THE CONSTITUTION.
It isno idle work, no waste of time or
labor, to keep the public mind steadily im-
pressed with the importance of confining
the war to its original objects. The
thoughtless man may see no danger, the
designing partisan may loudly protest that
there is no danger; but the danger exists
and is manifest that we may see the end of
this war only in the destruction of the
American Union, and the sacrifice of every
great principle which distinguished us from
the nations that had gone before us. Men
who think that the Constitution way be
safely laid on the shelf for a little while,
and the absolute will of Congress, or a Cab-
inet, or the President substituted for it,
reckon with blind confidence in their fellow
men, and uot as statesmen or patriots should
reckon. The Constitution was a glorious
invention, a magnificent work of statesman-
ship. it was believed to be fitted for the
Government of a people under all circum-
stances. It was tried in times of peace, and
it was not found wanting. On the coutiary,
the country prospered, the people were hap-
py, justice was administered between man
and man, and the nation was respected
among the nations of the carth. It was
tried in foreign war, and again it was not
found wanting. The army was ample, the
people were patriotic, the credit of the
government was abundant, and its arms were
victo.ious. Thus the Constitution had
proved sufficient for the two cases of war
and peace, and proved so because it was
tried. In the time of war, no one haa
imagined that its provisions made the Pres-
ident an absolute ruler, no one had believed
or dreamed that it authorized him lo assume
the reins of government, and do, as a * mil-
itary necessity,”’ whatever seemed to him
good, But there remamed a trial which
came under circumstances not before
known. A sectional party had won power,
and a rebellion and civil war brokeout. Then
it became a question whether the Constitu-
tion was still ample for the occasion ; and
if that experiment had been fairly tried we
bave no doubt that the result would have
proved it, as always it had been proved, fully
adequate to its own preservation through
this most terrible of trials.
But men attached to the dominant par-
ty, seized with the spirit of revolution, be-
gan to cry out against the trammels of the
Cor:titution. Stfict constructionists were
laughed at, and bold in their determina.
tion to wield power, the advocates of an
abandonment of the Constitution hurled
the epithet * trailor’ at every one who
sought to preserve the government by pre-
serving the charter of its existence. The
taint of disrespect for the Constitution en-
tered all circles of society. It was preach-
ed from pulpits, taught in the putlic places
of meeting and amusement, and the public
documents of the day, speeches of senators
and letters of men who ought to have been
the defenders of ihe great instrument, be-
gan to abound in expressions of disrespect
for the very foundation of the republican
temple.
1t is vain to deny the fact that through-
out tbe land exists a general disigspect for
the Constitution, and political demagogues
are enabled, by the existence of this dis-
loyalty, to instil into men’s minds notions
of a centralization of power, iustification of
measures that tend to the overthrow of lib-
erty : and, as a natural consequence, there
are many thousands of our citizens who
have come to the conclusion that the Uon-
stituticn 18 a failure, and that we are to
come out of this war with some new form
of government. It is against this wide-
spread idea that the exertions of all patri-
ots ought to be directed, When we talk
of the Union, we should distinctly make it
understood that we mean the old Union
under the old Constitution. When men
form Union Leagues they should be bound
to form them for the preservation of that
Union which our fathers established, and
they ought not to be allowed to blaspheme
the name of the Union by connecting it
with spcieties that are willing to see the
Coustitution destroyed and a new govern-
ment erected on its ruins.
There is no condition to which onr na-
tion 8 liable, for which the Constitution is
not ample in its provisions. There has
been no occasion, since this war began, for
any departure from its limitations. A
calm review of the history of the war will
convince a dispasionate observer that we
bave not derived any aid from any of the
unconstitutional measures which have been
used, and that we should have been more
united, stronger, and more successful had
we in all cases adhered strictly to the letter
of that fundamental law.
