Me accompanied tts return to the body with a copy of the @taft of the message vetoing it, be bad prepared; ea fi that the action of Congress in curing its most ona bie features by subsequent legislation had determineé him to sign the bill instead of vetoing it as he bed in- tended todo. This message is tlierefore of great importance as frankly explaining to the country the convi¢tions under which, and the principles upon which he designe administering the Con- fiscation bill and employing négroes in (he Gov- ernment’s military service; the act giving him, it will be remembered, absolute personal discre- tion aad control over both these subject matters. The following is the message Fellow-citizens ef the Senate and House of Representatives Considering the bill fur “an act to suppress imsurfection, to punish treason and rebellion, to seize and ¢énfiecate the property of rebels, and for other purposes,’’ and tbe joint resolution explan- atory of said ect, as being stibstentially one, I have approved and signed both. Before | was informed of the resolution, | had prepared the draft of » message, stating objec- tions to the bill becoming « lew, a copy of which draft is herewith subm! July 17, 1863. Appana™ Lincoun {Copy.) Fallotw-citizens of the House of Representatives I herewith return té youf honorabie body, in which it originated, the bill for af ect entitled ‘An act to suppress treason and rebellion, to seize and confiscate the property ef rebels, and for other purposes,” together with my objections to Its becoming a law. There is much in the bill to which I perceive no objection. It !s wholly prospective; and it touches neither person or p:operty ef any loyal citizen, in which particular it is just and proper. The first and second sections provide for the conviction and punishment of persons who shall be guilty of treason, and persons who shall ‘* in- ette, set on foot, assist or engage in any rebellion or insufrection againgt the authority of the United States, or the law# thereof, or shall give ald or comfort thereto, or shall erigaye tn or give aid and comfort to a&y such existing feBellion or in- surrection.”’ By fair consiruction, persons Within those sections are not punished without regula’ trials {n @aty constituted courts under the forms and all the substan(id! provisions of law and of Constitution applicable to their éeveral cases. To this I perceive no objection; especially a7 such persons would be within the general pardoning power, and also the special provision for pardon and amnesty co*teined in this act. It 1s also provided that the fteves of persons con- victed under these sectionssball be free. ! think there is an unfortunate form of expression, rathet than a substantial objection in this. It is start- Ting to say that Congress can free a slave within 8 State, and yet if it were said the ownership of the slave bad first been transferred to the Nation, sna Congress had then liberated him, the di mi- culty woc'# at once vanish. And this is the real cue. The traitor egsinst the General Govern- ment forfeits his slave at [de¢t as fustly as he does any other property; and he forfeits Doth to the Government against which he offends. The Government, so far as there can be ownership, thus owns the forfeited slaves, and the question for Congress in regard to them is, ‘‘shall they be made free or be 6cld to new masters’’’ I per- ceive no objection to Congtete deciding in ad- vance that they shall be free. To the high honor of Kentucky, as I am in- formed, she is the owner of some slaves by escheat, and has sold none, but liberated all. I hope the same is true of some other States. In- deed, I do not believe it will be pbys!selly pos- ible for the General Government to return persozs so cifcumsstanced to actual slavery. I believe there would be physical resistance to it, which could neither be turned aside by argument, nor driven away by force. In this view ! have no objection to this feature of the bill. Another matter involved in these two sections end run- ning through other parté of the act, will be no- ticed hereafter. I [purcstvn no objections to the third and fourth ions. So far as I wish to notice the Sfth and sixth sections, they may be considered together. That the enforcement of these s¢otions would do no injustice to the persons embraced within them, is clear. That those who make a causeless War should be compelled to pay the cost of it, is too obviously just to be called in question. To give governmental protection to the property of per- sons who have abandoned it, and gone on a cru- fate to overthrow that same government, is ab- surd, if considered in the mere light of justice. The severest justice may not always be the best policy. The principle of seizing aiid eppropris- ting the property of the persons embraced within these sections is certainly not very objectionabic, but a justly discriminating application of it would be very different, and, to a great extent, impossible. And would it not be wise to place 8 power of remission somewhere, so that these persons may know they have something to lose by persisting, and something to gain by desist- ing? fam not sure whether such power of re- mission is or is not within section thirteen. Without any special act of Congress, I think our military commanders, when. in military phrase, “they are within the enemy’s country,” should, in an orderly manner, seize and use whatever of real or personal property may be necessary or convenient for their commands; at the same time Preserving, in some way, the evidence of what they do. What I bave said in regard to slaves while commenting on the first and second sections is applicable to the ninth, with the difference that no provision is made in the whole act for de- termining whether a particular individual slave does or does not fall within the classes defined in that section. He is to be free upon certain con- ditions; but whether those conditionsdo or do not pertain to him, no mode of ascertaining is pro- vided. This could be easily supplied. To the tenth section I make no objection. The oath therein required seems to be proper; and the remainder of the section is substantially identical with a law already existing. The eleventh section simply assumes to confer discretionary power upon the Executive. With- out the law, | have no hesitation to go as far in the direction indicated as [ mayat any time deem . And [am ready to ssy now, I think it is proper for our militery commanders to em- ploy, as laborers, as many persons of African de- ‘Scent as can be used to advantage. The twelfth and thirteenth sections are some- thing better than unobjectionable ; and the four- teenth is entirely proper, if all other paris of the act shall stand. That to which I chiefly object, pervades most part of the act, but more distinctly appears in the first, second, seventh, and eighth sections. It is the sum of those provisions which results in the divesting of title forever. For the causes of treason and ingredients of treason, not amounting to the full crime, it de- clares forfeiture extending beyond the lives of the guilty parties; whereas the Constitution of the United States declares that ‘‘ no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood or forfeit- ure, except during the life of the person attaint- ed.” True, there is to be no forma! attainder in this case; still, I think the greater punishment cannot be constitutionally inflicted, in s differ- ent form, for the same offense. With great respect am constrained to sey, I think this feature of the act is unconstitutional. It would not be difficult to modify it. { may remark that the prevision of the Const!- tution, put in language borrowed from Great Britain, applies enly in this country, as I under- stand, to real or landed estate. Again, this act, 4 rem., forfeits property for the ingredients of treason withouta conviction of the supposed criminal or a personal hearing given ‘him in any preceeding. That we may not touch property lying within our reach because we can- Rotgive personal notice to an owner Who is ab- eert endeavoring to destroy the Government te j Certainly satisfactory. Still the owner may not be thus engaged, and | think © reasonable time sbould be provided for such parties to appes: and For the reasons stated, | return the bill to the House in which ® origineted THE CHARGES AGAINST GEN. MITCE-~ BLL We learn that Col. Nerton, recently in the are vice under Gen. Mitchell, Beving reached hare some da\sago bearing the forme! charges eguinet Gen.
