Tbe qaeelloa Is an Important one. and Involves crave and serious con roveocea. It has never arisen before la tbe history of tbe government and it is not tberefore singular Ibat conflicting views boald be entertained, though It would aeem that an rumination of tbecoustita tloa, and a little reflection, sbould satisfy very Intelligent maa tbat tbe President necessarily exercise atl tbe powers belong log to bis blfh affice nntil tbe fact Is ssUb- - Usbsd by a lair and impartial trfcl tbst be Ires coma, it ted some offense which, nndcr tbe coostitntion, authorizes and justifies bis removal. The arguments by which any other conclusion is reached, are necessarily rull of atword contradictions, and cannot be sustained by reference to tbe const it u tion, or to the intentions of those who framed that instrument. The constitution created a government with three distinct departments tbe eie- - cmtlve, tb legislative and judicial Inde pendent of each other, and supreme within their respective orbits. It also established a wise system of checks and balance, by which each of these departments was se cured against any attempt on tbe part of tlx others to invade tbe precincts of its legitimate authority. That the framers of tbe constitution believed that they bad given to each department sufficient protection Is well known, bat a moment's thought will be sufficient to show that It tbe President could be divested of kit authority by tbe mere preacntatioa ol article of impeachment, tbe executive de- partment is without any protection what- ever, and h always at tbe mercy of congressional majority. For il would only be necessary whenever Con rets found tbe President tn Its way, de- feating its unconstitutional and inexpe dient measures by the ase of tbe executive veto, to brine in articles of impeachment and pass their obnoxious measures daring tbe suspension of his powers. The trial could In such cases be indefi- nitely postponed, the charges be withdrawn, or an acquittal had. Tbe President would thea resume tbe exercise of tbe authority belonging- - to bit office, but In tbe meantime tbe meusaret referred to, and to secure tbe adoption of which he was temporarily de posed, woeid have become tbe laws of tbe sand. This would make the veto power a nullity, without vigor or efficiency, and a useless feature in tbe constitution. Indeed, the constitution and tbe government would be better without H, for if it did not exist, tbe President would not be compelled to oppose any leg- islation of Con (Tress snd no conflicts could occur between him and tbat body. But so long as It is a part or tbe constitution, and tbe President Is nndcr oath to use it in cer- tain specified eases, and its ase will tempt Congress to deprive bin temporarily of bis authority by mock Impeachments until tbe objectionable measures can be passed over bis bead, constant collisions sre possi- ble, to and tbe country will be subject to ever recurring periods of excitement and tumult, and pemapa, to bloody revolutions. The fact tbat there is such a power as tbe veto reposed in the hands of the President Is conclusive against tbe proposition tbst he can be deprived or bis authority before eon rid km, for trench were the ease It wonld amount to nothing, snd at we have shown, be worse than useless. Upon bit Induction Into office the President is required to take sn oath that be will, to tbe best of bis ability, preserve, protect and defend the consUlalioa of tbe United States, SDd the rsto power is placed In bis bands to enable bun to defend the eonslitatioo with effect against unconstitu- tional legislation by Congress. Again; It it a part of the same oath that be will faithfully execute tbe office of Presi- dent of tbe Uaited States, and as It la clear tbat be Is tbe President until be h deposed from office by conviction under tbe articles of Impeachment, it follows as aa inevitable consequence that be must execute tbe office of President nntil be is convicted and ejected from it. is Besides, It is an established principle of law, that a man must be considered inno- cent until be it pro ren to be guilty; where- as, to suppose tbe President guilty, simply because offenses are Imputed to him, before conviction, which to deprive htm of tbe rights belonging to his office would be to do, would be at war with one of tbe oldest . legal maxims and the soundest principles of justice. But she Constitution, fortunately, doe not leave tbe question in doubt. Section IT, of article IL, declares that "the Presi- dent, a Vies President, and all civil officers o( the United Slates, shall be removed from office on Impeachment for end eowne-tu- of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. It will be observed that, before tbe Pres- ident can be removed from bis office, be mast not only be im peached but be must be etmriHed. It is equally manifest that to deprive him of bis authority is fully equiv- alent to hi removal from office, lor tbe functions and powers with which tbe Pres- ident is invested are tbe very essence of tbe office and without tbem be is nothing. . If it is argned tbat though bis functions are suspended between tbe time of tbe arraign- ment of tbe President at the bar ot the Sen- ate aad tbe date of bis conviction be is sUU the President, we reply tbat bis oath requires bint to execute the office of Presi- dent so long as be is President, which again apsets the theory we are endeavoring to controvert. In any possible view in which tbe subject caa be examined it seems clear tbat tbe Pre ident cannot be divested of bis authority nntil be has been convicted ot crime and ejected from bis office. Death ot Hon. Henry C Burnett. Intelligence wss received here last even ing of tbe death of Hon. Henry C.

Vr. Burnett was born in Cad.it, Trigg county, and resided there tbe greater part of bis life. He was tbe son of Dr. Burnett who for so many years opposed Hon. Linn Boyd for Congress, air. Bur nett was, at the time of bis death, about forty four years of ape. He elected Circuit Court Clerk of Trigg conntr in August 1S50. In 1853 be became a candidate for Congress against Hon.

WHOLE NOI1,015. Jacobin Trickery. The Jacobm loaders, with tbe view of tickling their adherents, snd throwing cold water upon the friends of tbe President, put in circulation a few days since tbe absurd story that tbe President was about to modi fy bis policy to tbe extent of rtcom mend ing tbe adoption of the proposed constitu- tional amendments by the Southern States. Tbe report was promptly nipped in tbe bud by aa authorized denial It Is a well known tact that tbe President re gards these amendments as bar- ing been prepared in violation of tbe fifth article ot tbe constitution, and, as a matter of course, be would neither ap prove or recommend tbem. It is said, howev er, that there is reason to believe tbat be proposes recommending tbe admission of all tbe States, and then tbe consideration or such constitutional amendments as may be regarded as necessary. This looks very probable, sud it altogether consistent with tbe policy he has heretofore submitted to tbe people. He maintains tbat It ia not legitimate for a piece of a Congress to amend tbe whole ot a constitu tion, sud tbat only with all tbe States rep resented can amendments be properly adopted; and tbat juit as K requires three-fourt- of tbe 8tates to ratify an amend- ment to tbe constitution, so does it require a full Congress to pass one. It is a most ridiculous and palpable contradiction to say tbat the Southern States sre in the Union for some purposes snd for other pur poses not; that they are sufficiently in tbe Union to make it a necessity to submit to tbem a chance in the organic law for ratification in order to give it legalty, and at tbe same time to maintain that tbey are not tar enough in (he Union to be entitled to be represented and to vote upon tbe adoption of tbe same amendment. This is the sort of fustian and nonsense with which tbe Jacobins hope to bumbug the people, but tbe absurdity is too glaring, and will not be accepted by tbe masses as sound political truth, or as anything else thaa aa a poor excuse for the reckless use of the power entrusted to their bands. tST Ex Governor W. W. Holden, of Korih Carolina, and editor of the Raleigh Standard, and one ot the most contempti- ble snd unscrupulous politkal renegades in tbe Southern States, is out in a pamphlet, of which we have received a copy, in lavor of tbe adoption of tbe constitutional amend ment Tbe people of North Carolina know better than to follow'Holden's sdvice sbout anything. He has always exhibited such facility in getting from one side of a question to tbe other. and occasionally in being on both sides at the same time, that they bare never been able to keep up with bis eccentricities. Be baa betrayed and de- nounced every party with which be was ever connected, aod has no more regard tor principle than a Chinese or Hindoo idol He is now one of the most Intense of all Union men, and goes for tbe constitutional amendment, yet he was one of the originators of the war, was a member of tbe secession convention of bis State, and voted to take be State out ol the Union. His voice and pen were clamorous for this policy. At the close of tbe war be wa an unconditional Union man and the friend of tbe President snd bis policy, and was appointed provisional gov ernor, tie Is now s stub and twisted Ja- cobin, bowline out bis anathemas against the policy which be assisted tbe President inaugurate. He Is a fair specimen of tbe class called Southern loyalists, and his In- - uence is as small as his character is con temptible and his record inconsistent. Hf If there Is one argument of tbe Jacobins more absurd and ridiculous than another, it ia that made by tbem tbat it would not be safe to admit the Southern members without additional security. Would forty constitutional amendments accepted by tbe Southern people change their minds or mske tbem anything but what tbey are ? Would tbelr acceptance ol any possible condition relieve tbe Sutes they represent from tbclr present prostra- tion, or enable them without re- sources to strike another blow f Would their admission into tbe Union reduce tbe ability of the United States to bring them to order again as It has done before? Or would it deprive tbe government of any of its tremendous powers for offensive or de fensive warfare Tbe veriest idiot knows that it would not Tbe argument is a bare- - laced pretext, invented and employed to Justify their unconstitutional action, but it like the most of their arguments, too flimsy to deceive. 17 Tho contest waxes warm on the other side of the river. Both parties are marshaling their forces for tbe great strug gle to come off Tuesday next, and as tbe canvass goes on, both sides grow more sc ire and aggressive. We imagine, from all the information we have received, tbat tbe election will be attended with tumult In all parts of tbe State. The aoobins are overflowing with bitterness and intolerance, and are resolutely bent npon achieving a victory at any cost and by any means. Startling rumors of frauds to be perpetrated with imported voters, and tbe secret organisations ot rot flans to intimidate voters and keep tbem from tbe polls already fill the air. Tbe Democrats are determined tbat every loyal voter shall have a chance, and there is no doubt but tbat they will resist with un yielding firmness any attempts to carry tbe election by fraud. This, it is presumed. will produce collisions, but tbe prospect is tbat tbe result will be as glorious for the Democracy as It will be valuable to the cause of constitutional liberty.

