say of government,” aud he plainly demon strates that this great first social law is Justice and iieason." Man cannot pr,tend to be the author of Jus tice and Reason, for, iriftthe exercise of his free will aud imperfect nature, he often outrages both, yet they are the law of his being, which is never voiceless people, varying In each sccoidmg to its own peculiar circumstances and the safety and well being of Its own citizens 1 do not mean to say that upon all these subjects there are not Federal restraints, as for mstaui-e in the State power of the Legislature over contracts, there is it Federal limitation that no State shall jiaxs a law impairing the obligation of con tracts ; end aa to crimes, that no State shall pass an er post facto law ; aud as to money, that no State .shall make anything hut gold and shyer a legal ten der ; i<nt where can we find a ’Federal prohibition against tiie power of any St ite to discriminate, as do most of them,'between "aliens aud citizens, between artificial persona called corporations und natural persons ill tlie light to hold real estate; If it be granted that Congrss can repeal all State THE EYE, EAE, AND THROAT. the forum of his conscience—never abscni from the f laws discriminating between whites and flacks, on chambe* of his memory. I the subjects covered by this bill, why, it may he . asked, ma}* not Congress repeal,-in the same way, all The orator ia this way deduces the conclusion that ! state laws discriminating between the two races on society aud government are dependent on each other the subject-of suffrage and office? If Congress but that society is the greater. “It is the first In the '‘ v? fiwtore to law who shall hold lands, J . , w ho shall have capacity to make con- oruer ol Uungs; that of society being primary, to per- tracts ill a Stale, then Congress can also by lect aud preserve our race; and of government in vo.uf ■ a law declare who, .without regard to raco or color, ary and subordinate, to preserve and .perfect society, i sBal! have the right to ait.as a juror, or judge, to hold any office, aud finally to vote in c\’ery liotii are, however, necessary to the- existence and 1 -jtate and Territory of the United States.

Such an act may deprive the black man of his property, ‘ —- — • • * • • force, that is to be always at hand, aud whose ouly bueinesa is to be the enforcement of this measure over the vast region where it is intended to operate. I do not jii opose to con sider the policy of this bill- Xo me the details of tha bill are fraught with evil. The white race aud black race of the youth have hith erto lived together under the relation of master aud slave, capital owning labor. Now that relation is changed, aud as to ownership, capital and labor are ’divorced. They stand now, each master of itself. In this new relation, one being necessary to the other, there will he a new adjustment which both arc deeply interested in making harmonious. Each has equal power in settling the terms, and if left to tha laws that regulate capital and labor it is confidently believed they will satisfactorilly work out tbe prob lem. Capital, it is true, has more intelligence, but labor is never so ignorant as not to understand its own interests, as not to know its own value, us not to see that capital must pay that value. This bill frus- trates this adjustment. It intervenes between capital and labor aud attempts to settle the question of po litical economy through the agency of numerous offi cials whose interest u will be to ferment discord be tween the two races; for as the breach widens their employment will continue, aud when it is closed their occupation Trill end. In all our history, in all our experience as a people livin#nnder Federal and State laws, no such system as that ooutemplated by the de- ails of this hill has ever been proposed or adopted. , They establish for the security of the colored raco ! safeguards which go infinitely beyond auy of those j D ll.

In fact, the distinction of raco aud color ia by the bill made to operate in favor of the colored again nt the white race. They interfere with the municipal legislation of the States, with relations exiiting exclusively between a State and its citizens, and between inhabitant* of the -ante State, and the absorption and resumption of power by ’ the general Government, which, if acquiesced in, muat sap and destiny our i'oderalixe system of limited powers, and break down the bar riers which preserve the rights, of the States. It is another step, or rather stride, toward centralization and the concentration of ail legislative power* in the National Government. The tendency of the bill must be to resU8i*itato the spirit of rebellion, aud to arrest the drogressof those inuuinces which are more close- iy drawing around the States the bond of union and peace.
