Ono would think tlint overruling hcccMity, vhcn shown, would exctno o slight n devi ation 'from strict compllnnco with the law.

In tho general result, ns In tho prior case of jitssourl and Michigan. Unlets a plen of necessity can be entertained In cases similar to that of Wisconsin, the meeting of Elec tJin nt any other tlmo than that fixed by act of Congress, will always render their votes absolutely void.

Voto east by immtturc States : It may bo safely nsscrted that n Stato must be an ndtual and not merely a prospective member of the Union when 1U olcctor.il voto is cast; that its admission Into tho Union afterwards, before the count, will not, by relation, vali date its prior vote9. The cases of Indiana In 1317, of iMfesourl In 1821 and of Michigan irfl837 raised this question, or involved Its discussion, mid tbo proceedings In Cotigrees upon them may bo consulted for the moat remarkable Illustrations of 'How not to du it which our history nll'ords. Hy n ques tionablc decision tho votes of Indiana were received and counted, but thoso of Missouri arid Michigan wero received tub motto nnd otdy hypothetical! stated In tho general re sult by virtue of concurrent resolutions of tlie two IIouso. Substantially ,they wero not al lowed as votes given of right by tho States in'questlon, (Annals of Congress, 181G-1817, pp 013-50 ; Id. 1820-21, pp. 1117-G3 ; 15en tob'a Ab. Deb. XIII, 1!G5, 278-SO.) , Votes from Slates not in a condition to appoint Electors: A claw of States falling under this head may be described to be : States "whoio inhabitants nnd local author hies" are,at th-s time of appointing Electors, "in such condition that no valid appoint ments nre made" a description applied by the Joint Resolution of Congress of Feb. S, 1833, (Cong, atolt, 1831-5, App. 15D), to the Southern Status, including Arkansas, Louisiana nnd Teunosscc, in which loyal State Governments had been re-established mid in two of which electoral rotes had been cast. After protracted debate in the Senate, In which tlie cViiih uf L mi.-il.wa in particu lar to participate In the Presidential election wtiru pres.se I, the Resolution pasted that body by a vote of 29 to 10. The refusal of electoral vjlot to Liuisiitu and Tenneute on that occasion was fully justified by con siderations quite independent of their prior position as seceded States, and it was by the Resolution put distinctly upon the ground of their actual condition in November 1801 when their Electors had been appointed. Their "inhabitants and local authorities" wero at that time "in such condition" that full, fair and free election and appointment of Electors had not beou secured. Some troops of tho United States were stationed In thoso States, exorcising exceptional in fluence upon elections tho voto in each was but partly polled the local govern ments were, if notjirre.jular, at least oxcep t onal in character and there was some dis trust and animosity among the ponple anc between them -and their rulers. As describ ed by Senator Sumner, they were in their restored position to tho Union, "States born of the bayonet," nnd their political organi zations and social life were still in n degree unsettled nnd insecure. The Joint Resolution of 20th July 183S, ( Globe, 18G7-8, App. 573), which deuied elec toral votes to unreconstructed States, was in the same line of exclusion though upon different ground, and was more limited in its application. At the February count of 1831). the electoral-votes of Georgia were objected to upon grounds covered by the foregoing Resolu tions, and were only received upon the hy pothesis that they would not change the general result. Tho form of announcing them was settled, upon the 'precedent of 1821, 1837 and 1857,abovo mentioned, but their recognition in any form was stoutly objected to in joint meeting. They were an nounced in the midst of tumult and disor der, as had been the votes of Michigan in 1857. At the same count of 1830, the votes from Louisiana were objected to by Mr. Mullius of tho House of Representatives, because "uo valid election of Klectors had been held in said Slate." Tho objection was con sidered in each House and it was decided to count the votes, but by motions made by Mr. Morton and by Mr. Poole in the Senate laid by Geu. Schenck in the House, it ap pears that a main reason for tho decision was that there was no proof beforo tho Hou ses U sustain the objection not that the objection was insutlicient but that it was unproved. (Globe, 180S-9, pp. 1018-50, 1050-7). In 1873 tho electoral votes of Louisiana were eciuarely rejected by both Houses of Congress, voting separately after objections made in joint meeting, and partly for rca sons covered completely by the Resolution of 18C5. The voto to reject was adopted in the Sjnate by a vote of 33 to 10, and in the House of Representatives without a divis ion. Globe, 1872-3, pp. 1203, 1302-5) There can be no question, even though there wero no