As tbe idea Is held out in many quarters that the adoption of tbe constitutional amendments will secure tbe admission of tbe Southern States, and tbat no further conditions will be imposed or required it It well that tbe subject sbould be examined to see upon what ground this opinion rests. Tbe amendments are in themselves odious and oppressive, and if the people of tbe South are to accept them tbey must have some substantial equivalent for this great sacrifice of rights and prejudices. Tbey in rolve the loss of of their repre sentation in Congress, sud as a mat ter of course of tbat proportion of their political rights in tbe government Tbey have been cruelly deceived once,that was the tault of those who deceived them. If tbey are again deceived the fault will be tbeir own. The anxiety to satisfy tbem tbat tbe ratification of tbe amendments will secure their sdmlssion to the Union, shows very conclusively tbat another fraud, if possible, i to be practiced upon them. They were led to believe that if they would vote for the amendment abolishing slavery, repudi ate their Confederate debts, aad admit tbe negroes to civil rights, tbey would be promptly relieved of all tbeir disabilities and allowed full participation in tbe gov ernment Tbey gave their assent to every requirement made, and naturally expected that tbe conditions would be complied with. The manner in which tbey were de frauded is famtiiar to all. When Congress met a Central Sunta was created, npon which the entire question of jurisdic tion over tbe question of reconstruction was conferred. To this Junto everything relating to tbe subject was referred, and tbe result was the amendments now pending with an act to admit such of tbe Southern States as would accept it if it was ratified. This act was rejected and the amendments were presented to the people, unconnected with any pledge tbat tbeir adoption would advance tbe policy ot reconstruction a sin- gle step. Such papers as tbe New York Herald tell tbe people of the South that tbey will certainly be admitted npon the ratification ot the amendment, and urge tbem to vote lor it ; but tbe Herald is a new convert to tbe Jacobin cause, and is not familiar with all parts of the Radical programme. There is no security offered that such will be tbe case. Tbe grey beards of tbe Jacobin party, who are supposed to be familiar with its secrets, make no prom- ises to restore the States. Tbeir theory is tbat tbe South is prostrate at their feet and must accept any conditions tbey feel in- clined to propose. Tbey, tberefore, intend to force the amendments npon them, and adopt others more rigorous and degrading which must alfo be adopted. They forget that there is no obligation resting upon tbe Southern people to accept thc;e degrading conditions, and that there are no mean of compelling their adoption. And it is certain tbat they will not aid in tbelr own further humiliation. Tbey have nothing to gain and everything to lose by such a course. Tbey have become satisfied tbat tbe Jacobins are intent npon tbeir ruin, and they are not disposed to aid them in their nefarious work. Therefore, unless guarantees can be furnished for equivalents tor fuither sub- missions tbey will not voluntirily make tbem. What tbey may be, forced to do Is another thing. Tbey are helpless, and but for tbe noble and fearless stand of tbe Pre- sident In their behalf, would be hopeless also. It Is an old adage tbat one man can take a horse to water, but no number of men can make him drink. Thus with the Southern people. They may be compelled to submit to degradation, but tbey cannot be forced to confess it just, or to lick tbe bands tbat smite tbem. To show that tbe Jacobins have further conditions to impose, and tbat tbe accept ance of tbe amendment will not facilitate their admission to tbe Union in tbe eligbt-i- t degree, wc publ'sh some extracts from tbebr writers and speakers. Mr. Bout well, of Massachusetts, one of the Star Chamber Committee of Fifteen, and a candidate for to Congress, in a recent speech said: If the present conEressiorfal platform ex pressed the whole claim to be demanded of the boutti, it was one tbat be would not support It was well as far as it went, but It did not go ir enough. There would be no saft-t- If the South came In and these de- mands were oulv complied with. Our only security in the future was in endowing the colored loyal people of tbe South with the elective franchise, and the speaker said be did not intend to vote for the admission of either of the ten States not at present rep- resented in tbe Congress of tbe United States until impartial suffrage was secured to all the people or those States. "He believed that when tbe Thirty ninth Congress assembled In December next there would not be found five men who were identified with the Republican party who would not be in favor ot impartial suffrage tn every one of thea ten States as a con- dition precedent to their aduilbsion." Mr. Eoutwell U one of the Radical lead-er- a of Congress, and knows what be atfirms in this matter to be true. The New Tork Independent, a leading, if not tbe leading Radical journal of tbe country, in itJast issue says : "No leading Republican in Congress means to admit the ten waiting states simply on the adoption of tbe constitution- al amendment These states are to be ad- mitted on no conditions short of tin equal political rights of their loyal citizens, with- out distinction of race. A I ecoDst ruction of tbe Union on any other basis would be a national dishonor. Until tbe rebel States can come back on this basis, tbey shall not come back at all." It says further: "The Radical party, both North and South, wrufe and black, can assent to no re- construction short of impartial suffrage." "Congress has not tied its hands against the future. It is free to act as tbe emergency may require. If, next winter, it shall choose to make impartial suffrage tbe condition of restoration, it can do so. We know personally every promi- nent member of Congress, and we tnom tttat Uvt leadrrt do not mean to admit Out unad- mitted Htatra on the mere adoption of tfu mmendmrnt. Moreover, we know person ally tbe leading Radicals of tbe Republican party outside of Congress, and we know tbat they ha" no intention of making the mmendtnent the final measure of adniwdonV "iosay. therelore. with the Syracuse Republican convention, or with tbe address of tbe National Republican committee, that Congress will restore the ten watting States If these States adopt tbe amenument, is to misrepresent Utevuue." How tbe Radicals ol Congress mean to produce negro suffrage at tbe South, or ne- gro insurrections, which will bring on anarchy and civil war, is thus stated in a letter from tbe Radical acting governor of Louifiana, Welles, who writes as lbllows: That Congress will regulate all these matUra at its next session, is not a matter ior oouul its nrst amy, as I conceive, will be to pass an enabling act, prescribing bow the rebel States shall be recognized. The first preliminary to tbat end will, of course, be a convention from the people to iorm a constitution, and in electing tbat convention I consider that Congress has tbe constitutional right to say who shall vote ana wno snail not vote. when tbe convention meets, tbe power rests in that body to fix and regulate tbe basis of snffragi, the constitution tbey may adopt being submitted to Congress lor its approval "7u vndentand to be the tiroaramme of Vie EepHbliran party, and is a shorter as well as a more effectual method lor the re- dress of our grievances, than by persisting in tbe assembling of tbe convention of ISCf, as you suggest" Thus it appears that tbe South might as well stop making concessions now as at any other time. If she is forced to submit to any further outrages, tbe fault Is that of bcr enemies, snd the infamy of insulting a fallen foe belongs to tbem, but if she ac- cepts tbem and gives her assent, the depre- dation belongs to her.

We add our voice to tbe demand. There are abundant reasons for the measure, and tbe need of it is If the present emergency does not demand a recurrence of this con stitutional method of protection, It is im possible to conceive one which would. But we bold impeachment of little or ) value, indeed useless, unless tbe House, when it lays its articles of impeach- ment before the Senate, demands tbat Mr. Johnson be suspended from tbe exercu-- of Dis inactions, ana that act as presi- dent nntil Mr. Johnson is acquitted, or. in ny other result of the trial, until tbe next presidential term commences. W ithout this the constitutional provision for impeachment of the executive is a shorn. as it is, the remedy is wholly unattainable u ordinary circumstances. lint it tht Im peached president, nulike otber acensed uud impeached officers, is to be allowed to carry on his illegal schemes while on trial and until tbe senate pronounces him guilty, the whole provision is worse than useless. The true rule undoubtedly is tbat when of tbe bouse of representative pro- nounces tbe president guilty of grave mis- deeds and offers to tbe senate evidence of its accusation, tbe incumbent ceases to have o right to exercise its office nntil ac- quitted. This is tbe only construction that leaves any value in th6 constitutional clause; and when we remember bow power ful tuc executive must always be to prevent any action against himself by the house, wc see mere can De no danger in recojrnizinir it as the constitutional rule, although no ex press provision lor it is made in tbat instru- ment. Further still, we unre on the 39th Con gress, before it adjourns, it provide by law tor the assembling of the )tb Congress on the 5th day of March. 1867. A3 the con stitution now stands, the 40th Congress will not assemble till December, 1S07, thus leaving the whole term from March 4 to December 4 of that year for the President to plot treason uncontrolled by Congress. This should never be allowed. The consti tution gives Cenjrress the power to remedy Let mere be no nezicct to exercise this power and save the nation from this peril. Yc.AL.LL miLLlFS. Lincoln and Johnson. From a very able and timely speech, de livered by Eon. C. C. Langdon, of Ala- bama, in Brooklyn, we make the following iLteresling extracts : THE ASSASSINATION OF MB LINCOLN. I am well aware that the Radicals have attempted to fix upon "Southern rebels" the responsibility of instigating that atro- cious deed. I beard it charged, with terri ble emphasis, on the floor ot Congress last winter, by a distinguished member from Ohio, and, in milder lorra, by many others. J ever was accusation more cruelly unjust. I say here what I know to be true. that, bv nil intelligent and reflecting men among us, tbe death of Mr. Lincoln was looked upon as tbe greatest calamity that could, at tbat time, have befallen tbe South. THE POLICY OF MB. LINCOLN AND OF MB. JOHNSON. The Radicals are rnceasintr in their abuse of President Johnson for failing, as they allege, to carry out the policy ol Mr. I have said tbat Mr. Lincoln would have adopted a less stringent policy to- wards tbe South than has Mr. Johnson. The question will naturally, arise here. by wlmt authority do J presume to soeak for Mr. Lincoln? Strange as it may appear, have the authority, in the very words of Mr. Lincoln, uttered in the city of Rich- mond, and put iu writing by bis own band only a day or two preceding his death. I received tnem lrom tne geutieman to whom tbey were addressed a gentlemin of the purest character and the loftiest integrity an eminent jurist, who has held high posi tions in Dotu tuc Lnitea Mates an t the laic Confederate government, whose pri- vate character is a sure guarantee of the en- tire truthfulness of his statements. He met Mr. Lincoln at Hampton Roads, and suise(uently at Richmond, and 1 give you tne statement in ins own language: "Mr. Lincoln, In bis remarks at Hampton Roads in Richmond, in my hearing, declared that tbe panmount object ot his policy was to restore tbe constitution and the Union without diminution. Confiscations, pains and penalties, and laws of procription were spoken of by him and Mr. Seward in bis presence at Hampton Roads, as tire off springs of 'revolutionary passious,' tbe fiercest passions of tbe war,' wluch were to perish with the termination'of tbe war. He said in Richmond, and put it in writing that tbere were but three CONDITIONS OF PEACE. 1st The restoration of the national au thority. 2d. No cessation of hostilities till that be accomplished. 3d. No receding from bis position on tbe subject of slavery, as exposed iu his proclamations and other documents. All other questions were to be settled on terms of tbe "tiucerest liber- ality." . , these were about tbe last utterances ol Mr. Lincoln on earth. Tbey proved to be, as it were, his dying words. You will no- tice how perfectly tuey harmonize with all his previously expressed views, and with the resolution adopted by Congress. Tbere can be co doubt, then, as to what would have been Mr. Lincoln s policy, had he lived to carry it into effect, lie bad succeeded in putting down tbe rebellion; he bad ef- fected tbe abolition of slavery; tbere was no longer an armed resistance to the Na- tional uuthority; tbe war bad ceased, and all that was necessary to crown his admin istration witn resplendent glory, and cap the climax of his own tame, was the re storation of the seceding States to their former position in the Union. Tbe Uuion restored, and peace and fraternal relations among the several States so established, and his highest am bition would nave been gratitied. How speedily, and at the same time bow mildly and geutly, this result would have been at tained, may bo interred from tbe language used bv him at Hampton and Richmond. Had he lived, gentlemen, 1 hesitate not to sav, the Union would long ago have been restored on terms tar more liberal to the South than is the policy of Mr. Johnson, liberal and just as l acknowledge that policy to be. And yet Mr. Johnson is denounced as a traitor to the party tuat elected him, and to the policy ot Mr. Lincoln. STAMPER ENVELOPES FOR II (.'SIXES! MEN. A New Regulation of the Fostoffice Oepartment More Accommoda tion. From the Evening Post. A change bas been made by tbe post- - ollice department in the plans by which stamped envelops were furnished, with the name and address ol tne senders ol letters, with a request to return tbem with iu a specified time if not taken from tbe postoflice. These envelops were supplied, it w 11 be remembered, without extra charge lor printing. In this city tbe num bcr of stamped ami printed envelops used was large; tbe orders became constantly more numerous; but tbe business men com- plained that the printing, which was from common '"clarendon" type, and iu straight lines, three or tour in number, across tbe end of tbe envelope, did not suit them, and they asked lor a style ot printing tbat should ornament the envelope ana be use ful to themselves. Tbe postmaster-genera- l bas recently is sued instructions making provision for printing of business cards on envelops In any desired form or design, with requests to return letters provided that not lis than one hundred envelops arc ordered. snd tbe persons wanting tbem luroish the cuts or plates, prepared for the press, from wbich to have the printing done. Post masters are to receive tbe orders on 4he usual terms, the cost being about the value olj tbe plain envelops, with tbe addition of the amount of the required stamp. Iu this month, the number of stamped and printed envelops ordered here under the o'.i regulations will be not fur from one hundred thousand.

