Tht hoge ever wreaths with* the fairest - gowers; There are friendships guileles--love. an, bright. - Andture as the stars ii halls of night.

ITf. on the other hand, it be found that theyroper. ty is liable to confiscation, even then it cannot be uppropriated to the public pusposes until, by due process of law, it shall have boen declared forfeited to the Government. There is still further ob. iection to .the bill on grounds seriously affecting the class ot pbrsons to whom it is designed to brin relief ; it will tend to keep the mind lf the. freedmen in a state of uncertain expectation and rest. lesshess, while to those among whom he lives it will be a source of constant nd vague apprehoision. Undoubtedly the freedmen should be protected, but ho should be protected by the civil authoities, especially by the exercise of ill the const.itutional powers of the courta of the United States and of the Stktes. His condition is not.so exposed as may at first b'e imagineft. He is in A portion of the country where hi labor cannot well bePpared. Con. petition for his sur%ices from planters, thoso Who are constructing or repairing railrinds, and from capi%lists in his vic. ihagtt or from 'other Stat's, will enable 1im to command almost, his own-terms. 116 P r,0004LO.- Cat . ciffangd his place of abod~e, aulrr, here. Wfre, he does not-find in one community r State i mode of life. suited to his de. r, or proper remuneration for his la bor* he n move to anothor where that laboris o steemed and bettr reward. ed. In tAh, however, each State, in duced by its own wants and interests, willdo what is necessary and proper to retain withi its bordess all of the labor that i4needed for the development of its resources. The laws that regulate1 sup. ply and demand will mainta'in 'their force, and the wages of t labgrer will be regulated thereby. The is no danger that the exceeding ly great demand for labor wjll not,oper ate in favor of the laborer, neither iq suflicient consideration given to the ability of the -freedmen to protect and take care of themselves. . Iis no more' than justice to thom to believe that as they have received their freedom with moderation atid forbearance, so they will distinguish theniselves by their industry and thrift., and soon show thb world that in a condition of freedom they are selr sustaining, cpable of 'selecting their own employment and their own places of abode, &f insisting for themselves on a pr6per remuneration, and of establish' ibg and maintaining their own asyltils Aid schools. It is earrestly hoped stt ifstead of wasting away they will, Yy theifbwn effortfestablish for thenees 4condition of respectability an1 s8 p6rity.: It. is certain that they at tain to'that condition only throug heir *1n merito and exertions.

The origiasl act was necessa rily, nassed io, the.

