    late-Mr. 'Justice' Hayne. Louisiana, Ar
kansas an: Texas are allotted to the sixth
judicial district, as to which there is ijva
cattcy on the bench. The Chief Justice in
the exercise of his circuit dutits, has re
c,,ntly held a circuit court in the State or
Nardi Carolina. It' North Carol na is not
a Stae of this Union, the Chief Justice
had Ito authority to hold a court there,
and ever, judgment and decree rendered
by him in tll.O. court were roma non ja
r' ire.
Another ground on which these recob-,
strudtion acts are attempted to be sus
tained is this: that these ten States are
compered -territory that the
ut II relation in which they stood as
States toward the Federal government
prior to the rebellion has given place to
new relation ;
their territory is conquered
c lantrv, and their citizens a conquered
people, and that in this new relation Con
gress can govern them by military power.
A title by conquest stands on !lear
ground ; it is a new title acquired by war,
It applies only to territory, for goods and
moveable things regularly captured in
war are called " booty," or if taken by in
dividual soldiers, " plunder."
There is not a foot of the land in any
one of these ten States which the United
States holds - by conquest, save only such
laud as did not belcug to, either of these
States or to any individual owner. I
mean such lands. as did not belong to the
pretended government called the Confed
erate States. These lands we may claim
to hold by conquest; as to all other land
of territory, whether belonging to States
or individuals, the Federal goveanment
-his no more right or title to tharrit had
before the rebellion. Our own forts, ar
senals' navy-yards, customhouses and
Faber Federal property situate in those
States we now hold, not by the title of
c mqaest but by our old title—acquired by
purchase or cut/demotion to public use,
with cempensation to former owners.—
We have net conquered these places, but
sfinply repossessed them. It we require
more sites ibr forts, custom-houses, or
any other public use, we must acquis the
title to them fi'y purchase or nppropria
lion in the regular mode.
At this moment the-United States in
the acquisition of sites for national ceme
teries in these States, acquires title in the
same way. The Federal courts sit in
court-lm,es owned or leased by the Uni
ted Stotts, not in the court-honses of the
States. The United States pays each of
these States for the use of its jails. Fin- !
ally, 'he United States levies its direct
taxet and its internal revenue, uptn the !
proper; y in these States,inelnding the pro- 1
due,ion of the land Nyithia their tendtori
al
limiis, not by way of levy and contri
bubion in the character of a conqueror,
bat in the regular way of taxation, under
the same laws which apply to al the oth
er States of the Union. From first to last,
daring the rebellion and since, the title of
each i-f these States to the lands and pub
lic buildings owned by them has never
been disturbed, and not a fbot of it has
ever. been acquired by the United States,
even udder a title by confiscation, and
not a toot of it has t ti or been taxed under
Federal law.
In conclusion, I must respectfully ask
'the attention of Congress to the consider
ation of one wore piestion arising under
this big :
It Tests in the military commander,
subject only to the approval of the Gen
eral of the army of it t I.::;ited States, an
uulimited power to remove from (7ffice
any civil or fil, - !or in each of
these Suites, and the further power, sub
ject to the same approval, to detail or ap
point any military offico or soldier of the
United States to perform the duties °file
officer so removed, and.to fill all vacancies
occurring in these States by death, resig
nation or otherwise. The military ale
poinye thus required to perform the du
ties of a civil t Piker, accDrding to the laws
of the State, and as such required to take
an oath, is, fbr the time being, a civil of
ficer. Ntihut is his ch'araeter ? Is he a
civil officer of the State or a cif it officer of
the troiletl States? If he i; a civil
flicer of the State, where is the Federal
power under our'Constitution which au
thorizN4 his appointment by any Federal
fficer ? lf, however, he is to be consid
( rod a civil officer of the I:lilted States, as
i.is appointment and oath would seem to
indicate, where is the authoriiy for Lis ap.
' , ointment vested by the Constitution
?
The power of nppoin•mcut rl all officers
of the United States', ii or military,
where not, provided for iu the Constitu
tion, is vested in the President, by and
with the advice and c onsent of the . Sen
ate, with this. e_cception : That Congress
may by law vest the appointment of such
inferior officers as they think proper in
l,e President alone, in the courts of law,
r,e by the heads of departments. But this
bid, if these are to be considered inferior
offices within the meaning of the Coristi-
I-ut ion,.does not provide for tlitir appoint.
mout by the President alone, or by the'
courts of law, or by the heads of depart
ments, but vests the appointment in one,
subordinate executive officer, subject to .
the approval of another s'rhordinate exec
utive officer; so that if we'put this ques-•
tion, and fix the character of this military
appointee, either way this pros ision of
the bill is equally oppoy to the Consti
tution..
