Synopsis of the President’s Mes
sage Vetoing the Sherman
Military Bill-
Tlie President save, hi effect that
he lias examined tnc bill In pr.A i>lt*
more i tllcimrl governnw f- in the rel>
el States, with the can; which its
transcendent importance awakens. —
He is unable to assent to it. The rea*
sons for his refusal are so grtfve, that
he hopes a statement of them will in
fluence patriotic and enlightened men.
The biii places ten States under mili
tary rulers. He combats the preamble.
His information shows that the people
are united, and.have reorganized their
governments on the basis of peace. —*
The face of the bill shows its object
not to be peace. After the States
adopt measures' notorously objections*
ble, representation will be allowed
without reference to security of life or
property. The preamble’s excuse for
the bill, is admitted by the bill to be
false. 3Jilitary rule is established, not
for the prevention of crime, but for
the enforcement of the adaption of
odious laws. The measure, in its
character and scope, has an object
without precedent or authority. It is
palpably in conflict with the Constitu
tion, and destructive ot blood-bought I
liberty. Ti e power given to a Briga- j
dier General is that of an absolute )•
monarch. llis will is law. He do* j
termines the rights of person and pro- ’
porty, disposes of lands and goods !
within his district and makes his own j
criminal code. Everything is crimi
nal which he denominates crime.-—>
Every person is guilty whom he con.
detnns. He keeps no record, need 1
make no report, can break up courts, 1
asid make judges and jurors criminals.
His military court is of his own ma- j
king, of officers from among his sub*
ordinates. Instead of mitigating
harshness, the single rule in s tch
courts would divide the responsibility, 1
making it more cruel end unjust.. — I
Several provisions dictated by humani
ty, and introduced into the Bilbto res
train oflicers, are inoperative. Each
officer may define cruelty according to
his own temper. Gag, lash, ball and
■chain lie within his.choice.
The military commander, under the
•provisions of the bill, may condemn to
death without tripl, thu# avoiding the
Executive sanction. The authority
given that officer amounts to absolute
despotism, aggravated by Ihe power to
delegate despotism to bis subordinates,
the bill declaring that he slnil'l “pun
ish or cause to be punished.” This
power has been denied to Etigli:-li
Kines for five hundred years. In all
that time, people speaking the English
language have borne no such servitude.
It reduces the population of ten States,
regardless of sex, color, or condition,
and strangers within their limits, to
abject, degrading slavery.
It may be answered that officers arc
just and humane. Doubtless they are
equally go with other classes, but the
history of the world is written in vain,
if it fails to show the danger of unres
trained authority. It, is, almost iu
varibly. tyrannical when the ruler is a
stranger appointed by an unfriendly
power. It, was tried in Hungary and
Poland, resulting in sufferings that
aroused the sympathy of the world. —
In Ireland, though tempered by the
principles of English law, it legat in
dignantly denounced cruelties. The
French Convention, aiming deputies
with similar powers, sent them to the
departments, and massacres, murders
and atrocities followed. An irresponsi,
ble deputy never yields what the law
does not extort. Have wo the power
to establi.-h and carry such a measure
into execution ? Certainly net, do
riving authority from the Constitution
or acknowledging its limitations..
The remainder of the message oon
sists in elaborate constitutional argu*
ments, embracing copious extracts.
The Speaker ruled that two-thirds
could suspend the rules, thus render
ing fillibustcring out of the question.
The bill then passed by a vote of 135
yens to 47 nays.— Exchange.
Ohio Too! —On the 2Cth n’t. a
resolution introduced into the House
of Representatives of the Ohio Legis
lature, proposing to amend tiie State
Constitution so as to strike out the
word ‘‘white" (and allow the negroes
to vote) was defeated by a vote of lit*
yeas to 50 nays ! And yet the llcpres
resentatives from that State in Con.
gress voted almost in a body to give the
right of suffrage to negtoes in other
States than their own They are de
termined'that they shall vote in the
. South, but not in Ohio. IVe believe,
too, that the laws of Hidfaim (another
furious radical State) prohibit negroes
from even going there from other States
to live. One reason for this inconsis
tency is, that the Southern radicals
are so clamorous for negro votes to
give them offiees in fho Southern
States. The salvation of the country
depends on their having the offices !
The Iron Bar. —Here is a good
lesson from an iron bar. We find it in
another paper. Read it, boys.
“A bar of iron worth five dollars,*
worked into horseshoes, is worth ten
and a half; made into needless, it is
worth 8355; made into penknife blades,
it is worth $3,235 ; made into balance
springs of watches, it is worth 8250,-
000.
What a drilling the 'poor bar must
undergo to reach all that; but ham
mered and beaten and poutlded and
rolled and polished, how was its value
increased. It might well have quiver
ed and eomplaincd under the hard
knocks it got; but Were they not all
Weessary to draw out its fine qualities,
#nd fit it for higher offices !
And so, my children, all the drilling
and training which yon are subject to
in youth, and which often seem so
hard to you, serve to bripg out your
nobler and finer qualities, and fit yeu
for more responsible postsand greater
usefulness in the world,”