Al tire tIn",.:hoW%*er. of the consider. 'on and passing of#his bill. there was no epator, or Re sentativ in Con. 90Iu a 4 4 States which are to be mainly affed. by its provisions. The very fact that rqports were and are blade against i.he go4d disposition of the country is tin addtional reason why tiley noo 'anpd STIould have representa. tives of their own in Congress to explain their condition, reply to 'aceisations, and assist by their local knowledge in the perfecting of niessures immediately aff(cting 'themselves While -the lib. erty of deliberation would then be free, and Congress wpuld have full pow. er to .decide accordink to its judgoment, there could be no objoction irged that.the 6tates most interested had not beerf per. permitted to be heqrd. . The principle is firmly fixed in the-minIs of'the Ameri. can people that there should be no taxa tion without - representation. Great burdens have now to be borne by all the country, and we may best demand that they shall be.-borne without mur mur when they are voted by a majority of the representatives of all the people. .1 would iot. interfere with the unques. tionable right~of Congress to judge eacl Honse for itself of tho election returns and gualifications of its own members. but Lt. *tauthority cannot be constru(ed as ilnc,ding the right toll shut out in time of penc any State from representation to %yhich it is entitled by the Constiti Lion. At present.all the people of eleven States are excluded-o w were m1lost faithfulod"riu' the war not less than others. T!h off ennessee,. in rebellion, was restored to all her con stitutional relations to the Union by the patriotism and energy of her injured and hetrayed people helore the war was 'brought t a termination. They had placed themselves in relations with the General Government, had established a State Goverinent of their own, and as they were not inclided in the Emancipa. tion Proclamation, they, by their own act, had amended their Constitution so as to abolish slavery within the limits 6( their Stati, I knowv no reason why the State of Tennessee, for example, should not fully enjoy all her constitutional re latious to the United States.' The PresiiN'nt qf the'United States stands towards the country in a some what diAerent attitude from that of any member of Congress who is chosen from a single district or State. The Presi. dent is chosen by the people of all the States: Eleven States are vot at this time represented in eith'er branch of Congress.. It- would seem to be his duty, on all proper occasions, to present their just claims tCongress. TWra always will lie differctieso opiniorMi he com. mnunity, and individuals may be guilty of tnmsgressions 'of the law ; but these do not constitute valid objections~against ,he rights of a State to .representation. I i'vould in no wise interfere with the iscretion of Congress with regard to he iuallficationq of members, but- I holi it ny duty to recommend' to you, in the nterests of peace an&he interests of the Jnion, the admission' of every State to ts share in public legislation when, how. ver insubordinate, insurgent or rebel.. aus its people may .have been, it' pre eats itself not only in an attiti'de ofloy. Ity and'harmony, but in the persons of presentatives whose loyalty caninot be nest oned under any existing constitu onal or legal test It is plain that an idefinite or permanent exclusion of any rart of the counntry from representhtion lnst be attended by a spirit of disquiet* id complaint.. It is unwise and dangerouis to pu:rsu:e course of measnres which will unite a ~ry large section of thme country against oether section of the country, however uch the latter may preponderate. The urse of emigration, the developmenc' industry and.- business and natural uses, will raise up at the South men devoted to the Ucion as those of any. her pa.rt of the lani. - But if they are excluded from Congress; if in a~ per. , at- statute.-they are declared not to i in full constitutional relationb to the 14 ntry,.they may'think they have cause becomo a unit ina feeling and soeti. I mei against the Geverninent. Under the political education of the American people the idea is inherent' and- ineradi. W..i that the ccneent of the-th--jority, of the whole people it necessary to secure a willing acquiescencd in legislation. The bill -idar consideraton'refers to Certain o, the States as' though they had not "been fully vested in all their onstitu tional relations to the United States." If they haveanot, let~ us at once act to. gether to secure that desirable end at the earliest. possible moment. It is hardly necessary for,me to inform Congress that, in niy 'own judgsent, most. of those States, so far at least as depends upon their own action, have al. ready been fully restored, andare to be deemed as entitled to enjoy their Con. stitltional rights as members Of the 1uiou.. Reasoning from the Constitu tion itself, and from the actual situation of the country, I feel not only entitled, but bound to assume, that with-the Fede. ral Courts restoted, and those of the severald-ates in tie full exercise of their functions, the rights and Interents of all classes of the people will, with the aid of the military in cases of resistance'to the law, he essentially proteted against Constitutional infringement and viola' tion. Should this expecta t'nhappily fail, which I do not anticip then the Ix. ecutive iq already fuly ied with the power conferred by the act of March,. 1865, establishing the Freedmen's Bit. .reau, and hereafter, as heretofore, lie can employ theland and naval forces of the country to suppress insurTection4 or to overcome obstructions to thp laws -In accordance with the Constitution, I return the bill to the Senate, in tho earnest hope that a measue involving questions an4 interests 'so. important to the country, will not become a law un le:s upon. delberte cnsideration by the people it shall receive'the sanction of an enlialtened public judgment.

EXTRAORDINAnY ScENE IN A LIoN'S DEN.-The Gallinani says: A strange incident connected with the wild besta now-being exhibited at the CirqV6r Na. poleon took place tly evenilg before last.- Just as the men overepabout to push forward the huge cage from'the dtable into the circle they perceiv that; one of the lionesses had given bit# to a cub Batty was finishing hf toilette and the public had become impatient, but the essentiq] was to savethe youing one for the'lioAs Ivere preparing, as is their habit when in'conflnement. to sieze on her young one and devour it.

Cries fram the crowd to cease the p6rforrrance arose on all sides, and M D.jeA*n,'the director, in order to pro. vent the possibility .of danger, ordered Batty to withdraw from the cage, This lie did, aftel having spanaged to .save the little animnal that had just seen tehe light.
