Put Him Up and We II [Knock Him.
Down 1
As things look now, Gattav stands
the best chance for the Radical nomi
nation for President in )872. As we
Lave said before, we trust he will be
nominated. In spite of the liwklux
bill, 'which gives hint the power to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus for
the imprisonment of the people; in
spite of all the advantages lie has to
re elect himself, be will be the easiest
man to beat that the Radicals can put
up. Ili 9 own party are disgusted with
him, and will desert him by thousands
if the Democrats only nominate a
good man against him. That they
will do this, there is not the least
doubt. The stakes in this game are
too valuable to lose, and we will not
lose them through any want of effort
or lack of judgment on our part. Wf
will put an able statesman into the
field, anti call the people to rally
around hint. 'rite empire which the
present executive has set up, and of
which he has made himself, through
his tools and lickspittles, the sole and
sovereign bead, must be overthrown
and destroyed, and the Republic of our
fathers re-established. To this work
we call the people. It is a great and
noble one, and is to be wrought in be
half of civil and religious freedom, not
only on this continent, but throughout
the world. Under the guidance of
Providence even the Radical party
itself is being made an instrument for
the accomplishment of this purpose,
inasmuch as it is taking the steps now
that will eventually insure its down•
fall. The Emperor is the incubus that
will drag it down to destruction, and
its death is to be its greatest contribu
lion to the liberty and happiness of
the people. The leaders of the Radi
cal party, blind to their own welfare,
hat's determined upon the renomina
tion of ITi.rsses the First, in defiance
of the wishes of the masses of their
supporters. It is a suicidal act for
them, but they can't see it, and we
trust they will continue to not see it
until after the act has been consul')
mated. We can beat GRANT, and beat
lion more easily than almost any ti her
man in the Radical party, and hence
the reason that we are so anxious to
see him nominated.
We ask all candid, earnest, sincere,
country-loving, Itepublicans,to join UM to
rescuing our beloved government from
total armihilation at the hands of the
tools of despotic power. We ask
them to help us restore it to its former
purity, and to guarantee to the people
once more a republican form of gov
ernment. Just now our government
is an autocracy. The power is all in
the hands of one man, and that man
one of the most ignorant and incapa
ble in the country. This state of things
cannot last. It must either grow bet
ter or worse, and it will grow worse
rapidly enough, unless the people in
terfere to better the situation. We
ask all losers of the country and re
p u bl i can ~P , Illen, to rally
around the I), I c.indidate, and,
under die bannerol constitutional gov
eminent, drive from power the
wretches who have usurped our liber
ties and robbed us of our birth-right as
free and independent citizens.
The danger of keeping GIANT longer
in power is in hie ignorance and disre
gard for constitutional law. Ile has
already trampled upon the meet sa

"STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION."
I3ELLEFONTE, PA., FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1871
The States and Federal Bayonets
There is one fatal sign, says an ex
change, which marks the discussion
or,political questions in this country tit
this present time, and that is, the
prevalence of a spirit of submission on
the part of the people to the dictation
Lion of power, merely because it is
power, without ilegard to the great
and sacred question of /yid and 'Con
stitutional law. In this way we have
riot only lost the spirit olonr.Constiiti
tion, but its form in rapidly fading
away. And, therefore, we bear, train
mere engrossers of delegated power,
what our Mthers would not have suf
fered from the true proprietors of am
(Mirky. For instance, we have seen
no effort on the part of the States to
protect their franchise from the inter
ference of Federal bayonets. And yet
every sagacious man must inwardly
feel that it ni not only the right, but
the duty, of the State to take immedi•
ate steps to protect itmeovereignty from
such a dangerous invasion. The leg
islatures of the States ought to proceed
immediately to set the whole force of
their courts and militia in perfect
working order to resist and punish
"such in monstrous crime against their
liberties Any federal officer who
undertakes such a commission as that
of interfering with State elections by
the Ilse of bayonets, or anything else,
ought to he arrested and tried by the
authorities of the State. Hanging is
not too severe a punishment for so
monstrous a crime. Indeed, no man
who invades a State for such a pur
pose ought ever to be allowed to es
cape beyound its jurisdiction.
The State, in such cases, can know
no difference between the tool of a
Federal Administration and all "old
Joni lisowx," for the law and the
right in both cases are the same II
the State constitution and the liberty
of its existence are to be overthrown,
it makes no difference whether the
work is done by a Federal Administra
tion or by a foreign Power. In such a
case, all the right which a State pos
sesses against a foreign Power it pos
sesses against a Federal Administra
tion. This is the law of the matter.
The Federal Government has no juris
diction over any matter which is not
delegated it by the States, and it may
lawfully be treated as a foreign Power
whenever it steps beyond its delegated
powers. The Supreme Court has over
and over again so decided.
We shall publish in our issue
of next week the letters of the six law
yers—Mi A I.I.IsTER, t YES, BlANcit-
AHD, YulteT, Yoi . Us and Buell—to
GEARY, requesting hie veto of the act
repealing the Law Library bill, and
upon whose statements lie based his
action in regard to the matter. If the
will of our people is to be defeated, we
intend that they shall know who is re•
sponsible for that defeat.
The Great Treaty
The full text of the Treaty of Wash.
as AlreitlN renehed the
Wittli• iL. grvnl 1,1011 of the docu
ment prei eta,. its publication An these
columns, we shall endeavor to present
an accurate and complete summary of
its contents. If portions of the treaty
are liable to criticism, as a whole, we
repeat the opinion expressed yesterday,
it will meet the hearty approval of the
American people. ' It is evident that
the commissioners have approached
the important questions submitted to
them with a sincere desire to bring
about a satisfactory and permanent
peace, that could not be marred in fu•
ture by the intrigues of demagogues on
either side of the water.
'rho British commissioners are au
thorized to express the regret of their
government for the escape of the Ala
bama and other •essels from British
ports, and for the depredations com
mitted by those vessels. This is the
apology which Sumner insisted should
have been inserted in the Clarendon-
Johnson treaty. In order to provide
for the settlement of the Alabama
claims, a tribunal of five arbitrators is
to be appointed. One is to be named
by the President of the United States,
one by Her Britannic Majesty, one by
the King of Italy, one by the President
of the Swiss Confederation, and one by
the Emperor of Brazil. The tabitra•
tore are to meet immediately at Gene
va and examine and decide all ques
tions that shall be laid before them on
the part of the governments of the
United States and Great Britain. A
majority of the arbitrators are to de
cide,all questions.
Dh deciding the matters, submitted
to the arbitrators they will be governed
by the following rules. A nentrargov

