TItK THIRD VETO.
The l'resideut has Vetoed the Legis
lative, Executive aW Judical appro-
priation bill in a message assigning his
reasons. The message is in some seiue
a repetition or a .supplement to the
other two, the reason's for, his objections
being substantially the same in ajl.
The President gives substantially his
objections in the following:
The true meaning and effect of -the J
proposed legislation arc plain. The
supervisors, with the authority to ob
serve and witness the proceedings at
the Congressional elections, will beleft
buLthere will be no power to protect
thorn, or to prevent interference with
their duties, or to punish any violation
of the law from which their powers arc
derived. If this bill is approved, only
the shadow of tho authority of the
United States at the national elections
will remain, the substance will be gone.
The supervision of the elections v ill be
reduced to a mere inspection, without
authority on the part of the supervisors',
to jlo any act whatever to make the
election a' fair one. AH that will be left
to the supervisors is the permission to
have such oversight Of the elections as '
political parties are in the habit- ol
exercising without any authority of law
in drder to prevent- -i licit opponents
-.front obtaining nnfciir advantages. The
"object of the bill is to destroy any con
trol ! wliatt ver by the United Stak'o'
over t he-UtwigrcaHona ! elect ions.-

The N'. Y. Times i has the following
upon tho quarantine bill; V , ',,
No. bill ever 'passed by Congress so
positively" antagonizes the state rights
theories as this quarantine bill, and yet
all the southern members and other
Democratic sticklers for the rights of
the states voted for, and .marty' of them
earnestly ad y ocated it. The Republi
cans did not fail to imbrore the oppor
tunity thus presented io reminathe'
state rights men of their inconsistency,
in advocating a measure; intended to
give the Federal Government full con
trol of quarantine regulations, while at
the sanif time they were resorting to
violent methods to prevent the govern
ment fruhi regulating its owri elections.
The action of the southern advocates
of htato --jghts ' on the Quarantine bill
sh vs that their peculiar.. theories are
adjusted entirely by sectional interests
or pat lisan exigencies. It will tbe dif
ficult for them to explain how, the
United States can enforce Sanitary . re
gulations at New Orleans, and New
York for the, protection of the public
health, and yst not be, able to make
and enforce laws to protect the people
of those cities in their right to vote and
to defend the ballot from fraud and
pollution, particularly as in the first
ea.se the" constitutional authority is
implied and doubtful, and in the latter
it is .x pressed and positive.

We of the south cannot 1 complain ! oi
our present lot as t people. HDiitinetly
warring in 1861 for, an independence
which was idle and impossible, consid
ering our habits and necessities, a
separate independence which was im
practicable and impolitic,' and . for
slavery which was condemned, . by , the
Christian world, what "southern , states-
man is there now wlio does not ac
knowledge that the success of the re
bellion would have been a burden and
a calamity? The abolition of slavery
which we opposed and for which we
are indebted to the war i3 , a greater
blessing than any legislation ever could
have conferred on a people. It elevated
the African slaves from the condition:
uf brutes to that of men and citizens.
It placed them with unshackled limbs
and free action upon the great highway
of civilization and progress, and it' re
lieved us of an incubus and nightmare
which drove sleep from the pillows of
the innocent and robbed labor of its
due repose. It substituted for a worth
less population without responsibility
or interest in bur country or its in
stitutions, millions of educated laborers, :
the bone and sinew ofthe land,who.are
citizens of worth and integrity, a class
who largely increased our representation
in Congress, who make good soldiers in
time of war, contribute to our domestic
safety and the, public defence, and in
peace as laborers and husbandmen ac
customed to the climate i and the in-i
habitants, develope the resources and
increase the wealth of our couutry.
Less than thirty years hence, in the
first quarter of the coming century,
among the thronging multitudes moy
ing in these streets not. an individual
will probably survive who took part for
or against the Union, for or against
African slavery, for or against the right
of secession. "Dust thou art and unto
dust must thou return." Ens that
heard the roar when from the t-rnbra-sures
cf Fort fckimter through one liun-
died brazen lips belched forth the red
artillery, sending bursting bombs across
the historic harbor of Charleston, will
then be closed in death. The eyes that
beheld the flash and watched the white'
smoke as it rose upon the blue sky he
hind Fort Moultrie, will then bo wrap
ped in thick night, and commingling
with earth. The last survivor of those
dreadful days bewailing his fate of sur
viving the heroic age of the; Republic,
will have gone do"vn to a silent tomb.
I, a Confederate soldier, who bore
arms against the men who steep under
these green mounds, having been led to
reflect upon the great, events which have
occurred, and having arrived at 'different'
conclusions from-most of my fonncr
comrades, ask the question: Suppose
the Confederate Stales Government had
succeeded, and two organized mil)t"v
republics on t)ie frontier stretehingirom
from ocean to ocean over a country four
limes larger than Europe, three limes
l.i-ger than Africa, half as large as Asia,