EST The following defense ot President Johnson, wbich appeared in a late London paper, is from tbe pen of a Kcntuckian now In Europe: PBE8IDENT JOHNSON AND HIS TBADCCEBS. TO ihe Editor Of the Tsnuln v.,;nn TY.t- - Sir In this afternoon's SUr I find an elaborate attack upon the President of the Lnited States. It is scarcely a year aince that journal pronounced Mr. Johnson one of the greatest of living statesmen, and now it turns upon him a flood of Billingsgate the more remarkable, as in tbe couciuding me euuor pompously announces that "Government by Billingsgate Is P."! jye. nd rever will be, estab- lished in the great American " exiraorainury now quiekly some writers will discover defecis in those who were formerly idols, tbe moment that a sense of duty compels their sever- - ,,y,n me policy advocated by such j. on tne brain" seems i ' i e as violent in some or its attacks in England as in America. The radical feeling, which would prompt the mobbing or buru-n- g in effigy of Governor Eyre for his course id Jamaica, is in full consonance with the radical efforts in America to excite animosi- ties, and to rule the Southern people with a rod of iron, Instead of allaving the heart- burnings of the past five veur Thr seems to be a kind of freemasonry in by which Ihe brethren are compelled, as it were, to sustain each other all the world over. The negro, with his Mack skin is an ebony idol wbich tbey worship, regardless of tbe low scale cf intellect al- ways manifested by the unfortunate crea- tures. And their philanthrnnr wii. misdirected, bids fair to cause tbe entire destruction of the black race in America before twenty years roll round. But sir, there is an in3id;ous attemot tn th .rtt.i. referred to to cast reproach npon this great nun by indirect allusion. rnlentHtort convey the impression that Mr. Johnson was intoxicated at the time of making his last eloquent sneeeh Ta If jonrnalorany sect of journalism to heap abusive language upon the head of a great """en n.uion willed should be bound to us by tbe closest and nrmi ! Is it decent to insinuate such motives or 7.1 Ule rresi"ent, whicL, ir leveled at tbe rulers of France or nthor errantries, would cause the sunr-rein- there of the journal an ifnit, ti,..,i ir " u"y becoming more widely know inai haaicalism in Eoaland would pervert iberty into license, and with rapid strides is drifting towards that Jehir,;Im - wnicu would meet honest differ- ence of opinion with brute violenoe, and if dominaut, would carry proscription w.th blood-re- hands Now, sir, there are two or three points which this writer bas over- looked. It is the faculty of some minds never to give credit to tbe generous impulses ses and high principles of other i course ol Mr. Johnson's late speech, he took occasion to remark npon the immense po wer which he could have exercised by car- rying out the views of thcConross wbich had - lrnl(ll s bureau bill, and he said, ith an army which it placed at my discretion I could have remained at the capital of tbe nation,and witita fifty or six- ty millions of appropriations at my disposal, with the machinery lobe worked by my own bauds, with my satraps and dependents in every town and village, and then with the civil rights bill following as an auxili- ary, in connection with all tbe other ap- pliances of the government, 1 could have proclaimed myself dictator." Aud the atar sneeringly nsk3, Where wonld the Ameri- can people have been? and picturea this to have been "a scene of ridiculous usurpation," and "tbe credit of bavin re- sisted the temptation to realize it" as purely "imaginery." Andrew Johnson will live in hiatory as a great and good man hun- dreds of years after this small writer is and the crowning glory of his statcsjianship will be this act, which is jeered at. During the war there was not a government upon the globe with more power concentinted in the hands of a single man. Mr. Lincoln was more omnipotent than the Czars ot Russia have ever been, and the deviations from old hibdmarka, the infringements of the constition became ao frequent and so great from the necessity or the case, that the best and wisest men, not only in America, but elsewhere, deemed it but a question of time for constitutional liberty to be extinguished in the United States, to be followed by a great military despotism erected upon its ruins. How few men mere are wno, once possessed of un- limited power, have voluntirily surrendered it and enlarged the libertiea ot their snh- - jects, is well known to all. Andrew John son s name will be inscribed npon that no- ble list The assassination of Mr. Lin- coln occurred when the American public had become accustomed to arbitrary ar- rests, when tbe habeas corpus was nowhere respected, and when a large standing army of nearly a million of men was In the field. Under pretense of governing the rebellions States, bow easy would it have been, by the selection of zealous subordinates, to control the country until the proper mo- ment could have been chosen to declare bimseir ruler for life! With tbe generals in his favor, and the army properly indoctri- nated, what chance would there have been to oppose it? No resistance could have come from the Sontb, for they had laid down their arms and had submitted. And yet as the President modestly expressed ii, ne uein power irora the people, and intended to deliver unthat trust untarnish- ed. His whole effort has been directed to the restoration of his country, not in a sectional and partisan spirit, but in that or a pure patriot, who seeks no other reward than that or an approving conscience. In spite of Ihe Radicals, he seems now to be on the road to success, and every true- - ucuncu r.ugusuuian auouiu wisn nun woa speed. He has an arduous and tiring task to accomplish. If the people sustain him, the American republic has truly overcome its vital dangers, and may escape the threat- ened fratricidal strife which some now fear. But u is singular to find the organs of rad icalism in England striking hands ith the opponents of the Ameri can government at a moment of great apprehension to the English provinces in America. The Radical party in that country are openly the advocates of Fenian- - lstn, and are iloing what they can to nrge on and aid the Irish in their unlawful attacks npon Canada.

From the New York Tnrf, Field sod Tarm, September J A bright star bas faded from tbe racing firmament Asteroid bas won bis last race. and now must retire lrom the field where bright laurels are won. Tbe pride of the v est nas broken oon, and never more will he carry the colon of Mr. Alexander to a glorious triumph. On the eve of tbe greatest turf event of modern times, by severe accident be is deprived ot the power or motion, and without a struggle must yield Via pal in of victory his illustrious rivals. In his strength snd pride, with the future looming gnnd'y before him, be te cut down in a moment like tbe flowers by a sudden frost, and with drooping crest must pass saulv from the gaze of admiring eyes to where the clonds nang neaviest and darkest His star oas set snd tb other orbs glow less brightly in tb skv, for with the radiant light o heaven faded a world of splendor. He jonineyed more than a thousand miles to meet his great rivals and put forth a noble etlort make a mighty struggle for the championship of tbe American turf. and the ink is scarcely dry that recorded ba arrival at Jerome Park, before the pen must perform tbe sad duty of reporting him uniiiL- - to appear in ine great inau.'-irauo- race. Ua was In periect nealtti a lew days a:ro, and was one of the finest pictures ot a magnificent race norse xiiat mortal eyes ever inzed npon and now he is but a wreck of bis former self. On Saturday he showed signs of lame ness, and early ou Sunday morning he was puiiea. up irnin a snort briub witu tue now er oi one iiinu. tiestroytU. He sprung me lennon or tbe right fore le so severely that he will never be able to stand the preparation for another race. Oil Thursday last thev run him a trial in the mud, galloped bun aain In the mud on rriday, and it is thougut that the sprain. which was so fully developed on Sunday. originated in one of these trials on the heavy track. The horse was in splendid condition and bis trill run was so satisfac tory that Mr. Alexander was inspired with tne greatest confidence. Had no accident occurred, he Caiuia that the winner of tbe Inauguration race would have had to have beaten Lexington's famjus four mile time by f everal seconds. On Saturday was riding him, when be pulled him up and found how severe was ihe acci- dent, dropped the reins upon tbe neck of tbe high spirited horse, and burst into tears. Man ua, we sre told, wept over the ruins of Carthage, and the poet has commemorated the act in melodious verse. Manly, then, were the tears tbat tell upon tbe mane of the great Asteriod. for eyes never wept not even tboseof Marius overs grander fall a more magnifldent wreck. All of our glo- rious anticipations, on the eve ot tbeir be- ing realized, have been destroyed. For more than a year the East bas waited to welcoms Asteroid to tbe theater or Ken- tucky's triumphs, and ere the wel- come is complete, they bid him farewell as he sadly returns to the West not with gor- geous plumage gaily flaunting in tbe wind and weaiing the badge of victory, but with drooping head and banner trailing in tbe dust. He leaves us, not like Wellington returning frem Waterloo, but like BoaodiL, the proud Moorish king, yielding up his possessions to the victorions Spaniards, and retiring from tbe regal halls of his ances- tors. He goes from us with fallen crest, but with a proud, unbroken spirit He has won his last victory upon the race course, and henceforth will revel in the delights of the h. ire in and win new victories there. He will fiod the victories of peace far sweeter than thoe of war, yet, with sadness we record bis retire- ment from the field or glorious strife. The blood of Asteriod will course through otber veins, and when we find one of his scions equaling the greatness of the sire, then, like a wandering Pleiad, we will bail another bril- liant star to reign in a constellation as bright as the Milky Way. Farewell, mighty conqueror of the West prince of royal oioou, ana aon oi a nooie sire, tnougn yon cannot wear tbe laurels of the East, your brow is crowned with a wreath of deatblesa fame; and voices that would have applauded you in the hour of victory, still applaud thy game spirit, snout - wen none, hero, ' and lips falter o er and o'er again farewell! BRXAKINa DOWN OF "ASTEEOID." From the New York Times, September J5. Great aensation was created in sportinir circles yesterday by tbe confirmation of tbe report, extensively circulated tbe day pre vious, ot tbe breaking down ot the great western racer. Asteroid, wnose anticipated meeting wits the renowned champion of the eastern turf. Kentucky, in tbe four-mil- heat race for tbe inauguration stakes, was regarded as tue most momentous event tiiat ever took place on tbe American turf. We learned from Mr. Alexander, tbe owner of Asteroid, that the horse took his exercue on Saturday, and, although he seemed a little lame on pulling up, it was not thought to be of serious importance. He waa gal- loped again on Sunday afternoon, when it was discovered that the middle tendons of bis right lore leg had given way. and his starting for the race was consequently im- - possiDie. some lew montna ago, wtule in training for tbe Saratoga cup, the sinews of the same leg, below the pastern, filled, and he was obliged to b thrown out ot training for time. The strong preparation to which he was subjected for the race of de- veloped the latent weakness of the part in question, and resulted in bis complete breakdown. Radical Treatment ef a Drunken Husband Ills Wile Tots Morphine n His Whisky HotHe and Kills 11 im. The Maine Democrat, ot Saco, gives tbe following details of the late murder of Dr. Sweat of Kennebunk, by his wife : On Sunday morning last Dr. C. M. Sweat, or Kennebunk, died from the effects ot morphine, administered by his wife. Tbe doctor, nntil within a few. years, has always sustained a good character, but in that time he bas taken to drinking, and on Sunday morning be bad a bottle of waisky hid in tbe nay in his barn, wbich he bad vis- ited two or three times before the family were up. His wife sent a little girl to find the bottle, which she found and banded to Mrs. Sweat, when she poured some powder in tbe bottle, and; alter shaking it sent the girl to replace it in the hay. Miortly after, the doctor went to the barn for a few mo- ments, and came in, after wbich he helped bis wile about making tbe fire, and Uu n went and sat down ou tbe sofa, where be soon fell asleep, never to wake. Hi wife, after finding tbat be could not be awakened, took a large dose of morphine for the pur- pose of killing herself, but was discovered in season to prevent death. Mrs. Sweat, we understand, had given her husband mor- phine two or three times previously, which had made him sick, and it was for that pur- pose that she ssys the last dose was intend- ed. Tbe case will be brought before the grand lury at the present term.. The Constitutional Amendment. The New Tork Independent" declares flatly that ".Yt bailing Republican in Congreu meant to atknit the ten maitimj kUiUt tJnply on the adoption of the tonMUtUional amendment." Whereupon the 4New Tork Times" ad mits that "Congress at Its last session refused to pass a bill for the admission of representa- tives from Southern States, even after those States sbould adopt the constitutional amendment. Thirty or forty member wi re tor excluding tbe Southern States until tbey would adopt negro autfrage, aa well as tbe constitutienal amendment Mr. Stevens, Governor Bontwell, and otber leading Republicans, concur with the inde- pendent in saying that negro suffrage will be insisted on as a condition of admission. What is the "Tribune s'' view of this sub ject?" The New Tork News npon this subject says: "Nothing the South can do, no extent to which her people could go in the way of conciliation, could influence their fate un- der Radical rule. To retain them in bond- age forever, to rule them by standing ar- mies wbich wonld keep them in subjection, and whose maintenance would establish and maintain an equally crushing despotism at the North such are the inevitable conse- quences wbich must flow from the success of the Radicals, and no one can vote their ticket who doas not desire to aid in this consummation." TBI AUEXDMEST CAS'T BB ADOPTED. Against the urgency of the Radical journals for taking the amendment, the New Tork World says : If the ten excluded States stand united. the amendment cannot be forced upon them until the number of States is In- creased to forty. True, s few years may suffice to mike. this addition; but Ken tucky and Maryland will equally decline to ratify, as tne amendment would also reduce their weight in Congress. Instead of ten States, there will, therefore, be twelve; which would require the whole number of States to be Increased to forty- - eight before the amendment could be cor ned, which will not be In this generation. Nor is it suppoaable that a great tTrt of the white population of Missouri will be permanently excluded, as at present. from their political rights. As Missouri Is uot a negro sutfage State, the party in pow- er may not choose to hasten its downfall by ratitying the amendment In that case, there would be thirteen States, and thirteen can postpone tbe adop tion of tbe amendment nntil tbe number of States is Increased to fifty-tw- w bich is greater number of Mates than we are ever likely to bare; the Territories being only nine, and the present thirty-si- States being sixteen less than fifty-tw- Even when tbe whole seven Territories shall have become States, eleven States will suf flee to defeat the amendment.

