WEDNESDAY, DECEMB2R 2G, 1800. The Rebellion and Slite Status. Otm Burlington correpoalent writes us a long letter, reviewing our article of a lew days since, concerning (senator Cowan's Into speech. Ilis entire communication is longer than we can conveniently find room lor, but we very willingly giva such portions ol it as are essential to the discussion In hand, lie says: In your comment upon the ritiota'ion you iniko from his (Mr Cowan's) speech, joo appear to hnvo lost eipht entirely of bis real position; and in your Illustrations to prove ita fallacy, you most unvit tingly five stronetb. to his aruumout. You start out with the proposition, "that the assumption that lies at the bottom ot all liis laliaclos Is. that a State can. not icaily do what tt cannot legally do." Now, sup pose he had laid down the loiral postulate, that a corporation is jtriotly limited to those poaera wliioli are specially conferred upon it, and any attempt to. exercho any powors outsido those limits would make their exerol-e null and void ; or suppise ho had said, "that any acts ot a State, who, wi hout rollout of Confess, kept troops or ships of war is timo of peace, entered into any agreement or compact with another State or foreign powor, or engaged in war, unless invaded, or in Imminent danger thoroot, as will not adm.t of dola?" th.tt all such acts would be void. Do you doubt the truth Ot either of these positions? Are tboynot atioin aticf And yet this U Just what Senator Cowan aseertod. Ko more, no less. Your illustrations wou d have the same application m answer to tho above postulates, as in answer to tbe postulate taken by Sena tor Cowan. Tbe logic of bis argument is s'raply that, notwithstanding the ordinances oi secession, the Southern States remained by lo;ai contempla ion ia the Union, disorganized by the act oi thotr people, who attempted to maintain the ordinances of secession; but that tne State was not in laull, tar the reason that the offense was not commuted by the State, The people who voluntarily concurred Id the act were rob.Ma against the Government oi the United States, and punishable as such none the lev, because (bey have usurped a.so the authority of the state. ; ... -.J - Our chief ground of criticism upon Mr. Cowan waathat, in the same speech, he took two "precisely antagonistic positions; first, maintaining that the Rebellion was the work of individuals and not ol tho States, and next, that it was the work of tbe States and not of Individuals. When he wished to relieve the States, in the'r corporate capacity, from all responsibility for tho Rebellion, he maintained that the States could not rebel, but that it was the mere personal affair of their inhabitants. When he wished to save tne Rebel Inhabitants of the States from the pains and penalt'cs of treason, he maintained that they had not com mitted treason, because, in waging, war against the Union, they had done so in obe dience to their States. It was this Juggle of hiding the responsibility ol the State behind the people, and the guilt of the people behind the State, for the purpose of screening both from all the consequences of the Rebellion, that we denominated " political thimble rigging." Our correspondent in his defense of Mr. Cowan coaven'ently overlooks this point. Our correspondent seems to us to have fallen into the same fallacy that we ascribed to the gentleman whom he assumes to defend. Despite the ordinances o( secession and ether revolutionary acts, he affirms that tl State was without fault, "for the reason that the offense was not committed by the Stile." Now, in what sense was it not committed by the State? Js it denied that the State of South Carolina, for instance, as a corporate political entity, passed an ordinance of seces sion, confederated with several other Statas, taised armies, made war, etc. ? It cannot be denied, except upon the assumption that these acts being "void," were not "cam mittod" by the State ; and that Involves the identical fallacy which was originally ex posed, viz., that a State cannot really do that Which it cannot legally do. Our correspondent seems to think that much is gained by calling the rebellious and revolutionary acts of the Southern States "void." Cut what is a void act? Is it an act that has not in fact been committed? If so, then it is not an act at all. A "void" act is simply ono that has no leqal or binding force. Itlacks the element of positive legality. An illegal act is one that is contrary to law. All Illegal acts are void, but not all void acta are Illegal. Now, the revolutionary acta of the Southern States, such as their ordinances of secession, their formation of the so-called Confederacy, their raising of armies, and their waging war against to Union were not only "void" that is desti tute of positive legality but they were mich more; they, were in the highest degree illegal" being contrary