Take the case of :t .nldier or ()Meer ap
pointed to, perfortn the office of judge in
one ofthese States, and as such to admin
er the proper laws of the State,
where is the authority to be found in the
Constitution fir vesting io a military or
on executive °eider strict judicial fupc
lions •to be exereised. under State law; ii
his been again and again decided by the
Supreme CoUrt of the United States that
acts of Congress which have attempted
to vest executive power iu the judicial
courts or judges of the 'United States are
cot warranted by the Constitution.
If CongrOgs Cannot' 'clothe - a - judge with
meielY executive duties, how can they
clothe an officer oi• soldier of the -army,
with judicial . .daties over citizens of the
United , States who, are not in the milita
ry or naval ; service:
Su, too, it :has been repe . ateTy docided
that Congress cannot require a State owl.
cer„executive or judicial, to perform any
duty enjoinedupon him by a law of the
United States. itow, then, can Congress
confer power upon au executive officer of
the United States to perform such duties
in-a - State? IfCongress could not vest pow
erin a jtidge ofone of these States,hy direct
enactment, how can it accomplish the
same thing indirectly by removing the
Slate judge and putting an 'officer of the
United States in his place ?
To me these considerations aro conclu
sive of the unconstiOnality of the part of
the bill now before me, and I earnestly
commend their consideration to the delib
erate judgment of Congress.
Within a period less than a year the
legislation of Congress has attempted to
strip the executive department of the gov
ernment of sotne of its essential powers.
The Constitution, and the oath provid
ed in it, devolves upon the President the
power and duty to see that the laws are
faithfully executed. ThdConstitution, in
order to carry, out this power, gives him
the choice of the agents, and makes them
subject to his control and supervision, but
in the execution of these laws the consti
tutional obligation upon the President re
mains, but the power to exercise that
constitutional duty is effectually taken
away.
The military commander is, as to the
power of appointment, made to take the
place of the President, and the General of
the army the place of the Senate, and any
attempt on tjie part of the President to
assert his own constitutional power may,
under preterine .of law, be met by official
insubordination.
It is to be feareJ that those military
officers, looking to the authority given by
these, rather than to the letter of the
Constitution; will recognize no authority
but the commander of the district and the
general of the army. If there were no
other objection than this to this proposed
legislation,it would be sufficient. Whilst
I hold the chief executive authority of the
United States ; whilst the obligation rests
upon me to see that all the laws are faith
fully exectocd, I can never willingly sur
render that trust, or the powers given for
its execution. I can never give my assent
to be made responsible for the faithful
execution of laws, and at the same time
surrender that trust, and the powers
which accompany it, to any other execu
tive officer, high or low, or to any number
of executive officers.
If this executive trust, vested by the
Constitution in the President, is to be
taken from him and vested in a subordi
mita officer, . the responsibility will be
with Congress, in clothing the subordi
nate with unconstitutional power, and
with the officer who assumes its exercise.
This interference with the c,mstitu
tional authority of the executive depart
ment is an evil that will eventually sap the
foundations of oar federal system, but is
not the worst evil of this legislation. It
is a great public wrong to take from the
President power conferred on him alone
by;the Constitution. But the -wrong is
more flagrant and more. 'dangerous when
the powers so taken from the President
;are conferred upon subordinate executive
officers, and especialy upon military offi
cers. Over nearly one-thit.d of the States
of the Union military power, ref elated by
no fixed law, reigns supreme. Each one of
the five district commanders, though not
chosen by the4,-people or responsible to
them, exercisds at this hour more execu
tive power, military and civil, than the
people have ever been willing to confer
upon the head of the executive depart
ment, though chosen by and responsible
to themselves. The remedy must COMP
from the people themselves. They know
what it. is and how it. is to be applied. At
the present time they cannot, according to
the forms of the Constitution, repeal these
laws. They cannot remove or control
this military despotism. The remedy is
nevertheless in their hands. It is to be
found in the ballot, and is a sure nne, if
not controlled by fraud; overawed by
arbitrary power, or from apathy on their
part to long delayed.
With abiding . confidence in their pa;
triotism and integrity, I am still hopeful
of the future, and thin. in the -end the rod
of despotism ❑ ill;be broken, the armed
heel of power lifted from the necks of
the people, and the principles of a vio
lated Constitution preserved.
