Thad Stevens, in winding up a speech iu the House, recently, said: “I dcnv that this government hns over been ft ttemibbc. I deny that the Slate of Pennsylvania has ever been n Republic, and I wish thin Congress would take it in hami n»U make it a livpuolie.’ Until now (he people of Pennsylvania have been under the impression that they lived in a Republic—in a State where they exercised the powers of sovereignty. Butthcoldreprobate, Ste vens, toils us that this was a mistaken opinion—that Pennsylvania is not and never was a Republic; and he expresses , the desire that Congress shall take our old State “ in hand and make it a Re public.” As Stevens appears to he the leader of the'Rump Congress, whose word thus far lias been omnipotent, his suggestion may possibly be heeded, and Pennsyl vania may be “reconstructed” by the Bump Congress before our people know what they are about. Negro-suffrage is what Stevens wants, and until this is granted our State is not a Republic, in his sage opinion. ‘What a mistaken set of men our Pennsylvanians have been. They supposed they lived under a Re publican form of Government, and they might have continued to entertain this belief had not the imported Now England Yankee, Stevens, enlightened them. In 1838, this same Stevens ad vised his partizans of this State to “ throw conscience to the devil,” and to treat the election of that year “as though it had not taken place.” Tins was his idea of “ reconstruction” then, but he was foiled in his purposes and was glad to'save his neck by jumping through a back window of the Senate chamber. But lie has nothing to fear now, and he can insult the people of Pennsylvania with impunity, and he glories in doing so. His fanatical and treasonable ideas are now applauded by a reekless party, and some of the men who were for hanging him in 1838, now defend him in iris libels upon our State and her people. Who but Stevens would dare speak of Pennsyl vania in the derisive manner ho does ? No native Pennsylvanian could thus re fer to her, without receiving a rebuke that would forever silence him. But old Thad, being the recognized leader of his degraded party, is permitted to visit his assaults upon the State without fear of consequences, and without re spect to the natural feelings of a once proud people. But Pennsylvania has Jittle pride of character now. Many of her Representatives in Congress are im ported Yankees, one of them a jail-bird, and it is not to be expected that these men can have mud) respect for our State or sympathy with the opinions of her people. They cun threaten to take Pennsylvania “ in hand and make it a Republic,” for they are Forney’s “pro gressive and earnest men,” whose “grand moral ideas” are tolerated by the poor dupe, who prefer party to prin ciple or honor. HOW IT WAS !)OXL. Simon said “ wiggle—waggle—thumbs up," and Simon was elected to the Sen ate from Pennsylvania. Simon had such a winning way about him that the Radical solpns had to “come to time,” The nomination of “ old Kickapoo” re minds us of the story of the Irish wo man, who had a drunken husband, who refused to come homo to see his “ dar lint Biddy and the ehilder.” Biddy procured a bottle of the" oh! be joyful,” and went on the hunt of her husband, andfoundhimatthe “drinking saloon," pretty well “ seas over," Said the dar ling wife, “can’t you come home Pad dy, for the iove of your Bridget ?” “ No, I wont,” said the husband. “Well, then, won’t you come home for the love of the childer/” “No, I won’t,” was the reply—“ Well Paddy, said his wife then, (producing ‘ black botty’ from un der her apron; and holding its spark ling contents up to Paddy's gaze) “ Won’t you come home for the love of this?” “ Yes, Biddy darliut, I with— You has sich ‘winnin ways’ wid ye" Slid the obedient Paddy, and forthwith the twain wont home. Yes, it was Si mon’s gold which had such “ winning Ways” about it, at the sight of which the legislative Paddies threw (them selves into the arms of the “old Win nebago”-“and whispering we will ue er consent—consented." Af Tn w W t I J' VI ' VI T “ ’ rHE I’liOPl.U, Mr. Woncell Phillip*’ i lVil lnunifteto ■ demands the destruction of the United Stales Supreme Court, H„ suglfMts no mere reconstruction, and proposes no substitute for it, that we cun discover Pretending that “ the instincts of tlie masses and (lie consciences of just men ” were outraged, lie says that the Constitution, with its time-honored compromises, held up by the strongest of parties, was dust in the balance against such a current. This court will prove the same ' H ore we confession thattlnsparly hasovorthrown the Constitution when it « u ,„v i„ tZh way, and because the court will not help to do this work, it also is to be sac rificed. Surely there is no want of can dor here, and the issue for the people of the Worth is very plainly made up.