Is the Constitution a Petfect Instrument i
It is assumed In come quarters to bo a very
grave error to attempt to amend the Constitu
tion of tbfi Uuited States. We are assured quite
confidently of tho entire perfection of that vene
rable instrument. We are toM, ith a gr t
deal of impressive bcnd-sliakine, that it i the
height of presumption lor the states men of the
present day to suppose themselves wise enough
to "ampnd" the work of their ancestors and
that the attempt to do so involves a most shock
lug dlsrospect to their augut memory.
All this would be very sound if it were not so
excessively absurd. If our forefathers supposed
they bad made so perlect an instrument as we
are told the Constitution is oue so exactly
adapted to every possiblo emergency which
might or may ever arise In the nation's history
the question very naturally arises, why did
they so carefully provide the ways and means
for Its amendment? Why did they not make it
like the laws of the Medea and the Persians,
which change not f And if the instrument ns it
came from their hands was so entirely unim
provable, bow did It happen that so many very
important amendments to It were so ooon found
necessary to be made t
The truth Is, the men who made our Corntitu
tion were wise in their day and according to the
lights they had, but wisdom had been In tne
woild before their time, and it did not die with
them. The Government they foun led was
purely experimental. Tbey had few precedents
to guide them, and almost no 1'ghts from expe
, rience. They could only balance probabilities
for the future. Not being omniscient, they could
not foresee all the exigencies that might arise m
the life of the nation, and they could not tell
how their complex scheme of government might
be found to work as to all its parts in
practice. They were tilled with confi
dence In the great principles of a re
publican form of government, and had enun
ciated those principles with remarkaUe vigor
and clearness in the Declaration of Independ
ence, but they were not able to give them full
' effect and application in th form of govern-
mptit thpv Arinntpri. TliAir wprA In Hia mirier, nf
conflicting elements and interests, and had to do
not ideally or really ine Dest tiling, out tne Dost
thing practical to be done at thai time. They
saw and were perfectly conscious of the weak
ness and imperfection of much of their work.
They never thought of arrogatjng petfectim for
it. They saw that the Constitution, would need
amendments, and they leit the door wide open
for them. They trusted something to the wis
dom and patriotism of those who shiuld come
after them.
Ttnf- wa urn tnlrl ihnt. fnr fl Inner timA tilt nnf Inn
has lived under the present Constitution with
out amendment, and has grown and prospered
exceedingly; and therefore no amendments can
now be necessary. We can remember when a
similar argument was nsed in lavor of the per.
peluatioo of slavery. We were told that slavery
had existed from the foundation ol the Govern
ment, and that we had grown to greatness and
power in its presence. So, too, it used to be a
stock argument with the Democrats that they,
as a party, had been in power much of the time
during the nation's history, and the nation had
Htnn nrnanorAtia fln1 hnnnt! firnn fhc roiirn nf
the Democratic party wa a good thing.
It might, well be replied to tbi style of argu
ment, that facts may be coincident without stand
ing In the relation of cause and effect. We all
remember the story of the "old ancient man"
who thought that the sands wnicU gradually ob
structed lae entrance to uouuwm naruur were
cauced bv Tenterden steeple, because previous
to the erection of that steeple the harbor was
unobstructed ; but the old man's logic has not
generally been deemed of the most convincing
and luminous order. The nation may have
grown and prospered, not by virtue of, but in
s,Ui of pseudo democracy and slavery. So, too
with regard to the weak points of the Constitu
tion we have lived in spite of them, not because
of them.
This argument, too, might very Justly be re
torted upon its authors. "Behold," we might
say, "our nation is not yet a hundred years old
a mere hand's breadth in the life of a people
and see to what the errors in it) Constitution
lave brought usl A horrid civil war, causing
the sacrifice of a rxllUon lives aud of thousands
of millions of money."
