the: president s veto .
ft is gratifying to sec that, notwith
standing the mighty inflnenoe of the
Radical party, their belligerent atti
tude and numerous threats, they have
not succeeded to intimidating, or forc
ing from hie line of policy, that
bold and fearless statesman—Andrew
Johnson. True to the principles he
has so long advocated, the President,
on the6th fast, returned to the Senate
a bill which was passed by that body
on the 13th nit; and by the House of
fiapresentatives on the 14th—entitled
“An act to regulate the elective iVan
chise In the District of Columbia,”
With his entire disapproval. Hourges
• his objections so forcibly, and proves
so conclusively that the provisions of
(fee Mil are at variance with the almost
'''Unanimous wishes of the citizens that
Congress attempts to force it upon,
that if there was in that body the least
particle of reason or patriotism, they
- must see the folly of their course, and
net in accordance. Upon this subject
be lavs: “The question was submitted
to the people at special elections, held
In the month of December, 18G5, When
the qualified voters of Washington and
Georgetown, with great unanimity of
; sentiment, expressed themselves oppo
.aed to the contemplated legislation.
Jo Washington in a vote of 655G, the
largest, with but two exceptions ever
polled In that city, only thirty-five bal
lots were cast for necro snftVairo while
| in Georgetown, in an aggregate of 813
[ Totes, a number considerably in ex
l C6« of the average vote at the four
t preceding annual elections, but one
i was given in favor of the proposed ex
; tension of the elective franchise. As
these elections seem to have been con
ducted with entire fairness, the result
' must be accepted as a truth A: l expres
• Sion of the opinion of the people of the
District upon the question which evok
, ed it.” Prom this extract it will be
jddaen that the President is determined
to consider the wishes of the people,
' and not of party, and let the voice of
, the people control him while acting as
■' the people's servant. He proceeds to
•rgne that the Congress occupies much
the same position regarding legisla
tion to the people of the District of
dOolumbia, as does a Legislature to the
people of the State for which they leg
islate, and says: “Were it admitted
that the right to exercise exclusive leg
islation in all cases whatsoever con
ferred ou Congress unlimited power
Within the tract of Columbia, titles of
nobility might be granted within its
boundaries, laws might be made res
pecting au establishment of the relig
ion or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof, or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press, or the right of
the people peaceably to assemble and
to petition the Government for a redress
of grievances. Despotism would pre
vail at the 6cat of Government of a
free republic, and as a place of perma
nent residence, it would be avoided by
all who prefer the blessings of liberty
to the mere emoluments of official po
sition.
*******
The spirit of our Constitution and
the genius of our Government require
that in regard to any law which is to
affect and have a permanent bearing
upon a people, their will should exact
at least a reasonable influence upon
those who are acting in the capacity ot
their legislators.” Proceeding to dis
Si, a f.inelhiKti* a t' noirt'A ciiffnaocA iv
ft sound and Democratic manner, he
•ays: ‘'The exercise of the elective
franchise is the highest attribute of an
American citizen, and when guided by
virtue, intelligence, patriotism and a
proper appreciation of our institutions,
constitutes the true basis of a Demo
- cratic form of government in which
the sovereign power is lodged in the
bod of the people. Its influence for
good necessarily depends upon the el
evated character and patriotism, of the
elector, for if exercised by persons
who do not justly estimate its value,
and.who are indifferent as to its re
sults, it will only serve as a means ot
placing power in the hands of the un
principled and ambitious, and must
eventuate in the complete destruction
5 of that liberty which should be the
most powerful conservator. Great
danger is therefore to be apprehended
from an untimely extension of the
elective franchise to any new class in
our country, especially when the large
[ majority of that class, in wielding the
power thus placed in their hands can
not be expected correctly to compre
hend the duties aud responsibilities
which pertain to suffrage. Yesterday,
as it were, four millions of persons
were held in a condition of slavery that
had existed for generations; to-day
they are freed men, and are assumed by
iftW be citizen^ It cannot be pie
•timed from their previous couditior
of servitude, that ns a class they are a:
Wfll informed as to the nature of om
©overument as the intelligent foreign
•r who makes our laud the home of hi:
choice. In the ease of the latter, nei
ther a residence of five years and tin
knowledge of our institutions which i
gives, nor attachment to the principle:
of the constitution, arc the only coudi
tlons upon which he can be adrnittec
to citizenship. He must prove, in ad
ditiou, a good moral character, :uu
thus give reasonable ground for the be
U«f that h> will be faithful to the obli
fit ions wit.in iie n>8u.uvi .i» i .i...
o f the republic.”