to, and forbidden by the great organic law of the nation, the Constitution. To hold, thereore, that the States were "not in fault" because tbelr rebellious acts were void acts, when they were also nuch more than void, Is illogical and absurd. The very fact that these acts were not only with out legal sanction, but in the highest degree Illegal and revolutionary, constituted the' nations great warrant for prosecuting the war. One of tbe greatest elements of strength in the Rebellion was that It was not a mere insurrection, not a mere sporadic and miscel laneous movement of tie people outside of their civil organizations, but that it was organized and prosecuted by the States as States, in tbelr corporate, political capacity. By means of this they gave their movement a coherency and a power that it could not otherwise have obtained. It was essentially a Slate sovereignty-movement from the start. The States seceded as States, made war as fctatcs, confederated together as 8taU. The people acted constantly wl bin the forms of their State organizations. Why overlook these patent historic facts, and attempt by mere verbal quibbles and fallacies to make out that the States did not do anj thing? The Supreme Court of the United State has fully and explicitly settled this very ques tion. In the prize cases which came up on appeal from tbe District Courts of Southern New York and Massachusetts, an opinion was dollvered, March 9, 1803, confined to the general questions of law which were raise 1 by all the cases. In thU docisiou the Court says : "J bey (ibe applicant) contend a'so that inturreo tion is the art of inilirirlwi's, and hot of a Govern mentor sovereign'; f'at tho individual eogared are subnets of law; that confiscation of their pro perty can on y bo eff cfd under municipal law; that, by the la v of the 'and, men conviction cannot tule place without the couviction of the owner of some offense; and, finally, that the secession ordi nances are mllities, and im fficUal to release any citizen trom his al egiauce to the national Govern ncnt; consequently, the Constitution and lawol tbe United States are still operative ovor persons in all the States for punish nont as well as proteotioo," This is Mr. Cowan's case, stated better than be or his Burlington attorney has done It But the Court goes on to reply: This argument rf sis on the assumption ot two pro positions, each of which is without foundation in the estabtibhed law ol nations." We have shorn that a civil war. such as that nw ten e ' between tne Kor'hern and Southern Statet, is proporly conduct! d accord:ng to tho humane regu lations of publ'c law, as regards capture on the ocean. Undi r the very peculi-r Constitution of this Gov ernment, although the cit irons owe supremo alle gience to tbe Federal Government, tboy owe also a qualified allegiance to the Stale in which they are domiciled; their persons and property ere subjeot to its laws. Hence in organizing this Rebellion they hate acted at States, o'aiming to be sovereign over a 1 persons and property within thotr respective limits, and asserting a right to ab-olve their citizens fiom their al eg'ance to tbe Federal Government. Sevtral of these States bavo cousp'red to form a new confederacy, o'nimmg to be acknowledged by the wor d as a sovereign a ate. Their right to do so is now being decided bv wager ol battle. The ports and territory of cah o; these States are held in bosti.ity to the general Government. It is no loose, unorganitrd inmrrecti m, haviug no definite bound, ary or possession, It has a boundary marked by lines of bayonols, and which can be crossed only by force. South of this line is enemy's territory,1 because it it claimed and he'd in jwisesion by an organized, hoittle, and belligerent power. This decision settles the matter, both in ac cordance with the reason of the case and with the practice of the Government throughout the war. No metaphy&icnl absurdities or verbal fallacies can reach the stable basis upon which it rests. This decision also affirms the right of the general Government to treat the inhab't ania of the seceded States both as public ene mies and as traitors. The true theory In regard to this whole matter ia. that the moment tH Souttocrn States, as organized political communities, commenced war upon the Union, that moment they ceased to be "States In the Union," and became hostile, Rebul, belligerent States. Their territory was still within the limits of the country, claimed and contended tor by the United States, and their citizens still owed allegiance to the Federal Government ; but the States themselves, as corporate organiza tions, had no longer any standing in the Union. When the armies ol the Rebellion were over thrown, these States, although still de facto States, were properly dissolved by President Johnson, just as the "Confederacy," which they had wickedly formed, was