There are many points which the Constitution
leaves vague, that time and experience have
shown ought to be settled. It is suflicient to
inctance the question of secession. We may
now consider that question as settled by the
arbitrament of war, it is true; but who shall say
that if it had been as clearly settled in the Con
stitution itself, we nuiiht not have beun saved so
f costly a method of determining it?
The rights of citizen, as citizens of the
United States, under the Constitution, are left
very vague. According to one construction, a
man may be a citizen of the United States,
bound to render It service and allegiance, and
yet the general Government may not protect
him in the enjoyment of his most sacred rights.
; "Tie may have ex-Tclsed the right of suffrage for
years, voting (or President aud Vice-President,
and members of the House of Representatives,
and yet by simply movlnz to another part of the
( country my hud himself perpetually disfran
chised, merely on account of some physical
rhnracte: istic.
Tne basis of representation, as originally fixed
. in the Constitution, Is now found to work very
grons injustice, giving to each Southern voter
about two and one-half times as much power
, as to a Northern voter. The unjust disfran
chisement ol one portion of the citizens is made
' to put aiistocratic power la the bands of those
perpetrating the wrong. A premium Is thus
offered for a violation of one of the essential
piinclplesof our form of government.
The whole subject of rebellion and attempted
revel ut ton, the status of States that have re
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY,
volted and been subdued, the entlro group of
difficult yet most important question which
are now agitating the politic of the country,
is left untouched by the Constitution, except
as matters of inference from its more geaera'.
provisions.
There are numerous other points wbloh mWht
be suggested, and which must have occurred
lo every reflecting mind, wheie the Constitution
Is weak, and mieht be profitably amended. We
have tot space, however, to dwell upon them.
We have instanced enough to show that those
who desire its amendment are not to be put
down by the cry that the Constitution is per
fect, much 1pm by the charge of showing dis
respect to the memory of its trainers. The
fact that those who attempt to forestall action
by such considerations as these are a class of
politicians who uniformly interprot the Consti
tution in the interests ol inu-tice and in
equality, Instead of liberty and fraternity, is an
addnionnl rea on why tho.r Interested remon
ninnces should have' but sliglit weight with
liberal mind a.
The Future of Music in America.
It i a curious fact that disaster has the power
of al once opening the eyes ol a community to
all the detects of on who has fallen into ruin.
It is singular how carefully the peccadilloes com
mitted by a bankiupt are remembered and re
called. All his evil qualities arc magnified, ai
viewed through the glas?e4 of failure. What is
true In the case of an individua', m also proved
itself applicable so fur as a building is concerned
As long as the New York Academy of Music
stood, so long were its merits dilated upon, and
comparison drawn between it and the ttoyal
Opera House at Beilin, to the total ignoring of
such a building as the Academy in our city. In
a list, recently published in tho Ne York
papers, of the largest opera houses in the world
curs is entirely omitted. Now, however, a; fire
has destroyed thai huue Germaii gingerbread
i ll its delects are acknowledged, Us ruin is in.
lerprcted as a Providential interference, and to
the Phccnlx which will rise from its ashej is
predicted a splendor and a pertection which will
excel all rivals.
We hoje, however, in the new edifice the
architect and stockholders will display a little
of that taste which the inspection of our Aca
demy would have instilled into their minds.
If they will have Grimson paper, with gilt
flowers, inteispersed with bunches of golden
prupes, with blue background, they cannot
blame the critical if they do say it looks a little
like "shoddy." True, it is Hipyejlive of the
wealth which tills its walls, but it is also sug
gestive of "Miss Kilinanscgg au;i her golden
leg," and the penchant that lady htd tor an un
seemly exhibi'ion of her limb. We would also
recommend that the plan pursued in the old
Academy of placing r. siatuette on every pro
jection be reformed. It is not a temple of Jug
gernaut, with eQig'es of the deity exposed on
every side; nor U it a Roman residence, with
Lares and l'euutcs an household .sods; nor yet is
it to rival the cap of Louis XI, Attn its innu
merable images ol saints. Neat but not gaudy
is a recommendation. Let it be rich and massive,
resembling in architecture rather the Gothic
arch than the French c tpola.
