The Spectacle al Haslilnicton. I
I boiiglitful, well disposed men, of nil 1
political parties, who love their coun
try. and desire the preservation of free !
instifutions, must see, in tiro condition ;
to which our government Is reduced, I
matter for the gravest reflection, and j
teel the most painful apprehensions‘in !
regard to the future. Such an utter
■disregard of all the limitations of pow
er, as towards the States and the peo
ple, nnd of all the divisions of power,
as bet ween the co-ordinate departments
of the general government, was never
exhibited in any free country not in a
state of actual revolution.
We are in a state ©f revolution. It
is a revolution, lie is blind who does
not see it. lie is false who, seeing it,
will not admit it.
The ruling party has had but one idea
since it gained power. That lias been
to retain power. To subserve tins one
purpose it lias shaped all it measures.
Passing by its policy and acts during
the war. and coming down to the time
of the surrender of the Southern arm
ies, and the recognition, by the Sonth,
of the authority of the constitution and
laws of the Uniscd States over the
States which had seceded, and what
can be more obvious to the candid
mind, than that from moment the Un
ion was testored ?
In several articles which have lately
appeared in our columns, and particu
larly in that of last week, on the speech
of Senator Morton, of Indiana, we have
shown, that at the termination of the
war, the Southern States stood before
the country with the same State gov
ernments which existed therein before
the war.
Without repeating our former nr<rn
merits, it is sufficient to say, that tliev
were then, if there whs no validity in
secession, as the party in power con
tends, as much members of the Union
as they had ever been, and they were
c if titled to send their Senators and Re
presentatives to the Congress of the
United States, as fully* as at any* time
since the adoption of the Constitution.
Rut this clear constitutional right has
been denied them from that day to this,
now nearly three years, during all
which time no State that seceded, ex
cept Teuuessee, has been allowed re
presentation in either branch of Con
gress. Then, ns a necessary* legal con
sequence, we contend that there lias
not been, under the Constitution, and
as required by the Constitution, at any
time within these three years, a valid
Congress of the United States, which
any citizen lias been bound to respect
or obey.
\\ by't Because the Constitution pro
vides that tlie Congress shall consist of
Senators and Representatives from tlie
several States comprising tlie Union,
and that each State shall be entitled to
two Senators, and a number of Repre
sentatives in proportion to its popula
tion.
rlon States are denied this right. The
individuals assembled at Washington
claiming to he the Congress, have will
fully and persistently excluded the
Senators and Representatives from
these ten States, from the seats to which
they arc clearly entitled, and which
they have repeatedly demanded.
Then there is no Congress of the i
United States. The Constitution has !
not been complied with, in makiug up
the bodies which claim to he the Con
gress—conditions prescribed by the
Constitution, and absolutely necessary
to be observed, to make a valid Con
gress, have been intentionally disre
garded, in fact, repudiated. If that
which the Constitution says must he
done, to constitute a Congress, lias n6l
been done, and this exclusion is willful,
and relates to some material thing,
which may affect legislation, it must he
conceded that it is a fatal defect, a le
gal vice, which takes away all validity
from the organization.
A mere voluntary omission of cer
tain States to send Senators and Repre
sentatives to Congress, when their
right to send them is not denied, and
there hag been no actual exclusion,
would not have this effect, because no
State can he compelled to send Sena
tors and Representatives. If they
choose to waive the right, and forego
its exercise, they cannot thereby pre
vent the other States from making up j
the body, so as to have the necessary
legislation for the country, and cannot
justly complain of the character of that
legislation, if within the constitutional
power of Congress, and they could
have prevented it by the presence and
action of their Senators and Represen
tatives.
It is another thing, however, when |
they are forcibly excluded from repre
sentation, and that exclusion has cna- j
bled those who claim to be the Con
gress, to carry measures which other-j
wise would have been defeated. That
Is the case in .regard to nearly all the i
measures of the present Rump Con-1
gross.
Every bill which has been vetoed by
the President, would have failed to be
come a law, had the Southern States
been represented, beeause not one of
these bills could have been carried over
the veto, by a two-thirds vote, as re
quired by the Constitution.
llow absurd to contend that such leg
islation is valid, and that States which
are thus excluded from representation,
are bound by it. And if they are not
bound, none of the States are bound.
If not a constitutional Congress, then !
no constitutional acta can emanate from I
it. If unconstitutional, of course void. I
and not binding upon anybody. Thus
stands the whole body of Rump legis
lation.
So, too, in regard to the iuipeachmcut |
of the President, now pending before
the so-called Senate. ere the South
ern States represented, each by two
Senators, in that hotly, as the) have a
right to be, there would be no possibil
ity of A Convict ion of the President,
beeause, to carry such conviction, a
vote of two-thirds of the Senators pre
sent ia necessary. This whole impeach
ment proceeding is a usurpation and a
nullity, ami resistance to it in am form
and to any extent necessary to defeat
it, would be morally anti legally jusliti
able. The same is true ot all the acts
of the dump.
