The firbt two "hic.jns he committor for the present passes ith- I fi ".t remark. With regard to the tliii the p report says that the manner of the peal t, i\as in strict conformity to the Cohsli|*?e ind to the rules of the House, and j\f %d >y numerous precedents in 11 *?1 aTrn oV u L,,odor<' legislation.

It c not >o impmperherc- i ore, lor the President to devote soiii.utten- s ion to the consistency of his own reird, it' n lot to the ordinary proprieties hithfto oh- t erved by the Chief .Magistrate in niiinu- c beating with the supreme lcgislatuc of the , jountry. 'J The report then recites the privation s ind passage of the separate mcasiuti of the | rme nature, with a view to obv| ie the s, 'resident's objections to the inethtl of re , eal, and says that it, too, was (returned , vithout approval. It then takcs-.iip and ] examines in course the President} reason or vetoing the measure in <|iiestioi>. With | cgard to the first of llieui, that t!( hill is i in necessary, the report says : jVhcther , lie opinion of a majority of repretntatives , if the people is entitled to any onsidernion at the hands of the Chief Kifiitivo is i d' eours j a matter to ho dctarmimd hy himell"; but it is impossible to roan the two 'eto messages together without he,tig struck ?y their marked difference in t.ne as retards tliis objection. The inevuahle contusion to he drawn Iroui llie lir|t message mis that all authority to use tin army at lie polls, even in aid of civil o I jeers, was acitly if not expressly abjure^ In the eeond message, however, there p tin such liscluiuier. It is admitted tli I elections night to he free IVoin military i IterTerence, nit no intimation that such 'nteiTcrence vould he unlawful. On the ontrary the nfercnec from the second message is that uider certain circumstaiiccs would he imiiicntly proper. The eitir:- argument gainst (lie necessity of the bilj is therefore eft to rest upon the 1'resident's assertion hat troops have not been and will not be iM?d to interfere with elections during liis iclniinistration. Hut his term of office will oon end and his opinions may change.? flic subjects of n despot must depend for ecurity upon the grace oftliCrir .uaster, but 1 free people will insist upon the guaranties if positive law. 1 The second objection of thk .President to lie measure under eonsideraf jou is that it would abrogate at certain tildes and places 1 number of existing laws, tjspcciallv Sec ion ."i.li'.IS, lie vised States, nvhich be says ivas sanctioned by Wa*hindu-.n, Jefferson, Jackson and liiiiculn, and iv,tLoins a principle acted upon by t lie four tS-csidents more endeared than all others to..'??io American poople. With regard to th/is objection the report says: Jf the Vrcsi'ient had exami f itied the facts connected with transactions 1 to which he alludes, lie would have found that neither of the four illustrious patriots referred to cither did or proposed to do anything which would not have been lawful under the strictest letter of the bill which he 1 now vetoes. In proof of this assertion the report' recites the circumstances of the s "Whiskey rebellion" of 1793, the eonspir- ' ttcy of Aaron liurr, the nullification movement of 1832 in South Carolina, and the ( outbreak of tho late civil war. It adds : ! A suflion nt answer, however, to this objection is that it is untrue The various stat- 1 utes to'wl ieh he refers, ii'eludinir Section 1 5.2i)&, arc as completely abrogated by j President Lincoln, February 27, 1805, as ' they possibly could have been by this bill if the President bad signed it. A mere , glance at the two measures will place this proposition beyond doubt in any candid 1 mind. It is a matter of regret, therefore, * that the President should have assumed a position so utterly without foundation. It should be borne in mind, however, that Sec- 1 tions 2,002 and 5,528 neither confer power 1 nor impose a duly upon any ofticer of the United States to keep the peace at the poils. . Congress has no constitutional power tocoufcr such authority or impose such duty.? ' Both the power and duty belong exclusive- 1 *?lo the several States, as was distinctly ' ^ jUd by the Supreme Court iu the coin par- 1 lively .recent case of the United States vs. . a jruiks'hnnk et al, 2 Otto, 551. The same Principle was also enunciated by the same l*iourt in 1812. i n't he ease of Pennsylvania 1 Prigg, 1(? Peters, G25. Nor can it bo 1 &\kiid that ntcro power to execute legal pro- 1 cess carries with it authority to preserve the 1 ^cace. If a marshal should be forcibly re- J ,Ved in the execution of process in his . '"JSuls, the persons resisting would, as held tVo?4the case of the United States vs. Cruiko\ Iiks, befire cited, be guilty of two dis- " \ o tt offences: one against the United States 1 jn resisting its process, and one against the State in violating its peace, and the authorities of the United States would have no more jurisdiction of the latter offence than ' he State authorities would of the former. That this was once the opinions of the pre- ' ' ^-""7 secretary of State is shown by the folLextra;-1 from a letter of instructions ' uiars!.:d <>l Florida, Wfiiton t-v ?it? I ^a'd m in is;, Stf''1". * b'' |.ecial duty and authority in the execution i i llie process issued to you must not be con- t ou mndou with the duty and authority of sup- u." rossing disorder and preserving the peace, f.1 yfu'ch uut/rr our (government he/oiafs to tin . ir11 authorities oj the Stair am! not to the " i ml authorities of the Cniteil Stalis." It ??y ho repeated therefore, says the report, hat Sections 2,002 and ,in itatutes, do n*o . .i.vMi&e ( ilici'is ol the ^^ "nitod Suites to keep the peace at the polls, nd they cannot he rationally construed to ^ " onler any authority or impose any duty. The linal ohjection of the President to he hill is 1 hat it discriminates in favor of hate ami against National authority, by making it lawful, under some cireuinstanees, j-](, o use the army to prevent violence in the onduct of State elections and uulawiul to js| lo so in the conduct of National elections. 1'he common sense of the country underlands that all elections in a State, whether t< or menibors of Congress or local ollices, ire by the same electors, and those electors <rj leiive their right to vote, as was decided by ~| lie Supreme Court in the ease of Miner vs. Iluppensett, 21 Wall, 1711, from the State ot ind not from the 1 nitcd States. It is j. herefore as much the power and duty of ^ the State government to maintain peace and C( aider at elections for congressmen as at . elections for State officers. y In conclusion, the report sums up with k [lie reiterated statement that the Federal j. Ilovcrnireiit lias not and cannot derive from (Congress any right to preserve the peace in (j a State, either at the polls or elsewhere, un- j less called upon hv the proper State authorities, and that it is difficult to see how the j distinct reservation to the President of the power to suppress insurrection against It j State, when properly called on, can be said to derogate from the authority of the United States The report closes with the ie- . quest of the comniitfcc to be discharged from further onsideratiou t?f the subject.

