TIIE NEW YORK DEMOCRATS AND TIIE
PRESIDENCY.
From the If. 7. Sun.
The New York Democracy onght to exert
a powerful influence in the next National
Convention of their party. This is due to
the number of the electoral votes which the
State is pretty sure to cast for the Demo
cratic candidate, and to the high standing in
the party of Bomo of the leading statesmen,
and to the not less important fact that their
supporters can contribute an immense amount
of money for the expenses of the canvass.
Holding this vantage ground, the Demoorats
of this (State may perhaps be able to designate
the Presidential standard-bearer.
It has been too hastily assumed in some
nn&rtera that the Democracy of New York
have no candidates of their own whom they
intend to press for the nomination in 1872;
that they favor the selection of a Western
man; and that the great mass of them seoond
the aspirations of Mr. Hendricks. We think
this is a mistake. The party in this State,
taken as a whole, have at least three candi
dates, and we will name them in the order
of their eeriority. They are Horatio Sey
monr, Sanford E. Church, and John T. Hoff
man. Governor Seymour ranks among the fore
most statesmen of the country. Though
trained in the conservative school of Van
Buren and Marcy, he has kept pretty well np
to the ideas of our more progressive tirne-i,
while be has shown commendable skill in
steering clear of the fends which have of late
years distracted the party in this State, not
infrequently arraying the rural Democracy
against Tammany Hall, with both of whioh,
however, he has always stood well. In 18G8
he showed as much courage as taot, when he
went to the West on his famous stamping
tour after the October eleotions; courage, be
cause those elections had demonstrated that
by do possibility could he escape defeat in
November; tact, in ignoring dead issues,
and confining his speeches almost wholly to
questions of trade, finance, and taxation,
which he knew were in a year or two to oo
cupy that place in the public mind so long
engrossed by slavery and its adjunots. As he
was beaten in 1868 by Qeneral Grant on what
will be treated as defunct issues in 1872,
Governor Seymour will, if the Republicans
are so beside themselves as to renominate
Grant, very likely become the Democratic
candidate, and would certainly be eleoted
over the man who defeated him four years
previously.
Mr. Church is a disciple of Tompkins and
"Wright, who were so long leaders to the pro
gressive wing of the New York Demooraoy.
He has an excellent war record, is highly
popular with the masses, always outruns his
associates on the same ticket, has heretofore
filled with ability and credit the responsible
offices of Comptroller, Lieutenant-Governor,
and President of the Canal Board, was the
most conspicuous Domoorat in our late Con
stitutional Convention, and is now, with
health fully restored, winning distinction as
the chief judge of the highest judicial tri
bunal in the State. A statesman of aoknow
lodged capacity, and standing quite aloof
from all factions which have disturbed the
harwonv of the party both in New York and
elsewhere, he would be a powerful candidate
for the Presidency.
Perhaps we do Governor Hoffman injustice
in representing him as a competitor for the
nomination next year. Some of his intimate
friends say be is not, but on the contrary as
sert that he is of the opinion that inasmuch
ah thA Democratic candidate ia lSGt was
from New Jersey, and in 18C8 from New York,
ha rtnoht not bow to be selected from the
Fast There is much force in this view of the
situation: for. though. New York is almost
certain to go for the Democratic nominee
next year, undoubtedly the great majority of
'the electoral votes by which he Is eleoted
must come from States lying west of the Alle
chenies. and therefore that section of the
Union may well claim the candidate. Gover
nor Hoffman, too, may naturally think that
if he throws his influence now in favor of a
Western candidate, the compliment may be
reciprocated in 1870, ana ne tnus enjoy
the honor of running for President of the
United States in' the year when the whole
Amemsan people will be celebrating the one
hundredth anniversary of their Declaration
of Independence. However, if the Conven
tion should desire to place Governor Hoff
man in the field, we presume he would not
emulate the example of Caesar and put aside
the crown once too often, but rather, like
Barkis, might prove to be willing. The fol
- lowers of St. Tammany are not wont to de
.line honors of that description.
