SECRKT AKV SE 4V 411 I’* Speech -ii-laiiiing the lreii.tleiit* Veto At the “reat Johnson meetine held in Cooper Institute, Now York'city, on the 2.2 J in-:.— . j Mr. Seward said, after a few words o-f introduction : Mr ha*, shall I speak nf or ah >nt ‘/ The call of your meet ing the subje ct, but first let rue say, that I am not here as an alar* mist. 1 am not here to say I hat. Ihe nation is in peril or danger—in peril it you adopt the opinions, in peril if you reject them, in peril if yju adop’ the views of the apparent or real majority of Congress, or if you reject them. It is not in peril any way, nor do I think that the Cause of liberty and hu man freedom, the cause of progress, melioration or civilization, the cause of national aggrandisement, present or future, material or moral, is in danger of being long arrested, whether you adopt one set of politic il opinions or an. other. The Union —that is to say, the nation —has been rescu and fn.ru all its perils, the noble ship has passed from tempests and billows into the verge of a sate harbor, and is now securely rid- 1 ing into her anchnt- moorings, will out a broken spar or a lc k, starboard, i or larboard, Tore or aft. There are j some small reel's yet to pass a-s she approaches those .moorings One pi lot says that she may safely enter I directly through them; the other 1 says that she must tack, and lowering j sail take time to go around tlu in. That’ is all the difference of opinion between ■ the pilots, and I should not practice | my habitual charity if l did not admit that 1 think them both sincere and honest. But the vessel wiii go in safe ly, one way-or the other. ’ ‘fhe worst that- need not happen-will •be that by’faking the wrong • instead of. the right pasJ'ig'C, or cven-tak-ing the right passage ana avoiding the wrong one, the vessel may rol-l a little, and some-honest, capable, or even tier serving political), titesuplil, President or Congressmen may get washe ! over hoard-. I should be sorry for this, l' u *- if it can not be helped, it can be borne It I am one of the unfortunates let no friend be concerned on that account. As honest, as good, as capable politi catis, statesmen, Congressmen arid Presidents will make their appearance hereafter taster than needed to’com*- maud the ship, as well and as wisely as any tiiat have heretofore stalked their hour upon the deck in the alternations of the calm and tempest tlnu always, attend political navigation. Nevertheless, although I do not • think we are in a crisis, the question to-day is worthy of deliberation exam ination and consideration. The sub ject before us is the difference of opin ion which reveals itself but too clearly between the President and Congress. The President, as we -til see, is a man of decided convictions. ‘lhe legi-da tive leaders are trying not to coincide with him in opinion 5 they have ap pealed to us outsiders, as’ it were, to pronounce between them. The speaker then ‘.vent on to prove that there was actual y no difference of importance between the President and 1 Congress, however much it might seem otherwise, lie said both have uot the Union restored as originally planned ; it should be without slavery, secession or compromise ; not with freedmen and j refugees abandoned to suffering and 1 O ‘ prosecution, but with freedmen em.-. ployed in productive, self-sustaining tndus ry ; with refugees under pr it c* tion law f.nd order. The Pro.- id on t I sees that it has come out at last, and he , accepts the situation. Congress, on the other band, hesi’ ta‘e, delay, debate and agoni/.e not bo i cause it has not come outright, but because they have not indivi aially had their own way in bringing it to that happy determination. I apprehend no serious difficulty from the conviction that ll ere never was and never can be any successful process for the res toration of union and harmony among the States except the one with which the President has avowed himself sat isfied. Grant that the rebellion is dispersed, ended and exhausted; —dead even, at the root—then it follows,"nee . * j essartaliy, that the States, sooner or ’ later, must be organized by loyal men. in accordance, with the change in o'm - ’ fundamental law, and resume their places in Congress. AT the rebel- States but Texas have don i just. that, thing, and Texas is doing-the same as fast us possible.. The President is in harmony with all the States that were in rebellion, and the Executive and Judicial de partments .are rapidly resuming their , functions Loyal representatives more or less, from these States, are standing, at the doors of -Congress, and have bes there for three months, asking to be admitted to'seats which 1 the disloyal representatives .had pre-. viously left. Meanwhile Congress passed law after law, imposes burthens, and duty after upon the States', which, against their earnest desire, are left unrepresented. I feel sure that loyal men from the now loyal States will sooner or later be admitted into this Congress or the next. When this is done, the process of restoration will be complete, for that is all that remains to be done. The speaker thought that territorial govs emments for the seceded States were’ perfectly impracticable; this was also rejected by Mr. Lincoln. Say you will, the States are already organs Tliomasville, Georgia, ’Wednesday. March 14, 1866. 7 m w* • * 7 / ized in perfect .harmony wi.th our amended National Constitution-, arid sre ia earnest co-operation w tli the Federal i foyernnietit.