examples to prove it, that a State may be in such a disturbed or excep tional condition that no fulr and true elec tion can be held in it or reported from it. 1U local authorities may bo unreliable its peoplo turbulent military force may over awe it corruption may assail it and fraud may be organized to.sport .villi and to falsify returns. The case must be an extreme on, but when it presents itself and a demand I made for the allowance of electoral votiH to tho State, that demand should bo stcrulv rejected by Congress. In tuch case no pm -f r but tho two Houses can net, or ought to bo permitted to act, for its consideration in volves a judgment upon political conditions which a court cannot pronounce and tho Executive ought not to be permitted to give. C. Votes cast by unlawful Electo al Colleges; An unlawful College is ono the members of which have been Insufficiently or wrongfully appointed, or not appointed at all, uud its condemnation will bo pronounced by either Federal or State Jaws, or both. Of eouric, whenever In Its composition or origin u Col lege is shown to bo unlawful, iu acts wilt hao no validity nd Its votes will be void. A College composed wholly of Federal ofllio holders, or of members appointed nt some other time thau that fixed by Congress by direction uf tho Constitution, wo.ild bo plainly unlawful, So also a College with members appointed In nny other manner than that directed by tbu Legislature of their State, or, we may add, by palpable fraud, even under the forms of law, for then there would be up actual appointment by the State as required by the Constitution. JThe regulations made by the Legislature of a Htste for tho appointment of Electors must be consistent with the Constitution of tho United Stales nnd with tho Constitution of their own Stale, (to tho support of both which Instruments thoy nro sworn), nnd must be otherwise npproprlnto to tho end for which tho power of regulation was conferred upon them. With thoso limitations their regulations of the manner of Appointing Electors are to be completely respected by all nuthorltles of the United States, nnd thoso regulations nro primarily to be applied nnd enforced by Stnto nulliorlllis executive and judicial. Hut, apparently, with tho appointment of Electors sJlato ngency ends nd Federal reg ulation begins; for a College, though the product of Stato action, Is essential.)' a Fed eral Institution, created for Federal pur poses, to which tho Federal Constitution ad dresses direct commands. Its lawful consti tution as well as Its proceedings nnd returns is therefore a proper nnd necessary object of Inquiry by Federal authority. And here we reach n question of evldcnco which will bo variously answered by dispu tants In debate, according to the exigencies of argument and to the positions of thoo who reply. Ono will tell us that a Govern or's certificate of the appointment of Electors for a Stato Is prima facie evldcnco of their lawful appointment and authority ; another, that such certificate Is conclusive evidence; while still another, In tbo language of an accomplished gentleman nnd former Clerk of tho national House of Representatives, will inform us that, in his opinion, such cer tificate is "prima facie absoluto evidence" of the same thing! Passing by the last men tioned opinion ns not quite comprehensible to the common mind, wo may inquire whether tho first or the second of these opinions Is to be accepted as the true one. These certificates of Governors of States are not required by, or oven mentioned in tho Constitution of the United Stales, aud have therefore only a statutory sanction. And tho act of Congress of March 1st, 1702, which provides for them, whllo it manifests a claim by Congress to regulate the returns or certificates of electoral appointments, is ycry plainly directory only in several of its provisions, including tho certificate section, and docs not assign to tho certificates to bo Is sued under it any conclusive, effect or valuo. Governors' certificates aro known tons in other cases of State selections to Federal posts of duty, end bear a well defined char acter. Ity tho act of Congress of 25th July 1838 nn election of United States Senator from n State, is tn be certified by tlie Gov- criiorof the Stale. Elections of Represent atives from States are certi lied by tho same authority nu 1 constituto the evideuuo upon which a new Home of Representatives is or ganized every eeond year. Turning to the 4th section of the lt Articlo of tlie Consti tution we find that the ti.ncs, places and manner of electing Senators nn'l Represent atives in Congress, is to be prescribed by the Legislature of each State, (though Congress may make or niter such regulations); a pro vision very similar to that relating to the np poiutment of Presidential Electors. Now these Senatorial, Representative and Electo ral certificates made by Governors, upon re turns of elections in their States by tho