HISTORIC TRUTHS.
As agitators are to be pul down in the cou.
eulship of Andrew Johnson, we think the
best way to weaken their present influence
and mouthing is to demonstrate, beyond'a
parable, the utter shallowness of their convic
tions and, that once established, the people
will be chary of pinning their faith to weather
cocks. The argumentum ad hominem is the
easiest and most effectual way to put a stop
per upon such v iporings, and, with such a
weapon used in the interest of the Chief Mag
istrate, we propose to give certain disorgan
isers the benefit of quotations which indicate
the superficial 'quality of their brains and
souls.
Let us begin with Mr. Bancroft. In his
recent eulogy of the late President, he spoke
derisively of Mr. Buchanan’s theory of State
6roverument, alluding to it in this wise :
“He (Buchanan) maintained that no State
might secede at its sovereign will and pleasure
—that the Union was meant for perpetuity ;
and that Congress might attempt to preserve,
but only by conciliation ; that ‘the sword was
not placed in their hands to preserve it by
force that ‘the last desperate remedy of a
despairing people’ would be an explanatory
amendment ‘recognising the decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States.’ The Ameri
cau Union be called ‘a confederacy’ of Stales,
and he thought it a duty to make the appeal
for the amendment ‘before any of these States
.should separate ihemeelves from the Union.’’
.No one would suppose that the man who
sneers At and cudgels this doctrine in 1866
was profoundly convinced of its truth in 1861.
Yet so it is The “great historian,” in a con
versation with Mr. Russell, of the London
Times was even more emphatic than Mr.
Buchanan. In Mr. R’s diary the following
language is ascribed to Mr. Bancroft:
“Mr Bancroft conversed for some time on the
aspect of affairs, but he appeared to be unable
to arrive at any settled conclusion, except that
the Republic, though in danger, was the most
stable and beneficial form of government in the
world, and that as a government it had no
power to coerce the people of the South or to
save itself from the danger. I was indeed as
tonished to hear from him and others so much
philosophic abstract reasoning as to the righi
of seceding, or what is next to it, the want of
Any power in the government to preveut it.”
And, on a subsequent occasion, at a dinner
party, w'fi have Mr. Bancroft again. Mr.
Russell says ;
“Among the guests were the Hon Horatio
Seymour, a former Governor of the State of
New York ; Mr. Tylden, an acute lawyer, and
Mr. Bancroft; the result left on my mind by
their conversations and arguments was that,
according to the Constitution, the government
could not employ force to prevent secession, or
to compel St .tes which had seceded, by the
will of the people, to acknowledge the Federal
power. In fact, them, the Feder
al government was the mere machine put for
ward by a Society of Sovereign Btates as a com
mon instrument for certain ministerial acts,
more particularly those which affected the ex
ternal relations of the Confederation.’’
* o o a *
“There was not a man who maintained the
government had any power to coerce the peo
ple of a State, or to force a Btate to remain in
the Union or under the action of the Federa’
government—in other words, the symbol o'
power at Washington is not at all analogous
to that which represents an established gov
ernment in other countries.’’
So much for Mr. Bancroft.
The record bf Gen Dix is hardly as consis
tent. About a month since, he was feasted
by the New York Seventh Regiment and
made a post-prandial speech. He was very
hard upon the.South and its principles, but
particularly acriAonious about slavery, He
tnltf] fliA u trn\)ant • “Wnmon
slavery is always calamitous to those who
maintain it”—that “the justice of God is sure
to manifest itself in some form of retribution
against the injustice of man, even though it
be through the slow operation of nature'
causes”—and that ‘‘slavery with us has per
ished through the insensate attempt of the
masters to extend and perpetuate it by de
stroying their own Government.”
Tell it not In Gath, pnbl'sh it not in the
streets of Askalon that General Dix, just
five days before the secession ordinance passed
the South Carolina Convention, as Chairman
of a mass meeting at New York, drafted the
following resolutions :
“Resolved. That the delivery of fugitive
slaves to their masters is an obligation enjoin
ed by the Constitution, in which all good citi
zens aro bound to acquiesce, and that all laws'
passed by the States with a view to embarrass
or obstruct the execution of the Act of Congress
making provision therefor should be promptly
repealed.
“Resolved, That the territories of the Uni
ted States are the common property of the
people thereof; that the/ are, and of right
ought to be, open to the free immigration of the
people of all theStatos. with their families and
with whatever ia the suhject of personal own
ersbip under the laws of the States from which
they emigrated ; that the relation of master
and slave cannot, during the territorial con
dition, bo rightfully disturbed by Federal or
local legislation ; and that the people of any
suck territorv can only dispose of the question
of slavery, in connection with their own politi
cal organization, when they form a constitution
with n view to their admission into the Union
as a State.
“Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to up
hold these principles by all the means in our
power; to seek by all practicable efforts a re
dress of the wrongs of which the Southern
States justly complain, and to maintain their
equality under the Constitution in the full en
joyment of all the rights and privileges it con
fers.