The Mingling of CnarcH mn4 fttate KBiaoasi to ilota. A .v political ia arch the (real Necessity of the Dcab Silt : It is neither cons stent with love of country nor w.th fidelity to the Church of God that true men should be si- lent, neutral, or inditferent, while these grea interests sre quaking and tottering npon their foundations. Are we, sir, either as patriot or ss christians, to stand by and see this great question touching Christ's kingdom and the safety of the State sink into the depths of the sea without aa eTort to save them. The condition ot the times bas been sueb as to enable our orponeuL to d'gnise to themselves and others the pernicious and inevitable result of tbeir conduct, and t successfully use aainst tne uecemui auil malicious cry of traitors and disloyalists. But times are chanalnz the atmospnere is clearing away, and men are beginning to appear in their true colors, and in tue deep rad calrie-- i oi their dHimi In church and state, as tbe President bas uniquely aud pointedly expressed it tbeir -- ua ieen ol tbe nature of oen- - altie, retaliation, and revenge." But the pres ii now open to the ready and able writers of the nation. n,l men are beginning to open their eyes non the fact that traitors to tue cuurcn are tae greatest traitors to the Stale: aod ta hash this nn. anrl to siDotner u any longer, has become impos- sible. That men, who, by reckless and nar- - pouey i.ave Deen corrupting iuiiiui, uU suiiLiu:r tne ioor.Li.unni of all liberty, should escape detection, expos-- uir, ,,uu tuuuruiiiaiitn, is not to De ex- pected when tbe panorama of trmti nn. folds its inexorable histories. There are men who love peace, and love it dearly, hnt not t me expense oi truia, ngoteutisnesg, aud tbe safety of their country. We do not charge tbese men with a rtirwi ana traiioroua design ot destroying our coautry and corrupting the cburcn, but we cu.irgc mem wim a wtm and 'unous frenzy wh:cu narrows and Perverts their rulnn dstorts their judgment, and reuders them a unuu auu aaogeroua element in botb church and state. Men full of frenzied fa naticism can never be trus'ed. Ion know, sir, that this rapid descent tn ministerial character beg-i- immediately at tne point where the church began to decide tbe political allegiance of States and r.eot.le and to decide the hitherto undecided politi- cal theories of statesmen. This at one failed the attention of the American peo- ple to the high political assumptions of the church. And from that day till this, weakness, contention and unconstitutional violations and blunders have been th re sult But men. faitblul to their hiirh .il- cannot afford to abandon the ehnreh nt God to the wild, fanatical purposes ot men I who attempt to appropriate the church of God to works and intentions Tor which she nas no fitness, aud which are totally oppo- site to her nature and destiny. Mo calam- ity can be greater to a country than a busy, ardent, political ministry, aod ail their os- tentatious and officious help, in tie shape or politics and parties, is still like putting out lire by attempting to drown it with Oil. With the aid of the enlightened men and true patriots of the nation, ve may trust in Gol that the younger people and ministers of this generation will live to see this ques- tion lined np so hirh that all men, in church and State, shall see it so distinctly as to acknowledge ita essential necessity to the life, safety and perpetuity of our nation. This question K sir. vital to tbe eboreb, but not to the church alone. It is vita to the State, and it is amazing that statesmen should give so little atten- tion to a subject in the very highest respect worthy of their most anxious investigation, and which commanded the deepest regard ot onr great political fath- ers. As long as hotheaded, belligerent prearhers can find their ambition gratified and their applause going forth upon winds, while they are preaching politics and work ing the conrtsof tbejehnrch :orthe purposes of ar. pontics ana nortest part.sanship. neither eboreb nor country can repose upon tbe foundations of safety. Every true friend of his country ia there- fore profoundly interested In the way In which this question may turn. If all the fierce and fiery edicts itsued by church courts d ruing tbe late war, and It the spirit manifested by them since together with the bloody speeches aod stormy displays of passion, are to be drown into precedent and prestige to eonstitnte tbe public seutinvnt ol coming times, then may the country bid denanre to peace and the chnrch bid farewell to her glory. And what we want now, sir, is not only that tbe fljods shall be stayed, but tbat tbe embankments of trulh and righteousness shall be raised so high, and fouude l so se- curely, that no future floods shall over- whelm them nor pass tbeir boundaries to the desolation of any great interest politi- cal or ecclesiastical. 1 But there is no greater danger and no strootrer evidence of it tbun the determina- tion 1 still to deiend, uphold, and perpetuate the military and political acts of church courts and to regard them as assurance and splendor of fime In times to come. This proves that these acts were not the result of mere temporary excitement but that they I express a settled determination to impart to tbe church the character of war, poiitics and worUI'.iness, This, sir, makes her a poor, shifting, chafing, snd changeful affair, liable to al the mutations of states, nations, parties and policies of the world. And shall the real friends of national and ecclesiastical stabil- ity, purity, prosperity, and honor, stand I still and see this work of satan proceed without an honest and earnest effort to stay I its progress? The church and tbe State are all tbe heritage we have on earth. Their value to us, therefore, is beyond all price. And If we would leave an in- heritance to the future of Infinite value, we mu't leave a Church snd State working harmoniously and supportingly side by side, but ever and sacredly apart But, sir, if we wish to break down the power of the church and to destroy her moral Influence over the people; if we wish to leave the nation without moral prin- ciple and aapport. then let us aid these men with whatever of strength we have. Let us fill our seminaries aud pulpits with polities. Let the terms of church membership be based upon the political opinions of parties, and let men be pun- ished for their political views any sympa- thies by taking away their church property. Let ns hold up the church to tbe world aa a great political power to decide the political allegiance of parties, to determine the political theories of statesmen, and to decide infallably the right and the wrong of martial and politi- cal conflicts. Or if we wish simply to take our ease and float with the current, let ns count the value of brick and mortar and tbe inconvenience of being disturbed in our church relations. Let us follow the pro- gressive order of things. Let us no longer think or set as if Church and State were different Let us show to the world that the church Is a war power and not a peace power; that Christ was mistaken when he said hi kingdom was not of this world; that be is no longer tbe prince of peace, but tte god of war, and always on our side of politics, w being judge. tot ot or ArrzAUi.