also dissolved. And from the overthrow of these States by President Johnson, tbe whole subject ot re construction must now take its practical de parture. Mr. Cowan's theory Is not only vicious in itself, but it has no practical rela tion whatever to the question as it now stands, for those old Rebel States are dead and buried with the Confederacy. It is with their suc cessor, historical, not legal or constitu ional, tliat we now have to deal. Conservative Ettorts to Introduce .Slavery In M at land. It would really seem that the conservative faction that is now dominant in Maryland is determined to rein'roduce slavery in that State despite the Constitution and laws of the United States. Four negroes convicted ol larceny were sold at Annapolis on Satur day, by order of Judge Magruder. Some twenty or thirty farmers were present at the 6ale. The first one sold was John Johnson, who' bid for .himself; and the auctioneer taking bis bid, he was finally knocked down to himself, and became his own purchaser, for f 37, - Another man brought $35, and two girls brought respectively $22 and $30 each. There was an officer of the Freedmen's Bureau at the sale, and it was thought the bidding would have been more spirited but for tbe fact that an impression seemed to pt-vall that the officer in question was about to Interface with the right of the'purchasers and release the negroes from the custody of the purchaser. ' " '" ' ' 1Mb proceeding Is a direct and flagrant violation of the Civil Rights law, which pro vides that no difference In punishments shall be made on account of color. But where did the supporters of slavery ever show any respect for law? This Judge Magruder Is bound by his oath to support the Constitution and laws of the United States, any law; of his State to the contrary notwithstanding. But 'what are oaths worth among Mar land con servatives,' after Reverdy Johnsons' "pious peijurj " counsel to them WxrebitoJeauiJaXisJsJbe made a test case. It will be interesting to know whether a pro-slavery Maryland judge can set tbe laws of the United States at defiance. But what a lesson Is here for the people. The moment the conservative party obtains power, that moment it attempts to revive the old order of things, and bring back slavery , Give it power throughout the country, and we should behold that Infernal sjstem re stored In fact, if not In name, in every South ern Slate. Tbe virus of slavery-worship is in the very bones of tbe conservatives. They will not learn anything from the tremendous events of the last live years. They would, even now, If they had the power, reverse the wheels of human progress, and carry us back to the dreary despotism of the rule of the slave power, when slave-pens stood within the shadow of the dome of the capitol, and slave-gangs blocked up the streets of Wash ington, and the slave hunter pursued his human chatties even upon the soil of the free NorthI A False Alann. It is rejotted that the President lately,- in conversation with a friend, expressed his unabated confidence In the flapl triumph of bis restoration polic t lie a'so took occasion to condemn the project that was being agl tatcd in Congress lor the overthrow of the present State Governments at the South, and declared that it would release those State Governments from the payment of their State debt, an t impose them vpon the United Slates. We do not sec how the overthrow of the present Illegal State Governments at tho South can impose the payment of their State debts upon the United S ates any more than President Johnson s overthrow of their pre decessors invalved the same result. Presi dent Johnson found a lot of Illegal State Governments in exigence at the South and overthrew them. Did that action of his impose the payment of the . Southern State debts upon the United States? If not, how will the overthrow of the present illegal State Govcmmeuts at the South do so? An Important Tieasury Decision. The Treasury Department has decided that do trustee process, garnishment, or injunction can be lecognized by the officers of the Gov ernment in respect of moneys due creditors of the United States. Reasons of high public policy, it says forbid that the agents of the Gov rnment should be Impeded in tno pay ment for services r supplies by the acts of any one vi ho may think or assert that he has a cla'm unon the public creditor. To admit such a pretension would be equivalent to placing it in the pawer of a few individuals, at ciiticel junctures, to thwart the most im portant undertakings, or, perhaps, to stop the wheels of Govermne nt. Upon this subject reference is made to the opinions' of the At-' torney-General ol August 5, 138.. vol, ii., p. 6C1, and November 9, 1811, vol. iil.,' p. 713, and the decision of the Supreme , Court in Buchanan vs. Alexander (4th Howard R., 20), which fully sustains the views expressed by tbe Department.