We advise the Demooracy of other parts
of the Union to keep a sharp eye on their
brethren in this State, and be careful in the
selection of delegates to the National Con
vention. Shrewd, active, plausible, full of
devices, lavish of promises, and overflowing
witn greenbacks, u tne JNew lorn magnates
set their hearts upon nominating one of
their number for the Presidency, the unso
phisticated delegates from the rural States
may be sure that they will suoceed.
. TnE NEW GERMAN EMPIRE.
From the N. V, Times.
The new Empire of Germany begins from
this time a oareer of immense importance to
tne worm, its population is the seoond of
the great States of Europe. Russia leads
wun (i-j,uuu,uuu; out, including Aiaaoe and
Lorraine, Germany follows with 40,120,000 of
the most industrious and intelligent inhabi
' tants to be found in any community of the
world. France, shorn of a large part of her
two provinces, comes next, with 30,430,000:
and then the Austrian monarchy, with
ftZ5.A43.000. and Great Britain, with n K'ta nnn.
j 1 r j - - vvjuvVjVWj
last of all being Italy, with Rome, counting
26,470,000 inhabitants. Even the preponder
ating population of the German Em nirA
is no fair measure of its strength. Its por
tion is central, whether for military or
moral influence. It is compact and homo-
. geneous. All its vast forces are under the
control of one Executive and the Parliament,
Its leading StaUPruBsia is confessedly
(the, most intelligent, disciplined, and vigor
ous community in Europe. The administra
tion is everywhere economical and thoroughly
well; organized. The educational system of
i Prusaia,its economy and thorot?h diaoipline,
' will now be1 spread through all the empire
Even this tremendous war will w,av3 bug
debt on the ' empire than it would o:i any
other civilized State. The llobenzoUorus
always made their enemies pay their war ex
penses, and no army lives at eo littla monoy
cost as the German.
In our judgment, tho "empire will be
peace," in a far better sense than was ever
true of the Napoleonio regime. The war has
made terrible wounds in German homes.
Almost every family has suffered. The very
best of the people, as in our own war, have
offered their lives for the oountry. All busi
ness and production have been interrupted.
For a generation to come the masses will
dread and abhor war, and the people will seek
their natural bent in trade, agrioulture, and
manufactures. The masses, too, are to have
more power in the new empire. The Parlia
ment is to contain 882 members in the lower
house, chosen by universal suffrage. Many
of the trades-unions and workingmen'a
associations are represented among these.
It is true that Prussia sends 236 mem
bors out of this number, but many others
in the cities and Western provinces oome
from democratic constituencies. This por
tion of the German Parliament will be essen
tially a popular body, and represent the na
tional aspirations for pence and industrial
progress. In the Upper House, which cor
responds to our Senate, and represents States
and princely families, Prussia has a much
smaller proportional representation only
seventeen out of fifty-two, while Bavaria hs
six, Saxony four, Wurtemberg four, and
Baden and Hesse three each. Thus those
five States could in that House outvote
Prussia, if they so desired, yet Prussia repre
sents 21,039,000 inhabitants, while Havana
contains but 4,824,000, Saxony 2.423,000 and
Wurtemberg 1,778,000. One pnnoipality re-
ptesented by one vote in eaoh Home
ticbaumburg Ldppe nas out tne population
of a small town, 31,000.
The interest of the future, botn for Ger
many and the world, in the new Parliament,
les in tne struggle, inevitable ana intense,
between the self-will and royal power of the
Hohenzollern and the popular aspirations
for greater liberty. The present Kaiser is a
martinet and believes in "the divine right,"
and therefore will be determined to have his
own way without regard to constitutions.