roveocea. It has never arisen beforela tbe history of tbe government and it isnot tberefore singular Ibat conflicting viewsboald be entertained, though It would
aeem that an rumination of tbecoustitatloa, and a little reflection, sbould satisfy
very Intelligent maa tbat tbe Presidentnecessarily exercise atl tbe powers belonglog to bis blfh affice nntil tbe fact Is ssUb--
Usbsd by a lair and impartial trfcl tbst beIres coma, it ted some offense which, nndcrtbe coostitntion, authorizes and justifies bisremoval. The arguments by which anyother conclusion is reached, are necessarilyrull of atword contradictions, and cannotbe sustained by reference to tbe const it ution, or to the intentions of those whoframed that instrument.
The constitution created a governmentwith three distinct departments tbe eie--
cmtlve, tb legislative and judicial Independent of each other, and supreme withintheir respective orbits. It also establisheda wise system of checks and balance, bywhich each of these departments was secured against any attempt on tbe part oftlx others to invade tbe precincts of itslegitimate authority. That the framers oftbe constitution believed that they badgiven to each department sufficientprotection Is well known, bat a moment'sthought will be sufficient to showthat It tbe President could be divested ofkit authority by tbe mere preacntatioa olarticle of impeachment, tbe executive de-
partment is without any protection what-ever, and h always at tbe mercy of
congressional majority. For ilwould only be necessary whenever Con
rets found tbe President tn Its way, de-
feating its unconstitutional and inexpedient measures by the ase of tbe executiveveto, to brine in articles of impeachmentand pass their obnoxious measures daringtbe suspension of his powers. Thetrial could In such cases be indefi-
nitely postponed, the charges be withdrawn,or an acquittal had. Tbe President wouldthea resume tbe exercise of tbe authoritybelonging- - to bit office, but In tbe meantimetbe meusaret referred to, and to secure tbeadoption of which he was temporarily deposed, woeid have become tbe laws of tbesand. This would make the veto power anullity, without vigor or efficiency, and auseless feature in tbe constitution. Indeed,the constitution and tbe governmentwould be better without H, for if itdid not exist, tbe President wouldnot be compelled to oppose any leg-islation of Con (Tress snd no conflicts couldoccur between him and tbat body. But solong as It is a part or tbe constitution, andtbe President Is nndcr oath to use it in cer-
tain specified eases, and its ase will temptCongress to deprive bin temporarily of bisauthority by mock Impeachments untiltbe objectionable measures can be passedover bis bead, constant collisions sre possi-
ble,to
and tbe country will be subject to everrecurring periods of excitement and tumult,and pemapa, to bloody revolutions.
The fact tbat there is such a power as tbeveto reposed in the hands of the PresidentIs conclusive against tbe proposition tbsthe can be deprived or bis authority beforeeon rid km, for trench were the ease It wonldamount to nothing, snd at we have shown,be worse than useless.
Upon bit Induction Into office thePresident is required to take sn oath thatbe will, to tbe best of bis ability, preserve,protect and defend the consUlalioa of tbeUnited States, SDd the rsto power is placedIn bis bands to enable bun to defend theeonslitatioo with effect against unconstitu-tional legislation by Congress.
Again; It it a part of the same oath thatbe will faithfully execute tbe office of Presi-
dent of tbe Uaited States, and as It la cleartbat be Is tbe President until be h deposedfrom office by conviction under tbe articlesof Impeachment, it follows as aa inevitableconsequence that be must execute tbeoffice of President nntil be is convicted andejected from it. is
Besides, It is an established principle oflaw, that a man must be considered inno-
cent until be it pro ren to be guilty; where-as, to suppose tbe President guilty, simplybecause offenses are Imputed to him, beforeconviction, which to deprive htm of tberights belonging to his office would be todo, would be at war with one of tbe oldest
. legal maxims and the soundest principles ofjustice.
But she Constitution, fortunately, doenot leave tbe question in doubt. SectionIT, of article IL, declares that "the Presi-dent,
aVies President, and all civil officers
o( the United Slates, shall be removedfrom office on Impeachment for end eowne-tu-
of treason, bribery, or other highcrimes and misdemeanors.
It will be observed that, before tbe Pres-
ident can be removed from bis office, bemast not only be im peached but be mustbe etmriHed. It is equally manifest that todeprive him of bis authority is fully equiv-
alent to hi removal from office, lor tbefunctions and powers with which tbe Pres-ident is invested are tbe very essence of tbeoffice and without tbem be is nothing. . Ifit is argned tbat though bis functions aresuspended between tbe time of tbe arraign-ment of tbe President at the bar ot the Sen-
ate aad tbe date of bis conviction be issUU the President, we reply tbat bis oathrequires bint to execute the office of Presi-dent so long as be is President, which againapsets the theory we are endeavoring tocontrovert.
In any possible view in which tbe subjectcaa be examined it seems clear tbat tbe Preident cannot be divested of bis authoritynntil be has been convicted ot crime andejected from bis office.

Jacobin Trickery.The Jacobm loaders, with tbe view of
tickling their adherents, snd throwing coldwater upon the friends of tbe President, putin circulation a few days since tbe absurdstory that tbe President was about to modify bis policy to tbe extent of rtcom mending tbe adoption of the proposed constitu-tional amendments by the Southern States.Tbe report was promptly nipped in tbebud by aa authorized denial It Is a wellknown tact that tbe President regards these amendments as bar-
ing been prepared in violation of tbefifth article ot tbe constitution, and, asa matter of course, be would neither approve or recommend tbem. It is said, however, that there is reason to believe tbat beproposes recommending tbe admission ofall tbe States, and then tbe considerationor such constitutional amendments as maybe regarded as necessary. This looks veryprobable, sud it altogether consistent withtbe policy he has heretofore submitted totbe people. He maintains tbat Itia not legitimate for a piece of aCongress to amend tbe whole ot a constitution, sud tbat only with all tbe States represented can amendments be properlyadopted; and tbat juit as K requires three-fourt-
of tbe 8tates to ratify an amend-
ment to tbe constitution, so does it requirea full Congress to pass one. It is a mostridiculous and palpable contradiction tosay tbat the Southern States sre in theUnion for some purposes snd for other purposes not; that they are sufficiently in tbeUnion to make it a necessity to submitto tbem a chance in the organiclaw for ratification in order togive it legalty, and at tbe same time tomaintain that tbey are not tar enough in(he Union to be entitled to be representedand to vote upon tbe adoption of tbe sameamendment. This is the sort of fustianand nonsense with which tbe Jacobins hopeto bumbug the people, but tbe absurdityis too glaring, and will not be accepted bytbe masses as sound political truth, or asanything else thaa aa a poor excuse forthe reckless use of the power entrusted totheir bands.
tST Ex Governor W. W. Holden, ofKorih Carolina, and editor of the RaleighStandard, and one ot the most contempti-ble snd unscrupulous politkal renegades intbe Southern States, is out in a pamphlet,of which we have received a copy, in lavorof tbe adoption of tbe constitutional amendment Tbe people of North Carolina knowbetter than to follow'Holden's sdvice sboutanything. He has always exhibited suchfacility in getting from oneside of a question to tbe other.and occasionally in being onboth sides at the same time, that theybare never been able to keep up with biseccentricities. Be baa betrayed and de-
nounced every party with which be wasever connected, aod has no more regard torprinciple than a Chinese or Hindoo idolHe is now one of the most Intense of allUnion men, and goes for tbe constitutionalamendment, yet he was one of the originatorsof the war, was a member of tbe secessionconvention of bis State, and voted to takebe State out ol the Union. His voice and pen
were clamorous for this policy. At the closeof tbe war be wa an unconditional Unionman and the friend of tbe President snd bispolicy, and was appointed provisional governor, tie Is now s stub and twisted Ja-
cobin, bowline out bis anathemas againstthe policy which be assisted tbe President
inaugurate. He Is a fair specimen of tbeclass called Southern loyalists, and his In- -
uence is as small as his character is contemptible and his record inconsistent.
Hf If there Is one argument of tbeJacobins more absurd and ridiculous thananother, it ia that made by tbem tbat itwould not be safe to admit the Southernmembers without additional security.Would forty constitutional amendmentsaccepted by tbe Southern people changetheir minds or mske tbem anything butwhat tbey are ? Would tbelr acceptance olany possible condition relieve tbe Sutesthey represent from tbclr present prostra-tion, or enable them without re-
sources to strike another blow f Wouldtheir admission into tbe Union reducetbe ability of the United States to bringthem to order again as It has done before? Orwould it deprive tbe government of any ofits tremendous powers for offensive or defensive warfare Tbe veriest idiot knowsthat it would not Tbe argument is a bare- -
laced pretext, invented and employed toJustify their unconstitutional action, but it
like the most of their arguments, tooflimsy to deceive.
17 Tho contest waxes warm on theother side of the river. Both parties aremarshaling their forces for tbe great struggle to come off Tuesday next, and as tbecanvass goes on, both sides grow more scire and aggressive. We imagine, from all
the information we have received, tbat tbeelection will be attended with tumult In
all parts of tbe State. The aoobins areoverflowing with bitterness and intolerance,and are resolutely bent npon achieving a
victory at any cost and by any means.Startling rumors of frauds to beperpetrated with imported voters,and tbe secret organisations ot rotflans to intimidate voters and keep tbemfrom tbe polls already fill the air. TbeDemocrats are determined tbat every loyalvoter shall have a chance, and there is nodoubt but tbat they will resist with unyielding firmness any attempts to carry tbeelection by fraud. This, it is presumed.will produce collisions, but tbe prospect istbat tbe result will be as glorious for theDemocracy as It will be valuable to thecause of constitutional liberty.