We believe that a new era in the progress of
music in America is about to be opened. T&e
New York Academy will call to its walls sufli
cient foreign ioipoitation of prime donnes,
while in our own city we are rapidly taking
strides towards a future when we will be inde
pendent of the whims of the European queens
of song. The system of amateur operas, although
ridiculed and elided when first originated by
Mr. I'ekelli, has proved so great a success, that
we hope tre long to be released from the bond
age we are in to vocalists acioss the water. The
plan has been conducted in an unobtrusive
style, which has not attracted much attention
away from our own city. Pnllaielpbia was
never addicted to self-glortdcatton. If New
York had had such a troupe as has been given
to us papers would have run? with it.
m.. meW a mon oonirrai ultiou ud oir-a.do-
rationuid the whole land would have rung
with the great success of an entirely new sys
tem. As it is, Pebelli has only sought to raise
the art of music and give pleasure, careless o
the vain bombast which New York loves.
The same plan is to be pursued in the future,
and we hope that it will be the germ from which
will spring a race of American prime donnes
who will cultivate native art. We do not see
why such a scheme might not succeed, if a
proper school was afforded, as was designed when
our Academy was commenced. When it is accoiu
pi. shed we will have in our possession a mighty
lever to advance civilization, for nothing con
tributes more to a native refinement than fami
liarity with music and a genuine love of the
fine arts.
Ibe Arrest ot the Commandeiiu-Chiof.
Latest advices inform us that the great leader
of the Canadian invasion, the designer of the
subversion of the British empire, and general-in-chief
of that branch of the Brotherhood who
seek for blood, was ignoniiniously arrested in
his bed, this mornlue, by the United States au
thorities, and held in durance vile. It would be
sacrilegious to endeavor to portray the feelings
of this heroic chief at such a dastardly indignity.
We are at a loss to understand ho tho diplo
matic Secretary of State would risk an action
which might involve us In. difficulties witu the
Iri-h Republic. With Mexico on our hands, it
ill btcomcs us to-incur the enmity of so power
ful and bitter, as well as scientific and strategic,
a foe as the sons of the Emerald Isle. How
ever, the deed has bo?n done, and it behooves
us as loyal citit.ens to stand by our Govern
ment, and run all the dangers to which she
has exposed herself by her indiscretion. It was
a bold deed, savoring almost of temerity, yet,
as it has been dono, we hopo it will be followed
up by the seizure of James Stephkns and W. R.
Roberts, the one for etdeavoring to secure
money under false pretenses, aud the other for
endeavoring to break the neutrality laws.
It is hardly natural for Irishmen to suppose
that the Government would quietly see its trea
ties violated, and its pledged word brokeu by
them in a wild fiasco. Let Sweenkt be kept in
jail, or admitted to ball on something more than
1500, on his own recognizance. If be and all
the leaders are thus disposed of, much life and
property will be saved to the American Irish
men, and in giving this advice we only prove
ourselves the I est friends which the members of
the Fenian Brotherhood bave in this country.
We give timely counsel, but they will all see ere
long, that as we were right In deprecating
subscriptions to O'Mahont bouds, we are also
correct in opposing Canadian Invasion, aul
favoring general arrests.
PnAix we Have om T.ooAt. Boih.ktard9
Oeoroe Augusta 8ala has of late been con
tributing to the OornhM Magazine a series of
articles on the "Great BWects of the World," in
which Paris, London, Berlin, Dresden, Havre,
New York, and all the leading municipalities of
civilized nations are rcpiejen'ed, with the ex
ception ol Philadelphia. It would require even
more than loeai partiality end a nice fancy to
discover in the city of Biotherly Love any
worthy of being noted a tha principal street of
the town. TnoLLorB compared it to "a vast
multiplication table," and we do indeed resem
ble that obfeet of childhood's dread, in so far as
all our thoroushfnres running East and West
are concerned. Those, however, coming from
North to South have one exception, which could
be made a rival ot the Parisian Boulevard thai
exception is Broad street, to be Lincoln avenue.
