don Timor appears to have just made the
dissevery that tho President has no pewee,
ind saosiat tansephittany averstherlestentern
of the sever'] States. Of slavery the Tunes
asks:
But be* does President Pearce doal with
it? With admirable logic, and with pro
found Constitutional lore ..and triumphant
emcees: Wlr take it, lien can hardly be a
question on the subject, after his able expo
sition of the 11w , the private affair of
each State that is, or is to he. The State
elope can alter'ibi own imititutions. Not all
the States together that now are can lay
down the law for any State that in to be,
eithir on this side that line of latitude or on
the other. Organization to effect this pur
pose, by immediate interferende with elce•
lions, or by turning the biaane_of the pop
ulation, or by.pmoottring Lets of Congress, or
bykulluencing public opinion, in equally un
constitutional, and has equally been fruntra.
ted in all these developments.
The Federal CoMitituOen does not possess
within itself the means of altering shailawir.
of a State. Tho very agitation or discus
sion, the attempt to influence the mind and
enlist the sympathies In favor of the Oman
citation of the negro, is treasonable ; much
more any alteration in the laws of one State
with a view to alter the lowa of another, or
to Impede the enforcement of that law. The,
Missoiri Compromise, snot any agitathin
against the extradition of the fugitive slaves
Ira thee unanswerably disposed of. In Kan•
gas, unfortunately made the battle held of
this diideyul agitation, there might for aught
the President knew, be irregularities in the
election ; there certainly were overt ants
'Wittra • view to alter the federal law. So
soya Mr. Pierce. With the former he bad
nothing to do. They were the affair of the
State itself. The latter, it was his duty to
repress in behalf of the Union, as he did. -.-
The result of the Presidential election gave
the verdict of the whole population in favor
of his policy , and this view of COustitutional
law ; Henceforth, then, all is plain sailing.
There ought to be to dispute. Sing, then,
without fear, the song of unbounded pros
perity, from sea, to sea, from earth to heav
en, with an 'overgrowing, over brightening
future ; embilitlng now, States, diffusing new
laws of peace and humanity, teaching even
the laggard morality of the Ul l Workl, su
perseding its Camps and armies, its fleets
and its cruisers. Never was so much can
vass spread on so bright a sea, with
! s.) fair
a wind, to so delightful a heaven.
