T0B enemies of the Republican party are
accustomed to cbarge us with a t olat to of
' the ConBtitution, from the fact that the late
Rebel States are not represented in Congress.
Tboir statement of the case la, that here are
ten States, to which the Constitution guaran
tees two Senators each and Representatives
aooording to their population, in Congress, and
which the Republican party persists wilfully
nd Illegally In excluding from their just par
ticipation in the Government.
Now, if this were a true statement of the
case in all its bearings, we should be as loud
In our denunciation of the wron,?, thereby
done as are any of the Democrats. We hold
that each State is entitled to Its two Senators
and to its proper number of Representatives
in Congress. No possible party exigency could
lead tts for a moment to countenance the ex
elusion from Congress of Senators and Repre
Bentatives entitled to seats therein. We
Bhould consider such an act a3 in the highest
degree dangerous and revolutionary
But, notoriously, the above statement of the
case, which we have put into the mouth of the
Democratic objector," is not the true one. It
suppresses material facts, which utterly change
the aspect of the question. It makes raise as
sumptions, whloh inevitably lead to erroneous
conclusions. '
The Constitution, in all that it says about
representation in Congress, goes upon the
supposition that the State to be represented
has a valid and constitutional government,
through which it acts. The two Senators
must be chosen by a legal legislature, properly
assembled. The Representatives must have
certificates of election from some competent
legal authority; and if chosen to fill vaoancles,
it must have been by writs of eleotion issued
by a legal Governor. It will not do for a lot
of people to get together irregularly, and oall
themselves the "State," and then assume
to exercise its functions.
And now we come to the grand controlling
faet of this matter, namely, that the so-called
States lately in rebellion have no constitutional
State governments. They are, therefore, not
in a competent condition to choose Senators
and Representatives in Congress. There are
so legal legislatures to elect Senators, no legal
Governors to issue writs of elections. The au
thorities which are now in existence there are
purely of a temporary and provisional char
acter, and in no sense constitute valid or con
stitutional State governments.
But how did these States get into this ano
malous condition f The answer to this ques
tion brings out another great fact, which our
Democratio friends are very careful, when dis
cussing this subject, to conceal namely, the
fact of the Rebellion. The condition of the late
Rebel StateB is due to the fact that they wick-
edly and causelessly rebelled against the Gov
ernment of the United States, and for four
long years endeavored to overthrow it by
force of arms. They were not forced out of
the Union; they went out voluntarily. Their
Senators and Representatives scornfully and
defiantly left those halls which they now
would fain enter again. Daring the war their
State Governments lost all standing or validity
tinder the Constitution of the United States.
Their officers, instead of being sworn to sup
port that Constitution, were sworn to
support ' the Constitution of- the
Rebel Confederacy. The terms of office
of the seceding Senators and Representatives
expired by limitation as well as by their own
resignation, and there was neither disposition
nor lawful authority in the Rebel State gov-
. -ernments to fill their places. When the Rebel
Confederacy was finally overthrown by the
triumph of our armies, the Rebel State gov
ernments were overthrown also.
Thus we Bee that, by no fault of the Re
publican party, by no arbitrary and unjust
acts of exclusion on its part, the late Rebel
States find themselves without representation
in Congress. Their condition is the fruit of
their own . wicked acts. They violated the
Constitution, and , sought to overthrow it by
foroe of arms, and in the attempt they only
succeeded in destroying their own standing
under that instrument as the possessors of
lawful State governments. They could not
destroy the great Republio at whose life they
aimed their blows, but they did succeed in
destroying their own organized, corporate ex
istence as States. . . .
It only remains to add, that the policy of
the Republican party is to enable the people
of these States to organize new State Govern
ments, republican "in form," as required by
the Constitution, at the earliest practicable
moment. Indeed, the work is now in the full
tide of successful operation under the Recon
struction acts of Congress. As soon as lawful
Governments are established in these States,
so that Senators and Representatives can be
legally chosen, then the Republican party will
be glad to admit them to their long-vaoated
Beats in Congress. Then the work of recon
struction will be complete, and then the union
will be fully restored.
We thus see that the Republican party, in
this matter of the representation of the late
Rebel States, stands upon solid constitutional
grounds
Its action is strictly conformed to
both the letter and the spirit of the Coustitu-
tion; and upon this, as upon the other great
questions of the hour, it may fearlessly appeal
to the candid and intelligent judgment, not
only of our own times, but of impartial his
tory as well.
The rnblic Jebt nnl the Faith of the
(Government.