peo ple or Legislatures, will have a uniform character and force at evidence unless strong reasons to the contrary appear. And yet no point of law is more firmly established than tho point that Governors' certificates of Senatorial and Representative elections are prima facie ovidence only, and liable to be set nside upon countervailing proof. In some notable cases they have not been per mitted to take effect even in the first instance, where other evidence, of which Rjpreseuta tive bodies could take notice, convicted them of illegality or falsehood. It is no sufficient answer to this argument to say, that each House of Congress is au thorized by the Constitution to judge of the elections and returns of its members. They have that power and would, on general prin ciples of parliamentary law, have had It if the Constitution had been wholly silent upon tho subject. Rut tho power of the two Housos to inquire into the lawful character of an Electoral College whether it has been in fact appointed by the Stato aud in the manner lawfully directed aud is thercforo constitutional being conceded, a Govern or's certificate of electoral membership be longs inevitably to the same class of proofs with his certificates of membership in Con grcss,as to tho force and cfiect to bo given it as evidence. If the two Houses have no such power of inquiry, it is quite immaterial how an electoral ccrtiticate shall be classed. To say that they do not possess tho power of inquiry because such certifijato concludes them, is to beg tho question In dispute. If, therefore, it has been established that tho two Houses have tho power and arc charged with the duty of enforcing the Constitution in the particulars above mentioned, a Gov ernor's certificate is not tho sole and conclu sive evidence, which they can receive upon the inquiry to be made. The doubt which might attach to this rea soning if tho Governor's act In making an electoral certificate wero considered as done under Stato authority under somo regula tion by the State Legislature of tho manner of appointing Electors wholly disappears when wo remember that the certificate is made under an act of Congress and conse quently within the domain mid jurisdiction of Federal power. That tho certificate section of tho net of 1702 is directory only and not imper .tive, nnd a Governor's certificate not Indispensable to the validity of a return of electoral votes, is shown by the decision of tho two Houses of Congress in the case of Texas in 1873. A certificate of an acting Secretary of Stato was, in that case, held to be sufficient, ami the electoral votes of the State were received and counted. Globe, 1872-3, -p 1280-01 1300, 1301, 130.'),) At the same count of 1873, tho certificate of the Governor of Louisiana was held not tn conclude tbo two Houses. Upon other evidence and looking behind bis certificate, th i votes from that Sti-.te were rejected. (Globe, 1872-3, pp 1302-0. 1292-3.) Jt is scarcely necessary to add,thi.t a fraud ulent Executive certificate, like other fraud ulent papers, would be unlawful and reject- able, quite independent of its character In other respects aud of the authority by which It was Issued. Having now concluded our examination of the grounds upon which electoral votes should be njtcted by tho two Houses of Congress, it remains to summarize tho rcqul sites of legal voles which uud be counted against wbkh no proper objection can be made. Tliev are : Vytes of Stutts in the Unlou when they are cast, nnd In n condl tlou political and social to appoint Elector; which dIihII have Iteen cast by the proper number of quallGcd Electors, chosen in the in tuner directed by tho Leglnlalura of a State, at the tlmo fixed by Ccngrvts, who shall have lawfully assembled to cast them at tho time fixed by Congress and havo cast nnd certified them in the manner directed by tho Constitution, fur qualified candidates. Votes falling under this general description uro tho rightful votes of this .State', with which uo power can meddle and which uo power can reject. The disputed Halts .- From hat has been shown above, vn may conclude with con fidenco that tho Electoral Collego ofLotilsl nna.of tho prctent year, tho appointment of whoso members was certified by Gov. Kel logg, was an unlawful body and its votes void, becaiiso tho Returning lloard,whlch In fact appointed It, was Itself nn unlawful body nnd plainly exceeded nny jurisdiction which could be claimed for it under tho Inws of the State. That tho nctlon of that Hoard wns nlso fraudulent in purpose and in face ami thcicforo Invalid, appears reasonably certain upon tho evidence beforo us. In South Carolina there was open defiance of tho Court of highest resort In the State by the Returning Hoard an unlawful re turn of Electors choseu,whlle they were be fore the Court upon a rulo to show cause why they should not canvass tho county In connection with tho precinct returns. If it shall be shown