It is now seen why this great public
outrage of excluding the Southern
States from representation has been
perpetrated. It is to enable the party
in power te carry its measures, and
maintain and perpetuate its ascendency.
For this it lias acted in hahitual, dai
ly violation of tlie Constitution—for
this it lias nssunted to legislate for three
years, for the whole country, with ten
States excluded from representation—
for this it lias advanced from one usur
pation to another, according to what it
deemed the necessities of its position,
without the slightest regard to the lim
itations, or even the express prohibi
tions of the Constitution—for this it
has trampled upon all the maxims and
traditions of free government—for this
it lias transformed our institutions into
an uumixed, an unmitigated and irre
sponsible despotism, for which it may
be, there is no remedy hist armed coun
ter revolution—for this if lias made the
sword the supreme law—for this it is
converting into negro States some of
(lie grandest, and noblest peopled,
white commonwealths ot all time.
IIow long shall tlie.se things last?
How much more can the people bear ?
lias the spirit of the devolution died
out?
Then a cluster of feeble eolonics, peo
pled with barely th ’ec millions, all told,
counting men, women and children,
scattered over nn immense territory,
with but little soil reclaimed from the
wilderness, producing no more, in
peace, than was necessary for theirsub- i
sistcnce, exposed to the attacks of nu
morons anil powerful savage tribes,
without an army, without a navy, with
out military preparation of resources,
on not one-tenth the provocation to re
sistance that now exists, sprang to arms,
and defied the mightiest power of the
.earth, and, alter an eight years' strug
gle, under the military leadership of the
great Rebel Chief of Virginia, won in
dej cadence, and established the free
government which now lies prostrate,
a wreck and a reproach, under tlie feet
of usurpers and tyrants whose rule is j
far more oppressive and exacting than
that which the British King sought to
impose upon our fathers, and whose
spirit and enormities have no parallel
in history, but in the infamous and re
volting crimes of the Jacobins of
France. •
And we, of tlie North and West, have
tamely stood hv, and allowed that free ]
government to be overthrown, and have 1
“Made no si«n!”
Here we stand to-day, three millions :
strong, of stalwart white men in. the ■
United States—not three millions of
people merely, of all ages, and sexes, |
as in tlie revolution, hut all men capable
of bearing arms—who arc opposed to
tlie Jacobin rule, and still
“We make no sign !’’
“Age, then art sham'd :
“ Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble
bloods !’’
Leap Year Privileges.
Corry O’Uanus, of the Brooklyn Ea
gle posts up the ladies on their leap
year privileges and the perils there
upon attendant. Corry talks like a
judicious guardian of sweet sixteen :
It is leap year.
Of which fact I wish to remind the i
ladies.
There is a division of opinion as to
the right of a woman to vote, hut there
can be no question as to her right to a
husband—if she can get one.
Now is her time.
But I would advise young ladies not
to he rich.
Although it is leap year, you had
better look before you leap.
Becuute if you get a husband and lie
don’t suit you can't change him for a
better one, at least without going to
Chicago.
There arc several considerations to
be observed in the selection of a bus-!
baud.
Books are a matter of taste—size.
complexion and color of whiskers may
be left to individual taste.
They are of less consequence than
disposition and pecuniary resources.
Particularly the resources.
1 wouldn't advise any young woman
to marry a man who would expect her
to support them.
It is not a fair tiling on tlie old gen- <
tlcmau, who lias been looking forward
to the marriage of bis daughters as
happy release from milliner's bills.
Never disappoint your parents.
Young ladies need not inquire too
particularly whether the man of their
choice belongs to ns lodge which meets
four night’s a week.
She will find that out after they arc
married.
Husbands, like other domestic ani
mals, when caught young can some
times be trained to do a good many
useful things. They have even been
known to get up in the morning and
light the tire when the girl has gone
away.
There are some professions not ad-'
visable to marry into.
Such as editors, for they never get;
rich.
Or reporters, who are never homo
nights.
Or politicians who are never satisfied i
with one wife, hut are always getting
wedded to their country, and like most j
bigamists abuse both their wives.
But as the great object is to get a
husband, and as the supply is limited,1
it may not do to he too particular.
A lady in Great Barringtou, Hass.,:
recently gave birth to a female child,
on the back of whose head was a pro
tuberance, in perfect representation of
the prevailing “waterfall.” Eveu the!
marks of the ribbon with which they !
ire usually tired on, were plainly j
shown on the child's neck. It was'
iiliit when horn, hut died soon after
wards.