Thus doc# be openly rebuke ttmf
spirit of blind fanaticism which wonld
confer this first, best right of freemen.,
upon a class who hare not yet attained
to intellecfm' infancy, and refuse ;t to
mother until the highest, demands ar
complied With, Tie closeR this admir
able paner w?tb the following fan
sruage: ‘1 yield to no ono in . attach
ment to that role of general suffrage
which distinguishes onr policy os a
nation : hut there is a limit, wisely ob
served hitherto, which makes the bal
lot. n privilege and a trust, and whir’
requires of some classes a time suitebb
ror probation and preparation. To
*’rivo it indiserimin-'t'>ly to anew efa«s
wholly unprepared by previous habits
and opportunities to perform the trus<
which it demands, is to degrade it and
finally destroy its power#; for it may
be safely assumed that no political
truth is better established than that
sneb Indiscriminate and all-embracing
extension of popular suffrage must end
at last in its destruction.” Thus it will
be seen that we have in the Presiden
tial chair a man who dares do right,
and who will act in accordance with
his conceptions of right, despite the
frowns of fanaticism or the threats of
Radical negro worshipers. We hon
estly hope that he may continue firm,
opposing wrong, and maintaining the
supremacy of the Constitution until a
persistence in right shall bring its own
reward—that he may in time see the
law-making power in the hands of a
party who will do justice to all.
g®“ "With a due degree of modesty,
and fully appreciating the liberal sup
port that has been conferred upon us, ;
we would remind our friends and the
reading public, that we are now pub
lishing the cheapest family newspaper
iu the State. Wo do not lay claim to a
mum ov luiuvtttfu, as some, nor nave
we the effrontery, unaided bv patron
age or support, to name our paper
first class. Our endeavor lias been
and shall ever be to exert ourselves for1
the benefit of the people; to give them
a paper readable and instructive in all
its branches, and leave it for them to
estimate us according to our worth, i
It matters little what estimate a man!
puts upon himself or his undertaking ;'
it is the estimate of the people that;
gives him the place. If this be true,!
then we do not hesitate to say we are
publishing a first class paper. We
HAVE THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF
ant paper on White river, and out
advertising support is so liberal that
we are justified in reducing our sub
scription price to two dollars and fifty
cents per annum—always in advance.
In view of these facts, we call upon
j the citizens of this and the adjoining
j counties, to send in their names with
'the money, assuring them that they
: shall have a paper, in no way inferior
| to any published in the State.
| The Impeachment of the President.
The Jacobins have at last broken ground l
! on the subject of the impeachment of the I
j President. The subject was brought'
! formally before a caucus of their Congress-1
; uieu on Saturday night. Though no de-1
! ciaive result was arrived at, the prevailing
1 sentiment is reported to have been in fa
vor of the impeachment. There was con- ■
siderabled difference of opinion on the i
subject of the proper time 1or taking the i
action proposed. Some of the rumpers j
thinking that there will not be sufficient i
time for the trial during the remainder of l
the present sessiou, and that as the next!
Oougress will be still more radical than
I this, the dirty job cau be safely left to j
| them. Some of the Radicals were, how
ever, outspoken against any movement of
the sort, and did not think impeachment:
possible. We predict that it will be found
difficult to secure a sufficient number of!
.members to accomplish this iniquity
When the time comes for action the knees :
of many will give way. and the spinal col
; umns ot others will hccotnc assott as mush
Bold and reckless as the Jacobins arc
they will be very apt to pause and reflect
before they venture to declare this species
of warfare upon the President, and thus
arouse him to retaliatory action. They.
appear to have a very strong conviction
that when the President said that he was
ready for the issue, he meant something
i more than that he would hold out his arms
to be handcuffed, and that under the ex
asperation which au attempt to depose
him from his office would excite, he might
prove a lion in their path. They knew
that he would not be a passive victim and
fear that be might prove a dangerous foe
They are not exactly sure, either, that j
a movement would be sustained by the
people, and fear that in such an outrage
upon the Constitution they might find
themselves standing alone, in which event
their political doom would be sealed. We .
consider it tolerably safe to predict that;
no serious effort at the impeachment ot
tho President will he attempted at the
present session of Congress.—[Louisville '■

; his unabated confidence iu the final
i triumph of his restoration policy. He