— They are forewarned, and if the edifice of their liberties Js destroyed it will be their own fault. THE NEGRO MINSTRELS, Who meet .daily in the Senate Cham ber nnd House of Representatives, at 'Washington, and call themselves “ Con gress,” arc sinking intocontemptdnily, nnd Justly so. The obscene speeches timt are constantly delivered, the un constitutional nnd dovilidi propositions that arc made, nnd tlie uncouth conduct of tlie majority of the-mombers, stamp them as men who have no regard for their own characters or respect for the constituents they represent. They ap pear infatuated with the negro, and the greater the love shown for tho “ Amer ican citizen of African scent,” the higher stands tho man in the Radical syna gogue. Tho “poor colored citizen,” is their theme by day nnd their dreams by night, nnd the appropriations to the Freedman's Bureau would carry on the Government in nil its workings, if ad ministered as formerly under Demo cratic rule. The people, however, including many Republicans, are becoming tired of this fanaticism, humbuggery and extrava gance, and almost daily we notice Re publican journals complaining and grumbling. The New York Tribune— Greeley’ editor —calls the majority of the present Congress “negro minstrels,” and advises them to black their faces and charge for their performances.— Even Greeley is disgusted with the fan tastic capers of the Bump Congress, and insists that there is too much time oc cupied in talking about the negro, and that members of Congress should pay some attention to the wishes of white men and the great interests of the coun try. Greeley fears that the men who control the present Congress are fast sinking into contempt, and that they “ arc dragging the Republican party to the executioner’s block.” Old white coat is right. If people who have minds to think are not disgusted with tlio do ings of theunlawful Rump Congress, we know not what will be required to dis gust them. Clever in tire history of the world was a more corrupt, fanatical, treasonable body of men assembled to gether. The President would be doing nothing but what Iris sworn duty re quires, if he turned these disturbers of the peace out of doors neck and heels/ and locked up the two Houses. It will, wo believe, come to this at last, for it is not possible that the people will much longer submit to the usurpations of the traitors who compose tho majority of the present Bump. Resolution Inlro«lucc»l In tho House of Representative**, Xteccmbdr 4,1802, l»y TtmtUlcus Stovcns. "Resolved, Thai if any person in the employment of the United States, in either the legislative or the Jxccc ulivc brunch, should propose to make peace, or should accept or advise the acceptance of any such proposition, ON ANY OTHER BASIS THAN TUB INTEGRITY AND ENTIRE UNITY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THEIR TERRITORIES AS THEY EXISTED AT THE TIME OF THE REBELLION, HE SHALL BE GUILTY OF A HIGH CRIME.’ 1 The above resolution was offered in the House by Thad Stevens, and adopt ed, December 4, 1802. "We insist upon it then, that Stevens has violated his own resolution, aud is therefore guilty of a “ high crime.” He is now opposing, with all his might, the unity of the United States as they existed at the time of tho rebellion, and insists that ■ten States are out of the Union and therefore not entitled to representation iu Congress. He is guilty of a “ high crime,” we repeat, and should be arres ted at once, and punished as his “ high crime” deserves. “ There are (hose who admit the Justice and ul timate utility of granting Jmpar'laisiUlroge toivll men, but they think it is Impolitic. I would nay to those above referred to, who admit the Justice nf human equality before the law, but doubt its policy, do you believe inhclU" — Thad. Stevens. Such were tlie words used by the old infidel, Thad Stevens, in a speoch-in the House, recently. How like a “great commoner” his language sounds. He was hectoring certain members of his own party because they hesitated to en dorse all he requiredof them. He applied tlie lash vigorously, and after denounc ing them ns “timid cravens,” wound up with the words we quote above. Is it uot wonderful that one of Stevens’ character—a man who disregards all laws and commandments, human and di vide —should bo the recognized leader of his party in the House, whose heck and nod are regarded with respect by men who are his superiors in every point of view? It is a bad indication, for those who follow sinful men must eventually fail into sin themselves. Tjik Dri’FBBBNCB.—TIie Boston Post very pertinently inquires, which is the most indulgent—to sentence a negro to two years hard labor on a Jam, or a white man to two years hard labor in a Male D risen f This is just tlie differ ence between the treatment of black aud white criminals iu Maryland which' the assumed friends of the negroes cry out against. It is tho white man who should complain. But so it goes. Sam bo is everything now-a-days, and tho poor white man is nothing with the Radicals, except so far as they can use him to keep them in power. EST - Every Radical whipper-in is snarling and snapping because the De mocracy of the Bump House had the pluck (as they had the right} to keep the Radical gaggors of free speech in session ail night on the 22d. The Rads had a bill up to control the Supreme Court—a bill of a most revolutionary and unjustifiable kind—and refused to allow the Democracy to speak in oppo sition to it. The “ unwashed” thereup on compelled the calling of the yeas and nays thirty-seven times, and thus kept the gaggers in the hall till eight o’clock next day. Right. Do it again. ffjyOne of the two or three dozen culprits pardoned by Governor Curtin during the last week of his administra tion, was a Republican politician named Straw, who was serving a seven years term ia the