We are now approaching a time of great
danger to the republic, from the prevalence
of the notion that the Constitution may be
departed from in cases where the judg-
ment of certain individual citizens is in fa- |
vor of such departure as a pubiic measure,
The notion prevails with s ‘me men to such
au extent that they would willingly urge
the Administration to disregard the law,
for the sake of saving not the Union, but
a Union such as they think the Union
ought to be. The time is rapidly coming
when tke voice of the entire people is to
be taken in an election, A year 18 a brief
time in these days, and we shall hasten on
with tremendous speed to the mext Presi
dential election, That election ought to be
a free expression of the popular will. It
ought to be conducted on the most strict
constitutional principles. The present 1s
the time when all should inculecare the re-
spect for those principles on which we must
rely for that full and authoritative expres-
of that people's voice.
If the idea becomes too strong that the
Constitution can be laid aside in tite of
war, who can tell that a miaority controll-
ing the forms of government may not claim
that it ia their duty to direct, influence,
and determine the result of such an elec-
tion on the old plea of necessity for the
good of the country, as they think it? We
have no apprehension that Mr. Lincoln
would yield to such nouons, but there are
radical men, leading the radical party, who
avow the principles which would lead to
just such a result, if they could compel
their adoption. And downward steps are
easy. One becomes easier after the first,
and each successive violation of the Consti-
tution makes the next less difiicult.
WHO DIVIDED THE UNION?
I'he answer must be, the South, undoubt-
edly, if we look vo further Lack than the
several ordinances of secession passed by
their State Conventions. But what led to
such a State of public fieling in the South
that the passage of these ordinances of se-
cession became possible 7 The question goes
to the roots of the subject, and a correct
answer Lo it must fix the cltimate responsi-
bility for dissolution on the abolitionisis.—
True, there have long been demagogles in
the South who considered dissolution de-
sirable. But who gave to these demagogues
their power 2 Who supplied them with ar-
gumerts § Who enabled them to convince
a majority of the active and niflueuiial clas-
ses in the Southern States that they ought
not to remain in the Union ? What head
way could the secession demagogues have
made without Mr. Seward’s *“Iligher Law,”
without the abolition mobs for resistiog the
rendition of fugitive slaves ; without the lib-
erty “personal liberty bill”? passed to dv
feat a plain requirement of the Constitution
without the avowed and recorded abolirion-
ism of the great Republiean oracles, with-
out the vituperation and slanders of the
Tribune, the underground railroad, the irre-
pressible conflict, and John Brown’s raid ?
These are the things which alarmed the
southern mind. these the steps of the ladder
by which southern demagogues chmbed to
their ascendency. fle who digs under my
hecuse deposits gunpowder ,and lays the (rain
is as wicked as the incendiary who applies
the match.
"The evasive ingenuity by which the abo-
litionists seek to escape this. responsibility
is all in vain. No change of party names,
uo attempt to restrict political discussions
within the period since Mr. Lincoln's elec-
tion, can bind the people to the broad fact
that if there had been no sectional repubr
licon party there would have been no war,
Thic fact stands up in bold relief, like
the Atlassagainst the sky,and no artifice can
obscure it.
The Union was not held together by
merely political bonds, nor was it dissolved
all at once by merely political action. The
real dissolution was in the alienation of
feeling and sectional bitterness which pre-
ceded the severing of political ties. It is
notorious to all the world that it was the
abolitionists that sowed the seeds of this
alienation, that fomented this bitterness
Slavery was the sure and sensitive spot on
the social body of the Seath, and the
rough-haanded abolitionists kept rubbing it,
The greater the irritation they caused, the
more the object of their torture winced,
the oetter they scemed pleased. Much of
the zest of such books as Mrs. Stowe's
+ Uncle Tom’s Cahin,”’ (a took which was
high-toned and respectable compared with
the great mass of abolition libels and pas-
quinades,) consisted in a perception of the
sting they would inflict on sourthern sensi-
tiveness. It was like the pleasure felt by
a mischievous boy who sits on a shed and
shakes a red flag at a mad bull. This
reckless abolitionism had no respect tor
persons, uor places, nor the sacred things.
