In your editorial In 1'ilday's Iklkoraph. en titled 'Tho True I'oiut at Issue," 1 notlco the fjl lowing; paragrnpb : - "And tbe Constitution, In Impostor upon ConirroM the duty or puarsuteo tig to e very Staio a rpubli can lorm ot povirnnient, nei-owarily clotliod that body v. 1th the ioer ot deciding- what an- and what Kre iiot republican forms oigovornniont." The only ostensible reason s;lvon br superficial TOlltloians or the Republican odool why the South ern States are. not in the enjoyment or a republican form of overom"ut. Is, that they have not conforrod inequality before the law, or in the matter oi sut frare, constituted a departure from a republican form Of a-overnmenr, thin the iramersof tbe Consti tution were either knaves or loo's. . It will not cor Uinly be contended that the war has riven any new meaning to tbe clau e of the Constitution to which you reter. Whatever was the interpretation put upon it then, must be the interpretation now. Was Inequality before the law, or In the matter of suf frag', then ant -republican T If so, that in equality exl ted everywhere throughout tbo Union at the time this ruaran'oe was inserted In the Constitution. Slavery, yon will be candid enough to admit, existed in nearly every Siato of the old tbirte.n. In not one ot them could free negroes exercise tbe ngbi of auffrare. The most ol these negroes were disqualified from testifying in oou r ta where a white man was a party; In very many of them there existed trochoid qualifloaaon even to entUlo white men to vote. The framers of tbe Constitution, then, knowing these laots, 11 tbey put upon that e ausu the modern republican inter pretation, must have been clearly eithor knaves or tools. But Mr. Madi-on, in tbe Federalist, puts the true interpretation upon tho elaue, when he says : ''But tbe authority extends no lurtbor than te a guarantee of a republican lorm oi (rovernmeut, which supposes ire existing; form of froverninent of tne form which is to be guaranteed. As long, therelore, ft tbe emitting fttrmt ot government are continued by tbe btate, they are guaranteed by the Federal Constitution H'lumvtr the States may choose to substitute other republican lorms ot gove-nmont, tbe? bsve nrbt so to do, and claim the Federal tfuaran oe lor the latter." Mark too, more especially, the laus-uago of this bitter clause, "When the States mat cuooo;" not the Con if reus, a your theory would have it. Sow in th's briet extract is presented an overwhelming answer to all the crudities and sophistries ol the Bepublioan party, as to the meaning ot this clause in (be Constitution, it makes manifest that it gives oo authority lor the United State, either through the Executive or Congress, to interfrro In the forma tion of the Government of States. It is a luminous and authoritative exposition of this c ause, mado by one of the trailers ol that instrument, who did more to !bape and fashion it tban all tho others engaged in the great work. It U wonderful how fully and complete!? this account of tbe origin of this guarantee of a r pub ican form of government refute and destioys all the glosses wnlcli have lately been attempted to be put upon It, as an antborirv tor tbe United State to inter fere In the internal condition or concerns of tbe states. Tbe United btalee, then, has no gieater power by means of this c'.nute than it had ou the fiist adoption of the Constitution. The true inter pretation of it, as it stood o j i's adoption, is its true interpretation at the present time. v bat it was then, it Is now. What it in ant then, It moans now, and no more; and it i c ear that it bad not, and could not bavo, any repaid to Mate laiVa with re spect to race, color, class, suiTrac, testimony, or an j thing ol that character. It really appears to me, looking at tho entire course ol the Republican party, both in the senti ment expressed by its press, and by tho abnormal aotion of its majority in Congress towards the de feated seotion, lorcing from them such concessions that if granted, will only serve to encourage discord and strife, and in tho end destroy all hope oi a lasting peace ; that, in tne word of Drydcn "At least such subtle covenants Khali be mado, 'till peace itee.l i war in masquerade." It is a dangirous s ake, rest assured, that you are playing, in substituting reveuge for justice tho wil of tbe stronger for constitutional obligation. You remember what Mr. Webster onoe said : "That it ia bo matter whether tbe Sultan of Turkey robs a subject ot bis property and uis rights; or whether, under the notion of republican equality, tue pro perty and rights earned by on a suall be taken from him by majority." For ft time you may triumph, but be assured tha' you are only "laying up wrath for the day of wrath." The result of the recent elections, In tun awful crisis of the country's history, have made the ttepoblican party the trustees of the pubiio liberty and safety. Never before in the world's history was so momentous a trust imposed upon a political organization. You have It in your pswer to re j to re atnlty, peace, and lasting prosperity to a ditraoed and divided oountry. If jou are the great national party you pro.'ess to be, you oan riss superior to the Ignoble passions and narrow prejudices ot the hour, and make your name and lame eternal by the beneficial agencies through which you can accomplish tbee 'asting blessings for tbe nation. Ir there blessings are not secured, after tbe fnrhtiul cost that baa been so freely paid for their attain ment it you prove intamously fa'e to the solemn pledges you have given, pieferrlng the gratification of a mean par.isan malignity and revenge to the unity and peace ot your