penitentiary, having been convicted of forgery. Two days after his release from prison he attempted to commit a similar crime on a-bank at Harrisburg. He was again arrested, and is now in jail at Harrisburg, and this time ho will have to apply to the “ ignoramus” Geary, for a pardon. £&y" The Cleveland Herald , an aboli tion journal in the pay of Congress, says that “so far as the defeat of Tliad. Ste vens is concerned the mass of the people will feel rejoiced.” But this is the way of the world—kick a man when ho is fulling; fawn and flatter him when he is rising, and cheat him if you can, or yon are not a good Puritan. HSflnthe Ohio Legislature au amend ment to the State Constitution has been introduced, which extends the right of suffrage to women and removes restric tions on color. THE STATE IN THE HANDS OF KNAVES. We take -the following article from the Erie Dispatch, one of the ablest and most prosperous Republican papers in our State, and the organ of the Repub licans of Eric county. Let our readers of both parties peruse carefully itsstrict -1 ures on Geary, Cameron, and the rest of tho unwashed and nnrogenerated sin ners of tho Radical faction who now, unfortunately’ for our people, have con trol of the State. No one can say that the allegations wo quote bolo w are “ perhead liesfor they are the words of one of tho ablest Republican editors in Northwestern Pennsylvania, and what is more, they are true to the letter. — The State " is emphatically in the hands of tho moat despicable and degraded class of knaves Hint over disgraced a Commonwealth.” Nino out of every ten Republican papers in Pennsylvania have, within the last two months, spo ken of Simon Cameron as a professional swindler, “ who never occapied'an offi cial position that was not bought with money,” and yet, with all these admis sions and allegations staring him In the face, Simon is endorsed by the Legisla ture of Pennsylvania and crowned with its highest honor! Geary, it is well known, assisted Cameron in his corrupt schemes—it was a money-making busi ness all round—and hence it is that we see so many Republican journals dis charging their arrows at the hero of SnickersviUe. We say again then to men of all par ties, read the words of tiro editor of tho Erie Dispatch, and [in doing so remem ber that this same Republican editor only last summer and fall eulogized this “ignoramus” and “miserable apology for a man” Geary, to the skies, and urged tho people" to vote for him for Governor! What confidence can Re publicans place in their party organs? It was well known last summer by the old foxes of the Republican party that the election of Geary was Cameron’s triumph. But now that, both Geary and Cameron are snugly fixed in the po sitions they sought, these same Repub lican editors turn up tho dirty whites of their eyes, and inform their readers that the man they elected Governor last fall is “an ignoramus and loafer,” and the man they elected to the Senate is “a corruptionist and knave.” What con fessions are these? And yet they are true ns Hoiy .Writ. And it was for the accomplishment of these objects that that great and god man, Booster Cly mer, was slandered, maligned, and de feated by as corrupt a set of scoundrels as ever went unhung. But to the arti cle from the Despatch ; (From tho Erlo Dispatch) Geiiry—Cameron—Fools—Knaves. The State is emphatically in the hands of the moat despicable and degraded class of knaves that ever disgraced a Common wealth, and tbotimeis not fardistant when tho names of Cameron and Geary will sound so much like Raphael Semmes that no one w(U he able to justly classify them in a different catalogue. Wo do not know but that we are giving too much prominence to Geary, as ho is such an Ignoramus, and such a mlsreable apology for a man, such a complete loafer, who is allowed to spongeasubsistenco from his more prosperous neighbors, that he alone is not able to gain distinction as n knave, or even as a loafer. The promise Which he has already made and violated, tho influence which he consented to have , used to eflect his election, and the man ner in which he is dovetailed with men in tho State who are known to be knaves, ought to be sufficient to keep him from be ing inaugurated as Governor of the State. But they will not. He will be placed in tho office of Chief Executive with a howl of triumph, amidst a tournament of sin and corruption. Our uninitiated readers may wonder why we have not before given our opin ions upon this subject, if jthey were held from the beginning. We have intimated them before, and have warned the people of the State in general, the Republican party in particular, that they were egregi ously sold on John W. Geary ; but we hoped that the management which had him iu charge would be sufficiently pru dent to cover up a portion of their naked ness, and manifest by subsequent events that it was their desire to foster the prin ciples as well as tho Interests of the party. But they have done nothing of the kind. They seem to sacrifice every principle to policy, and bury not only the honor and power of the party but all its adherents iu a grave of dishonor and oblivion. The power of the Republican party in Pennsylvania is for the present used up. The imbecility andjineffioiency of our next Governor, as a man within himself, will disgust every member in both parties, and tlie great public of the Commonwealth will not dare trust the party with the se lection of another man to rale over them. The term of John W., Geary will be the era from which will date thedecay of the Republican party in Pennsylvania, and which will furnish examples of folly to be guarded against in the future. It will constitute a severe, and, we hope,, a bene ficial lesson to the party, which will teach it that honesty and consistency must not be sacrified to the pollicy of the time be ing. Or, In otiier words, that availability will avail nothing when itdoos not bring with it an amount of brain and legitimate power sufficient to control at all times an honest majority in the party. The peo ple are already disgusted.with Geary.