The Exodus of Negroes from the South.

The most Intelligentofthe negro racedo not approve of the exodus of thenegroes from the South to Kansas orthe North.

Mr. J. Milton Turner, late ministerto Liberia, and one of the most intelli-gent colored men in the country, agreeswith ex-GovernorPinchback in fearingthat the freedmen's movement willprove to be fraught with disaster to hisrace. He has publicly declared that hethinks "It is a question whether thisimmigration to Kansas is not a mis-take." He says that the colored people"are takinga heavy responsibility whenthey break up the country and go to anindustry and climate they are not ac-customed to." Mr. Turner adds: "Isuppose there has been some bulldozingat the South, but tbe question is notabout that any more; the democratsare in power there now, so why shouldthey wish to bulldoze?"

As the Baltimore Sun says, Mr. Garri-son casts discredit upon his own persist-ent efforts for the abolition of slaveryby the way in which he raves about thisexodus, as if he thought he could per-suade people to believe in the wild gab-ble of "bloody misrule," "fraud, terror-ism, and murderous violence," whichcomprised the burden of his letter tothe Faneuil Hall meeting. There isno such thing, of course, and cannot bein the nature of things, and to assert it,as Garrison does, upon mere hearsayand without investigation, is to do thegrossest sort of injury to the peoplewhose next friend he sets himself up tobe. As Mr. Turner says, most unan-swerably, why should there be any bull-dozing when there is nothing to begained by it, but everything to lose?In the circular issued by the Mississippiplantersand merchants who have calledthe- convention which is to meet atVicksburg, May 5, one of the main ob-jects of the proposed assemblage is sta-ted to be to correct "the false and slan-derous charges which have been steadyily kept before the worldby the enemiesof our people." The call adds :

"The undersigned do not in the leastbelieve that this emigration movementhas been caused by any unjust treat-ment of the laborers, and do not believethat they are treated or dealt with lessjustly or less liberally by the planters ofthe South than the laborers anywhereelse in theworld. We have no schemefor their amelioration except to com-mend them to industry and economy.It is not the purpose of the convention,as far as its originators know, to discusswith them any political questions, orany themes of a kindred character. Webelieve the convention should endeavorto allay the fears which incendiarieshave secretly generatedin the minds ofthe ignorant colored people, and shouldalso endeavor to dispel the delusions un-der which they are laboring byreason ofthe false promises of their false friends."

The Vicksburg Herald reports thatSenator Bruce, a colored man who is asintelligent and conservative as ex-Min-ister Turner, approves the objects of theconvention. He thinks that the so-called exodus is likely not only to causeindustrial embarrassment at the South,but much suffering among the coloredpeople themselves,and he is of opinionthat the convention will do much goodby restoring confidence between theraces and removing the false impres-sions caused by the tales which havebeen told the freedmeu by designingknaves.

Unconstitutional.If it be true, as the President main-

tains in his veto of the army appropria-tion bill, that that bill is a "dangerousviolation of the spirit and meaning ofthe Constitution," then is it also truethat the Republicans were guilty of a"dangerous violation of the spirit andmeaningof the Constitution"when theytacked on to an appropriation bill andpassed the existing law authorizing su-pervisorsof elections outside of cities of20,000 inhabitants.

If the President be right now, he was,when a member of Congress, guilty, bythe vote he cast, ofperpetrating a "dan-gerous violation ofthe spirit and mean-ing ofthe Constitution."

The Colored candidate in Roa-noke.?Walter A. Ssott, a coloredteacher, who is a candidatefor Commis-sioner of the Revenue in that county,publishes a card ln which he says thathe will not withdraw from the canvass,as an intelligent colored man, Zacha-riah Hunt, advised. Hunt thinks thatas teacher Scott could be of service tohis race, but not as officeror candidatefor office, as that would tend to exciterace prejuce and do his race harm andnot good, as has been illustrated in theSouthern States where colored men heldoffice.

C.B. Thomas, G. W. Bates, and James R.Crockett. The stores of our merchants,and the workshops of oar worthy andenterprising mechanics furnish internaland indisputable proof of increase oftrade, abounding thrift and gratifyingprogress. The population of the townis about 2,500, embracing all the profes-sions and trades usually found in placesof that size.".