Unfortunately for liberty, he has shown a
divine right to command by great efforts
and great achievements. Like all his ances
tors, he has known how to conduct a larga
government with rigid eoonomy; ne nas
had the faculty of choosing and retaining
the best pnbho servants: be has cast life
and crown into the struggle for Prus
sia's supremacy, and has oome forth
victorious. Germany will forgive many Bins
to the brave old martinet, and self-willed but
successful emperor. For years to oome the
principal events in German history will be
the struggles between the emperor and the
people. With the succession of his son, how
ever, will come a more reasonable and liberal
Government. "Our Fritz" is known to all
Germany as a liberal-minded rnler, and no
mean general. He has been worthily conse
crated for tne imperial crown on many a
battle-field. His English wife gives a promise
of reasonable and constitutional influences
around bim, and of a future reign whioh shall
be worthy of a constitutional king. We can
not but hope that tne new German empire
foretokens greater peace and liberty to conti
nental Europe.
FRANCE AND THE BONAPARTES.
From the N. F. World.
"Tne Assembly enthusiastically ana unaiximomiu
voted by acclamation a resolution offered by M.
Tame, decreeing the fall of the empire, and Hinma-
tizing Aapolftni as the author of the mUortunes of
prance." from me woriat caove aeapautnte oj
Thnmday.
This vote may perhaps have been a need
less formality; but the people of the United
States are glad to see the condemnation of
the empire and of the Bonaparte dynasty
put fairly on reoord. It is the best possible
answer to the fallen Emperor's manifesto
from Wilhelmshohe on the day of the recent
French eleotions. We rejoice that i ranee
has escaped the Bonaparte inoubus. The re
sult mit lit have been different if the Ger
mans had chosen to restore Napoleon, and
we must give them the credit of having ab
stained from any undue interference with the
internal government of franco, and of leav
ing the opposition to Napoleon to take its
free course. His only chance of restoration
was in possible German connivance; an i the
crisis having passed without aid from that
quarter, the hopes of the Bonaparte family
are buried forever.
That family has been'the greatest soourge
and curse ever visited upon D ranee, or in
recent times upon Europe. It must be con
ceded that both nephew and uncle were able
internal administrators, but the order and
system which prevailed in their interior man
agement, was perfection in the art of collect
ing taxes and conscripting soldiers. Both of
the Bonapartes depended upon their foreign
policy for influence and consideration at
home, and each was prostrated and crushed
by the reooil of this favorite engine. The
first and the second empire alike ended in
convulsion and storm, in the humiliation of
France and the fall of its capital. Both of
the Bonapartes were overwhelmed by foreign
wars begun witnout neoessity upon an egre
gious miscalculation of results, iiiicn of
tnem, in tne nour of nnai disaster, made a
craven surrender of his person ti the enemy
against whom he had been fighting, and they
were alike .disappointed in the advantages
they expected from a course so inconsistent
with elevation of character.
We trust that this terrible repetition of the
terrible lesson of ,1815 may cure France of
fooliah attachment to her worst soourge. The
chief curse of Bonapartism was its subordi
nation of domeatio to foreign policy, aud
I ranee ought to have learned by this time
that nothing could be more ruinous to her
true interests. What did she gain by all the
unequalled splendor of the first Napoleon s
victories and his brilliant career of conquest?
Nothing in the end but vain eolat. Every
rooa oi mose conquests was wrested away
Dy tne disasters which attended his downfall,
leaving nothing but the remembrance of
barren military laurels. And at what a fear
ful cost were those laurels purchased! The
A 11 j n . . .