In tho Investigation now In progress, that the true returns, lawfully ex amined and certified, would have shown a different result from that announced, the conclusion of intended fraud by them as well as unlawful conduct wilt bo inevitable. In Florida, tho question Is upon tho law ful powers of tho Returning Hoard under the laws of the State, ns determined upon regu lar Inquiry In Its Courts, and upon the fair or fraudulent purpose with which tho re turns of election wero manipulated by the Ibard,, In this case also tho pending inves tigation will furnish to Congress ample means for forming an intelligent and just judgment. SJTho Constltullon.rightly taken, vindicates itself in this great emergency. In requiring the two Houses to canvass and coun) the electoral votes.lt cosipols careful considera tion of each case of dispute by representative men of both the great parties of the country, so that n result when arrived nt shall have n sanction and command a degreo of respect which could not otherwise be obtained. To tho Representatives ot tho People and of the States it commits tho duty of seeing to it that the Constitution nnd laws of the coun try shall on this occasion be impartially ex ecuted, that falsehood shall bo purged from electoral returns, thnt illegal, usurped au thority Junder pretended forms of law shell not tamper with'the votes of tbo people, nr.U that no man by means of fraud or force shall be made to nscend to tho highest seat of power In tho Government of the Uuitcd States. Notwithstanding the strong party interests involved In tho issue.and the passions which thatissuo'is calculated to produce, wo have n right to expect nn honorable and satisfac tory result from tbo labors ( f Congress. It will bo by conference between leading men, conducted in n spirit of conciliation and guided by patriotic aims, that a basis ft r true judgment will be reached. Then tech nical niceties nnd extreme views will be put aside or overruled, and justice, the practice of which 'Is the salvation of Statcs,will com pletely prevail. C. R. Ruckai.ew. Hloomsburg, Dec. 22, 1873. SO JIB LAWS. TO TIIR COLUMBIAN. Sins : Coming to examine, n few days ago, the law in relation to tlie pay of County Commissioners, I found that almost every county in the State had its own local regula tion upon tho subject. From one dollar nnd a half to five dollars I believe it ranges ; and there is no reason for f he difference. Under tho new Constitution a general law on the subject seems advisable ; and n settling of the per diem pay at a sum not less than three dollars. A sum less than that scarcely pavs tho expenses ; nnd yet competent men nre ex pected and required to give days and weeks nf time, care, attention aud responsibility to the public county business. I call tho at tention of the lawmakers to the subject. At the same time another reform may ns well bo had. The law creating Jury Com missioners Is no longer valuable. Under the new Constitution the minority party has ;i representation in tlie Hoard of County Commissioners in every county. A law re pealing tho Jury Commissioner act,and pro viding that tho wheel bhould be filled by the County Commissioners in prveuco of the Sheril)', and tho Jul its diawu in the same way, would dispense with more thun a huti- ilrcd officers, and subserve tho ends of public justice quite us effectually and at'f.ictorily as tlie proscnt method. These aro matters of importance and con venience, and.shouid have tho attention of the Legislature : and such things aro nn ally overlooked by the great patriots who servo us in the Hulls at Harrisbuig. A. R. The enterprising firm of Chandler,Oamei- on & Co. radical manipulators of elections, have discovered a new source of dread. At- cording to these veracious statesmen a secrtt circular has been discovered,uddrcKsed to nil the commanders ot the militia and armed n.ganizations of the South, reciting that it is the desire of the Democratic managers to havo an imposing military demonstration at tho time of tho inauguration of Tild n and OTJesting tho rejipim; of tho circular to notify tho person neuding it whether his command can attend, how larg) it will be, and especially to give the leorl of the officers, number, calibre, character and quali ty of its rifles and fioltl pious. A blank is left for tho signature of the peoon fending it. h is an inter.y.iiu story but when wo mention that tho report appears in the New York 7J)im, of course all iriti-ieni in it will fall flat. That dclulitlul p.ipi r would travel forty mills uroiuid the truth to get at u lie, nnd nothing em.iiMiiiiig from its i lliee is en titled to a particle of lilief or respect, ex cept in the circlet fiepiented by ICuok Chand ler Don Ciineron and o'.lnr incendiaries of their clnis, Cainirun however in Secretary of War will uiiiloiitileillv ma';e use of tho rumor in some iv.iy and w lut.-wr way that may b. it is certain to ho to the public detri ment.