EXPLANATION.
In publishing in our last issue the
Preamble and Resolutions ol the meet
ing, held in Thomasville, on Saturday,
wfe also published the -dissenting
reasons, offered by Col- S. Foucbe, as
a substitute, hut which was rejected.
By oversight this substitute was pub
lished in rur last issue without head
or explanation, following immediati ly
after the Resolutions adopted by the
meeting. Those who read the entire
article on the subject of the meeting,
will understand now, how the later
part so entirely differs from the first
part. The latter part of the article is
Col. S. Fouche’s substitute,.which the
meeting rejected. We regret that the
mistake occurred, but it cannot now
he remedied. We gave no attention
whatever to the proceedings, suppos
ing the Chairman and Secretary would
add all that was necessary.

eommended by Gov. Brown, were

The meeting then divided, arid the

The majority then reorganized ami j

They declare that the Sontbcru peo

[FOP. TIHS ENTRRPBISE ]
NECESSITY FOR IMPORTING
LABORERS.
Mb. Editor :—The letter of Mr.
G. W. Gurmany, of Savanuah, disela
-1 ses a movement that tlie people of
Georgia and the citizens of all the
Southern States should encourage, be
cause short experience and long ac*
quaintance wi h the negro ami his
character, has convinced us that, as a
laborer, he is not as reliable as tlie
white man. The doctrine lots been
advanced by the wisest statesmen ot
the country, as a political mo£e, that
the negro was better adapted as a la
borer to the Southern climate than the
white man, on account of bis oonstuu*
tii n. I grant, that physically he is
capable cf enduring more, especially
upon the Kite plantations, and all
farms bordering upon the seaboard,
because he possesses a thick* bluet
spongy skin, that will resist tlie heat,
and great muscular power besides, and
a temperament that is not so subject
to bilious diseases. But notwithstand
ing these advantages over his white
competitors, he is indolent and lack
ing in energy—the race being gener
ally ol a slothjul disposition. Obser
vation has taught ns that the mulat
toes are generally the most active, in
telligent and energetic among them,
and that they make the best qjpehun- !
ics and most industrious men—-ijiat is
en account of tin: white blood tluq
flows through their veins, having in
herited, tj some extent, the nerve ol ;
a superior race. It is exceptionji of
this kind, to wli eh the*'Radical* al
lode, in speaking of the rapid advance
ment they have made in knowledge I
and trade. We grant ami know*ti nt
the negroes in America are superior
to any others of the same racism the
world, and that tlw-y bare yiade emu- *
paratively rapid advancement in chris* 1
tianity and understanding, since they
have been imported fniawAfrica -and
bff light in cantatft with civilization,
but they are not equal to the white
ma*, in energy and industry,
and never will he, if wo snusl jin.Tge
the future by the past, because liistory
shows that the tvh«e rums arc -the
most persevering* and'fnuWgentJ that
the world has ever produced, and that
they lmvo governed the earth Jimuthu
time it has been inhabited. NnttTtth'-
Htffndhig the nogi* Is physically strong,
or, and capaWe of emluiitig mot* in
the South, in certain localities, than
the white mam on (recount of his indo
lence,. the hitter possessing more en
ergy, will surpass him iu accomplish,
ing the same amount of labor in the
same time. What advantage then
has adaptation and power, if it is not
properly directed '( Siwee the libera■
tion of tlio negro he cannot lie emi*
trolled, aipl indolence needs something
else besides precepts anil example, to
■ stimulate it to action.
; Another reason why ibis move should
j he encouraged is, u want of move hn
i borers to develope the resources of the