Theme rides of international law
completely cover the Alabama claims.
The British government does not as
sent to them as in force at the lime
when the claims arose, but the arbitra
torn are to 118SIIrne that. the British
government hail undertaken to act on
principles, and to decide all dia•
limes in accordance with them. These
sound and just rides are to guide both
governments in future, and ether nn
mule are invited to accede to them.
The decision of the arbitrators shall,
if poasible, be made in writing within
three months from the close of the ar
gumentn on both sides. The tribunal
may determine the liability of Great
Britain as to each vessel separately,
or IL may, if deemed proper, award a
sum in gross to be paid to the United
States by Great Britain. In such case
the auto shall be paid in coin within
twelve months alter the day of the
award. In case the tribunal find that
Great Britain hair failed to 1111011 her
dirties in accordance With the rules
laid down, and do trot award a 811111 111
gross, a Board of Assessors is to be ap
pointed to ascertain and determine
what claimer are valid, and what
amount shall be paid to the United
States on account of each vessel. One
member of the Board of Assessors is to
be appointed by the President of the
United States, one member by Her
Britannic Majesty, and one by the
minister at Washington of trio King of
Italy. The Board of Assessors shall
be organized in \Vashington, with
power to hold their sessions there or in
New York or Boston. The members
shall decide in justice and equity all
matters summated to them. A Ina
pray shall make a decision, and shall
hear on each claim, if required, one
person on behalf of each government.
ach claim shall be presented to the
assessors within six months from the
day of their first meeting; but for good
cause shown the time for presenting any
claim may be extended for a further
period of three months. The assessors
shall report to each government with
in one year from the date of first meet
ing, the amount of claims decided by
them. In case any claims remain urn
decided they shall make a further re
port within two years from the day of
first meeting ; arid in carte any remain
undetermined at that time, they Ethan
make a final report within a further
period of six 11101101 P. All FllllllB of
money att arded under this article shall
he paid at %Vitirliingtorr in coin within
twelve months alter the delivery of
each report. The result of the pro
ceeding of the Tribunal of Arbitration
and of the Board of Assessors is to be
a full, perfect. and final settlement of
all claims referred to in the Treaty,
and every claim, whether presented or
not, shall, from and after the close of
the proceedings of the Tribunal and
Boarii, be considered as finally settled
and barred, and henceforth inadmisai
ble.
For the adjudication of the claims of
British subjects against the United
States growing out of the war, three
Commissioners are to be appointed;
one by the President of the United
States, one by Iler Britannic Majesty,
and one fry the President and the
Queen of England conjointly. In case
of failure to agree within three months
from the ratification of this treaty, the
minister at Washington of the King of
Spain shall name the third ColllllljB
- The Commissioners shall meet
at Washington, and shall be governed
by the same rules which are laid down
for the guidance of the Assessors.
In regard to the sea fisheries it is
stipulated that the inhabitants of the
United States shall have equal privi
leges with British subjects in British
water for a period of ten years from
the date of treaty; and in American
waters, British subjects are to have the
equal
_prrifAsges with citizens of the
Uniterirates for the same period.
This provision applies solely to the
sea fishery and not to the salmon, shad
and other fisheries in rivers and the
mouths of rivers. Fishoils and fish
of all kinds, except fish of the inland
lakes and rivers falling into them, shall
be admitted into each country free of
duty. As the British government in.

States fishery privileges of greater
value than those yielded by this goy.

disagreement, the minister at London
of the Emperor of Austria shall name

sioners shall meet in the city of Hali
fax, at the earliest convenient day af

The navigation of the river St. Law•
rence Is to remain forever free and
open for purposes of commerce to the
citizens of the United States, and the
navigation of Lake Michigan is to be
free anti open for the some purposes to
British subjects. for a period of ten
years. The British government enga

to secure to the citizens of the United
Slates the use of the Welland, St. Law

and the United States government
agrees to urge the several State gm ,
ernments to senor° the British subjects

with the navigation of the lakes or
rivers contiguous to the boundary line
between the liniled States and Canada
on terms of equality.
For the period of ten years, or until
notice given thereafter of a wish to
terminate thus part of the treaty, goods
and merchandise arriving at Neu ,
York, Boston arid other American
ports, and destined for the British
Possessions, may be conveyed through
the United States without the payment
of duties, under such regulations arid
conditions as may protect the reretaues
of the United States; and goods and
merchandise may, under like regula

through the territory of the United
States for export, without the payment

tries in regard to the free shipment of
lumber.
The Emperor of Germany is consti•
tuted sole arbitratpr to settle the Van

the emperor may choose to adopt.
Such are the outlines of Lllift treaty.
It covers all qustions, great and small,
which remain open between the goy
ernmen Is of the two countries and of
Canada. If ratified there will be an
end of controversy between the two
countries for years to come. All pre
texts for war will be completely oblit
crated. The principle of arbitration is
recognized throughout the treaty.
The four important points in contro
versy, the Alabama claims, the claims
of British subjects, the fisheries, arid
the North Nesters boundaries are all
submitted to arbitration, arid no less
than live commissions are appointed,
This is an admirable feature of the
treaty, and it conclusively evinces a
sincere desire for an lionorab!ic peace
on the part of those who were engaged
In framing it. If reciprocity in trade
with Canada. is riot so complete as
could be desired, an important step
has been made in the right direction.
We apprehend that no formidable ob
jections will be interposed either in
Great Britian, the United States or the
Dominion to a prompt ratification, to
be followed by a complete and lionora
settlement of every private claim.

In New York. It was opened about a month