country then, brilliant and unprecedented as has been your triumph, so much tbe more tearful will be your fall That He mesis, "which never 5 et ot human wrong left the unbalanced tea e," will have its judgments In store. There are times when the fullest discus sion of public questions should be welcomed. Hence, we publish with pleasure the able and well-written attlcle of our correspondent. Let us Indicate a few points In reply: First The Constitution cleatly implies that the question as to whether any particular State, or States, have a republican form ol government, may arise. Whenever that ques tion does arise, we asserted, in the article from which our correspondent quotes, that Congress is necessarily clothed with the power of deciding what are and what are not republican torms of government. Does oar correspondent deny tins t Secondly. That question has novo arhen. The Governments of the late Rebel States went out of existence with the overthrow of the Rebel armies. This Is not a matter of rhorv. orof Implication, but or fact. JVew Governments have been erected in their itead, The question U, Are these new Gov ernments, erected by the President, repub lican in form? A large majority of the people In some of these States deny that tbey are, and appeal to bo delivered from them. Con gress must necessarily decide the question. Mr. Madison's theory contemplates the guarantee to the States of their existing re publican forms of government, or of other republican forms of goverment which they may choose to substitute therefor. This will do very well as far as It goes; but It Is very evident that the Constitution also covers the case of a subversion of a republican lorm of government in any State by a foreign power or by the people themselves. If Great Bri tain were to seize upon the State of Maine, for instance, and, subvening its republican form of government, were to erect an aristo cratic or despotic form in its stead, and were to hold it in that condition for five years, and the United States were then to reconquer it, docs anybody doubt that we should have the right to institute a republican form of gov ernment there ? If the same State were itself to become so enamored of royalty as to cut Into a monarchy, and maintain that form ot government by arms lor five years, does any one doubt that, upon conquering and over throwing that monarchy, we should have the right to reconstruct the State of Maine, and guarantee a republican form of government to it? Thirdly. Our correppondent, though evi dently not inclined to bo a '-superficial poli tician," is certainly not posted in regard to the eatly history of the country, when he asserts tbut In not one of the old thirteen States could free negroes exercise the right of suffrage. On the contrary, at the time of the ratification of the Articles of Confedera tion, free negroes in Jive of the States (and New Jersey was one of them) possessed the franchise of electors on equal terms with other citizens; and by these Articles free negroes were made citizens of the United States. It is true that slavery then prevailed in all tbe States, but it was almost univer sally condemned, and looked upon as a tern. poiary and vanishing institution. Fourthly. It may be difficult to determine to whit extent a State may deprive its citi zens of equal rights, and still maintain a republican form of government. But there must be some limit. A State which disfran chises a very small portion of its citizens may, perhaps, on the principle of de minimis non curatur, have a republican form of govern ment; but one that should disfranchise a large majority of them, could hardly be said to have such a form of government. There can be no such things tn the people ruling themselves, the rule ot the majority, the people making their own laws, etc. elements which would seem to be essential to a republican form of government where a majority of the people are de prived of political power. The established rule of tbe minority Is the essence of aristo cracy. We hold that the Declaration of In dependence and the preamble to the Consti tution enunciate the true principles of a republican form of government. Fifthly. The Republican party seeks to establish equal rights among all the citizens of our common oountry. Grant the fullest 6cope to its most radical members, and ther would do nothing more than to make all men equal before the law. If this shall invoke upon us any "Nemesis," it will certainly not be that one "which never yet of human wrong left tbe unbalanced scale." We hold that the country has not much to fear from a party against which the gravest charge its enemies can bring Is, that it would establish universal ju&tice and equal rights. We hold that, in the existing state of affairs, Congress not only has the right, but is by the Constitution sol emnly bound, to Institute in the late Rebel States republ can forms of government ; and that in so doing, and only in so doing, will essential justice be done. Political Hypocrisy Exposed. Jack Rogers, of New Jersey, the present Democratic leader of the House, got into deep water yesterday before he knew it. He was indulging in the usual cry of his party, that the people of the fcouth were being compelled to submit to taxation without representation, when Judge Kelley brought him up standing with the pertinent question, whether he ad mitted that the colored men of the Jr'outh, who pay taxes, ought to be allowed represen tation? Jack at once dropped the cry of justice, and fled for refuge to the Dred Scott case. But Mr. Eelley pressed the question, whether it was liberty or despotism that denied, not only representation, but citizen