M ill the A dod ion ot the Constitntionnl Amendments Secure the Admission ot the Southern States?As tbe idea Is held out in many quarters
that the adoption of tbe constitutionalamendments will secure tbe admission oftbe Southern States, and tbat no furtherconditions will be imposed or required itIt well that tbe subject sbould be examinedto see upon what ground this opinion rests.Tbe amendments are in themselves odiousand oppressive, and if the people of tbeSouth are to accept them tbey must havesome substantial equivalent for this greatsacrifice of rights and prejudices. Tbey inrolve the loss of of their representation in Congress, sud as a matter of course of tbat proportion of theirpolitical rights in tbe government Tbeyhave been cruelly deceived once,that was thetault of those who deceived them. If tbeyare again deceived the fault will be tbeirown. The anxiety to satisfy tbem tbat tberatification of tbe amendments will securetheir sdmlssion to the Union, shows veryconclusively tbat another fraud, if possible,i to be practiced upon them. They wereled to believe that if they would vote forthe amendment abolishing slavery, repudiate their Confederate debts, aad admit tbenegroes to civil rights, tbey would bepromptly relieved of all tbeir disabilitiesand allowed full participation in tbe government Tbey gave their assent to everyrequirement made, and naturally expectedthat tbe conditions would be complied with.The manner in which tbey were defrauded is famtiiar to all. WhenCongress met a Central Sunta was created,npon which the entire question of jurisdiction over tbe question of reconstructionwas conferred. To this Junto everythingrelating to tbe subject was referred, and tberesult was the amendments now pendingwith an act to admit such of tbe SouthernStates as would accept it if it was ratified.This act was rejected and the amendmentswere presented to the people, unconnectedwith any pledge tbat tbeir adoption wouldadvance tbe policy ot reconstruction a sin-
gle step. Such papers as tbe New YorkHerald tell tbe people of the South thattbey will certainly be admitted npon theratification ot the amendment, andurge tbem to vote lor it ; but tbe Heraldis a new convert to tbe Jacobin cause, andis not familiar with all parts of the Radicalprogramme. There is no security offeredthat such will be tbe case. Tbe grey beardsof tbe Jacobin party, who are supposed tobe familiar with its secrets, make no prom-
ises to restore the States. Tbeir theory istbat tbe South is prostrate at their feet andmust accept any conditions tbey feel in-
clined to propose. Tbey, tberefore, intendto force the amendments npon them, andadopt others more rigorous and degradingwhich must alfo be adopted. They forgetthat there is no obligation resting upon tbeSouthern people to accept thc;e degradingconditions, and that there are nomean of compelling their adoption.And it is certain tbat they will notaid in tbelr own further humiliation.Tbey have nothing to gain andeverything to lose by such a course. Tbeyhave become satisfied tbat tbe Jacobins areintent npon tbeir ruin, and they are notdisposed to aid them in their nefariouswork. Therefore, unless guarantees can befurnished for equivalents tor fuither sub-
missions tbey will not voluntirily maketbem. What tbey may be, forced to do Is
another thing. Tbey are helpless, and butfor tbe noble and fearless stand of tbe Pre-
sident In their behalf, would be hopelessalso. It Is an old adage tbat one man cantake a horse to water, but no number ofmen can make him drink. Thus with theSouthern people. They may be compelledto submit to degradation, but tbey cannotbe forced to confess it just, or to lick tbebands tbat smite tbem.
To show that tbe Jacobins have furtherconditions to impose, and tbat tbe acceptance of tbe amendment will not facilitatetheir admission to tbe Union in tbe eligbt-i- t
degree, wc publ'sh some extracts fromtbebr writers and speakers.
Mr. Bout well, of Massachusetts, one ofthe Star Chamber Committee of Fifteen,and a candidate for to Congress,in a recent speech said:
If the present conEressiorfal platform expressed the whole claim to be demanded ofthe boutti, it was one tbat be would notsupport It was well as far as it went, butIt did not go ir enough. There would beno saft-t- If the South came In and these de-mands were oulv complied with. Our onlysecurity in the future was in endowing thecolored loyal people of tbe South with theelective franchise, and the speaker said bedid not intend to vote for the admission ofeither of the ten States not at present rep-resented in tbe Congress of tbe UnitedStates until impartial suffrage was securedto all the people or those States.
"He believed that when tbe Thirty ninthCongress assembled In December next therewould not be found five men who wereidentified with the Republican party whowould not be in favor ot impartial suffragetn every one of thea ten States as a con-dition precedent to their aduilbsion."
Mr. Eoutwell U one of the Radical lead-er- a
of Congress, and knows what be atfirmsin this matter to be true.
The New Tork Independent, a leading,if not tbe leading Radical journal of tbecountry, in itJast issue says :
"No leading Republican in Congressmeans to admit the ten waiting statessimply on the adoption of tbe constitution-al amendment These states are to be ad-
mitted on no conditions short of tin equalpolitical rights of their loyal citizens, with-out distinction of race. A I ecoDst ructionof tbe Union on any other basis would bea national dishonor. Until tbe rebel Statescan come back on this basis, tbey shall notcome back at all."
It says further:"The Radical party, both North and
South, wrufe and black, can assent to no re-
construction short of impartial suffrage.""Congress has not tied its
hands against the future. It is free to actas tbe emergency may require. If, nextwinter, it shall choose to make impartialsuffrage tbe condition of restoration, it cando so. We know personally every promi-nent member of Congress, and we tnom tttatUvt leadrrt do not mean to admit Out unad-mitted Htatra on the mere adoption of tfummendmrnt. Moreover, we know personally tbe leading Radicals of tbe Republicanparty outside of Congress, and we knowtbat they ha" no intention of making themmendtnent the final measure of adniwdonV
"iosay. therelore. with theSyracuse Republican convention, or withtbe address of tbe National Republicancommittee, that Congress will restore theten watting States If these States adopt tbeamenument, is to misrepresent Utevuue."
How tbe Radicals ol Congress mean toproduce negro suffrage at tbe South, or ne-
gro insurrections, which will bring onanarchy and civil war, is thus stated in aletter from tbe Radical acting governor ofLouifiana, Welles, who writes as lbllows:
That Congress will regulate all thesematUra at its next session, is not a matterior oouul its nrst amy, as I conceive,will be to pass an enabling act, prescribingbow the rebel States shall be recognized.The first preliminary to tbat end will, ofcourse, be a convention from the people toiorm a constitution, and in electing tbatconvention I consider that Congress has tbeconstitutional right to say who shall voteana wno snail not vote.
when tbe convention meets, tbe powerrests in that body to fix and regulate tbebasis of snffragi, the constitution tbey mayadopt being submitted to Congress lor itsapproval
"7u vndentand to be the tiroarammeof Vie EepHbliran party, and is a shorter aswell as a more effectual method lor the re-dress of our grievances, than by persistingin tbe assembling of tbe convention of ISCf,as you suggest"
Thus it appears that tbe South might aswell stop making concessions now as at anyother time. If she is forced to submit toany further outrages, tbe fault Is that ofbcr enemies, snd the infamy of insulting afallen foe belongs to tbem, but if she ac-
cepts tbem and gives her assent, the depre-
dation belongs to her.

Demands by Wendell Phillins
The Radical Plan Foreshadowed.
From the Standard.The House of Ilenrestntatives is nrced to
impeach President Johnson. We add ourvoice to tbe demand. There are abundantreasons for the measure, and tbe need of itis If the present emergencydoes not demand a recurrence of this constitutional method of protection, It is impossible to conceive one which would.
But we bold impeachment of little or) value, indeed useless, unless tbe
House, when it lays its articles of impeach-ment before the Senate, demands tbat Mr.Johnson be suspended from tbe exercu-- ofDis inactions, ana that act as presi-dent nntil Mr. Johnson is acquitted, or. in
ny other result of the trial, until tbe nextpresidential term commences.
W ithout this the constitutional provisionfor impeachment of the executive is a shorn.as it is, the remedy is wholly unattainableu ordinary circumstances. lint it tht Im
peached president, nulike otber acenseduud impeached officers, is to be allowed tocarry on his illegal schemes while on trialand until tbe senate pronounces him guilty,the whole provision is worse than useless.The true rule undoubtedly is tbat when
of tbe bouse of representative pro-nounces tbe president guilty of grave mis-deeds and offers to tbe senate evidence ofits accusation, tbe incumbent ceases tohave o right to exercise its office nntil ac-quitted. This is tbe only construction thatleaves any value in th6 constitutionalclause; and when we remember bow powerful tuc executive must always be to preventany action against himself by the house, wcsee mere can De no danger in recojrnizinir itas the constitutional rule, although no express provision lor it is made in tbat instru-ment.
Further still, we unre on the 39th Congress, before it adjourns, it provide by lawtor the assembling of the )tb Congress onthe 5th day of March. 1867. A3 the constitution now stands, the 40th Congresswill not assemble till December, 1S07, thusleaving the whole term from March 4 toDecember 4 of that year for the President toplot treason uncontrolled by Congress.This should never be allowed. The constitution gives Cenjrress the power to remedy
Let mere be no nezicct to exercise thispower and save the nation from this peril.

Lincoln and Johnson.From a very able and timely speech, de
livered by Eon. C. C. Langdon, of Ala-
bama, in Brooklyn, we make the followingiLteresling extracts :
THE ASSASSINATION OF MB LINCOLN.I am well aware that the Radicals have
attempted to fix upon "Southern rebels"the responsibility of instigating that atro-cious deed. I beard it charged, with terrible emphasis, on the floor ot Congress lastwinter, by a distinguished member fromOhio, and, in milder lorra, by many others.J ever was accusation more cruelly unjust.I say here what I know to be true. that, bvnil intelligent and reflecting men among us,tbe death of Mr. Lincoln was looked uponas tbe greatest calamity that could, at tbattime, have befallen tbe South.THE POLICY OF MB. LINCOLN AND OF MB.
JOHNSON.
The Radicals are rnceasintr in their abuseof President Johnson for failing, as theyallege, to carry out the policy ol Mr.
I have said tbat Mr. Lincoln wouldhave adopted a less stringent policy to-wards tbe South than has Mr. Johnson.The question will naturally, arise here.by wlmt authority do J presume to soeakfor Mr. Lincoln? Strange as it may appear,
have the authority, in the very words ofMr. Lincoln, uttered in the city of Rich-mond, and put iu writing by bis own bandonly a day or two preceding his death. Ireceived tnem lrom tne geutieman to whomtbey were addressed a gentlemin of thepurest character and the loftiest integrityan eminent jurist, who has held high positions in Dotu tuc Lnitea Mates an t thelaic Confederate government, whose pri-vate character is a sure guarantee of the en-
tire truthfulness of his statements. Hemet Mr. Lincoln at Hampton Roads, andsuise(uently at Richmond, and 1 give youtne statement in ins own language:
"Mr. Lincoln, In bis remarks at HamptonRoads in Richmond, in my hearing, declaredthat tbe panmount object ot his policy wasto restore tbe constitution and the Unionwithout diminution. Confiscations, painsand penalties, and laws of procriptionwere spoken of by him and Mr. Seward inbis presence at Hampton Roads, as tire offsprings of 'revolutionary passious,' tbefiercest passions of tbe war,' wluch were
to perish with the termination'of tbe war.He said in Richmond, and put it in writingthat tbere were but three
CONDITIONS OF PEACE.
1st The restoration of the national authority. 2d. No cessation of hostilities tillthat be accomplished. 3d. No recedingfrom bis position on tbe subject of slavery,as exposed iu his proclamations and otherdocuments. All other questions were to besettled on terms of tbe "tiucerest liber-ality." . ,
these were about tbe last utterances olMr. Lincoln on earth. Tbey proved to be,as it were, his dying words. You will no-tice how perfectly tuey harmonize with allhis previously expressed views, and withthe resolution adopted by Congress. Tberecan be co doubt, then, as to what wouldhave been Mr. Lincoln s policy, had he livedto carry it into effect, lie bad succeededin putting down tbe rebellion; he bad ef-
fected tbe abolition of slavery; tbere wasno longer an armed resistance to the Na-tional uuthority; tbe war bad ceased, andall that was necessary to crown his administration witn resplendent glory, and capthe climax of his own tame, was the restoration of the seceding States totheir former position in the Union.Tbe Uuion restored, and peaceand fraternal relations among the severalStates so established, and his highest ambition would nave been gratitied. Howspeedily, and at the same time bow mildlyand geutly, this result would have been attained, may bo interred from tbe languageused bv him at Hampton and Richmond.Had he lived, gentlemen, 1 hesitate not tosav, the Union would long ago have beenrestored on terms tar more liberal to theSouth than is the policy of Mr. Johnson,liberal and just as l acknowledge that policyto be. And yet Mr. Johnson is denouncedas a traitor to the party tuat elected him,and to the policy ot Mr. Lincoln.
STAMPER ENVELOPES FORII (.'SIXES! MEN.
A New Regulation of the FostofficeOepartment More Accommodation.
From the Evening Post.A change bas been made by tbe post- -
ollice department in the plans by whichstamped envelops were furnished, withthe name and address ol tne senders olletters, with a request to return tbem withiu a specified time if not taken from tbepostoflice. These envelops were supplied,it w 11 be remembered, without extracharge lor printing. In this city tbe numbcr of stamped ami printed envelops usedwas large; tbe orders became constantlymore numerous; but tbe business men com-plained that the printing, which was fromcommon '"clarendon" type, and iu straightlines, three or tour in number, across tbeend of tbe envelope, did not suit them, andthey asked lor a style ot printing tbatshould ornament the envelope ana be useful to themselves.
Tbe postmaster-genera- l bas recently issued instructions making provision forprinting of business cards on envelops Inany desired form or design, with requeststo return letters provided that not listhan one hundred envelops arc ordered.snd tbe persons wanting tbem luroish thecuts or plates, prepared for the press, fromwbich to have the printing done. Postmasters are to receive tbe orders on 4heusual terms, the cost being about the valueolj tbe plain envelops, with tbe addition ofthe amount of the required stamp.
Iu this month, the number of stampedand printed envelops ordered here underthe o'.i regulations will be not fur from onehundred thousand.

