WHAT IS TO BF-POME OF TEF
FOOB?
Our exchanges from nlmost every
quarter contain accounts of the snfler
j ing nnd destitution of the poor in their
f vicinity. Repented nnd noble efforts
have been made to ameliorate tlieir
condition, and with great success. But
there yet remains an immense amount
of destitution that must be augmented
j, by the severity of the coming winter.
| Many of these sufferers are the widows
j nnd orphans of the nohie dead. whoso
j death sheds a h.aio of glory around the
| lost cause. Many of them arc the sons
•j of our noil, the brave Confederates
b who, by the fortunes of the late war.
R are so crippled and disabled as to be
f unable to procure by labor that with

the grave with her hoy. Maimed sol
diers, widows, orphans, mid weeping
mothers, are to be found in our State.
They are poor fndeed: private gener
osity will not supply their wants suffi
ciently, and wc ask what will become
of them. Our Legislature should take
this matter in hand, and for the sake
of the lost, though not forgotten cause,
do something for the relief of helplcs*
cohljcrs, and the widows, wives and
mother.; of that noble band whose
death was our los-.
some affaibs.
Wc fire no politicians: our people
now have no political interests to look
softer, no place in the general Govern
ment. Our business is with ourselves,
for we have but ourselves to provide
for, ourselves to depend upon. The
circumstances and disappointments of
; the past have not so crippled us as a
people that we cannot maintain our
selves. Wo must work, it is true, if
we would live; and if we will devote
our time and energies to that which
directly concern us, wo can become n
happy people, n prosperous State,
i Arkansas lias within herself the ele
ments of greatness: site is rich in min
eral wealth; her lands are banks of
gold if properly cultivated. Let us.
therefore, turn our attention from po
litical hopes, which are now dead, to
our own r.llairs at home. Most of our
farmers have more land than, under the
new system of labor, they can culti
vate. Let them divide their lands; en
courage {migration: settle around
them such men a? will devote their at
tention to the local interests of the
State, advance education and further
internal improvement. Let us draw
in our fences, study the science of
farming, raise all that is consumed, es
tablish manufactories, build good
school houses that our children may be
educated at home, develop the resour
ces of our State, $nd thus placing our
selves beyond the pale of radical influ
ence, live as independent and content

The Hqiection of the Const ^utioiial
Amendment by Georgia.
We have heretofore mentioned the
fact that the legislature of Georgia, hy
a unanimous vote (80 ayes) in the,Sen
ate, and liil to 2 in the House of J?ep
resenlatives. reiused to ratify (lie pro
| posed amendment to the constitution
1 of the United States. The committee
1 who recommended this action necom
| panied their report with a lengthy nr-1
Aliment against ratifying 1 lie amend
ment. the substance of which is as fol-!
lows:
1st. Tint States of the United Stages !
are alone authori7ed to consider cott
' stittttional amendments.
2d. That such amendments must he'
! proposed by two-thirds of the (.'oil-1
i cress, or legislatures of two-thirds oi ;
! the States.
That Georgia was one of the original
thirteen States by which the govern
ment was created, and must always
have continued to hear that relation to
the government, unless she reserved to
herself the right to secede or delegated
to some department of the general I
government the right to reject her.
The report proves, by the legislation
of Congress—by the proclamation of
the President, and the issues made and
maintained hy the general government
during the wiuv flint a State could not
secede; that her practical relations to
the general government were inter
rupted by the rebellion, and that with
its suppression, the States were restor
ed to tlieir practical relations; and the
constitution, which had never been
overthrown, became the supreme law
of the States recently in rebellion, and
that this constitution can only be
changed in the manner prescribed by
the States themselves.
The argument continues with con
siderable force, to show that Georgia
and the other Southern States formed
integral parts of the Congress, and that
no constitutional Congress could be
convened while integral parts of fj;,.
whole are forcibly excluded. And in
conclusion, mi inese reasons, ilie
amendment not having been proposed
by two-thirds of the Congress, recom
mend the adoption of tlic following
resolution:
Resolved. That (lie legislature of
Georgia declines to ratify ihc amend
ment proposed as a 14th article to the
constitution of the United Stall's.—