(HUNT OAUfUJI) HY MILITARY LAW. Our modern Co-sar assumes more power than was exorcised by his prototype in the RomAn Umpire. Cromwell assumed to cut off tho head of Charles 1st, and disperso Par liament un lor tho sanction of law. Tho French commune mndo rivulets of blood run through the streets: of Palis in tho name of "Liberty." Hut Grant does not protend to justify his conduct by constitutional or statute law. His plea is "military necessity," tho last resort of tyrants. Lot him bo judged by his own tribunal. As a West Pointer, ho should havo rend "Dehart's Military Law," a text book thero. and used by Courts Martial in tho latowar. We quote the following extract from a speech mado by tho senior editor of tho Coi.UMMAn in tho Legislature in 1872. Now, Mr. Chairman, I havo here what is rceoitnizcd in tho United States Army ns au thority on military law. I read from nago 17, DoIIart's Military Law: "Martial law extends to all poisons; military law to all military persons, but not to tiioso in a o'vil capacity, "How and where, under particular conjunc tures of the time, martial law may lw declar ed, and by whom is not heio considered ; but tho proclamation of such a rulo within tho limits of tho United States, is a very question able proceeding, nad thought to bo an 'ei crc.sccnco' notwanantcd or sanctioned by nny 'distemper of tho State.' Tho Mib-titutinn of this power for tho civil courts, subte-.'it-) all persons to the arbitrary will of an individual and to imprisonment for an indefinite peiiod, or trial by a military liody. 01' such high importance to tlio puhlio is tho preservation of personal liberty, that it has been thought that tinjust attacks even upon life or property at- the arbitrary will nf tho magistrate nro less dangerous to the Common .vcalih than such as nro mado upon the personal libcity of the citizen." On pairo fiUcen the N-ttno author says: "The profession of arms nfferin ; but low op portunities for tlio acquisition of that species of knowledge Iwhii-h, in a tcchuic.il form, is mado most available) in limits of law, and the youth and incxperioiro of a great number of its members being siieh as to unfit them for tho decisions of questions depending even up on settled principles of interpretation, when called upon suddenly to act, much b.-.s thoo which aro in subtle argument's and intricate circumstances, inako it still moic ilcsirablc that the jurisdiction nfbody, which from time to time they aro called upon to exercise, a id to whoso authority thev aro at all times sub ject, should have its limits defined as clearly as iKissible, both for their guidance and their safety. Rlackstonc, whose Commentaries a:o the first bonks placed in the hands o( tho student at law, in ppoakingot this subject, says : "It is to lie looked upon only ns n temporary ex crescence bred out of the distemper of the State, and not as any part of tho peruiannt and perpetual laws of tho kingdom. For martial law, which is built upon no settlor principles, but is entirely nrbitiarv in its de decisions, is, as Sir Matthew Halo observe, in truth and reality no law, but something in dulged rather than allowed as law." And the learned writer goes on to sav that any person condemned by court-martial to bo executed in times of peace under euch cirenm-stanco-, that it is murder by tho courts, and that the men are all indictable. If (hero is anything in the world that wo should shun above everything else, it is the existence of martial law in time of peace; a body of men compelled by their oaths not to div'nlgo any thing that transpires, and their ballots to be civen in secret, commenciiiL' with tlm imp junior in rank, tho judge advocate there all tna time, anu sueti questions to be put to the witnesses ns