The old fogies who made the Government under which wb live,' thought it worth while to make a written Constitution,-which instrument sot forth what power a Provident should exor cise, and forbid him from exercising any other. They also’ provided a ( moans of pun ishing any President'by impeachment who should go beyohd thb written instructions given. Our forefathers were' led to adopt those precathions through the lessons their ancestors had learned from hitter experience. They knew that it was necessary to hedge in Executive power hy restrictions, and protect I their liberties from the encroachments of ar bitrary power. Under monnrehiol govern i ments where there is no wfltlch'Constitution, the king'enctoachos on the rights of his-sub jects, and ’llls acts become a 'precedent for future acts of the same kind, compelling the people to frequent resort to tumultuous and revolutionary proceedings in order to regain their lost rights and hold royalty in cheek- All the bloody civil wars that have occurred in England illustrate this subject. But the wise Cramers of our Government would not trust their liberties on any such frail fouilla tion ; therefore, the powers of the President were written down on parchment, in order that there , might not be any mistake abopt ihcir meaning. ■ .This writing is the Consti tution, embodying the supreme will oh the . P 1 ic'ople ; and until it is changed in the exact way and manner provided within the instru ment,'every one who hdlSs office under it is bound to tho strict letter of the contract. It is no excuse that a part of" the people In the Republic have repudiated the contract,:nnd are trying to‘absolve themselves from it by revolution ; to admit thaV would bo. sliying that tho Government had gone into dissolu tion, and ceased to exist. On the contrary* tho Constitution is just as binding <en the people or the president and all other officers as it ever was. The fnct;tlmt the President or tho people want to violatuthe Constitution is tire very reason that they .elrduhS ’not doit,. It is only for such times that it was made at jail. When peace and quiet prevails there ia no danger *, it is in limes.of storm and trouble that writfen Constitutions are designed to.be of service by saving Presidents and people from the effects of their own folly aml.tnad- ncss. Any act of the President now in vio lation'of the Constitution under the plea of necessity, is just ns revolutionary Aud.cuipa •blc.as the gathering together of tho people, in armed rtfsiatawce to the laws made *ru con formity to the instrument.* Such an act of the President ik neither legal nor patriotic, but-a wicked usurpation. But the ‘ Aboli tionists advise’ Lincoln to go on setting at, defiance the supreme law ; trample it under foot, say they. You cannot go too far, in ad vance of it, 'and as far ns you go tho people should go.’ Do any of them assume royal, robes, usurp&U powers, tho people must up hold you. Is this tho language of States manship or of common'sonse, or,is it not father the revenge of a.mad-man ?

It appears that the Governor has boon distributing the anna of the -State armory to the Loyal Leagues, and whAn called to ac count; by the Legislature be excused himself by the plea that tlioro was no law against it, and that there wore indications that there whond'bo resistance to tho draff; 'to‘Which rfis replied that the only mob ever known in the State was one which destroyed a Demo cratic newspaper. Wo have heard it ru-j roored that in our own State, says tho Phila delphia Aye, similar preparations have boon made, and it is certainly in the nature of the Abolitionists to’organim in this way in se cret to commit violence and outrage. Their 1 underground railway, system was much of [ this order, os is openly avowed in the recent ly published lectures of Theodore Parker, and as was shown in a multitude of instances.— The Know-Nothing party was another illus tration of this same tendency, and the Leagues I are nothing but another form of the'‘dark lantern”. business. Should the suspicions of the community bo verified in reference to I them—although there would bo nothing ille gal in their arming themselves, if they du so at their own expense—the natural conse quence will bo that Democrats will be driven to perfect their own prganiintiotra'anddo-arm themselves in self-defence. An Imports:** Element. —The colored el ement seems to bo becoming an importani oho in Washington. The Washington and Georgetown street ’ railway com'pany, last week, etartei! ten regular two-horse cars to run from ftie Navy Yard to Georgetown for the pnrposfi 6f colored passengers exolu eively. .If the ten cars cro foijfad to 1)0 inadequate for tho travel, the company will put on addibionalaocommpdatione, The popi ulation of the National Capital is how said 1 Ito be about equally balanced between ne groes, office-seekers and holders, and Cyprians' af all styles and grades. .