Will TkeyOr WiUThoj Not ?
Tliere is a great deal of conjecture
whether or not the Radicals will at
tempt to impeach the President. -V few
words will explain the principle on
which they are hound to operate. No
Radical party in the world can sustain
t itself for one single day longer than the
excitement of the people holds it up
In the ssme degree as Conservatism is
hostile to any unreasonable stirring up
of the people, just so necessary is it for
the maintenance of Radical rule, that
| some explosive stuff should he mingled
among the daily fuel used in the Radi
cal household. When the French Rad
icals had no other tonic to oiler to the
nation than the guillotine, the revolu
tion exploded. German Radicalism in
its own birthplace wasn'.w ays stillborn :
for they never knew how to raise a row
1 that survived its inauguration a single
day. No sooner was an emeute or a
revolution at Paris quieted down than
its babes in Germany at once ceased to
cry. Fven hi Italy. Radicalism became
silent when Garibaldi had lost the char
acter pi'a novelty. The same thing will
happen here. Should the leaders of
the Radicals discover a falling ofl'in
the acrimonious moo 1 of the people,
they " ill raise the new excitement of
[having the President impeaced. If
they can do without that stimulant they
may abandon the scheme. \\ hen ail
their stimulants are exhausted, and
even the strongest political drugs will
no more operate on the stomachs of the
masses, a pit'in common sense ( onscr
vative medicine may be applied with
the hope of great success. .That, we
-oppose, is the way things will go. and
ow reason for the belief is this, that
things never failed to go that way,since
there were men living together in great
communities. That nature, philosophy
; and history should make an exception
in favor ot our own Radicalism, wo can
scu no sufficient reason to suppose.

If an impeachment were ordered, it
would not merely be the trial of Andrew
Johnson, hut al-o the arraignment of a
party which represents a very great and
exceedingly active minority (a large'
majority, counting the South in) of the !
American people. That party accepts j
the President asifs Teadomnd exponent.1
it sustains his policy with energy and j
determination. Il defends, upon what j
it calls ('(institutional grounds, the very
nets which are relied upon to justify
the process of arraignment. It says
that any attempt to withdraw this pow-.
er from the Executive would, in itself,
he usurpation. IVe cannot doubt that. I
if articles of impeachment were to be
prepared, the Democracy would con
sider itself ns having been placed at the 1
bar—would repudiate the judgment as j
the fuimination of one party against
the other, and would stand ready 1o|
uphold the President in a refusal to
submit, though that refusal should
result in civil war, as would be most!
likely, in tin' excited state of the publio]
mind, certain to prevail. v
Let us imagine t..o condition of
affairs : A Chief Magistrate condemn*;
cd by a court whose jurisdiction is de
nied at the outset bv several millions
of American citizens : he refuses to obey
the proce.-s ; but lie persists in the exer
cise of the prerogative. Congress, then,
representing the (.overmuent, under
takes to oust him ; but lie summons to
bis aid what military lie can command,
and prepares to test the question of
force. Meanwhile, the violence and
turbulence engendered at the National
Capital extends through every section
of a country not yet fully recovered
from the delirium of war. Parties are
developed in each town, city or Jianik't,
holding Cxcitcdly the most pronounced
opinions on one .-idc or other, and
ready to light for those opinions. A
spark might, at any moment drop into
such a magazine, and then—what then?
Wc of the North scarcely know what
civil war means, as they have learned
it, who have seen street divided against
street, and family against family, law
obliterated, order destroyed civil secu
rit ies ovethrown, and neighbor arrayed
in mortal enmity against neighbor.
CiiY" It were bootless now to remon
strate against artything the Radicals
may do,.or to enquire by what author
ity, law or custom this or that thing Ts
or may be done. In the Radical cata
logue of prerogatives, “might makes
right and constitutions and laws arc
regarded as but tracings upon the sands
of the seashore, which every wave
may erase. The South has taken her
stand. It is one of dignified and pa
tientwailing. Let the worst come;
and the sooner the better, il there he
am worst yet in store for us. With a
unanimity as cheering a- it is just, the
ten Southern States will reject all fur
ther amendments of the constitution ot
our fathers. If we must live in it Un
ion with men to teach no lesson but ha
tred, it shall he under the frame-work
of a government founded by the great
and glorious patriots of the past, who
left it to us and our children as a lega
cy of liberty which Iris won the admi
ration of the civilized world. Il licit
foundation, or its superstructure be
ever again altered.it will not be by the
sons of the men who were its archi
tects and builders. Let that be the
work of vandal hands; not that of
Southern men. These last have always
loved and revered the coustitutution 01
the United States. When they aspired
to a separate government it was that
they might not live with the fanatics
who now control it. They had no ob
jection to the constitution itself; lor
they adopted it as their own, almost
word tor word. They did not think
they could much improve the work of
Madison and Hamilton. The achieve
ment was left for Stevens and Tiutler.
The South will never consent to it; and
with Kentucky, Maryland and Dele-1
ware by her side, she can but feel
proud of her position.*—[Memphis Av