he deems proper a form that has existed from tlio time of King Edward to the present." SAUCE F0II THE OntlSK 'S SAUCE FOR THE GANDER. The returns of Cronin as elector from Ore gon, under tho forms of law is a tlop of radi cal medicine they do not wish to swallow. If legal, Tilden is elected. If not legal, the cer tificates of tho Canvassing Hoards of South Carolina, Florida, and Loiminn, aro open to inspection by Congress. Rut tho Hccord of the 7im, generally a fair organ says : JuBtico W.W. Upton, of tho Supreme Court of Orcenn, ought to know something nf thn laws of the State, nnd it isgcnorally rnnrodol that he does. Judeo Upton was recently tel egraphed to by his brother, a prominent banker of 'Rochester, New York, asking for his opinion as to tholepalitynfOovernorGro vcr's net in certifying the election of tbo de feated candidate Cronin. The answer of Jus tice Upton is as follows: Portland, Dec. 8, 1870. Tho Stato statute authorize- Cartwright and Odell to fill the vacancies. Their votes nre cast for Haves, and attached to tho Stale canvass, coitified under tho Stato seal of Urcgon. 1 lie Constitution prohibits the Ex ecutive oxercisimr judicial functions, or pass ing on Watts' disqualification. Orover only Impel to throw out the who'o voto. lie failed. W. UrroN. Judge Upton has given an extra-judicial opinion, but snpposo wo take for granted what ho says, and what the 7i'mt claims. If Judge Upton's opinion, out of court, fettles tho Oregon epiu3tiou in favor of Hayes so far as Cronin i concerned, the unanimous, decis ion of the Supremo Couit of South Carolina, all Republican, in a ca o properly before them, in favor of Tilden having the electoral voto of that State, Battles the Presidential question in favor of Tilden.

Long, n Republican, wns dcclnrcd elected Representative by Kellogg's ReturnlngHoard but, probably to the astonishment of that body, Vc wroto thorn a letter declining to ro ceivo their certificate. He says that ho Is a Republican from principle, but was clearly delented, and ho will not submit to having tho vote of the peoplo overruled. Ho de clares that the election was fair, that there was no Intimidation, ntid he knows of no fraud. If tho Hoard acted honestly, ho thinks they wero grossly deceived. Mr. Long is deserving of the respect not only ol his constituents but of tho whole people. Ho has proved what many havo doubted that there Is yet honesty in ills party in Louisiana. All honor to him for his manly truthfulness. Ills letter will not affect the Hoard to nny extent, nnd thoy will probabl) give his ccrlificnte to some party hanger-on who hasn't any thing to do and who has no conscience to trouble htm. The Hoard hav ing no vestige of a reputation to loso nr. perfectly Independent of public opinion. It is however n blessed thing to have a mem ber of their owu party call them scoundrel. in n polite way. How Wm M. Evarls must enjoy being a member of tho Republican party just now I Let tho Peoplo Now Speak. Tho tlmo has now nrrived when peoplt who havo a desire for the perpetuation ol our present form of government should take sides, and by their piotcsts against wrong compel the men who nro assiduously engag ed in undermining tho foundations ol Amerb can liberty, to desist from their treasotiabh work. For reasons that i ted not ho speclfi ed, the Dem icratio p-irty has homo itscll thtough nil the cxc'llug contest of the pasi month willi a calmness uot less commcuda bio than surprising. It lias quietly toloratcd tho usurping proceedings of tlio Administra tion, in tho liopo tl a, eventually tlio force ot public opiuion would so intimidate tlio con spirators that they would forego further ns suulLs upon constitutional liberty. Rut that hope has been sadly disappointed.