taxes coueciea auring tne eleven- years
of the first empire were equal to all whioti
were collected during the sixty-three
years of the splendid and warlike
reign of Louis XIV. Under the first
Napoleon France sacrificed five millions of
frenchmen, moat of them in the flower of
tneir age. I hat prodigal squandering of
life and treasure was a dear price to uav for
the glory of being governed by the most suo-
cesBiul butcher in the annals of the human
race. The second empire did not make such
wuoiesaie saennoes to the Aloloen of war, but
ine policy of the two empires was subsUu
tlally identical. The main prop of both was
a vast army, the support of which entailed
grinding taxes upon the people. Under the
second empire there was every year a gret
deficit, owing to the fact that the military
establishment was too large for its expenses
to be defrayed out of the annual
revenues. The public debt of Fraaoe iu
1S.12, the first year of the seooud empire, ws
5,rl(!,lH4,(;00 francs; and ia lKGii the Dublin
debt bed grown to the enormous sum of
115, 831, 723, 110 francs, although the whole
period wus uiie of uninterrupted prinpori' y
And jet tLe French army, maintained ut .i V.i
enormous expense, proved worthless in the
bour of trial. All the money expended on
it was wasted. The Emperor's false estimate
of its strength seduced him into a blunder
which cost him his throne, and brought upon
France a train of the moat humiliating dis
asters she ever suffered.
The stnpendons drain for military expenses
which was the essence of Bouapartiain both
under the first and nnder the seoond empire,
was a calamity to all Europe as well as to
France. A nation with a great army is a
terror to its neighbors, who are also com
pelled to maintain great armies as preoau-
tion BgHiCHt BUdden or wanton attacks, ine
result ban been to make Europe a vast
ramp, each government squandering the
fruits of industry on great military esta
blishments rendered ueoessary by mutual
jealousy and distrust. This tremendous waste
of resources is tbe enrse whioh Jionapartism
brought upon France and upon all Europe;
aid we trust that irauce at least begins to
realize its destructive follv.
No French statesman i.s ho responsible for
fee second disaxtrons experiment of ? na-
partiRt rnle as Thiers. He was, without in
tending it, tne author of the seooud empire.
He made himself prime minister f l ranee
for the second time by oateriug to 13 map r-
tint prepossessions. This was the meaus by
which be effected the coalition of parties iu
the Chamber of Deputis which overthrew
the ministry of Marshal Soult iu 1810. As
soon as he was fairly in power he applied to
Lord Palmerston tor permission to remove
tbe body of Napoleon Bonaparte from St.
Helena to the banks of the Seine. Nothing
Las ever occurred which had so tnuoti
iiifluf-nce in reviving and intensi
fying tbe old admiration for that
great warrior. The funeral pomp
and parade of tbe final obsequies electrified
and intoxicated the French people, and
smoothed the way for the second empire.
Months before the remtins till reaitiod
France, Louis Napoleon was encouraged to
make bis famous Boulogne expedition, and it
is a curious circnrustauce that in the procla
mation which he published at that place, he
appointed M. Thiers as "President of the
Provisional Government" a recognition of
the service he had rendered totheBonapartist
cause. A few years later Thiers commence 1
tbe publication of his greatest work, "The
Consulate and Empire," tbe most maguiucent
monument ever erected to tbe memory of a
hero. Without the powerful stimulus which
Thiers gave to Bouaparttst sentiment in
Fiance, the second empire could not have
been inaugurated. And uow he is President
of the Provisional Government which sets
tbe seal upon its until overthrow.
Tbe star of tne liomptrto tauiiiy nas
doubtless set forever, and we would fain hope
that tbe expensive delusion that thegreatuess
of a nation depends upon its military estah
lisbment may be extinguiaUud in tbe minds
of Frenchmen. With the burden of debt
under which tbe nation must for a long time
stagger, there will be no place for its old in
toxicating dreams; and as its attention must
necessarily be directed chiefly to d imestio
affairs, let us hope that it may come to per
ceive that the true glory of a nation consists
in industry, commerce, art, civilization, and
the mental and moral elevation of its people
If the diminished armaments of France shall
remove the jealousy ad fears of other
countries, and lead to a corresponding rediio
tion of their establishments, the recent dis
asters will prove an ultimate blessing to her
and to all Europe. Let us hope that "Na
poleonio ideas" will fall into the same irre
trievable discredit as the Bonaparte family
an Italian exotic which has exhausted the soil
of France to feed its poisonous growth.