Man is a creature that i learns by the exertion of his own faculties. There are aids to learning of various kinds ; but no matter how many of these aids a man be surrounded by, after all, the learn- 1 ing is what he himself acquires. And * whether in college or out of college, in school or out of school, every man must ! educate himself. And in our time and in ! our country every man has the means of doing so. i | A Vermont farmer-recommends the use of sawdust as a bedding for cattle, to keep thctn clean and absorb the liquid manure. An experience of twenty years in using it on a large farm shows that it does not injure j the soil being freely applied in this way.

ALDERNEYS, DURHAMS, DEVONS AND AYRSHIRES.. As (jrceuville is beguiling to show lively interest in well bred stock, it may help those of our farmers who don't tafce Agricultural papers, to know that Jerseys, iiuernscys and Aldcrueys are of the same ttock, leing bred ou the Islands of their respective names on the English coast.?= rhe.se Islands prohibit by law the lauding jf auy l'oreigu cattle, but allow some interchange between ' themselves.

Durham.*, Devous and * Ay rah ires stand on their own merits and pedigree,? While on rich pasture and high stall fccdnir, the Durhauis can't be equaled iu quantity of beef and milk, the Devons are more valuable on gonl ordinary pasture, because hey are more easily kept, and arc richer i* putter yield. The Ayrshires may be re? raided as diminutive Durhams, being very nuch tliesauic in other respects. Brahmins ire the hardiest, activost, most stylish, fin,'.st limbed cattle in the world. A cross of pure Brahmin on the /Jurliauf, Devon or Ayrshire makes an excellent cow or milk, and butter and beef. It makes lie best cow for all purposes, that can bo aiscd on the ordinary pastures of a South? :ru plantation, where cattle have to take ;aio of themselves. The best cow for plantation use?that is, for uiilk, butter and jccf we ever saw, was of a thorough bred Durham dam by a thorough bred Brahmin sire. Some of these Brahmin crosses (wo ire told they are superb animals, and goods milkers,) arc owned by'Mr. Adger iu the1 k'icinitv of Pendleton.