“Resolved, That while we deplore the exist -
ing excitement in the Southern States, we do
not hesitate to say that there is just ground for
it. But we earnestly entreat our Southern
brethren to abstain from hasty and inconsider
ate action, that time may be afforded for bring
ing about a reconciliation of existing differ
* cnees, and that the Union of the States—a
source of our prosperity and power—may be
preserved and perpetuated by a restoration of
public harmony and mutual confidence.’’
We are rather of the opinion that this will
answer tor General Dix’s fixed principles.
JLast, but not least, behold the Hon. Charles
Sumne. r (publicly branded as a traitor by the
President) in the delectable employment of
blowing hot And cold. Quotations are not
necessary to prove his infidelity to the Con
stitution, the laws and tbs wisdom of our an
cestors. His late speech in opposition to all
these will read curiously in juxtaposition with
the subjoined letter to a Baltimore firm in
1861 :
_ , Senate Chamber. )
17 th January, 1861. )
Gentlemen —l have been honored by your
communication, dated 16th January, in which
you ask me “lo endorse the Crittenden resolu
tions.
I suppose that you have never read those
resolutions. If you look at them you will see
that tboy promise to plant sectionalism in the
Constitution —to exalt a discarded parly dogma
into a principle of constitutional law —to annul
the explicit verdict of the people—and to violate
the lessons we have received from Washing
ton Jefferson and Franklin. Os course such
propositions are offensive to everybody who
truly loves the Constitution ae it was handed
down by our Fathers-
It only remains that men who really love the
Unipn should determine to stand by the Con
stitution as it is, without attempting to patch it
over with propositions which the Fathers of
our country would bare scorned.
The duty of the patriot is clear ; and I am
glad that there can be no doubt about it.
Faithfully yours, OhaklU Bumbbr.
We have collated enough to show, as plainly
as the cose on a man’s face, that the Radical
chiefs are not to be trusted even on the line
of consistency. Yet these are the men that
, propese to battle with the President. We do
not wonder that he has planted his foot firmly
opon their necks. Jt#n who assume the pro
phetic tone of history or statesmanship would
•do well to maintain their creed for at least five
>< are, or history m ty tell the m certain truths
not palatable to a daintier muse.
Shall the South be called disloyal and vin
dictive if she listen yith abhorrence to such
time-servers as these ? No true man of any
section will assert it. But very recreant will
she be, if she does not strengthen the bands of
the man who thus spoke beneath a February
sun that ushered in the birthday of Washing
ton : *
“We are in a great struggle. lam your in
strument. Who is there that I have not toiled
and labored for t Where is the man or woman
either, in public or private life, who has not

and I believe they will not desert me. What

' Mr. Johnson’s Veto.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
We herewith append a few comments upon
Mr. Johnson's veto of the Freedmen’s Bureau
Bill, taken from papers of oppos : te ways of
t.linking :
[From the New York Tribune ]
**»* . * *
Yet the President has vetoed the bill provi
ding for the continuance and greater effici
ency of this Bureau. We deeply regret this;
and we think he will live to regret it even
more keenly. For this veto will he under
stood by all that is brutal and ruffianly at
ihe South as giving license to any abuse and
oppression of the blacks that white maligni
ty and rancorous hate can devise It will be
understood as a proclamation of license to the
meaner whites to wreak their malice or their
'.U3t upon the hapless and betrayed blacks.
******
Vlr. Johnson has made a grave mistake
lls has relieved those who elected him of a
■treat responsibility by akiog it on his own
boulders. Hereafter, whatever wrongs may
be inflicted upon or indignities suffered by
ihe Southern blacks, will be charged to the
President, who has left them naked to their
enemies. Time will show that he has there
by precluded a true and spe< dy restoration of
ihe South, and inflicted more lasting misery on
her whites than on her blacks.
[From the National Intelligencer.]
One of the gravest measures which ever pass
ed both Houses of Congress has been vetoed
by the President of theUnPed States in a mes
sage so sober, so dispassionate, so persuasive,
and so powerful, that only a person of singu
lar hardihood could dissent from its positions
nr til after the most conscientious, patient and
serious reflection In these times of tumultu
ous debateand exhorbitant doctrine ; of bitter
recriminations, unreasonable exactions, and
intolerant opinions ; of anxious uncertainties,
morbid sentiments and bad passions—a com
munication calmly and clearly expounding a
urreat quesiion, in the light and under the au.
thority of established and mandatory principles
of constitutional liberty and tte common law,
coming from the high official who, from his
neculiar situation, is bourn! to emancipate
himself from every prejudice of party, of pas
sion, or of locality, 18 a boon to the people.—
No state paper could be more conclusive in ar
gument upon the premises assumed.