It entered the church of Christ with its
wrangles and its firebrands, and succeeded
in severing that before 1t dissolved our po-
litical Union. The churches of all the
great denominations (except the Catholic)
were organized very much like our politi-
cal institutions. They all had their several
state associations, which were represented
in a general convention just as the severa
states are represented in Congress. Ab.
olitionism flrst cntered the Methodist
church, as Satan, the author of discord,
entered Eden, and presently that great
body was divided, and the two sections
plunged in litigat on growing out of their
claims to their common property. The
Baptist church was next suudered by the
same means; snd then the Presbyterian.
It is true that m all these divisions it was
the South that seceded, but it is .ls) true
that the questions on whicn they divided
were thrust into the several conventions by
the abolitionists. it cannot be pretended
that this separation of the churches was
the work of ambitious demagogues, or that
the seceders were hurried into acting
against their deliberate judgment. The
great sectional schism in the church was,
purely the work of obtrusive abolitionism.
Though it preceded the politicalm separation
by several years, the analogy and connee-
tion is such as t) show that they resulted
from a common cause, You may say, to
be sure, that the South was insane on the
subject of slavery ; but that 1s merely a
different way of saying that their opinion
on that subject differed from yours. Your
attempt to domineer over their opinions,
and to overturn their social and industrial
system, is what broke up the Umon, You
may say, again, that this was only a pre-
text: but it still remains true that it was
the abolitionists who gave them this pre-
text in the face of repeated warnings of the
use they would probably make of it.
And our honest rail-splister at Washing-
ten is still swinging the enormous #bolition
bectle and delivering bis sturdiest blows
on the same wedge by which the: states
were separated. The Union is as yet only
a partially cleft log; if the abolition wedge
were knocked out the sides would epring
together aud leave only a seam. When,
by and by, the Democrats render this ser-
vice, let the abolitionists look out that their
fingers are not in the cleft.
The following is an account of the appear
ance of Lord Brougham aud the Bishop of
Exeter in the House of Lords. These remark-
able men are respectiviy of the ages of eigh
ty four and ninety,
**A noble and learned Jord, whose name
is historical and which will live with the
language, spoke a few evenings since in the
Lords, but not with a spark of that vigor
which shook that house during the memora~
ble trial of Queen Caroline, and afterwards
at the still wemcrable epoch of the Reform
Bill
The painfulbess of the incident consisted
in the aimost decrepid weakness the noble
and learned lord exhibited,a weakness which
was made the more painfully manifest when
he lopped in the midde of his speech, and,
in order to render his articulation easier to
himself and plainer ts his auditors, removed
the artificial adjunc’s to his mouth, 1t was
with no little d:ficulty that he could do sa,
and when he had accouiplished is his articu
lation was worse than it was before. He
stood upon the fluor of the House the wreck
of a great man indeed. leis now eighty
four years of age. Another legislative Nes-
tor that evening displayed the infirmity that
must, of necessity attend extreme old age.
An ecclasiastical question wes brought on—
something in connection with the burial ser-
vice--and the Bishop of Exeter, whois, I
believe, near ninety years of age, came down
to speak upen the subject. It was a pain-
ful sight. The old man atured in his full
cancnicals, as all the bishops are in the
House of Lords, rose from his seat, and,
tottering to the table, addressed himself to
the subject uiider consideration, but he had
not proceeded far when it was seen that he
could not battle with his infirmities, ana
he tottered Lack to his seat, and he was
allowed to conclude his observations while
seated. -

The Pittsburg Commercial, a few days

had announced himself favorable to Curun’s

the pains to get correct information on the
subject, and it now authoritatively states
that General George B McClellan is most
solicitous for the triumph of the Democratic
candidate. The correspondent of that Jjour-