There are twfl aspects in which the result of titih election. is important, both in .and put. o{ New York. To perceive them clearly does not require a knowledge of the myste ries of our city politics, proverbially incom prehensible to every non-resident of the Slate, and past finding nut by ninety-nine out of every hundred of its citizens. Into the ma zes of that subject we do not propose to loud any .reader. Yctofct of Vheih CothOs a lesson which Vulera and the ruled, electors and-of fice-holders, nmy and should learn.. The election of the Mayor of the great me tropplis pf the nation is a matter of even nu- ; tionnl interest. There are )mlf a dozen States in our Union whose Governors do not wield one-half so much political or moral power as the Mayor of New York wields. The wealth ,ol the city, its population, its inaniTdld'UiuCfß- Iries, its commercial preeminence,- put it out of comparison with several of these States. — If their xdectulffs -riVc of importance, to the nation, surely our election yesterday was. . New York has been the bulwark of Dem ocracy. Other cities -have been swept over tor the tide 'of political fanaticism which has all but ruined, the nation. New -York never has. The election yesterday leaves her in the same proud position, Outof 71,000 votes cast,£l,ooo were were-caal by Democrats for 'Democrats. - “And theUcpublioans of thccity, with all the munstrous patronage of the cus tom'house, the post office., and of the other agencies of the Federal OuvernnuMit at t’hcu* disposal, and .with ific prOstige of siicce?'? iti the recent State elections to hack them,, have been able topolfbut nineteen thousand votes. Ihis is a'result which-every Democrat-out <d the city and Slate may regard with sincere delight.. Nor-would this view of the election bo complete it we did not add that Mr. Gun ther, the Mayor-elect; is as.determinedly op posed to the* principles and the .policy-of the Adminisltation at Washington as nuy Dem ocrat in the whole North is. He Vh and al- ways has been a Democrat,'and- to tho ex tent of his personal influence and. with all the ; legitimate /influence, of his official posi tion; will.oppose consistently and ly the redieid fanaticism which 'has, dflwfr the country -tain war; the Abolitionism which perverts -its objects ; the corruption, the irK becilUy and .the .pVrtisuibdjm which .prolong tho war. . THE-PvESTonATinN or the Southern States, —The New York Herald remarks that.thcr.e is going-to ho a* great’deal of trouble about the restoration of tho Southern States to the Union after t!»e fighting is over. This may bo, if the radical .and revolutionary, design* of-tho Abolitionists to degrade those States into territories, and assumed'govern them as such, prevail. But there need ho.no trou ble whatever, if our - rulers. (fmiply observe thtir oaths-,sand adhere to the Constitution. The New York Tribune gives out, with a semi-official air, that President Lincoln i.s preparing a plan to meet the alleged ddhcui ties of this • wVuyK he will-innko known in hie’ forthcoming message.. Wo hope it may bo practicable and 'constitution al—indeed,if it fulfil the Hvt named requi site, it will, by logical fmqhpHCO, include the former. All the difficulties the Herald fore shadows’, proceed from the fallacious uhddi*- • strnctivc idea of Stale suicide. 'No State can commit treason or destroy-itself. Sts people may, by nets of rebellion and treason, forfeit . their citizenship, and subject themselves, to the punishment of 't'HU aa wv.U as natural death. Blit, the States themselves arc, in spite of acts of a portion of their citizens, as much part and parcel of the Union to-day as they-iever. were.. To allow any other the ory,.would- bo to recognize the right of se cession ns a fact accomplished, imd to convert a war lawfully waged to assert tlio authority of the Federal Government, into a war against iforcign pdwerafur their couquest and subjugation. In connection jyitli this tfl, be comes a matter of Interest .to learn- -as we op reliable authority—that an election was' regularly held in Louisiana on the first Mon day in as the Slate, laws direct, and that Mr. J. L. Riddell, ot New Orleans,' was elected Governor of the State, and Messrs. A. P. Field, of NcwKDrlcamj, Joshua Raker, of St, Mary's parish, and Tlmmas Cuttman, of Ascension, wore elected Representatives to Congress. . The Chase and Stanton faction in New Orleans tried to ‘pteK’fcnt tfhrs elec tion, in order to keep Louisiana out of the Union until slavery shall he- abolished ; and ■we understand that military inforfcronco was used to defeat the election, but unsuccessful ly. If these gentlemen apply for admission to seats in Congress, a decision as. to the re lation the States that cVaim to have acceded bear Federal Government, will mvo to be made by the IVhat that decision may be, wo iano at;a loss .0 conjecture. -But, if the claimants can es tablish the fact that they were elected by a vrtte fairly taken according to the Constitu tion and. laws of the United States and of thpir own State, and stand ready to take the prescribed oath, we know of no power that the President dr 'Congress possesses, to pre vent them from taking their seats. A Cabinet Picture.— Wendell Phillips made a epeeoh in Tremont 'temple, Boston, in which ho gave his views of some head ing men. Ho thought the nation had been paying for Old Abo’s education .at the expense of $25,000 a year. Yet he thought ‘fire man " who issued the Emancipation Proclamation ought to remain in power six years longer." ‘Secretary -Chase; according to Mr._PhiUips, “is a man of; ho principle, and his name has no . claim .‘far confidence from the-Americon people iri thiu crisis.”— As for the Secretary of.