Tub idea has lately been advanced in influ
ential quarters that the Government is not
legally or morally bound to pay the publio
debt in coin, but is at liberty to do so in green
backs. .The arguments by which this view is
sustained are specious, and do not commend
themselves to the sober judgment of the
people. The simple question which coutrols
and gives character to the whole matter is,
What was the express or implied promise of
the Government when it made the debt f Did
it agree to pay in coin or in currenoy ? There
can be but one answer to this. The universal
understanding was, that the bonds issued as
evidences of debt to those who loaned their
money to the Government were to be paid at
maturity in coin. Such was the contract, and
it cannot be violated without publio dishonor
and disgrace. The citizen who is insensible to
this, or who would sanction the slightest de
parture from good faith on the part of the
Government, is not a friend to his
country. Anything savoring of repudia
tion would be a gratuitous degradation,
because bo utterly unnecessary. The
public debt la fully within the capacity of the
country, even at its present state of develop
ment and wealth, to pay; much more will it be
so before the debt shall fall due. The last
Congress reduced our taxes materially, with
out impairing the strength or resources of the
publio revenues. The prooess may be ex
tended safely and profitably. A proper modi
fication of the law with reference to distilled
spirits, and its thorough and honest adminis
tration, would enable Congress to exempt
other branches of industry from taxation to
the amount of from' fifty to seventy-five mil
lions of dollars per annum. We may thus
continue to lessen and simplify our taxes, and
still keep reducing the publio debt at a rapid
rate. But every honest man, who cares a fig
for the honor and reputation of his country,
should set his face as a Hint against every
scheme, no matter what disguise it may
assume, that looks in the remotest degree to
the slightest breach of faith with its creditors
by the Government. Ilonesty is the best
policy for nations as well as individuals.
Interfering in Family Quarrels.
OtiB Democratio contemporary, in its wild
efforts to gain political capital, does not scruple
to enter the household of the Republican
party, and make use of our family quarrels as
a means of strengthening its cause. Its
course, throughout the campaign thus far, has
been a "Paul Pry" investigation of what
occurs within the ranks of our party. Thus,
it has had the audacity to lecture us because
we did not nominate soldiers, and quotes the
letter of a candidate to our Convention, in
which hi3 opinion in regard to the Bucoess of
the ticket is given. To-day it continues its
line of policy by taking sides with Major
Smith, of Girard College, and attempting to
make political capital out of the rude and un
pardonable manner in which he wa3 treated.
Thus it says:
"The late President of Girard College was a
gallant Holdler, aud therefore, in the language
or 'the ring,' he is 'played out.' This was the
cry jalsetl by the radicals against every soldier
who was named for any 'Important position'
In their nominating conventions. For these
causes, and for these alone, he was unceremo
niously 'turned out,' and Mr. William H. Allen,
who is a Yankee, an ultra radical, and a favorite
of 'the ring,' was chosen in his Htead. Now, In
pie Id words, the remedy for this and similar
aow of outrage lies not in empty complaints
and temporary indignation, but In bjld and
decided action by all independent citizens at
the pollB in October next."
Now the truth of the matter i3, that the
interference of our contemporary is simply
impertinent. Both Major Smith and Mr.
Allen are good Republicans. The issue is
not a partisan one, so far as politics are con
cerned. It is a quarrel within our ranks, and
for an enemy to attempt to make capital out
of it is both intrusive and pointless. We
would call the attention of our contemporary
to the fate in store for those who interfere in
family quarrels. As a rule, it heals the breach
among the relatives, and secures for him the
concentrated wrath of all who were previously
at war with each other. Let our neighbor
remember this when it interferes in what does
not concern it.
In the Fifth District, the Democracy, hav
ing faith as a grain of mustard seed, are en
deavoring to move heaven and earth to carry
the coming election. They are not restricting
themselves to the large offices, but are direct
ing their attention to the minor gifts within
the hands of the people. When a district is
in doubt, they proceed to colonize it with
yoters from some other locality. 1 his is to be
attempted in the Fifth Legislative District. That
district last year elected Hood, Demoorat, by
193 majority, but this year is extremely doubt
ful. To carry it fraud will be resorted to, aud
we give notice that Mr. Yard will do all in his
power to detect any such attempt, and that
no ring in the Quarter Sessions will prevent a
thorough expose" of the scheme. Some such
step is necessary to save the Democracy from
defeat. Mr. Edward S. Yard, our candidate,
is a substantial property-holder, a long real
dent of the district, and is well known, highly
respectable, beyond all doubt honest, and
identified with all the interests of hia constitu
ents. He is opposed by "a young man by the
name of Mullens," who is not identified- with
the interests of the distriot, is not an old res!
dent, and who will vote, if elected, as the repre
eentatlve of his patron, Mr. Charles W. Brooke,
and not of the property-owners of the district
Between the two, if fraud be not practised
the result js not an open question. But we
j rather thiiik that, even with colonization, the
fate of Mr. Brooke's young man is sealed.
The Celebration of the Dattle of An
tietara. To-dat five years ago the oity of Philadel
phia held its breath in suspense as it waited
lor news from the Maryland border. For three
days it had been known that the Army of the
Potomao was fighting, with fearful carnage, to
drive back the advancing forces of General
Lee. A race without an equal in the annals of
the earth was going on. On one side of the
river marched the Rebel host, seeking to ad
vance with sufficient rapidity to pass in front
of McClellan aud gain the rich fields of the
Keystone State; while on the other side has
tened the Union forces, hurrying with the
energy of despair to intercept the enemy and
save the North from devastation. We of
Philadelphia knew of the mighty race, and
knew that on its result rested the safety of our
fair city, and probably the fate of our nation.