Like hit ,ijsitinii ami boldly declare III- st'lltllllOlltS. Then' nru imperative1 reasons why this should be done, anil promptly.

To encourago them further in that belief would be criminal. They must be taught that they have reached the length of their tethers ; that they have tested popular forbearance to the fullest ex tent of endurance, and that now they must call a halt and pay some respect to the man dates of the Constitution. They have taken this forbearance of the people for submission , popular silence for acquiescence in their in famous plots, and the absenco of indignant demonstrations throughout tho country, for Hpatliy uud indiHercuce on tho part of the masses. Let them now be undeceived. Let tho people assemble themselves iu public moHings, and not only protest against con summated wrongs, but imperatively demand that those now iu process of consummation by Grant nnd his follow conspirators shall be abandoned, nnd that law and justice shall prevail. Thero must bo clear, outspoken and determined opposition to every move of the Administration that has not tho full sanction of law. Already tbo UMirpatious of "the man on horseback at tne other end of the avenue" have shocked the sentiment ol tho Nation, an-i havo alarmed nil those who aio imbued with a single spirk of pat riotism. Not a moment should ;bo lost. Prompt and decisivo action should be the feature of the hour. From every city, town and village should go forth protests that wi 1 nit be misunderstood, and demands for il.o maintenance of law that not even the stolid man thnt stands at the head of the Govern ment will bo likely to misinterpret or disic gard. I'hila. Chronicle. Patrick Henry's Prophecy. Do not the words of Patrick Henry in the Virginia Convention on the adoption of tho Constitution of 1788 have especial significance nt this timo? "Your President may easily bocomo King. Your Senate is w imnerfcctly constructed that your dearest rights may be sacrificed by what may bo a small majority ; and a very small minority may continue forever unchang ably this Government nlthough horribly do feetivo. Whore nro your check's in this Gov ernment? Your strongholds will bo in tho hands of your enemies. It is on tho supposi tion that your American Governor shall bo honest t'uit all the good qualities of this Gov ernment a rj founded, bit its perfect nod im perfect construct! m putu it in their power to pcrpotrato tho worst of niis-ihiefs should they bo bad men. AnJ, sir, would uot all the world blamo our distracted folly in lestingoui rights uon tlie contingency of our rulers being good or bad? Show mo that ago and country, where tho rights and liberties of the peoplo wero placed on tho chauco of their rulers be ing good men, without n consequent loss of liberty I I say that tho loas of that dearest privilege has ever followed, witli absoluto cer tiinty,overy such mad attempt. If your Amer ican Chief be a man of ambition and abilities how easy will it bo for him to render himself absoluto I The army is in his hands, mid if ho bo a man of address it will bo attached to him, and it will bo tho subject of long medita tion in him to Boire the first auspicious mo ment to accomplish his design, Aud, sir, will thej American spirit solely relievo you when this happens? T would rather havo a King, Lords and Commons, than a government si rcp'oto with such insupportable evils. If we mnkon K'nr, wo may proscribo tho rules by which ho shall rulo his jieopie ; but the Pre sident in tho field, at tho head of his army can prescribe tho terms on which ho shall reign muter, so fur that it will puzzh any American even to get his neck from under tho galling yol el" From the Editor of tho Elizabethtown, Pa. Chronicle, Stop That Cough or it will terminate In thnt dreaded disease consumi tlm. We are aware that a prtjudice exists with many persons against meiliciues which profess to cure a cough or cold when bordering on consumption, nr even when the lungs aro affected ; but wo can assure our readers thnt WUtar's Ilalsam of Wild Cherry will do all this ; and iu making this assertion we speak from experience, having suffered for months from a cough, which, after using many remedies without auy re lief, threatened to terminate seriously, We were, however, so fortunate as to secure sev eral bottles of WIstar'a Hatsam of Wild Cherry, and aro now entirely rid of the cough, and restored to our former health.