— Their expressions are loud and unmista kable, and though they may be smother ed for a time, it will bo but a little while before they flame out all over the State in all their truth and power. We are not disposed to award him so much honor as to,give him tho benefit of having created this disatisfaction himself. On the contrary, we know he has not the ability to doit. It has beenbroughtabout hy the knaves and demagogues who have had the management of him. Tho party has allowed these men to deceive and swindle it, to barter it off for a mess of pottage which has not the merit of being either palatable or d/gestable, and it at once gives the Democracy the advantage of the sympathy of the dissatisfied, and an opportunity of regaining power by offering men whom tho peopfoure willing to accept on account of real merit. The conclusion is, that the Republican party in Pennsylvania must either be washed and regenerated—or conclude to hereafter suffer defeats. is currently reported that dur ing the contest for Senator at Harris burg, Gen. Geary sent a friend to our neighbor, Col. M’Clure. to notify him that unless he ceased talking about him he would whip him before the inaugur ation, to which the Colonel replied that if lie (Geary) attempted that there would be no inauguration. The Colonel might have added that if Genry succeed ed in whipping him he would be the first man he ever whipped.— Val. Spirit. Presidential Appointments.— On Tuesday last the Senate confirmed twen ty-six Presidential appointments, and rejected twenty-one. Among the latter are Wm. F. Johnston, collector of Phil adelphia, and J. B. Flanigan, Naval Officer,and John P. Kilgore, Appraiser. Koontz, a member of Congress from this State, has made a report adverse to the petition, of citizens of foreign birth of the District of Columbia, praying for the same rights as granted to negroes. Massachusetts has three negroes hi her Legislature and three thirty-four in the State Prison. ‘ . WAS NEGBO SUFFRAGE THE ISSBB r On Tuesday last, M. S. Quay, Radical Representative from Beaver county, in troduced Into tho lower House of the State Legislature, a hill “ to provide for holding a State Convention to revise and amend the Constitution by striking the word 1 white' out of U!” Now bo it re membered that Milton S. Quay is one of the leaders of the Republican party, and was the Curtin candidate tor the Speakership of tho House of Represen tatives. tVhat have the Republican pa pers to say now of their solemn asser tion that negro suffrage was not an is su'o before tho people of Pennsylvania at the last election ? What -have their orators to say, from Jack Hamilton even down to Geary, who told the people that the Constitution could not be amended for four years ? Was negro suffrage not a,n issue when Quay was elected? Was dt not an issue when his Radical col leagues, who will pass the bill, were elected? Was it not an issue when Geary, who will sign the bill, was elec ted ? Lot the poof dupes of radical ras cal! ty answer these questions; and when they have been bound hand and foot, and And negroes placed on a political and social equality with them, let them mourn the evil hour, in which they trusted to the lying pledges, of Radical politicians. If Mr. Quay pushes his measure through the House, gets Ms Convention together, and has a new Con stitution formed by midsummer with’ the word “ white” omitted, they will be attempting to vote negroes at every poll in tho State at the next election; and of course the poor dupes will con tinue to believe the Radical leaders when they tell them that “ negro suff rage is not an issue.” [From the Pittsburgh Post, January 17.1 Letter from CJilff Justice Goo.

Eetteuman. Philadelphia, January 14, 1867. Gentlemen: In answer to your very kind note of the 7th instant, I am obliged to say, as I have said in answer to numer ous inquies of the same sort, that my pur pose has long been unalterably fixed to re tire from.tho bench at theclose of my con stitutional term, in December next. Ido therefore most respectfully,butdeftnltlely, decline a renorainatlon, and X wish to be so understood by all the deputies to the nominating convention. I have been deeply impressed by the generality of the desire that I should re main upon the bench. For a year past X have been in receipt of such communica tions on the subject, from every part of the State, and from all classes of citizens, as to leave no doubt, or room for doubt, that tho Democratic people universally wish for my re-election, and that many Republican lawyers would cheerfully con sent to it. I allude to this fact, not