One proposed amendment to tlie C m.-titution is to compel the exclu led States to equalize suffrage upon the penalty- of abridgment o£ rcp.-osi-nta ti< n. This was no plan of reconstruct ! tion, but an obstruction. The resolu tion which passed the House on Tuesi day last directly declares that, loyal lepreseafatives shall not be admitted from loyal States until Congress shall pass a law for that purpose, which law cannot be enacted without the lTesi- Jent’s approval, and which C.nuot be consistently gi.ven in view of opinions he is known to entertain. This recdlu* lion, then, is riot the plan for recon*- struction, hut for indefinite postpone- I moot and delay. • j - When the - rebellion began- we'deter mined. to humble the rebt Is, and’ have | huu bled them and brought them back ! with humiliation and . repentance, sa-'j ing for restoration. The popular voice ; ’ was that all members oi the family, j however prodigal they had been, would ! be received at the board. These efforts 1 at obstruction, then, afe as .impracti cable as I think they are vicious. No State can keep itself out of the Union, or keep itself in a territorial condition under the Union, • The States which are in the Union cannot be taken or kept out of its lirn its. The States that-are in the Union cannot keep any States'that are out sine from, coining iu Congress is ha bitually. inclined to this experiment. It hesitated about Michigan and Mis souri; reeled and staggered over Ten** ncssee arid California, and c.onvulsed the nation about Kansas. Yet they arc all iu. the Union, all happy, all loyal.

The joint committee of fifteen, in .1839, succeeded in excluding Califor nia eight months, until, a majority of the nation should cotyptomiso and si.- lence forever the debate upon slavery. The compromise was by its terms, to be perpetual. The compromise of 1850 lingered for four years and then perished, .giving place to the no w hap pily consummated adjustment of the slavery question by the complete Abr ogation of that institution. W hen 1 left Cuiigtess in 1861, com mittees and conventions demanded stipulations that fetters be put on New Mexico Nevada and Colofa o. • You can never keep States of this Un ion. Present distrusts of future States have no substantial grounds.. They are begotten of miserable fears and fac tions. It over this tiring ot keeping ou* States by joint resolutions of Congress could have had a change of peuna neqt success, that time has passed away. A. No State has ever been hiudered-in coining into the Union except on ques tion* of African bondage, which- has now gone to the dogs and is surely finished. .No State will ever herearfter be hindered in-coining into the Union I have deseiibed has anything alarm ing iu it. ‘ihe territory wants to be a State. 1 would not keep a State in teriitorial condition any longer than-* compelled.- ‘. * In beginning, practically, every State hud s|retfv < \\ e abolished it .in some States without any. disorder,and when slavery raised itself in opposition io the Government, we destroyed it altogeth er. . We have done ail this in ninety years, without’ inipeiial government or proconsular teiritorial system, but in equal Stales, prfis <ied over bv tederal • or restricted government. They are sett iing. the whole case of the Airicari iii the West Indies just as. we are. The conflict of opinion ‘between the President- ‘and.- Congress in reference to the Freeduicn’s Bureau, is in its consequences comparatively unimpor tant, and would excite little interest if it stood alone. Both agree that this bureau was created for the transition peril and be tween war and peace, and should cease at the ei dos that period. The Presi dent thinks that period nearly passed, and the original provision is sufficient, while (A ngress thinks the original pro vision needs enlarging. I agree with the President in the hope that the ex traordinary provision which the bill makes will not be necessary, but that the whole question may be simplified by simple reference to the existing law. The law of March 3, 1865, which created the Freedu en’s Bureau, pro® vides that it shall continue in force during the war of rebellion and one full year thereafter. When docs that \ear expire ?In he President’s judg ment, as I tin I< ;sr ind the matter, the war of reb< Hfon has been coming and ■ is. still coming to an end, but it is noi yet felly closed.

In that case the Freedmen’s Bnroau is continued by virtue of tire limitation prescribed in the act of March 3, 1865 one year after such proclamation shall have boon made. Thus the Freed- men’s Bureau would continue by the original limitation until the’22d day. ] .of February, .1867, a very proper day on which to bring, it to an end. If j Congress si ould find it necessary to | ; prolong its existence, it can at once j take the necessary, steps, for it will at that date have been in session nearly three months. Ought the President of the United States to be denounced in the house of bis enemies, much more ought he to be denounced the house of his j friends, for refusing, in* the absence of any necessity, to occupy or retain, and exercise powers greater than those which arc exercised by any imperial magistrate in the world. 1 trust this fault of declining, imperial powers too hastily tendered by a confidiog Con gress may be forgiven by a generous people. It will be a sad hour for the. Re. public when ilie refusal of unnecessary powers and patronage by the Pres ident shall be held to be a crime. When it shall be so considered, the time will have - arrived for setting at the White House an imperial throne, and surroun ling, the Executive with imperial legions.