It is the only street In our city which could be
mode a prsud drive and promenade, uud on
which wealth lavist.ed would be well employed
to beaut fy our city.
The question, bholl we have a street worthy
of the second city of America, or (.hull we still
remain w ithout any drive tor ourcitlzous, is one
well worthy of the attention of tho public. If
tbe upper and lower end of Broad street be im
proved, and when the three years have elapsed
the middle portion receive a proper refitting,
we shall soon have long rows of palatial man
sions extending for miles on both s.des, aud
presenting a rival to Fiitu avenue in cost, and a
superior in width and beauty. We would nave
a niagnitlcent drive from the Delaware, below
Lcasiie Islund, to the country around Fisher's
lane. It would be a convenience, an ornament,
und a pride to our people. The cob of ail the
need ul improvements, as stated before the
S-pecifilCon.ujit'ee yesterday, would be$229,000
to the citizens and $3fi,000 to tho city. Whether
it is rais' d must rest with tho.-e most directly
interested, although sbould they do so, Ph ladel.
phia would no loiieer be drenied unworthy of
mention among the cities which had the finest
ttreets of the world.
League Island. The question of the Navy
Yard for iron-clads being located at League
Island came up yesterday before the House,
when Judge Kelley delivered oue of his telling
speeches in its favor. Hon. Cuarles O'Neill
also folio wed in an able address. We are sure
thai the Philadelphia delegation will leave no
effort unexerted in order to secure the success
of the city. We are only astonished that local
prejudice cannot be held subservient to
national good, and that our Eastern friends are
willing to sacri.ee their country to secure a
beneiit to their neighboihood. They are either
acting most selfishly, or clso their eyes are so
easily blinded by prejudice that they are better
filled for the facm than the forum.
Democratic Sympathy with Jeff. Davis.
William B. Reed, in the United States Court at
Richmond, the other day, avowed his strong
"pirsonal sympathy" with Jeff. Davis. The
same "sympathy" exists In the bosoms of the
other Democratic leaders in this State Hkistbr
Clymer among the rest. They sympathized
with Jeff, all through tho war; why should
they not do so now? They kept up "a fire in
the rear" while the Rebels kpt up the fire in
front. Between them, we lost the lives of three
hundred thousand men, loyal, good, and true.
Sympathize with Davis? Ot course they do.
They are old comrades In the Bame cause. They
would vote tor him for President, if they had
the chance.
Tub Gab Investigation drags its slow length
along. Tho Committee met yesterday, examined
Chaules Thompson Jones, and declined to join
with the special committee of Common Council.
The reason for their refusal Is that Common
Council refused to concur in the appointment
of a committee when asked by the Select Coun
cil, but immediately appointed a committee of
its own, which action is held to be disrespectful
to the other Chamber.
A sensational American is now in Paris,
whose profession is that of a face-maker" in
theatrical parlar.ee, a "grime." He places him
self behind a frame hidden with a white cloth,
and beside a table covered with wigs, f'aUe
beards, and paint-brushes. As soon as his
toilette is made, he suddenly draws aside the
curtain and exhibits to the spectators the head
ot Washini.tou, Napoleon, Charles I, Welling
ton, Louis XI, or that of a madman, an idiot, a
fury, a criminal, etc. The principal merit ol
this curious spectacle is the rapidity with
which the aUiBt "changes his hend," for each
transformation is perlect in its truthful resem
blance. As yet be has only exhibited his
powers in private, and the Paris public Is wait
ing for him with intereit.
The Empress Eugenie was forty on the 5th
of May, and she begins to fade. Her fears at the
appioacli of threatening wrinkles are said to be
terrible.