ANDREW JOHNSON
-- lOW -
A Wise Lieutenant.
O n the Fourth of July a number of
folks at Richmond got up a little pic-nic,
and during the heat of the day the Decla
ration of Independence was read ; which
a Federal Lieutenant, who was present,
mistook for a treasonable •harangue. He
had the whole party arrested—hut what
was his astonishment when he found that
he had mistaken the Declaration of Inde
pendence fur a treasonable speech against
his c mmander and the Rump Congress.
Grave Responsibility Somewhere.
Gen. BUTLEP. made the important , ptatp..
went in Congress, that TWENTY
THOUSAND :UNION PRISONERS, in
Andersonville, Saulsbury and elsewhere,
'were offered to be,' exchanged by the
Rebels ' on account of their inability to
feed them, and that our Government, re
' fused the expbange. This important state
"went, often tepeated„ is now believed by
large numbers of well informed and pa
triotic citizens, North and South. Since
Gen. Butler has started this inquiry, let it
be proiecuted to the 'end.
—Congress adjourned an the 21st inst.
to Novetober 21st, 1867.

DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET
{UDGE OF SUPREME COURT,
HON. GEORGE SHARSW.OOO,I
PIII LADELPI:IIA
The Veto Message
Not onef
oll%r readers should neglect
to read the / lucid and unanswerable argu
ments adduced by President Johnson in
his message vetoing the Despot bill. Let
it be widely circulated, and placed ir. the
hands of every voter in the State. Dem
ocrats should put a copy ofit in the hands
of their Radical neighbors who are de
barred from reading it by Radical organs,
which generally do not publish it but re
fer to it only to grossly misrepresent it.
Member of Congress.
In response to many inquiries, we will
state that but two Democrats are talked
of as candidates front this county, who
consent to the use of their names. These
are : IZ. B. Little, Esq., of Montrose, and
Mr. John Blanding, of Harford. The tbr
mer, however, is not seeking a non:iitia
t ion.
In Lnzerne, there is a spontaneous cur
rent iu,favor of inducing Judge Wood
ward to accept the office. He is now in
Europe, and knows nothing of the mo‘e
ment. Should the honor of tilling the va
cancy fall upon Luzerue, no man they
could name would be better known or
more acceptable than our Chief Justice,
who has faithfully stood the test and has
never been found war ting. llitr ability,
integrity, and Democracy are unquestion
able.
This question is in the hands ordilic'pe - oL
pie ; and no matter who may or who may
not seek a nomination, the high trust will
be bestowed upon Duo amply eon:patent
and trustworthy.
"George W. Sharswood, from the
bench of une of the highest courts in the
State, rendered an opinion looking to the
repudiation of the national debt."—Re
publican papers.
The above is a deliberate falsehood.
Judge Sharswood gave no such opinion.
His opinion was that if any perso9 bad
,made a contract, to pay a certain.4li In
SPECIE, nothing but specie was alawful
tender in payment. The cave at
was this : In 1732 a contract was made
whereby the annual interest upon a
ground rent was to be paid in Spanish
dollars of a certain weight. After green
backs came into use, the debtor offered to
pay an equal number of greenback "dol
lars" in lieu of silver dollars. This offer
the creditor declined—hence a suit and
the consequent opinion. Sharswood's
opinion has always been common law,
common sense, and common honesty.
Holders of gold-bearing bonds now ex
pect to get interest in gold. If Shars
wood's opinion is correct, they are legal
ly entitle,d to it. But if Sharswood
wrong, and his radical defamers are right,
the Treasury Department can at. any time
pay greenbaCks in place of gold I How
will Radical bondholders like that doc
trine? Yet they are now called upon to
vote against Sharswood because lie is in
favor of maintaining theforce of honest
contracts! Fvery holder of gold bonds
who votes against Sharswood, votes in
favor of cheating himself out of the differ
ence between gold and paper—forhat is
just the pointin question.
Snrratt's Trial.
The trial of John 11. Surra% for the
murder of Mr. Lincoln, is still in progress,
although probably near the end. Frank
lin Fraser, G. B. Eldred, G. Z. Dimoa,
J. W. Colb, C. Cushman, A. D. Biatieir:
field and J. R. Fletcher, of Montrose,were•
down last week as witnesses to impeach
Dr. Augustus Bissell, one of the witness
es who saw Surratt in Elmira about the
time of the murder.