merely to ex press my gratitude for the public confi dence which it implies, but also to say that it has put me upon a' serious review of the grounds of my declination. Not meaning to state all the reasons that have led me to my resolution, it is due to gentle men who address me as you have done, that I should remind you that thirty years ago I maintained, in the Reform Conven tion, that fifteen years were in general a sufficiently Jong tenure for Judges of the Supreme Court—that fifteen years ago, when I took the office, I declared against a renewal of the term—tlicfc this dclarution has been repeated as often as X have had occasion to speak upon the subject, and that two years since I removed my resi dence from this city to Wilkeabarre, in anticipation of tho expiration of my term— a change of residence which would not have been made if any thought of re-elec tion had been entertained. Having advocated the substitution of the limited for the fife tenure, I was un willing to take any personal advantage from it, and therefore peremtorily deolin* ed a nomination in 1851, which would have displaced one of these incumbents, and the vacancy which I came on the beueli to fill in 1852, was occasioned, not by tho constitutional limitation, but by the death of Judge Coulter. But now, being the first Judge who has completed the term of fifteen years under tho amend ed Constitution, it seems to me to be my duty, hi accordance with thoaentimentof 1837, to retire to give .place to a fresh re cruit. I know is is common to say, that as the office is a difficult and responsible one, a man with fifteen years or experience iu it is better qualified to execute it, than a man taken from tho Common Pleas, or from the ranks of the profession. But an observation of many years has led me to . think that the public loses moreby the in firmities of advancing age, and the per functionary routine into which judges fall than is gained by Jong experience. Men are not ordinarily placed upon this bench until they have attained ma ture life and have had considcrablo expe rience in the profession of law. A mere novic would, Indeed, be greatly out of place in a court of so large and diversified jurisdiction. But when a man, past mid dle life, lias served fifteen years, it seems tome ho ought to hesitate about assuming *bo onerous duties for fifteen years more.— The question of the.renewal of the lease ought to be considered not so much in re spect to present qualifications, as to con tinued competency. If his facilities fail not, the tendency of long continuance in office is to careless habits of study and business. If there is auy yirtue in the limited ten ure, lam under peculiar obligations to give the people the benefit of it, and whatever others may do, it is especially my duty to guard against the evils which it was intended to remedy. My declina tion therefore is final. Renewing my thanks for your too kind estimate of my public services, I am, gentleman, with great regard, your obe dient servant, Geo. W. Woodward, To James H. Hopkins, George P. Hamil ton, John H. Bailey, R. P. Flenkiu, H. Burgwin, Esqrs., and others. Bovs Out at Night.—The pratice of allowing boys to spend their evenings in the street is one of the most ruinous, dan gerous and mischievous things possible. Nothing so speedily and surely marks their coarse downward. They acquire, un der the cover of night, an unhealthy state of mind, vulgar and profane language, ob scene practices, criminal sentiments, and* a lawless and riotous bearing. Indeed, it is in the streets after nightfall, that the boys generally acquire the education and the capacity for becoming rowdy, disso lute, criminal men. Parents, do you be .lleve it? ‘Will you keep your children at, Jbome at nights, and see that their home Is made pleasant and profitable ? THE SFPBE3IE COl/'BT. Spee«li of Hon. J«romlnh S, Blnotc. Tho following able speech was delivered on the evening of the Bth instant, at tho National Hotel, Washington, at the ban quet given in honor of tho fifty-second anniversary of tho battle of Now Orleans. The speech was made in response to a toast complimenting tho UultedStatosSupremo Court: Mb. Chairman : In the history of this country it has never before been thought i necessary either to toast tho Supremo Court or defend it. But times have chang ed. Very rccentlyattacksfullofbittorina llgnity nave been made on that tribunal, and measures aro deliberately taken to break down its authority. Considering by whom these assaults are made, and what tho object of them Is, it would, perhaps, bo better to encourage them, since it is certain that In the long run they can do no harm to anybody but tbolr authors. If you have a viper to deal with, or a nest of vipers, it is bettor to keep them biting at a file than anything else they can lay their teeth to. Still, it may not be Inappropri ate to look for a moment at tho occasion of tho present persecution. Three private citizens of Indiana,, per fectly Innocent of any offense—l say per fectly innocent , because, up to this time no human being has ever legally sworn oven to a belie/ of their guilt—these citizens were arrested, kidnapped, and carried be fore a body of men wholly without power to meddle with them—notauthorised even to swear a witness for them or against them—and there, aftoraproceeding which It would bo mockery