For instance, in the family of Mr. John Weak’land, at Holliday’s saw mill, out of eight, seven have taken the, disease and died. Another family of six has lost five of its members, and there i s scarcely a family in the neighborhood which does not mount ■the lossiofione or more. In the grave yard, li short distance from Holiday’s mill, over two hundred graves may be soon, nil made within: a month.' Advance in Domestic Goons.—lTbe com mercial journals of Now York say that job bers have bought up a very large ,aggregate of domestic goods, both cotton ,'Ktld .woolen. The probability indicated is an advance in all kinds of goods. Secretory Chase will provide against this, however, hyptft’ting up mure steam presses for the manufacture of green J bac,l : .‘n thus heading off the jobbers by making money plentier. The Verdict of il-ist-cmv.—By Barton's Life ot General just published, it up per re that General McClellan is entitled to all the credit for laying down the plan of op erations in the Southwest, the military genius and foresight of this able but greatly wrpnged officer, lire lin’d jumjnnia oly exhibited in the orders under which Gen. Butler went to Hew Orleans. #@*A loading Republican member of Con gress was asked the.other day how long the war would continue, when be replied, “until every slave is freed, if it takes thirty yearn.” Such scoundrels should bo put in the army, in the front ranks. i ' , . ■ , Hidden Treasure. —An old lady name'd Mrs. Miller, nged between eighty and ninety years, died in Pottsgrovo township, Mont gomery county, in whoso bed was found, care fully sewed' up, one hundred dollars in gold, and a considerable, quantity of silver. The tael Onlrogf!. At this time of day it sqems hardly worth wiiiiri to sny'n Word as : to arbitrary arrests or lawless exile. Since the first- -groat enor mity—which by-nrid-hy will weigh down any man or set.of men who perpetrated it—the arrest of the Maryland Legislature, in HSOJ, there has been Wprogress of.deapotism pnd submission, which proves the popular spirit to bo fatally benumbed. A case has occur red iMcly'llihfllWfefvia*. record, arid which, in some of its features, is without a parallel, ?}t is that of Governor Pratt and Mr. Nichnl son, of Maryland. The fact? are these. M d desire to state tliem with precision, nnd if We nccfdantnlly misstnte-lliern, sha’.l' be glnd' fomake the requisite correction. ’Mr. Pratt wont to vote at the recent election, nnd, on presenting his ticket, was.t-dd by the, elec tion officer that it could not .be'received tin* lass ho took the Schenck oath of allegiance. On his replying,that Governor Bradford had issued a proclamation forbidding such a teat, the reply was that there were orders to dis regard any such notion by the Governor, and to exact an oath from every voter who was objected to. Mr. Pratt, seeing no challenger at hand, asked who objected to bis vote, and was showp a list or book with certain names —his own among others—marked ns object ionable.' He then refused to take theoatli, arid declined voting, ns did Mr. Nicholson. The next day, or the day after, they were both arrested by Solienok’s order, arid taken or paroled logo to Baltimore. On appearing there. General Sohenok iriforrriod them th'eir offence was refusing to take his oath, and that if they did not take, it he fwould acrid them acroa? the lines. To tins the natural reply vrns, that, by refusal, they bad lost ■ their votes, which was penalty enough; but as they were men advanced in life, with large and dependent families, to-whom exile would ■ be ruin,'they asked General Solienck to per mit tliem'to give a parole for future conduct, and to remain at home. He directed them to return the neit day, which they did, and found Sulieiiok absent, and in his place-ft de tain Don Piatt,' who presented them With some sort of an’engagement, retrospective as well.as prospective, which thßir ‘Self-respect forbade them to sign. luVcrply to their ear nest and '-respectful, remonstrances and re quests,for delay,' they were. met by a. etofni of abuse. ’ Among other things, Piatt said, in .laiigtta'fte 'We shall not repfeat, that as to Govarndt' Bradford, he dared' not.interfere,, and would not be regarded if he did; Gov erhor Pratt asked for an opportunity to rep-', resea tliis case to Mr. Uncolif, or, as a. Mary lander, toMr. Blair. Tliis was refused.— The only delay nllowed'.fand this, of course, a mockery.) was till Secretary Stanton's re td rp from the West; and oh his' return, Gov ernor Prnttnnd Mr.' Nmlioladn were taken into’ custody, and ‘sent, through the agency of. Butler, across the lines— imprisoned and exiled jof re fusing, to take an illegal oath / Are we not justified; then, in saying, that a more-hideous ohtiage never was committed in a‘ civilized land ■' i ■ Jehu Jones, father ofthe.Hon, J.
