The love of power often gives tlie actions of
tnen strange names. Tyrants, the world over,
have delighted to term all who resist their
oppression and misrule traitors, rebels, disloy

loved while living, whose memory they cher

a rebel and traitor, and had not success crown

the gallows 11 is heart., design, motive and
merits were not changed by the smiles of for

not to have been potent enough to make man
kind view him otherwise than they did. Tf
lx-ever deserved death by the law, he would
have deserved it ns richly alter the victory at
Yprkl'rtvn as before. Such a punishment, in
ami' event, Would have been unjust, because he
was fighting in a holy cause. Americans know
this, and owe it P themselves to apply it in
every epoch of their history. Consistency and
justice demand its application to our late strug-

establish an independent government.. Their
principles and aims were idcnlical. AVashing-
ton was successful, Davis unsuccessful; but this
tact ought not to have caused Americans to
view them differently. If AA’ashington merited
the esteem, veneration and love of his coun
trymen and the friends of free government the
world over, Davis deserved them do less. How
unaccountable is it that Washington should be
delated to the chief office of the nation, aud
Davis consigned to a dungeon. Men—Amer
icans- have made this difference, but history
"ill not. Stanton s shackles and A3onroo’s
walls cannot sway the verdict of posterity.—

right and expedient to pass the measure now
submitted for my signature. It, therefore, be
comes Hie fluty of the Executive, standing !»--
tween the legislation of the one aud the will
of the other, lairly expressed, to determine
whether he should approve the bill, and thus
aid iu placing upon the statute boots of the
nation a law against which the people to whom
it is to apply have solemnly and with such
unanimity protested; or whether he should
return it with his objections in the h >pe that,
upon reconsideration, Congress, acting as the
representatives of the inhabitants of the seat
of Government, will permit them t > regulate
a purely local question as to them may seem
best suited to their interests and condition.—
I he District of Columbia was ceded to the U.
States by Maryland and Virginia, in order that
it might become the permanent seat <>f Gov
ernment of the United States. Accepted l>y
Congress, it at once became subject to the ex
ecutive legislation for which provision is made
in the Federal Constitution.
It should be borne in mind, however, that
in exercising its functions as the law-making
power of the District of Columbia, the author
ity of the national legislature is not without
limit, but that Congress is bound to observe
the letter and spirit of the Constitution, as
well in enactment of local laws for the seat of
Government as in legislation common to the
entire Union. AVcre it to be admitted that the
right to exercise exclusive legislation iu all
cases whatsoever, conferred ujvjii Congress un
limited power within the District of Columbia,
titles of nobility might be granted within its
boundaries, laws might be made respecting an
establishment of religion or prohibiting the
tree exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom
of speech or of the press, or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble and to petition
Government for a redress of grievances. Des
potism would thus reign at the seat of Govern
ment of a free Republic, and, as a place of
permanent residence, it would be avoided by
all who prefer the blessings of liberty to mere
emoluments of official position. It should,
also, be remembered that iu legislating for the
District of Columbia, under the Federal Con-
AVk’rtY^ ii* tthnlngnffs'fo tHaF of a legislature to
the people ol a .State under their own local
constitution. It does not, therefore, seem to
be asking too much that in matters pertaining
tcrtlie District, Congress should have like res
pect for the will and interest of its inhabitants
as is entertained by the State legislatures for
the wishes and prosperity of those for whom
they legislate.
J lie spirit of our Constitution and the genius
of our Government require that, in regard to
any law which is to affect, and have a perma
nent bearing upon tlie people, their will should
exert at least a reasonable influence upon those
w ho are acting in the cajucity of their legisla
ture. AVould, for instance, the legislature of
the State of New \ork, ot» Pennsylvania, or
Indiana, or any State in the l uion. in opposi
tion to the expressed will ot a large majority
of the people whom they were chosen to rep
resent, arbitrarily force upon them as voters all
persons of the African or negro race, and make
them eligible for office without any ether qual- i , ,. u , v
ideation than a certain term ol residence within , '