South. Many of the largest and best
plantations are rapidly going to waste,
itir the want of vulture, and the in
quit'/ naturally arises, what Inis t>><
come oj the laborers w!iq formerly cn]-*
tivht.i and tlvcse‘!’iri»s '( Many hi thegi
were armed and rneofirnged to'pitla’go
and destroy the plantations, and cut
the tjinmts of their own twisters, dur
ing the ; consi quontly, since the
siirremior, on account of ilgur iniqni*
lions eondflet, those who were pot kill
ed, or did not. die from disease, It .ve
been afraid or ashamed, ! cannot tell 1
which, perhaps both, to return to their |
native land. Some have been colon- !
ized in* Florida, a huge number have i
been shipped from |Jie eouytr,, sulne
to Liberia, others to Cuba ami South
America, aid among those that it- !
ma tied at home, in,'my ol’ them path
creiLin and around the principle cities
and towns of .tlie*H,m/ii, whoro, not a i
few died from disease and pestilence, |
and the remainder prefer it scums, to
reside at those places, half starved, in
idleness, rather than cultivate the ;
farina of their former masters. It is j
thus tho South has boen deprived of j
her laborers, and lienee the necessity j
for the Importation of others, to till up
tlie vacuum.
•Another reason why this move should
Ijo encouraged is, the* negroes of the
South, ns a general thing, like tlie Ca- ,
munches and other tribes among the ]
aborigines of the West, look upon 1 1 1 v .
white man as their natural ciiunu/, and
but for their slavish fears, like the
('tiniiini'hes. they would soon be extol''
minuted. The truth is mighty, ills
said, and will prevail, and we migHt
#s weil publish it, as to attempt to
conceal it. The Radicals in process
of time will be compelled to admit, this *
truth, though the doctrines of their
party at present, trios vs their eyes
against it. Two races then, so ante- :
gonistie in feeling, cnhtiet dwll to
gether in peace and harmony, under
any government, unless one will re
main in subjection to the other. Th*s
negro while lie wnfl a slave
greatly, ami made rapid strides in eie
ili/.at oft, but since his liberation, the ,
race is rapidly passing irwtiv, notwith
standing the Radicals by their legis
lation, are seeking to protect ami ele
vate Vun upon terms of equality, when
ho is not. capable of sueh equal.ty.with
the more advanced races The pro
tection which they off't a will result in
his overthrow and degradation, which
time will prove; but the Ra Reals will
never admit it—they will not believe,
the truth, however plain it may be !
written upon passiifg events. \\ edo
not object to elevating the negro. We
regret that he ij not mere into ligCut
and industrious, for these traits mu-t
be engrafted into Iris character, before
he can be benefitted by the teims pro
posed, or before be it ill be a reliable
free laborer upon Southern farms.
Another reason still, is this:—So
long us the agriculturists of the South
continue to employ negroes to work
their farms, instead of importing whites ‘
from the North and Euro;e, the Radi. |
cals, on account of tlieir gnat love, for
the race, will'insist upon the right to
| proteat them in person and proparty,
sand t« do that, military rule must con
tinue, every County must have its
Agent, and the rebels will be greatly
annoyed by those Aa r vn ‘s, who must |
make a slmiv of authority, by inter. |

you plaop,your hands upon the blacks,
ttioy are precious in <be oyes of the
masters of the world, and must not be
touched. The N rth owes her great,
ness, as an agricultural people, to the
importation of labor from Europe The
South can profit by her example and
imp rt laborers, both from Europe anil
the North, and it only remains to be
seen, whether her people will make
themselves independent of all other
:sc<fliiH*s, by applyi 'g the means 'ne