w.nks of au overwhelming American
iirlit.iry tyranny. What would have
become ot eivil liberty? 1
lut 1 he 'principles of the war were
gallant'y maintained, the latent heroisrja
of tho A neriuau people was . revived
the stagflation, the corrupt atmosphere
of peace disappeared amidst the smoke
of battle. As a citizen of our couutry I
rejoice that the American race, were
found not unequal to the expectations
of the .world.' In view of the present
situation and the nigh future, another,
question recur : What shall one .day
be said ol the men and women ot Ameri-
ca, of the occupants of tho graves and
those beyond, aqd of the cause in which

exaggerations of romance, the license
of song, the dreams of chivalry will
soon disappear before tho cold scruti
nizing gaze or a posterity whose Con-,
federate blood will be -diluted br ihe
absorption of a vigorous Union element,
and whose Confederate sentimentality
will bo moderated by the practical
tenelit3 of citizenship in a government
strong enough to mainta them at
home and abroad, and which they
themselves will assist in controlling.
Among the romantic theories which
ave crumbled beneath the rude tost of
practical experiment one of the most
fanciful and visionary was that of seces
sion. The question is' already often
asked what was the necessity of this
cruel and bloody-war? And the an
swer is a very plain one. To settle the
questiou of "State Rights" and' Slavery,"
The people of the gotitlp ad tau.gut
their childreu tt their firesides, in the
public schools as weli'as lrom the ros
trum that slavery was, right; and that
states were sovereign aud supreme.
After a bitter conflict for years between
the politicians on the stump, a3 well as
in the halls of Congress, and not being
able to settle these im portent questions,
they v ere final fy referred td the ar
bitrament of the sword, and by the
sword it has been decided that in this
country thcro should be no compulsory
laber, . and that all men regardless of
color shall have equal rights before the
law aud at the ballot-box, and that the
government of the United States is su-r
preme over the state jj-ovcrnmenU. IS(d
sMte hai a, right tq ecedei and we are
a nationaiid "not a confederation.
There were four millions of. tho pop
ulation of the south in slavery, and by
the war being forced tm the country by
the southern politicans, they were made
free. It is true that the time would
have come when their freedom would
have been declared if there had been
no war. That would have taken years,
and probably the hc,Gn never Would
haye been enfpyed by the present gen
eration But the day when Fort Sum
ter was fired upon by the southern sol
diers was the turning point iq theu for
tunes, and the yiptojry wn, by the brave
TJniou soldiers and sailors resulted not
only in striking the shackles from the
four million slaves and making them
free, but it also made them equal before
the law and at the ballot-box with oth
erAmerican citizens, The triumph of
the federal soldiers was the end of
-slaTery'oh this continent: Now it can
truly be said this is "the -land of the
Tree and the home ofthe brave."
. , We are assembled here to-day in this
sacjed - enclosure .to recognize the debt
of gratitude our country owes its de
fenders, the' preservers and defenders
ofthe National Unidn: Wherever on
this broad continent repose the bones
of a , federal soldier, in the bayous of
Louisiana, in the cotton .fields of Mis.
sissippi, on the plains of Georgia, in
the .meuntains and swamps of Carolina,
beneath the living sands of Fort Fisher,
upon the battle fields of Virginia, along
the dark Potomac, in hundreds of grave
yards' and cemeteries throughout the
north, ' beneath her swelling bosom
ridged with graves, they laid them
down to their last sleep, and they diedV
a ' cheerful sacrifice, upon the altar of
patriotic, uucalculatiug devotion,
In all these ; spates, and' among all
these -people, whether connected with
the dead by ties of blood, or regarding
them with aversion; whether, they sleep
near their frieuds or as they sleep here
in a , land of strangers; whether the
graves where they lie be deemed a
monument or an altar, and the dust
vhich enwraps them bo sanctified
by kiudretl dust or shared with their
foes; whether it be moistened by the
tears of affection, or looked upon as men
look upon the graves of thdir conquerors;
in every state of this great Union, fet
tered by no sectional lines, rising above
local. prejudices and party lines, all the
citizeus of this c;reat Republic should'
recognizs the debt the nation owes
these'falien braves; these men who in
"the hour of its supremo peril abandoned
their friends and gave up their lives for
its preservation. In tho greaf Urnggle
of the rebellion it was the will of God
that the Government should triumph,
and that- humau slavery should cease.

In has beeti our sad forLinc to behold
the mighty fabric erected Uy our fathers
assailed in an hour of madness by their
offspring. A continent trembled be
neath the 'shock of eontendiug hosts;
the childreu of Washington poured out
fraternal blootf iikewater around its deepfl
foundations in a vam and idle cllort to
obtain sectional supremacy, iu viola
tion ofthe origua,! compact. May God
rrant that 11 this civil war shall bear
no other fruit it will teach Americans
the folly of such attempts from any
quarter. 'Then not in vain will- these
liavc died; nat'au vain will we deck their
graves with flowers to-day; not iu vain
will kindred tears have fallen nor the
duties of patriotism been perfor med.
Every giave will be a tongue, every
flnwc'r a noeuu-'.e-vry-breeze a dirge,
aud the Union will be perpetual.
After the' add res the ceremonies
were concluded by more music by the
Baud nud the choir; by a salute by CU
Mabson's command, and by- decorating
the graves with flowers, when the large
gathering. withdrew towardsdown, each