ship, to people who were taxed ? Jack squirmed and dodged, with the reply that if the gentleman's theory of despotism was correct, the framers of the Constitution were despots. Mr. Eedey then kindly suggested that he rad not asked about the opinion of the foui dors of the Government, but about the opinion of the leader of tbe Democratic party of this House -the honorable gentle man from New Jersey. Was he in favor of denying both the right of representation and the light ot citizenship to four millions of American people and their posterity? Jack replied that he was in favor of liberty, but not in favor of negro suffrage. Hereupon Mr. Thajer Inquired if he had not voted against the Constitutional amend ment abolishing slavery? Jack owned that he had. A richer instance of a' demagogue being driven into his hole has rarely occurred in the balls of Congress. The cry of no taxa tion without representation by a class of poli ticians who are seeking to deprive four mil lions of c'tizens of all political right, ts the height of hypocrisy, and deserve the snath. lng rebuke Judge Kelley has just administered lO 11. The Nenatorial Dlscvtmion of Suftr&se for Women. Tne discussion in the Senate upon Mr. Cowan's amendment to the District Suffiage bill, to Btrlko out the word "male," was con tinued yesterday with unabated interest. Senator Brown, of Missouri, made a strong and elaborate speech, taking the broad and radical ground that the elective franchise is a natural right, which society may not limit on the ground of race, color, or sex. He should grieve to think, he said, that his own liberties were held by any such frail tetiure as Is implied in the doctrine that the elective franchise is a privilege, a gracious boon, which majorities may confer or withhold. Such a doctrine, establitthed and ctystallized in tbe public mind, would ring the death knell of American liberty. As to women, he held that the argument against their partici pating In the turmoils of political campaigns, was an argument against the hustings, and not against female suffrage; and, as to tho argument that they ought not to vote becauso they could not serve in the militia, that was coijXwvdori nn fart, n roon were nnw.ct. grounds, including physical inability, and were yet allowed the right of suffrage. Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, followed in one of his old, stereotyped harangues about the Inferiority of the negro, including his skull and his shins. Davis is the "Rip Van Winkle" of the Senate", "onlyTiVViir pro bably never wake up to the fact that be has been asleep during the great revolution that has passed over this country. Mr. Buckalew, of this Slate, was opposed to extending the suffrage, but ehould vote for Cowan's amendment, on tho ground that the argument in favor of conferring suffrage upon negroes applied with greater force to women. Mr.Doplittlo advanced the luminous theory, as the result of laborious reflection, that the true foundation upon which to rest tUc suf frage in any republican community Is the family; and said that if the question were a new one, and left te him to deter mine, he would allow a man who was the head and supporter oi a family to vote, and no others. Several Senators, in the course of the dis cussion, avowed their willingness to vote for extending the suffrage to women, as a sepa rate and independent proposition, but they did not want the pending measure embar rassed by it. The yeas and nays were then called on Mr. Cowan s amendment to strike out tho word 'inale" bef&re the word person : X eas Messrs. Anthnnv. Brown.

The State of New York and tbe Central Railroad. Tiik Republican party has gained eight thousand votes In tbe State of New York by the success of its great combination jester day to secure the control of the Mew York Central Railroad. Twenty millions of dollars' worth of stock voted, and for the first time in the history of the road a Republican was placed at its head . Henry Keep, Esq., was elected President, and Wells G. Fargo, Esq., Vice-President. Both of these gentle men are self-made men, each having started a poor boy, Eeep having been an errand-boy in a fifth-rate railroad office in Michigan, and Fargo having driven a stage. No better evi dence of the character ot our institutions can be adduced, than that those two poor lads have risen to tbe head of all the railroad interests in America. The death of Dean Richmond weakened tbe ring, the success of yesterday crushed it. Hereafter the eight thousand votes the Road controls will bo given for the Republican party, and the State made sure for tbe radicals. To Be Inquired Iuto. Tee following significant proceedings were had in the Senate yesterday : "Mr TrumLull (Illinois)) offered the following : ' 'JUiolvtri, That tbel'resideut he rc-quuetej to in form the Senate whether any person appointed to auy oQice requned by law to be tilled by an I with the advice aud consent ol the donate, aud w h wt oomuiiBnioned during tho recess previous to the astemblinr ol the present (Joureis, to till a vaoauey, has bten continued in such oOioe aud permitted to d tcharpe its luucticns. e thir by the framing ot a new commission or otherwise, since the end ol tbe Botsion of tbe oeuati' on toe 34th day of Ju v lat, wt ou' ibe submission ot tbe name of uoh person to ine ouuttie lor us couurmauon ; ana particularly whether a Survtyor or A'aval officer of the Port of Philadelphia hut thus been continued in vffict with out the content of the Senate ' 'Mr. Cdmunas (Vt.)-I would move to amend tho resolution uv adding 'whether, if auy such .olhoer has exercised any such Amotions, he has received any compensation in sa ary !"