Several witnesses from Waverly, N.Y.,
were examined on this point; but they
differed .radically, some giving Bissell a
good and others a bad reputation for
t path.
On the 17th Radical Wilson intro
duced an 'amendment to the Federal
Constitution to prohibit any State from
making any discrimination in civil or
political rights on account of race or color.
The Radical Philadelphia inquirer adds
that "If Congress should conclude that
this is the shortest way to secure the col-.
crud vote in those States where it is now
denied, it will be adopted, as it is,deter
mined to count them all in the next Pres
idential election."
So it appears that tho rads intend to
FORCE negro stirrage upon this and other
States, in some way. The remedy is at
the polls! White men, attend !
The Work of Congress.
The following is a full list of the acts
! and joint resolut ions which became laws at
f the session of Congress just closed :

mentary thereto passed on 23d of March,
1867.
A joint resolution of the House to car
ry into etfeet the several acts prov L iffing
for the more efficient government o r
t he
Rebel States.
The following did not become a law by
the refusal of the President to sign it.—
The adjurnment of Congress preventing
it vett,:
A hill to secure equal rights in the Dis
triet of Columbia.
What the "Lambs" have been•at.
A negro ravished a little white gild at
Brandy wine Hundred, Del., on the 9th.
A negro watchman is in jail at:St. Lou
is IOT ravishing two white children aged
8 and 9 years.
Negro highwaymen are very buld and
bloody about Nurlolk and Portsmouth.
A negro committed a rape on a white.
young lady in Christian Hundred,Chester
..iounty, on Sunday the 7th inst.
Throia megrvea murdered the family of
Mr. Joseph Foster, of North Carolina, a
few days ago.
A brutal ferocious looking negro forced
his way into a car. and took a seat in a
white lady's lap. A gentleman next to
her knocked the Ecound re I down, the ne
groes rallied for a fight, and the car was
quickly cleared. The police interfered
and stopped the proceedings of the vio
lent negroes.
. Infanticide prevails to a great extent
among the freed negroes. In Columbia,
nine babies were found in oue well.
Nigro highwaymen have become so
bad about Norfolk, that the military have
been tequested to interfere to'plit a stop
to their depredations.
- The town of Brenham, in Washington
county, Texai, was recently burned by
ne,Yro soldiers.
Rev. Thomas 11. Jones, of Pembroke,
Mass., a negro preacher, has been sen
tenced to pay a tine for an indecent as
sault upon a couple of white women.
Way
The Way the Republicans Maintain
their Two-Thirds.
As is well kuown, the eutire li.2ntueky
delegation to the Fortieth Congress—all
Democrats—were excluded from their
seats at the, commend( inent of ;h e l a t e
adjurned session of the Rump, on one
frirolnus pretext and another. To show
the character of these trumped-up pretex
ts we give the facts respecting oue of the
excluded members:
Judge Young presented the Governoe's
certificate as a Member elect from the .
State of Kentucky. The Radicals were
prepared with the affidavits of one Hock
aday, an ignorant negro who can neither
read or u rite, setting forth that Youngs
commanded a Rebel force during the war,
whereupon Judge Young was expelled
from his seat. A few days afterwards
Mr. Brooks presented a counter affidavit
from this same Hockaday, who now
swears that the previous affidavit was a
sheer fabrication, that he never saw it or
heard it read, or swore to it, and that he
never knew Judge Young as commanding
a Rebel tbrce or doing anything of the
kind. And yet it is by such fraud and
perjury as this that duly elected Rep
resentatives of the people are excluded
from their seats by the 'Radical majority.
False Pretense.
In all business transactions false pre
tense is punished as an offence of a serious
nature, and he who practices it parts with
his character. Why should not this be
the case with political patriots when they
attempt to cheat the people? The Radi
cal is to all intents and purposes a party
of false pretenses and are going before the
people on fraudulent issues. The late
Convention refused to en
dorse negro suffrage, their most darling
issue, and by their silence want to cheat
the public into the belief that they are not
in favor of it. The Bucks County intelli
gences (Radical) convicts them of playing
false, for it .boasts that the party will
strike the word " white" from the State
constitution, "whenever the opportunity
arrives." Mill the people suffer them
selves to be cheated?
—Sumner and the Radicals generally
maintain that the government of Pennsyl
vania, as well as , that of the other North.
ern States, is not "republican in form," as
required by the Federal Constitution, be
cause negro suffrage is not numbered
among the institutions.