TIIE MILITARY POWERS OF THE
PRESIDENT.
f r,n the N. F. Tribune.
Has the President, under the Constitution
and laws of the United States, as expouudu 1
by the proper courts, any right, in time of
peace, to use the military forces of tue na
tion in any State without the application or
consent of its Legislature or Governor?
lb present system of government, unde
which tne republic has existed nearly a cen
tnry, should by tnis time nave become, one
would think, so well known certainly in a
matter of such primary and vital importance
that its prominent men could never need to
ask such a question, or fail to answer it cor
rectly when asked. Yetiu the receut debate
on the Deficiency bill, and iu the latest mes
sages of the Governors of New York aud
Pennsylvania, we have most abundant evi
dence to the contrary. In the debate in Con
gress Mr. Randall said:
"I am a living witness to tbe fact that United
Stales marines were brought to the polls in iuv dis
trict without any authority of la, and without any
request of the Uovernor of the St tin, as provided by
the Constitution of tbe United Slates."
In tbe same debate, General Logan, while
asserting he did not believe the President had
"used any power iu his hands beyond what
the law has authorized him to do," stated:
"And I will say, too, tint the way I understand
the law It does not give the President auy right to
send the army or th navy Into the States la time of
peace, in order to execute ttie civil law, except uoon
the request of the Legislature of the State, or of tho
Governor, in the absence or the Legislature."
And then we have the Governors of New
York and Pennsylvania emulating each other
iu their condemnation of the action taken by
the President in the use of the laud aud naval
forces at the receut elections. Governor
Geary says:
"The employment of United States troops at
elections, wituout the consent or the lo.ial and
State government, has recently received consider-'
able attention and reprehension. It Is regarded as
an interference with the sovereign rlxhts of the
States which was not contemplated dj tue fouuderg
of the General Government. At the last
Oc.obcr elect uin United States troops were sta
tioned In Philadelphia for the avoed purpose of
enforcing the election laws. This was done without
the cI.HeQt, or even the knowledge, of the civil
authorities of either the city or the SUie.
The proper and only time for United States millt iry
f 'lies to lutetveue will be when the power of the
Comuionwea'th la exhausted, aud their aid is law
ful!) required."
Tbis is said with reference to the enforce
ment of an act of Congress which the United
States Circuit Court has pronounced consti
tutional. The prevailing idea which under
lies the opinions of the statesmen above
mentioned is evidently that of the exclusive
sovereignty of the State the right to give or
withhold its military at its pleasure. It is, in
fact, the old political heresy of the S mth;
the same that caused Fort Sumter to be fired
npon, that paralyzed the United States Gov
ernment under Buohanan, caused Lincoln's
proclamation to be scoffed at by the Gover
nor of Kentucky, and the Southern officers to
quit the army when their Btates seoeded.
Article IV, section 4, of the Constitution
pays:
"The United Btates shall guarantee to every State
In this Union a republican lorin of government, aud
bliull piolect eaeli cf them against tuvasi 'i; a id on
application of the Legislature, or of tha Executive
(when the Legislature u uuot oe couveaed), agaiust
(loinebiic violence,"
The act of Coogre s of February 23, 17SI5,
passed during Washington's Administra
tion, sjs:
section 1. "That whenever the United State shall
be Invndt d or be in Imminent danger of Invasion.,
fioin any foreign nation or ludiau trlhs. It shall la
law iul fi r Ihe Prealdciit of tlie United Status tit call
forth fcuch nuiiio' r or the miliiu of Hie u'.e or
butts most cunvenleut to the place of danger or
peene of action, as he may Judge necessary to repel
such Invasion, aim to isnne his orders for that pur
pose to sncB oniotr or officers or therallltla as ne
shall think proper. And In case or an Insurrection
In anv State against the government thereor. I
shall 'lie lawful for the President or the United
States, on application or the Legislature or auc.n
State, or of the Executive (when the Legislature
cannot be convened), to call forth such number of
he militia or any otner state or States, asrotybe
pplli d for, as he may Judge sunilent to suppress
such lnsutrectloM."'