Comments on the President's VetoMessage.

The Lyntihburg Virginian says:?"ltis as; offensive to theHouse of Represen-tatives as any thing that ever emanatedfrom Charles tbe First, of England, inhis communications to Parliament, andmakesa direct issue between the peo-ple's Representativesand thePresident,that scarcely admits of compromise. "

"He assails both the legislation andthe mannerof it, and rather ridiculesthe pretensionsof the "majority in theHouse of Representatives for claimingthe sole right to originate bills for rais-ing revenue, and thereforethe right towithhold appropriations upon whichthe existence of the Government maydepend." And pray, Mr. President,what body, but the House, had theright, under the Constitution, to origi-nate bills for raising revenue, and howare these. bills ever passed except bythe "majority?"

* * *

"No principle of the Constitution hasbeen more clearly settled than this; andthe representatives of a free peopleshould never consent to grant appro-priations for the maintenance of a stand-ing army, if, through any existing law,the Executive (whetherKing or Presi-dent, does not matter) can use it to me-nace the liberties of the people.

We cannot imagine how it is possi-ble for the President to arrive at theconclusion which he states, to-wit:"That this bill is dangerous, and in vio-lation ofthe spirit and weaning of theConstitution." To our apprehensionitis just the reverse. But the Presidenthas made the issue.?He has arrayedhimself with the stalwarts?the menwho seek occasion to keep up strsfe be-tween the sections, and to pave the wayfor the return of a soldier whose willwas a law to himself, when he was inthe Executivechair."

The Alexandria Gazette says :?"lnconsidering the President's veto mes-sage it should also be remembered thatCongress in passing the army appropriation bill has complied with all its con-stitutional requirements. It has threa-tened nobody, and has voted such esti-mates as wereasked for by the Secreta-ry of War. The President, for a mereparty purpose, has deprived the army ofits means of subsistence, and should beheld responsible for what, in the eyes ofall lovers of freedom, must seem an out-rage on republican institutions hardlyless flagrant, but only a legitimate con-sequence of the one by which he holdshis office."

The Lynchburg News says i?"Hemakes a square issue with the Demo-cracy. He will use the troops at thepolls, if he chooses?in fact, he inti-mates that they are necessary in Con-gressional elections. His positions onevery point is the reverse of what heheld and that for which he voted inCongress, ana like bis corrupt leadersin the House, he "goes back"on the ac-tion and doctrines of theparty duringAndrew Johnson's administration."

The RichmondDispatch says:?"Wedenouncehim as an unwitting enemyof free government and civil liberty.He has made it possible for a centraliz-ed despotism to be ereoted in a fewyears upon theruins ofour present Fed-eral system."

The Washington correspondent ofThe Stale says:?"So far as I can learnit is the unanimous opinion of Demo-crats that Mr. Hayes has surrenderedhimselfentirely into the hands of thestalwarts, and gone back on his recordwith reference to the use of the army inpolitics. They say he assumed to dic-tate to Congress the manner in which itshall pass laws, and goes as far as Presi-dent Johnson in attempting to intimi-date the legislative branch of the Gov-ernment. They think there is an im-plied intention to use the troops when-everhe can do so to the advantage ofhis party, and broadly advanced themost dangerouscentralizationheresies."

The State says:?"lt is the weakestpaper yet issued by Mr. Hayes as Presi-dent.

The message weakens the President'srepute before tbe country, and its onlygood effect will be to strengthen theDemocrats, who may nowclaim that inthe light of the President's declarationsall men may see that no method was oris left to the Democrats for the repeal oflaws utterly obnoxiousthan this objec-tionable uiethod of attaching the repealto appropriation bills. Thus he has hurthis own side and helped the other, andhas left nothing to the Democrats but tostand'firm."

The Norfolk Landmark says:?"Theastitude now occupied by Mr. Hayesplaces him in antagonism, not to theDemocratic party alone, but to the su-preme popularright of controlling thesupplies, and when his votes already re-ferred to. as a memberof Congress, arecompared with his present course, hestands condemned oue of his ownmouth."