to call a trial, they were ordered to be killed on a certain fix ed day. In this condition of things tho judicial authorities intervened, amh with the aid of President Johnson, the victims were rescued. When the cause came into tho Supreme Court the simple question was. whether a citizen could bo lawfully deprived of bis life without a fair, honest trial, before an impartial jury ana a regular court. To this there could be but one answer, and that answer was given unanimously, ail tho judges yielding their full and unreserved assent to it. They held, in effect, that the pretended trial was a conspiracy, and that the execution, If it had taken place, would have been a mere lawless murder. What else could they do? To hang men with out judge or jury Is an act so clearly for bidden by tho fundamental law that no one can make any mistake about it, if bo has sense enough to know his right hand from his left. The prohibition Is writren down as plain as any one of the ten com mandments; there is not a sentence in the Lord's Prayer more simple; not a moral precept can be found in the child's primer-that is more easily understood. — Vet the court is vilipended, and abused, and slandered for saying it. The organs of disunion, and anarchy publicly pro claimed the* r determination to disregard the decision, not because it is erroneous, but because it confines their power by limits inconveniently narrow. They de clare that they will do, in defiance of it, whatever gratifies their own passions or promotes their own Interests; and they impudently use this very expression : 4 * If the law stands in our way x so much worse /or the law.” Mr. Thaddeua Stevens, the leader and driver of the present Congress, denounces this decision on the floor of the House. To my certain knowledge he knows it to be perfectly right. The senseless twaddle about hanging American citizens by the law of nations, on criminal accusations of their own government, could hot for a single instant impose on an understand ing like his. But he slanders the judges for deciding what ho knows and what they know to he true, for no conceivable reason except his desire that his particu lar friends may continue to enjoy the de lightful luxury ,of shedding innocent blood. ” The judges, and all who think with them, are called traitors because they de clare the Constitution to mean what it says, and because they will not violate it themselves or permit its violation by oth ers when they can prevent It. If this con flict for and against tho Constitution Im plies treason on either side, the guilt does not Ho at our door. It is not the man who sustains and loves and believes in the laws of his country that can be justly called a traitor. But if there bean American citi zen who, with an oath upon his consci ence to support the Constitution, would moke war upon it, subvert U by brutd force, and take away the defenses it af fords to life, liberty, and property, leaving them to the mercy of mobs, murders, kid nappers, military commislons, and bu reaus of military justice, such a man’ is thoroughly a traitor: “ Ayo, from Iho extreme upwards of his head ToThe descent and dost beneath his feet, A most toad-spotted traitor.” These arrows which they cast against us, barbed and poisoned with tho accusa tion of treason, rebound from our im penetrable armor, and fall harmless at our feet; for we are shielded and helmed, and weapon with the truth; but if we choose to take them up and send them back at our adversaries, we. qtould leave them quivering iu their very hearts, A great truth, on which the safety of society and the security of individual rights must depend, is in its nature inde structible. You may crush it torday,’ but it will reappear and vindicate itself to morrow. On the other hand, nothing is so evahescent’or so fickle as the passions that spring from the interests and the prejuaics of the hour. Let the lesson of history be heeded. Titus, Oates, Bedloe, and Dangerfieid enjoyed a far greater measure of popular confidence than ever was bestowed on Mr. Holt, Mr. Conver, Mr. Campbell, alias Hoare, or upon all tho officers, agents, spies, delators, and witnesses of the Miltary Bureau put to gether. They—l mean Oates and compa ny—were loudly applauded in Parllment; they were the prime favorites of the British people, and they were tho very dariingsol’aU the clerical politicians. They held tho life and honor of the nation in their hands. If they but pointed a finger at any individual he was doomed, and no purity of previous character, no proof of Innocence, however clear, could save him from destruction. Such was their over flowing prosperity one year; but before the next cam© round those wretched mis creants were bowling at the cart’s tall, under the lash of the public executioner, and the whole population of London was clapping its hands with joy. Let the man who puts his trust; in a false popu larity beware of the rebound which Issuro to come, sooner or later. It is written down among the unchaugeable.decrees of Almighty God that no lie shall live for ever ; and especially la this true of a great, raonstrousj bloody lie, like that which the Supremo Court has put its broad foot upon. X have spoken of tljQcourfcaaacollective body. All the judges concurred in the de cision of the question before them. On a merely speculative point which lay out side of the record there was a dissent. The minority was wrong, of course, as all mi norities are... Each judge, however, met his duty to the case itself, and all aro there fore entitled to the reverence and respect which is duo to the highest talent, coupled with the purestiutegrity, Butoneamong them is primus inter pares, not because he la better or greater than the others, but be cause he is more fortunate.