Sir In this afternoon's SUr I find anelaborate attack upon the President of theLnited States. It is scarcely a year aincethat journal pronounced Mr. Johnson oneof the greatest of living statesmen, and nowit turns upon him a flood of Billingsgatethe more remarkable, as in tbe couciuding
me euuor pompously announcesthat "Government by Billingsgate IsP."! jye. nd rever will be, estab-lished in the great American

j. on tne brain" seemsi ' i e as violent in some or its attacks inEngland as in America. The radical feeling,which would prompt the mobbing or buru-n- g
in effigy of Governor Eyre for his courseid Jamaica, is in full consonance with theradical efforts in America to excite animosi-ties, and to rule the Southern people with arod of iron, Instead of allaving the heart-burnings of the past five veur Thrseems to be a kind of freemasonry in
by which Ihe brethren are compelled,as it were, to sustain each other all theworld over. The negro, with his Mackskin is an ebony idol wbich tbey worship,regardless of tbe low scale cf intellect al-ways manifested by the unfortunate crea-tures. And their philanthrnnr wii.misdirected, bids fair to cause tbe entiredestruction of the black race in Americabefore twenty years roll round. But sir,there is an in3id;ous attemot tn th .rtt.i.referred to to cast reproach npon this greatnun by indirect allusion. rnlentHtortconvey the impression that Mr. Johnsonwas intoxicated at the time of making hislast eloquent sneeeh Ta Ifjonrnalorany sect of journalism to heapabusive language upon the head of a great
"""en n.uion willed should be boundto us by tbe closest and nrmi !
Is it decent to insinuate such motives or7.1 Ule rresi"ent, whicL, ir leveledat tbe rulers of France or nthor
errantries, would cause the sunr-rein-
there of the journal an ifnit, ti,..,iir " u"y becoming more widely knowinai haaicalism in Eoaland would pervertiberty into license, and with rapid stridesis drifting towards that Jehir,;Im -
wnicu would meet honest differ-ence of opinion with brute violenoe, andif dominaut, would carry proscription w.thblood-re- hands Now, sir, there are twoor three points which this writer bas over-looked. It is the faculty of some mindsnever to give credit to tbe generous impulsesses and high principles of other icourse ol Mr. Johnson's late speech, hetook occasion to remark npon the immensepo wer which he could have exercised by car-rying out the views of thcConross wbich had
- lrnl(ll s bureau bill, and hesaid, ith an army which it placed at mydiscretion I could have remained at thecapital of tbe nation,and witita fifty or six-ty millions of appropriations at my disposal,with the machinery lobe worked by myown bauds, with my satraps and dependentsin every town and village, and then withthe civil rights bill following as an auxili-ary, in connection with all tbe other ap-pliances of the government, 1 could haveproclaimed myself dictator." Aud the atarsneeringly nsk3, Where wonld the Ameri-can people have been? and picturea thisto have been "a scene of ridiculoususurpation," and "tbe credit of bavin re-sisted the temptation to realize it" as purely"imaginery." Andrew Johnson will livein hiatory as a great and good man hun-dreds of years after this small writer is
and the crowning glory of hisstatcsjianship will be this act, whichis jeered at. During the war there was nota government upon the globe with morepower concentinted in the hands of a singleman. Mr. Lincoln was more omnipotentthan the Czars ot Russia have ever been,and the deviations from old hibdmarka, theinfringements of the constition became aofrequent and so great from the necessity orthe case, that the best and wisest men, notonly in America, but elsewhere, deemed itbut a question of time for constitutionalliberty to be extinguished in the UnitedStates, to be followed by a great militarydespotism erected upon its ruins. How fewmen mere are wno, once possessed of un-limited power, have voluntirily surrenderedit and enlarged the libertiea ot their snh- -jects, is well known to all. Andrew Johnson s name will be inscribed npon that no-ble list The assassination of Mr. Lin-coln occurred when the American publichad become accustomed to arbitrary ar-rests, when tbe habeas corpus was nowhererespected, and when a large standing armyof nearly a million of men was In the field.Under pretense of governing the rebellionsStates, bow easy would it have been, bythe selection of zealous subordinates, tocontrol the country until the proper mo-ment could have been chosen to declarebimseir ruler for life! With tbe generals inhis favor, and the army properly indoctri-nated, what chance would there have beento oppose it? No resistance could havecome from the Sontb, for they had laiddown their arms and had submitted. Andyet as the President modestly expressedii, ne uein power irora the people, andintended to deliver unthat trust untarnish-ed. His whole effort has been directedto the restoration of his country, not in asectional and partisan spirit, but in that ora pure patriot, who seeks no other rewardthan that or an approving conscience. Inspite of Ihe Radicals, he seems now to beon the road to success, and every true- -ucuncu r.ugusuuian auouiu wisn nun woaspeed. He has an arduous and tiring taskto accomplish. If the people sustain him,the American republic has truly overcomeits vital dangers, and may escape the threat-ened fratricidal strife which some now fear.But u is singular to find the organs of radicalism in England striking hands
ith the opponents of the American government at a moment ofgreat apprehension to the English provincesin America. The Radical party in thatcountry are openly the advocates of Fenian- -lstn, and are iloing what they can to nrge onand aid the Irish in their unlawful attacksnpon Canada. Their leaders have beenload in their denunciation of England, andb ive even descended so low as to attack thereputation of our honored Queen in tbemost scurrilous manner. And vet this un- -English journal can aid the enemies ofCngland In their attacks upon PresidentJohnson, who has already, like a true andupngni statesman, executed the laws of hiscountry, snd foiled the movement which,last June, would have precipitated 50,000Fenians, well organized and armed, uponthe soil of Canada. Well may we demand,in view of such coalitions, what shall wesee next
I have tbe honor to be.Your obedient servant,