Section 8 "That wnenever the laws of tne United
States shall be oppose1', or the execution thereor
ibstincted. la auy Mate, by combinations too
powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary courso of
judicial proceeding, or by the powers vested In the
insrshals by this act. It shall be lawful for the Presi
dent or the United States to call forth the mllltla of
such State or or any other Stat or States, as may
be I'pcesssrv to suppress sucn combinations, and
to csuse the laws to be duiy executed."
Tbe aot of Congress of March .'J, 1807,
passed during tbe administration of President
Jefferson, prescribed:
"That In all cases of insurrection or obstruction
of the laws, either of the United States or of anr
Individual State or Territory, where it Is lawful for
the president or tne I'nitea (stares to can lertn tne
militia tor the purpose ol suppressing such Insurrec
tion, or of canning the laws to be duly executed, it
shall tie lawful t T him to employ, for the same pnr-
tore, such part or the land or naval rorce or the
nited States as shall be Judged necessary."
This act of 17S5 came before the United
States Supreme Court while presided over by
Chief Justice Alamball, in lS'JU, in tne case
of Houston a gt. Moore (r Wheatons llep.,
f. 15), and Mr. Justice Washington, in de
iveiing the judgment of the court, said:
The President a orders may be given to tne
Chief Executive Magistrate of the State, or
to any militia officer he may think proper.
Mr. Justice Johnson, ia delivering a conour-
rii'C opinion in this case, said (page .in:
"Historically it is Known mat tne act oi i i'J-
was passed with a view to a slato
of things then existing in tho
interior of Pennsylvania, when it
became probable that the President of the
United States would have to exert tho autho
ritv of the General Government immediately
on detached portions of the officers of tho
militia of tbe Union to aid in tne execution
of the laws of the United States." Later, in
1827, the United States Supreme Court, in
tLe case of Martin against Mott (12 Whea-
ton's Kep., p. 19), again ruled that "the act
of 171.r, which confers power on the Presi
dent to call forth tbe militia, in certain exigencies,-
is a constitutional law, and the
President is the exclusive and final judge
w better the exigency has arisen." Mr.
Justice Story, in delivering the opinion of
tbe Court, said (page 37): "The act of 170.1
is not confined in its operation to cases of re
fusal to obey tbe orders of tho President in
time of publio war. On the contrary, that
act authorizes tbe President to call forth the
militia to suppress Insurrections and to en
force the laws of the United States in times of
pence." recently, in 18U!, Judge Mason, of
the New York State Court of Appeals, while
delivering tbe opinion of that highly respact
able court in tbe case of The People agt.
Campbell (40 N. Y. Rep., p. 1.5G), used this
language:
"Congress, bv the act of February 8, 1T95, gave
full power to the Viesldent to call forth the mllltla
of the States for the purposes stated, to serve for
three months, and by the act of July 1MS62, tho
time was extended to nine months. Tan President
is tnauo the sole judge whether the exljrency has
arisen; and this call may be mado by tne President
upi n the State Executive, or by orders to any
subordinate oillcers of mUitia."
It is plain from these nets and decisions,
(1.) that when tho laws of the State are ob
structed, when there is domestic violence,
and the State is not, iu the judgment of its
Legislature or Governor, able to enforoe
them with its own power, and applies to the
United States for aid, tho President is em
powered to send into it the militia of the ad
joining Statef, aud (2.) that where tho ques
tion is either one of external danger or of re
sistance to tbe laws of the United States, the
Governors are but tho President's subordi
nates, and have no part whatever but such as
he may assign them. The President is the
commander-in-chief of all the foroes of the
couutry, and he can legally aud constitution
ally exercise his authority as such without the
consent or concurrence of any official whatso
ever. WATCHES. JEWELRY, ETC.