BILL ARP. The Milledgi-ville correspondent of the New York News gives the follow - [ ing history of this humorist: • Among the celebrities present in our Legislature is the lion. G. 11. Smith, Bill Arp, so called I know not inu-ch of this original genius but on the authority of those who do know, I will say that he is descended from the congenial States of Massachu setts aud South Carolina, bis father be- I ing from the Bay State, and lus moth er a native of the City of Charleston, : There is nothing peculiar touch ng his paters al ancestors unless it be that lie , j adventured from the City of Boston in 1817 w th a cargo of brick, hound fur Savannah, and he had to throw them j overboard when in the -precincts - of that port, in order to save himself from an unpleasant wetting. The loss of ; his cargo was a death blow so his ! finances, and lie became a citizen of ! Georgia, as the lawyers say, “e.c necs j situti n The mother of the afore : said William was left aii orphan in Charleston —her parents being carried | off sudJenly by yellow fever She and her only brother were finally sep arated by a covetous’re la tion, one be.. J 1 ing sent to Savannah to the Orphan : Asylum,. and the other to Boston , 1 Being children of tender age, neither knew anything of wliat ‘disposition had been made of the other. .The sister was taken from the Asylum by Mrs. Gou-idinua mother of the celebra ted divine of that name,’ and the broth er was picked up, a pauper, in the .streets of Boston. . . ■ • • A special Providence seems to have overlooked thena both, for the sister was well cared for and educated, and [ the Brother taken charge of by a an estimable man, whose daughter lie ass forwards married. . Vain were their efforts to tino each other. Vain were the visits made to Charleston tcTfind a trace of their respective histories — t he sister had married arid the brother too,-and Bill Arp in h : s mischievous youth was old enough to scan tho “pile ters” in Webster’s Spelling Book when, his anxious mother made otie more effort to find some kindred blood. No father or mother, I rot her or sister, uncle or., aunt, no. a-necstr 1 friend;- not even an .'acquaintance off her infan cy did she know in the wide, wide world.’ To gratify her', a not'ec .was imojishel in the principal papers.of the U> itod State*, which, I am assur ed was in the following words ‘: CAROLINE AMS MAGUIRE, born .in Charleston in'the'year ISIO was asperated from an o;ily brother w f, u she was six ye.ars old. Her father wuS named francis, and mother’s name was‘tuary.

Smith.” As this little history is interestingly romantic, I will continue it to a result. Caroline’s brother had made repeat ed visits to his native city, but return ed sorrowful finding no traces ot his -ister. • He had exceedingly prosper** ed, and his friends and neighbors all. knew of bis.misfortune On Sabbath, while he was at church in the town of Randolph, his nearest neighbor was reclining on his couch, perusing the : Boston papers. Noticing the above advertisement, he bounced up from his repose, and in gown and slippers ran across the .street, to tell the glorious, news. Maguire was not at home. In his excite-up rit he hurried, into the church, ‘arid, while the minister was . dispensing the gospel truth, he rushed down the aisle, and exclaimed with glad emotion, “Maguire ! I've found your sister !’'• No pen can describe the scene; every member of the congrega tion and every citizep of the- little vil- ‘ Inge knew the afflicting hi-torv. The brother, overcome by the glad tidings rushed from the church a id at once started for Georgia, whore he soon ar rived, and soon embraced bis long lost sister—one of the most beautiful and interesting wornen in h r ’ neighbor hood, which character she bears to this day* Mr. Maguire was a candi-. date for Congress in 1863, on the Mc- Clellan ticket arid was defeated-. His eldest son (Bill’s cousin,) was appoin* ted consul, by President Baebanari, at Melbourne, Australia.; but was de>- posed by Mr. Lincoln, because be en tertained (’apt.

But to my friend William. I learn that he was a diligent and quiet stus dent in Franklin College, but did not graduate That on leaving College he soon married, wedding the daughter of Judge Hue bins psi *Geor da. W ll iaui then, at the urgent solicitation of the Judge, studied law a few days, t nd was admitted to the bar. He sc tied in Rome, Ga , having a3 his law part- ! ner, the Hon J. W. H.

Early in tlie war, he was [laced by General Bartow on his staff, and was afterward transferred to General G T. Anderson's Brigade. Bill says he did not do any fit on’ to hurt, but that on one or two occasions he was powerful ly exposed. It was during his con nection with the army that sciies of inimitable letters addressed to A. Link horn, but which Bill says was true then but uiut now.” On account of declin ing health he resigned his commis- sion, and returned home in’ time to be run off by the fowl invader, lie be came a Rome Runagee, aiid I am in formed don't think much of thobi%i> ness.