[From the New York Times ]
In no essential point is the President at vari
ance either with the majority in Congress or
with the country—so far as the claims of the
freed men are concerned. He seeks to reach the
end aimed at in the vetoed bill by other, and—
what he deems—less radical agencies
[From the Philadelphia Age ]
As the veto mesaage contains a distinct and
emphatic enunciation of the President’s policy
upon the subject of reconstruction, it will be
read with intense interest by the American
people. That it wiH exercise a powerful in
fluence in the future shaping of parties, there
is not the slightest doubt; and, unless we are
greatly deceived, it will receive the unqualified
i sanction of those who look with earnest long--
• ing for that peaceful restoration which will
open lo the Union a now path of glory and
'prosperity. -
[From the World, Democrat.]
*.**•* * . Greater interest is felt in the
efficiency of this particular veto from the fact
I that, if successful, it will form a turning point
in the policy ofthe government. In any event,
it will prove a decisive test of the power of the
President to arrest unconstitutional legislation.
i The Republican Senators who break loose from
the'President that they may be relied on to
i support him hereafter. If this veto is sustained
it is demonstrated that Congress is powerlofs
lo interfere unconstitutionally with the rights
of the States and debrive them of the control of
their own affairs Tt may continue to refuse
seats lo their representatives, but the Repub
lican party will thereby gain no practical ad
vantage, since it can give effect to none of its
favorite measures /
O 9 * * * *
The greatest act of General Jackson’s life
was a veto, and President Johnson has shown
an honest intrepidity that is truly Jacksonian,
sod will be equally sustained by the peoplo
when they come to understand the true merit 8
of the question.
[From the New York News.]
No act of the President has gratified us so
much. None lias given us 60 much confidence
in his patriotism and integrity. None has in
clined us to trust ao hopefully to his wisdom
and his statesmanship to guide the couutry
safely through the dangers with which the
madness of the Radicals stjll surround it. At
one bound he has risen to the height of his
great opportunity, and demonstrated bis devo
tion to the Constitution, and to .those great
principles of government which lie enunciated
so distinctly in his Annual Message, and which
ho so strikingly reiterated in his interview with
the Virginia delegation but % few days ago.
He does not return the bill on account of
any trifling objections to its details, but be
cause it is essentially unconstitutional, unneces
sary, impolite, dangerous to ilie liberties o (
the people, ruinous to the freedmen, and unjust
to the people of the South.
No part of the messaee deserves or will at
tract more attention than that in which the
Piesident declares that the rebellion being at
an end, and the Southern States having done
all that they could, to re-establish their rela
tions to the United Stales, have been Already
fully restored, and that consequently he feels
it to be his duty to recommend to Congress “in
the interests of peace, and in the interests of
the Union, tho admission of every State to its
share of public legislation.’’
[From the New York Herald.]
The bill may be passed over the veto ; but
in any event the issue is at length made be
■ tween tbe Administration and the Radical fac
tion of Congress—between President Johnson
and Thaddeus Stevens—and there is no qther
alternative. The trap which it was hoped
would catch the President has failed. He takes
his position regardless of the apparent odds
against him. It will now be the game of the
i Radicals to “do without him,” and to weaken
him in every possible way. To this end we
are not surprised to bear that they are indus
triously Intriguing to win over Gen. Grant from
the Administration. We guess, however, that
General Grant will he able to take eare of
, himself. The issue is now upon the Freed
man's Bureau bill. IfiLigloet, the battle is
1 ended at once; but if the bill is passed over
’ 'be veto, the fight is just begun- As between
President Johnson and Thaddeus Stevens, we
cannot doubt the final victory, whatever may
be the course of tie present Congress, for the
country is with the Administration,
President Johnson's Veto op the Nroro
Bureau Bill. —The veto message of the Piesi
dent has met with the cardial approbation of
the press North and South. The New York
Herald says:
Prbttv Good for a White President. —We
hope that those Radical editors who recently
declared that President Johnson was inferior
n intellectual capacity to a negro will have
the grace to admit that his veto message is
pretty good for a white President. They com
plained that they could find in his utterances
neither sense, logic nor coherency ; bnt they
aDd a « reat deal mow
besides in this admirable State paper. Clear,
°ndi C c?Ai ?“l emphatl ” *? lta style, dignified and
.udieial m its manner, irrefutably strong In its
facts, utterly impregnable in its arguments,and
equally sound, convincing and constitutional
In its conclusions, this veto message will take
rank with the very ablest efforts of the most
accomplished minds, both as a literary produc
tion and as a t horough exposition of vital topics
of statesmanship. It expresses in a few columns
the views of the entire country in regard th the
great question of reconstruction and the proper
disposition of tbp freedmen. Perhaps the Radi
cals will think that Fred Douglass, “one of our
foremost citiaeos,” as Chase calls biip, or
Downing, who is a colored man of very posi
tive opinions, especially about oysters could
have written a better veto ; but still they must
candidly acknowledge that, on the whole, they
have been rather mistaken about Andrew
Johnson, and that his message is pretty good
for a white President.
Nine students have been dismissed from Be'ba
ny College, Virginia, lor giving a tin p«D conce-tJ

speech and extolled the colored man.
