The hop of Toronto bas given the Irish permission to make the usual demonstrations on St. Patrick’sday. They wilibe out in full force.

Virginia City papers contain a report that two hundred men, on their way to the mines of Montana, perished ina snow storm.

Mr. Trumbull.—I read it. Did not the Sena- tor hearme! ‘Because they were coatuma- ciously engaged in the rebellion.” He further debated the status of the rebel States, holding that, for national purposes they were in the Union, but for State purpeses, were not, opie no organization in accord with the Jnion, Mr. Cowan.—What would yon do with rebels if they submit! Mr. Trumbull.—If big retels, I would hang them, [Applause in the galleries.) At the conclusion of Mr. Trumbull’s speech, after our report closed— Mr. Cowan said he was perfectly willing to let the vote be taken, and let the oj cate of Mr. Trumbull and the message of the sident go to the country together. Mr. Willey explained that he would vote for sustaining the veto, mot because he endorsed all the sentiments of the President’s message, but because he believed the bill unconstitu- tional. He did not feel at liberty to veto for the bill while it contained a provision to ex- pend money for lands for freedmen. The question being called for, the Chair an- nounced that it was, Shall the bill pass, the President’s objection notwithstanding? upon which the yeas and nays were required by the Constitution.

Mr. Poland said his colleague (Mr. Foot) was confined to his bed with sickness, but if present would have voted for the bill. The Chair announced that the number voting in the affirmative being less than two-thirds. the biil had failed. The announcement was greeted with hisees from the colored gailery and applause from the white galleries. The Chair ordered the galleries to be cleared, which was done, Hover.—The fight on Mr. Stevens’ resolu- tion refusing admission to rebel representatives unless by consent of Congress, was kept up until late in the atternoon.