Future generations cannot understand the
anxiety which filled every heart until fear wa
turned to wild exultation, when we knew that
the advancing wave had been met, that the
flood-tide of Rebel inundation had been
checked, and the insurgent columns rolled baok
into desolated Virginia, defeated in their
scheme, and desperate at a sight of the pro-'
mised land, which they but saw from the
mountain.
To-day the high officers of the National and
State Governments proceed to celebrate the
anniversary of that eventful epoch in our his
tory. The President of the United States,
with all the Diplomatic Corps and Cabinet,
the Chief Justice, with his associates, and the
Governors of many of the loyal States, will be
present, and an opportunity afforded of com
memorating with a ceremony appropriate to
the occasion the scene of the mighty battle.
Such an opportunity to do justice to the
bravery of the dead; and to glorify the princi
ples for which they died, has seldom been pre
sented. Yet how is the occasion being used f
Will we hear the key-notes of the war, the
stirring utterances of the great doctrines
taught us by the strife? Will the lessons
learned on the field of battle be inculcated in
the ears of listening thousands, and the hearts
of the people which beat in unison with the boys
in blue on that eventful day be cheered with
the sentiments which came to us from Antie
tarn f ,We fear not. We fear that the anni
versary of the battle of Antletam is to be made
the occasion for a political meeting, and that on
the same ground where they were defeated
years ago, the Rebel principles are about to
' renew their contest. It looks to us extremely
like an attempt of Mr. Johnson and his party
to take advantage of the day to make a
grand political meeting out of the general
interest felt in the ceremonies. From the first
we have had our suspicions that the mana
gers of the whole affair were seeking to
use it for partisan ends. The orator of the
day is a Johnson appointee; the places of dig
nity are au given to the mends ot "my
policy." The claims of radicals are slighted;
and we hear from Baltimore long and loud
complaints of the management and its course.
We know that Mi Johnson is none too gool,
nor possessed of any too much delicacy, to
stand upon the graves of ten thousand dead
heroes and deliver a speech for political effect.
His feelings, blunted by a loDg life as a
demagogue, are not of a kind to cause hi in
to hesitate; and we anticipate that, unless
a few words be spoken by some of our Gover
nors, tne celebration oi Anueiam wiu ne a
political Democratio meeting. We hope that
it will not be a 22d of February affair.

the Register at Portsmouth, the birthplace of
Mr. Charles Dickens, under date of May 8,
1814, Is found the baptism of Francis Pickwick,
and almost immediately after it that of Eliza
Dickens, and next a child by the name of
Shakespeare. This shows the origin of the
name of Mr. Dickens' famous character. Mr.
Dickens' own name is Charles John Hoffman
Dickens, and his father, Mr. Thomas Dickens,

TO THE MEKCIIANI'S AND ClilZKNS OF
PHILADELPHIA.
Thefol'owlng letter from Ualvenlon, Texas, sadly
exhibits the extent of suffering from yellow fever lu
that city:
"We are In the midst of one of the most terrible
epidemics that has ever visited this city. It com
meicd early In July, In a mild form, with but four
teen canes In that month, and has now become as
violent as I ever saw It In New Orleans. Horn ciies
have pot livr-d over twelve hour after the lirst symp
toms appeared. In the Hpcond and Third Wards
almost every other house has one or more C4Si. It
has snrehd all over the prairie north and west or us,
I vl ited over forty cases In that dlrecilon yesterday,
some oi them a mile n'Tthwest of the cemetery.
"The hospitals are lull hint crowded, and some will
have to be imirovised lr we nan get the means.
Entire blocks of stores are closed, and hut little else
Is done he I dps attending to the sick? and pnvldtug
v., iiiruni iuu', htiuii is estimated we nave yet ren
thousand nnaccilmated person- bore for It to leed
upon. Mostol the cases can be saved vt It'i prompt
ai l proper treatment.
"Our people who have the meant are aslngthera
freely, and the gentlemen of the 'Howard Associa
tion' are doing all that expeilr-nce and human effort
can accompliBh; but wlih a I the ecot omy that can he
pracliBed.lt Is my opinion, bused on fo-mer experi
ence, that we must have aid from the ch"rl.bl8
abroad, to the extent of at least ,10,000 or t;5,i n, to
mippljr the most urgent crscs wi'h blankpts, meil
clnes, nurses, food, etc.. and then the energies ol the
several commute, s will be seriously taxwl t- ad min
ister to each the minimum quantity to save or pre
serve life only."
From advices dated New Orleans September 11, we
lesrn that sixty-seven deaths occurred from yellow
fever on that day, and on the fame day thirty-two
died in Oalveston. Texas, whilst the fever Is extend
ing along the Uulf coast, and In some or the Interior
."l: A n earnest appeal is made to the ciilsensof
Philadelphia to forward relief to this aillicted section
Of the country.