The irresistible logic which goes through and through all ad verse argument, and the felicity of Illus tration which makes the whole subject blaze with fight, are his own. That great production will be a guide and a landmark lor all future time; it identifies its author lorevev with tho sacred cause of constitu tional liberty, and makes his “ Ono of tho few, tho immortal names, That wore not born to die.". It gives him a position to which no earthly station,can add auy dignity, for a man of j ust ambition would always rather be a public benefactor than to hold high office. Mr. Chairman, when you recollect, that the court has saved us from nothing less ■than tho total overthrow of oujr free gov ernment, and when you observe the roar- Ing and loamingof the calumny which as sails it, I think you will agree with mo that it is the duty of every Christian man In America to put up a morning and eve .nine Player for the long life of all the judges, and the perpetual preservation of their judicial authority.

Correspondence AmeHcon Volunteer. Washington, January 28, 1807. Tuesday afternoon and night witnessed tho most oxciting acono of tho present session. Ear ly in tho afternoon Boutwoll reported a bill Irom tho Judiciary Committee, tho object of which is to annul tho decision of tho Supremo Court In tho test oath case, and to proscribe rules for tho Supreme Court, and other Courts of tho United States, as to who shall bo admitted to practice ns an attorney before thorn. In' reporting tho bill Boutwoll took occasion to remark that if the Court had notsufflclent self respect to adopt rules excluding traitors, It was high time for tho Leg islature to step in and adopt rales for them. This monstrous proposition at onco brought several of tho leading Democrats to thoir foot, and they asked for Just one hour to discuss tho bill. But no, tho Insolence of Radicalism would listen to no such proposition—tho bill must bo passed and passed at once, without a single hour’s discus sion. Tho minority at onco determined to assort thoir rights, and commenced a series of dilatory motions to stave oft action an tho bill. Night came and drew apace—tho hour of midnight sounded—but still that glorious stout-hearted little minority stood firm. One o’clock, two o'clock came and wont—tho morning dawned, and every conservative member stood at his post. They folt that tho freedom of debate, tho last citadel of liberty, was attacked, and It was their duty to dofend It to tho last. There was too much tyranny In this last move of tho*Radicals for American hearts to submit too. The Democratic members did well to make this stand for tho right of dobato, and it is to bo hoped they will resort to similar tactics whenever tho domineering majority attempt to trample on them again. And tho right of debate was not the only question Involved; this bill struck at the very Independence of tbo Judiciary, ft was not merely the question whether attorneys who participated In tho rebellion should be admitted tq practice before the Supremo Court—but wheth er the solemn decision of that Court could he set aside by a resolution of Congress. It has hereto fore been one of the settled principles of this Government that tho Supreme Court may set aside an act of Congress; but never before bos the monstrous doctrine been broached that Con gress can set aside and annul a decision of the Supremo Court. If Congress is to bo the final Judge of the constitutionality of its own acts, then tho Constitution may as well bo burned. A more barefaced attempt at usurpation was never seen; a more fatal blow to constitutional govern ment was never dealt, Yet what may wo not ex pect when Mr. Wilson reports a bill which de clares valid and conclusive certain proclamations and consequent acts which tho Supreme Court can only declare valid? and when Mr. Boutwoll docs not hesitate to declare, 1 with strong empha sis, ’ that tho Supremo Court exists but by tho breath of Congross-*-tho Supremo Court, created by the creator of Congress, to Interpret Its laws and bo a check upon Its action! Congress lias no more right to define the powers of tho Supreme Court than to define Its own powers or those of tho President. But lot the crazy fanatics go on with their hellish orgies, In open, shameless dis regard of law and right. If this bill passes the Senate, it will be tho greatest blunder tho Radi cals have yotraado. It will enable tho President to send In o veto message more crushing in ar gument, and more tolling in'lta exposure of the dangerous designs of tho Radicals, than auy state paper .over before published In this coun try. It will bo tho occasion of, an appeal which will startle the country. Lot but the people ful ly understand that tho most august tribunal of tho nation, In which rests their only hope of lib erty, has pronounced tho condemnation of this Rump Congress, and that, smarting under its Judgment, tho Radicals have renounced all