A bright star bas faded from tbe racingfirmament Asteroid bas won bis last race.and now must retire lrom the field wherebright laurels are won. Tbe pride of thev est nas broken oon, and never morewill he carry the colon of Mr. Alexanderto a glorious triumph. On the eve of tbegreatest turf event of modern times, bysevere accident be is deprived ot the poweror motion, and without a strugglemust yield Via pal in of victoryhis illustrious rivals. In his strengthsnd pride, with the future looming gnnd'ybefore him, be te cut down in a momentlike tbe flowers by a sudden frost, and withdrooping crest must pass saulv from thegaze of admiring eyes to where the clondsnang neaviest and darkest His star oasset snd tb other orbs glow less brightlyin tb skv, for with the radiant light oheaven faded a world of splendor. Hejonineyed more than a thousand miles tomeet his great rivals and put forth a nobleetlort make a mighty struggle for thechampionship of tbe American turf.and the ink is scarcely dry thatrecorded b a arrival at JeromePark, before the pen must perform tbe sadduty of reporting him uniiiL- - to appear inine great inau.'-irauo- race. Ua was Inperiect nealtti a lew days a:ro, and was oneof the finest pictures ot a magnificent racenorse xiiat mortal eyes ever inzed nponand now he is but a wreck of bis formerself. On Saturday he showed signs of lameness, and early ou Sunday morning he waspuiiea. up irnin a snort briub witu tue nower oi one iiinu. tiestroytU. He sprungme lennon or tbe right fore leso severely that he will never be ableto stand the preparation for another race.Oil Thursday last thev run him a trial inthe mud, galloped bun aain In the mud onrriday, and it is thougut that the sprain.which was so fully developed on Sunday.originated in one of these trials on theheavy track. The horse was in splendidcondition and bis trill run was so satisfactory that Mr. Alexander was inspired withtne greatest confidence. Had no accidentoccurred, he Caiuia that the winner of tbeInauguration race would have had to havebeaten Lexington's famjus four miletime by f everal seconds. On Saturday
was riding him, when be pulledhim up and found how severe was ihe acci-dent, dropped the reins upon tbe neck oftbe high spirited horse, and burst into tears.Man ua, we sre told, wept over the ruins ofCarthage, and the poet has commemoratedthe act in melodious verse. Manly, then,were the tears tbat tell upon tbe mane of thegreat Asteriod. for eyes never wept noteven tboseof Marius overs grander falla more magnifldent wreck. All of our glo-rious anticipations, on the eve ot tbeir be-ing realized, have been destroyed. Formore than a year the East bas waited towelcoms Asteroid to tbe theater or Ken-tucky's triumphs, and ere the wel-come is complete, they bid him farewell ashe sadly returns to the West not with gor-geous plumage gaily flaunting in tbe windand weaiing the badge of victory, but withdrooping head and banner trailing in tbedust. He leaves us, not like Wellingtonreturning frem Waterloo, but like BoaodiL,the proud Moorish king, yielding up hispossessions to the victorions Spaniards, andretiring from tbe regal halls of his ances-tors. He goes from us with fallencrest, but with a proud, unbrokenspirit He has won his last victory uponthe race course, and henceforth willrevel in the delights of the h. ire in andwin new victories there. He will fiod thevictories of peace far sweeter than thoe ofwar, yet, with sadness we record bis retire-ment from the field or glorious strife. Theblood of Asteriod will course through otberveins, and when we find one of his scionsequaling the greatness of the sire, then, likea wandering Pleiad, we will bail another bril-liant star to reign in a constellation asbright as the Milky Way. Farewell, mightyconqueror of the West prince of royaloioou, ana aon oi a nooie sire, tnougn yoncannot wear tbe laurels of the East, yourbrow is crowned with a wreath of deatblesafame; and voices that would have applaudedyou in the hour of victory, still applaud thygame spirit, snout - wen none, hero, ' andlips falter o er and o'er again farewell!
BRXAKINa DOWN OF "ASTEEOID."
From the New York Times, September J5.Great aensation was created in sportinir
circles yesterday by tbe confirmation of tbereport, extensively circulated tbe day previous, ot tbe breaking down ot the greatwestern racer. Asteroid, wnose anticipatedmeeting wits the renowned champion of theeastern turf. Kentucky, in tbe four-mil-
heat race for tbe inauguration stakes, wasregarded as tue most momentous event tiiatever took place on tbe American turf. Welearned from Mr. Alexander, tbe owner ofAsteroid, that the horse took his exercueon Saturday, and, although he seemed alittle lame on pulling up, it was not thoughtto be of serious importance. He waa gal-loped again on Sunday afternoon, when itwas discovered that the middle tendons ofbis right lore leg had given way. and hisstarting for the race was consequently im- -possiDie. some lew montna ago, wtule intraining for tbe Saratoga cup, the sinews ofthe same leg, below the pastern, filled, andhe was obliged to b thrown out ot trainingfor time. The strong preparation to whichhe was subjected for the race of de-veloped the latent weakness of the part inquestion, and resulted in bis completebreakdown.
Radical Treatment ef a DrunkenHusband Ills Wile Tots Morphine
n His Whisky HotHe and Kills11 im.The Maine Democrat, ot Saco, gives tbe
following details of the late murder of Dr.Sweat of Kennebunk, by his wife :
On Sunday morning last Dr. C. M.Sweat, or Kennebunk, died from the effectsot morphine, administered by his wife.Tbe doctor, nntil within a few. years, hasalways sustained a good character, but inthat time he bas taken to drinking, and onSunday morning be bad a bottle of waiskyhid in tbe nay in his barn, wbich he bad vis-
ited two or three times before the familywere up. His wife sent a little girl to findthe bottle, which she found and banded toMrs. Sweat, when she poured some powderin tbe bottle, and; alter shaking it sent thegirl to replace it in the hay. Miortly after,the doctor went to the barn for a few mo-ments, and came in, after wbich he helpedbis wile about making tbe fire, and Uu nwent and sat down ou tbe sofa, where besoon fell asleep, never to wake. Hi wife,after finding tbat be could not be awakened,took a large dose of morphine for the pur-pose of killing herself, but was discoveredin season to prevent death. Mrs. Sweat,we understand, had given her husband mor-phine two or three times previously, whichhad made him sick, and it was for that pur-pose that she ssys the last dose was intend-ed. Tbe case will be brought before thegrand lury at the present term..
The Constitutional Amendment.The New Tork Independent" declares
flatly that".Yt bailing Republican in Congreu meant
to atknit the ten maitimj kUiUt tJnply on theadoption of the tonMUtUional amendment."
Whereupon the 4New Tork Times" admits that
"Congress at Its last session refused topass a bill for the admission of representa-tives from Southern States, even after thoseStates sbould adopt the constitutionalamendment. Thirty or forty member wi retor excluding tbe Southern States until tbeywould adopt negro autfrage, aa well as tbeconstitutienal amendment Mr.Stevens, Governor Bontwell, and otberleading Republicans, concur with the inde-pendent in saying that negro suffrage willbe insisted on as a condition of admission.What is the "Tribune s'' view of this subject?"
The New Tork News npon this subjectsays:
"Nothing the South can do, no extent towhich her people could go in the way ofconciliation, could influence their fate un-
der Radical rule. To retain them in bond-age forever, to rule them by standing ar-
mies wbich wonld keep them in subjection,and whose maintenance would establish andmaintain an equally crushing despotism atthe North such are the inevitable conse-quences wbich must flow from the successof the Radicals, and no one can vote theirticket who doas not desire to aid in thisconsummation."
TBI AUEXDMEST CAS'T BB ADOPTED.
Against the urgency of the Radical
journals for taking the amendment, theNew Tork World says :
If the ten excluded States stand united.the amendment cannot be forced uponthem until the number of States is In-
creased to forty. True, s few years maysuffice to mike. this addition; but Kentucky and Maryland will equally decline toratify, as tne amendment would also reducetheir weight in Congress. Instead of ten
States, there will, therefore,be twelve; which would require the wholenumber of States to be Increased to forty- -
eight before the amendment could be corned, which will not be In this generation.Nor is it suppoaable that a great tTrtof the white population of Missouriwill be permanently excluded, as at present.from their political rights. As Missouri Isuot a negro sutfage State, the party in pow-er may not choose to hasten its downfall byratitying the amendment In that case,there would be thirteenStates, and thirteen can postpone tbe adoption of tbe amendment nntil tbe number ofStates is Increased to fifty-tw- w bich isgreater number of Mates than we are everlikely to bare; the Territories being onlynine, and the present thirty-si- States beingsixteen less than fifty-tw- Even when tbewhole seven Territories shall have becomeStates, eleven States will sufflee to defeat the amendment.

Dcab Silt : It is neither cons stent withlove of country nor w.th fidelity to theChurch of God that true men should be si-
lent, neutral, or inditferent, while thesegrea interests sre quaking and totteringnpon their foundations. Are we, sir, eitheras patriot or ss christians, to standby and see this great questiontouching Christ's kingdom and thesafety of the State sink into thedepths of the sea without aa eTortto save them. The condition ot the timesbas been sueb as to enable our orponeuLto d'gnise to themselves and others thepernicious and inevitable result of tbeirconduct, and t successfully use aainsttne uecemui auil malicious cry of traitorsand disloyalists. But times are chanalnz theatmospnere is clearing away, and men arebeginning to appear in their true colors,and in tue deep rad calrie-- i oi their dHimiIn church and state, as tbe President basuniquely aud pointedly expressed it tbeir
-- ua ieen ol tbe nature of oen- -altie, retaliation, and revenge." But thepres ii now open to the readyand able writers of the nation. n,lmen are beginning to open theireyes non the fact that traitorsto tue cuurcn are tae greatest traitors tothe Stale: aod ta hash this nn. anrl tosiDotner u any longer, has become impos-sible. That men, who, by reckless and nar- -
pouey i.ave Deen corruptingiuiiiui, uU suiiLiu:r tne ioor.Li.unni of
all liberty, should escape detection, expos--uir, ,,uu tuuuruiiiaiitn, is not to De ex-pected when tbe panorama of trmti nn.folds its inexorable histories. There are menwho love peace, and love it dearly, hnt not
t me expense oi truia, ngoteutisnesg, audtbe safety of their country.
We do not charge tbese men with a rtirwiana traiioroua design ot destroying ourcoautry and corrupting the cburcn, but wecu.irgc mem wim a wtm and 'unous frenzywh:cu narrows and Perverts their rulnndstorts their judgment, and reuders them aunuu auu aaogeroua element in botbchurch and state. Men full of frenzied fanaticism can never be trus'ed.
Ion know, sir, that this rapid descent tnministerial character beg-i- immediately attne point where the church began to decidetbe political allegiance of States and r.eot.leand to decide the hitherto undecided politi-cal theories of statesmen. This at onefailed the attention of the American peo-ple to the high political assumptionsof the church. And from that day till this,weakness, contention and unconstitutionalviolations and blunders have been th result But men. faitblul to their hiirh .il-
cannot afford to abandon the ehnreh ntGod to the wild, fanatical purposes ot men Iwho attempt to appropriate the church ofGod to works and intentions Tor which shenas no fitness, aud which are totally oppo-site to her nature and destiny. Mo calam-ity can be greater to a country than a busy,ardent, political ministry, aod ail their os-tentatious and officious help, in tie shapeor politics and parties, is still like puttingout lire by attempting to drown it withOil.
With the aid of the enlightened men andtrue patriots of the nation, ve may trust inGol that the younger people and ministersof this generation will live to see this ques-tion lined np so hirh that all men, inchurch and State, shall see it so distinctlyas to acknowledge ita essential necessity tothe life, safety and perpetuity of our nation.This question K sir. vital to tbe eboreb,but not to the church alone. It isvita to the State, and it is amazing thatstatesmen should give so little atten-tion to a subject in the very highestrespect worthy of their most anxiousinvestigation, and which commanded thedeepest regard ot onr great political fath-ers. As long as hotheaded, belligerentprearhers can find their ambition gratifiedand their applause going forth upon winds,while they are preaching politics and working the conrtsof tbejehnrch :orthe purposesof ar. pontics ana nortest part.sanship.neither eboreb nor country can repose upontbe foundations of safety.
Every true friend of his country ia there-fore profoundly interested In the way Inwhich this question may turn. If all thefierce and fiery edicts itsued by churchcourts d ruing tbe late war, and It the spiritmanifested by them sincetogether with the bloody speeches aodstormy displays of passion, are to be drowninto precedent and prestige to eonstitntetbe public seutinvnt ol coming times, thenmay the country bid denanre to peace andthe chnrch bid farewell to her glory.
And what we want now, sir, is not onlythat tbe fljods shall be stayed, but tbat tbeembankments of trulh and righteousnessshall be raised so high, and fouude l so se-curely, that no future floods shall over-whelm them nor pass tbeir boundaries tothe desolation of any great interest politi-cal or ecclesiastical. 1
But there is no greater danger and nostrootrer evidence of it tbun the determina-tion
1still to deiend, uphold, and perpetuate
the military and political acts of churchcourts and to regard them as assurance andsplendor of fime In times to come. Thisproves that these acts were not the resultof mere temporary excitement but that they Iexpress a settled determination to impartto tbe church the character of war, poiiticsand worUI'.iness,
This, sir, makes her a poor, shifting,chafing, snd changeful affair, liable to althe mutations of states, nations, partiesand policies of the world. And shall the realfriends of national and ecclesiastical stabil-ity, purity, prosperity, and honor, stand Istill and see this work of satan proceedwithout an honest and earnest effort to stay Iits progress? The church and tbe State areall tbe heritage we have on earth. Theirvalue to us, therefore, is beyondall price. And If we would leave an in-
heritance to the future of Infinite value, wemu't leave a Church snd State workingharmoniously and supportingly side byside, but ever and sacredly apart
But, sir, if we wish to break down thepower of the church and to destroy hermoral Influence over the people; if we wishto leave the nation without moral prin-ciple and aapport. then let us aidthese men with whatever of strength wehave. Let us fill our seminaries aud pulpitswith polities. Let the terms of churchmembership be based upon the politicalopinions of parties, and let men be pun-ished for their political views any sympa-thies by taking away their church property.Let ns hold up the church to tbe world aaa great political power to decidethe political allegiance of parties,to determine the political theoriesof statesmen, and to decide infallably theright and the wrong of martial and politi-cal conflicts. Or if we wish simply to takeour ease and float with the current, let nscount the value of brick and mortar and tbeinconvenience of being disturbed in ourchurch relations. Let us follow the pro-gressive order of things. Let us no longerthink or set as if Church and State weredifferent Let us show to the world thatthe church Is a war power and nota peace power; that Christ was mistakenwhen he said hi kingdom was not of thisworld; that be is no longer tbe prince ofpeace, but tte god of war, and always onour side of politics, w being judge.
