On yesterday everything was quite lively at the Market and Market Dock; the dock being full of boats with nearly every thing in the way of food for man and beast - This state of things is qaite cheering as there had been quite a dearth in the way of marketing for some week or two, in consequence of the storm which has prevails 1 in this lattitade to the dis comfiture of oar denizens, by the depression of spirits and great stagnation of every branch of trade. Our country friends would do well to bring in their tnrseys, gaeses, chickens, eggs, hams, saa-r sages, pork, beef, and in tact any and everything which are generally consumed by man and beast. as they are brnging a very good price at this time in this market. . ; , : AiAxoBS iocbx.

To the House of Representatives ; 1 have considered the bill entitled "An .Minn. piouicu,ij iu au act cuuueu "AU aCt to provide lor tie more efficient government ot the rebel States, passed March 2, 1867, and to facilitate, restoration, and now return it to the Homu t Atepreseuuwives, with my objections. i This bill provides for elections in the ten Stales brought under the operation of the orioi. nal act to which it i supplementary. Its details are principally directed to the elections for the lormation of the- State constitutions, but by the Hixth section of the bill "all elections" in the tates, occurring while the original act remain. in f roe, are brought within its purview. - . Atciornng to the details, it wnl be loond that, first ot all, there is to -be a registration of the voters. No one whose ttanie has not been aul. mined on tLe list is to be allowed to vote at m of these elections. "To ascertain Who is entitlari to registration reference is made necessary, by the express language of the supplement, to th original act and to the pending bilL- The fifth HWUonof the original aet provides, as to voters, that they shall be male citizens of the State, twenty-one years old and upward, of Wuatever race, color, or previous condition, who hare been resident 61 said State for one year." This it the general qualification, followed, however, by many exceptions, Jfo one can be registered, . ccording to the ongiosi act, "who mav bs dia- frsnchised for participation in the rebelli n, " a provision which it-it nndetermined the question as to what amounted to disfranchisement, anil hetber, without a judicial sentence, the act It self produced that effect. ' lliis supplemental bill superadds an oath, tn Kp taken by every person before bis nama en K. admitted upon the registration, that he has not tK-eu aiiiirauciiised for participatioa in any re bellion or civil ar agaiust the United States."

Thst work is lua work, and it cannot propel l v be ta- aen out of his hand4. , AU this legislation pro ceeds n pun the contrary assampuon that the people ol fsach of thene States smtU bars no oon siiiution, axunpt ahch as may be arbitrarily dic tated by Cungesa. mji! formed under tne re straint yf feta tS.hta-i-i . A. pUaU statoaaSS t. Ail Lists niaaes this evident- ti . ' , la ait these Slates there are existing constitu tions, formed in the accustomed way oy the peo ple. Cougress, however, declares thtt tnese uonstitnaons are not loyal and republican, ' aud requires the people to form them anew. What, tneu, m tne opuuon of C-jnrcsa, i usces- sary to in ike the Cjuauiutioa ' loyal and repub lican Tne original act answers the question: It is universal negro sunroge a question, wmcu tne reuerai u notitition leaves to the States themselves. All this legislative machinery ot martial Liw, mil.tary coercion, and political dis franchisement is avowedly for that purpose, and none other. The existing Constitutions of the ten States conform to thj acknowledged stand ards of loyally and tc pabhc&nism. Indeed, if there are degree ia republican forms of govern ment, their oonsututaona are . more - republican now than when thwse Slates four of which were members of the original thirteen varst, became members of tue. Uuion. A . -, . .-- W i, -. -Congress does L.uaw demand that single provision ol their eoostitnuon bo cnanged, ex cept such as confine suffrage to the while popu lation. -It is apparent, thetefore, that these pro visions rk not conform to the standard oi repob ucunisui which Congress seeks to establish. Tuat there may be no miauiks, it is only necessary that reference should be made to ths original act, which declares "such constitution shall provide that the elective franchise shah be enjoyed by all such persons as have the. quatifical.ou herein txUyii for electors or delegates." . What class 01 persons is here meant cleariy 'appears in the same section. That is to say; the male citizens of said State twenty-one years Sid aud upwards, ot Whatectr race, color, or previous condition, who have been resident in Said S.ate for one year pre vioos to the d.yof such election.- ; Without these provisions no Constitution wliicil Can be tr uned in any one of the tea Saates will be of aoy avail with Congress. - This, - then, is the test of what the Constitution of a State ot this Union must contain to make it republican. Aieasaccd by such a standard, bow iew( of the otutee nw composing tha Union have republi can Constitutions ! if. lu the exercise1 of the o ns.itutioual g.iarantee that Cong. ess shall se cure to every State a republ da form ot govern m-ut, uaiv. srnl saffrage f.r blacks as wed as wn lies is a sine qua mn, lbs work of recoustroo- ion may a. wed begin in Ohio as in Virginia, in Pennsylvania a- in North Car olin. - When I contemplate the millions of our fel low-citizens of the South, . With no alternative left but to impose upon themselves this feaiful aud untried experiment of complete , negro en franchisement and white disfranchisement, it may be alino t as complete, or submit indefinite ly to the rifiror of martial law, without a single attribute of freemen, deprived of ail thesacied guaranties of our Federal Constitution, and th eatened with even worse wrongs, if any worse are powible, it seems to me their condiuon is the most deplorable to which any people can be re duced. It i true that they have been engaged in rebellion, and that their object beina a sen e ration ot the ' States and a dissolution tne Union, there was an obligation restimr nnon every loyal citizen to treat them as enemies. and to wage war against their Oouse, Inflexibly opposed to any movemset imperil ing the integrity of tLe 4 Government, I did not hesitate to argo the adoption of ail measures neocssnary for the suppression of the lnsurreo tion. ' After a long and ternble 'struffcle the efforts f the Government -were tzinmphantly sncoomiifai, and Che people of the South, submit ting to the stern arbitrament, yielded forever the issues -f the' contest ' Hostilities terminated soon after it became my duty to axsatne the re sponsibilities of the Chief Execuuve OJloeX ot the Kepublie, and I at once endeavored to re press aud control the passions which onr ovl to had engendered.tn t, no longer regazding - ev oMouues, anin aornow ledced in tin as onr friends and nnr rmntm., xne war naa accomplished its objects.

I yet believe that if the poli cy of reconciliation then inaugurated, and which contemplated an early restoration of these peo ple, to all their political rights had received the support of Congress, every ' one of these tea States, and ad their peop'e, would at this mo ment be last anchored tn the Union and the great work which gnve the war all it sanction, and made it just and holy; would have bee u ac complished. Then, over all tbe vast and fruit ful regions of the South peace and its blessings would have prevailed, while now milli ins are de prived of rights guaranteed by the C institution to ettry citizen, aud, after nearly two years ot of legislation, find thenixetve-t placed j under an absolute military despoti-im.