alle giance to the,Court and the Constitution which it interprets—lot but tho people know this, and they will swoop these reckless revolutionists from the places which ttioy now,disgrace. There is evidently some secret conspiracy go ing on among the'.members of the “Impeach ment ring." They are all remarkably reticent; oven Ashley is silent, while; the Judiciary Com mittee seem to bo perfectly unfathomable. They meet regularly every morning, and go through tho usual routlao—frequently,on. some unimpor tant matter—while tho groat investigation (as Forney calls it) is not.ovon alluded to, 1. in full committee. There Is a conclave outside, however, and that conclave Is at work. .Not withstanding tho emphatic denials of Radical , members and Radical papers,.! am thoroughly satisfied that tho men who are managing the business on tho part of tbo House, ore not idle, and have no intention of yloldldg, ,lf by their “drag-net" process, they can obtain the least particle of evidence against tho President, or If any swift witness like Conover, for instance, can bo found to furnish them with some manufac tured testimony. They will examine Surratt, when ho arrives, as a matter of course, but Surratt, unsupported, will not do, and others must bo found.to corroborate whatever ho may bo willing to swear to. Ono thing is certain, they aro conducting tho matter in tho strictest secrecy, and It is almost Impossi ble to find out precisely what is going on. The bill of Mr, Representative ’Williams, to susptSfad the functions of any civil onicer of tho Govern ment pending his trial on articles of Impeach ment, has been pretty freely discussed by Radi cal members, and they are generally In favor of ■ It. The difficulty, however,- Is to enact It without letting tho cat out of tho bag. It Is rumored that ox-Doteotivo Baker Is one of ihe principal pimps in the movement, and that he has been authorized to huht up witnesses,, .documents, &o. I am inclined to believe that this is true, as it is well understood that he was freely used to get up a cose against Jefferson Da vis, at which ho labored* assiduously, and gave tho Radical members of the Committee entire satisfaction, so far as bis nefarious'efforts were concerned. It is said that Secretary Stanton, In conversation with a friend, gave it as his opin ion that tho country is In more danger to-day than at any time during the rebellion. Ho thinks tho proposed impeachment of the President will. If prosecuted much farther, lead to a war, the re sult of which It la difficult to foretell, Tho Secre tary is represented as being very apprehensive lest Congress should take s6m<i fatal step la that direction. Tills aouads.strahge- from Stanton.— Nevertheless It. may be true... Stanton, War Minister,' doubtless knows how. tho Presl fieiit .will act in the event Of tho, Impeachment scheme • being pushed,'and, though he acted badly In many respects during the’war, his expe rience in tho struggle, his wish not to see anoth er bloody war, and his desire to retain his seat In tho Cabinet, have combined, perhaps, to lead him to oppose those Radicals with whom, he has been so popular. .Stanton's advice, in connec tion with other Radicals' opposition to this meas ure, may have some effect in putting a stop to tho movement. ■ *' Tho result of tho whole matter will be that some monstrous charges wlil be-“ trumped up" against tho President, for political effect; and to give the war on the South and the President some color' of Justice, and there tho matter will be permitted to rest, without attempting the Impossible task of proving that tbolr charges bav6; ohy founda tion In laot, recommending, In Radical twaddle, that, “not wishing to disgrace the country by such a scene and event os tho removal of a Pres ident, we prefer rather to have him condemned before tho popple," ' If they do proceed .with the impeachment it wifi result in nothing less than a hideous civil war in which men will be eager to cut the throats of their nearest neighbors. It will bo no such war as that from which wp.havo emerged, in which the combatants were separa ted by geographical Hues, There is no .part of the country in which multitudes of the best citi zens do not consider, the cause of thO President as that of the Constitution, If an attempt is made to depose him upon mere partisan grounds, they will conclude that the supremacy of the Consti tution may as well bo vindicated,, once for all, and will accept tho risks and perils of maintain ing it. On Monday hist, about noon, tho Hon. E. D. Holbrook, Delegate to Congress from the Territo ry of Idaho, roughly accosted ex-Governor Cum mings, demanding to liuow whether ho certified that tho facts contained in ah artlcJoin the Chron • icie of yesterday morning were true, in charging that Hon. John A. Murphy, tho newly appointed Governor of Idaho, had been Indicted formol* feasance in oifico, and that tho. county safo # which had been in tho possession of had been broken open, and thatsomoof the mon ey stolen therefrom was subsequently found in his bed. To this Cummings replied that the char ges were true, to which Holbrook took excep tions, and said that tbo President might os well be cbargodwlth appointing thieves to'office, and struck Mr. ’Cummings lu the face with bis fist, af ter which ho brought his cane into reqalsltlo n, and knocked him down.