THE PRESS ON THE VETO MESSAGE. We find in our exchanges the most gratifying evidence that the clear and able exposition of the views of the President on one of the most important questions of the day, as set forth in his message vetoing the Freedmen’s Bureau Bill, will meet the approyal of alarge majority of the people, and only fails to satisfy the ex- of those who are doing as much to create dissension and keep alive the smoulder- ing fires of the rebellion as the most disaffected of Southern orators and writers. The Chronicle of this city is almost alone in its flerce denunciation of the Chiet Magistrate of the nation tor hie calm and dignified exercise of a constitutional right, speaking of the meet- ings being held to sustain him as “a part of this Presidential programme to force into Congress blood-stained traitors,” praying “God help and save our dear country from this last and most threatening perfidy! After prayer comes the Chronicle's exhortation. as follows: “Convinced that there is nothing more to be hoped from the President of the United States, that he has al- most completely surrendered himself to his own slanderers and persecutors. and turned these slanderers and persecutors upon his best and most devoted friends, they must rely upon themeel ves. In notable contrast this, with the fair and impartial opinion of that staunch and most in- fimential Republican journal, the New York Evening Post, which says The _ President states his objections to the new Freedmen’s Bureau bill with so much dignity. and at the same time with so much force o' conviction, that they will command, we trust, the careful consideration of Congress. These objections are substantially the same as were urged in this journal at the time the bill was first pre- sented te the Senate, but they are urged more at length, with more elaboration, and with a fuller understanding of the subject. Some provision for the protection of the freedmen during their transition from bondage to free- dom is imperatively necessary. e were pleased, therefore, t6see Mr. Trambuil’s mo- tion fora continuance of the plan of the bn- reau, amended as to its defeets; and enlarged in some respects as to its powers. It proposed practical legislation, not theory; but there were rome features of Mr. Trumbull’s bill that struck us as not only unwise but dangerous. We understand the view we haye taken to be still the view of the President. He does not object to the Freedmen’s Bureau itself, on the contrary he commends its services during the War: but he objects to certain features of it that are not only not needful to its efficiency, but at introduce dangerous powers and irtin- “Congress itself will see at a giance that these a1e no frivolous but very solid objec- tions, and, while insisting upon the measure itself, will no doubt modify the sections at which they are leveled. We say that the elee- Mosybury and educational clauses ought to be stricken out at once, because on no principle of law, justice, humanity or common sense are such provisions to beapproved. It should not be forgotten that the more freedmen’s bureaus we have the less we sliall have of that private effort which is now doing so wonderfully well, and which is destined do infinitely more The more freedmen’s bureaus we have the less we shall have of free men among the late slaves. Congress, with a little foresight and consideTation, may preserve whatever is val- uable in the new bill, and yet avoid the se- rious end indeed fatal objections which we are glad the President has had the sagacity and firmness to expose. But above all things, it should be careful not to embarrass and clog the erent amendment, which is the one achieve- ment of the war, with any unconstitutional acts, made nominally in pursuance of it. but really to its detriment. Even the Tribune, while deprecating the yeto in a moderate tone, admits that:—“Of course, the Freedmen’s Bureau is anomalous. There is no dispute as to that. Nay, more, it indi- cates a blind, roundabout way of doing justice, when complete justice was (with the Presi- dent's coneent) easier and safer. Three lines in the Federal Constitution abolishing and in- bibiting all laws and ordinances that bestow or withhold privileges because of color would be worth several Freedmen’s Bureaus. Justice— equal rights—the recoguition of his manhood — these the ex-slave wants—not coddling and petting.” Another leading Republican paper, the New York Commercial Advertiser, says :—“President Johnson has deemed it his duty to veto the Freedmen’s Burean Hill, and in doing so has presented many cogent reasons tnerefor. We give the message in full elsewhere, and a: our renders to weigh it carefully. Most of the objections made by the President have already appeared in these editorial columns, in our comments upon the bill during its passage through Congress, and differinz as we do from the Presideat in so many points of olicy, it is pleasant to be able to cunmend him for his fearlessness and force im the message which be has sent to the Senate. The President takes here a very proper stand in demanding that the safeguards established by the Constitution shall not be broken down. and that the formalities deemed necessary to protect the innocent, to punish the guilty, and to administer equal and exact justice, shai] not be disregarded. He cannot afford to take the risk of the acts of injustice that would follow the callow and imperfect jurisprudence of the agents appointed to fill these innumerable places establishedin one-third of the States, and over whose decision there is to be no su- pervision by the Federal Courts. The Presi- dent informs us that we are not in “a condi- tion of civil war,” and that the “rebellion is in factatanend.” He therefore vetoes the bill because it is at variance with the Constitution and with the condition of the country, Here it is well to remember that the passage of the bill last March was expreesly urged on the ground that it was a war measure, and the gravest doubts were then entertained whether itcould be sustained as a measure of peace. Custom bas habituated Congress and the cown- try toa doubtful policy, and now the objec- tions of a year ago have grown obsolete and dull. Such is the inevitable result of the mea- sures by which the few steal power from the many. The actof last year, the President re- gards as sufficient to meet the purpose for whieh it was framed, and to secure the objects — to be within the design gf the bill now vetoed.” Quoting the President's objection to the eleem- osquary features of the bill, the Advertiser adds: “The fact that this bill provides for all these things is enough alone to discredit it. It is worse than Lag to demand su! for the blacks and then feed, and clothe, and educate them at public expense. Ifthey are infants or incapables, they cannot be suitable citizens, and it is an insult to the manhood of the African race to suppose that it needs these props and supports. Though we had raised the objection to this bill of its enormous cost, yet we are half sorry that the President tells Cot that its cost is likely to be $24,000,000. Such an amount of spoil is enough to corrupt any Congress, and particularly the present, with its magnificent plan for Les pyrene and its reckless disregard of the public burdens.” The New York Times, (Republican) speak- ing of the President, says: “Just in proportion as he was ay a = make sveriicns Sor tho integrity of the Union, when ntegrit: was Taost endangered, to the same extent 7 would he forego the eclat of a sectional popu- larity where bis judgment refuses its assent. in the former case the severe test of experience has shown him to haye been right.

To interpret his veto of this particular measure as an act st variance with the scope and direction of the national policy would be a declaration ofnon-confidence more fatal to complete and cordial restoration than all the acts of secession that were eve asved or conceived im the rebel States.
