Once, already, have these venerable Judges snatched from their Oviit'hotilders the - ermine which. our fathers consecrated to the impartial service of the Constitution and the Law, throwing it down to preserve aris tocratic feet from too degrading a contact with the ,Lilierty they would trample on— but they, miscalculated their' apt - and, in ste& • of:saving slavery from a threatened c ontamination, the . Sacred 'cleak Went wide of lti mark and spanned a gulf, the negro Dltzo7 Sccirr rleading , over - it, >as , over a bridge, four millions of his race frontbond age to freedom. , , Has the great lesson—so pregnant with solemn -warning, illustrated in so much blood and, exemplified_ in ,ati intestine war such as the ;world never before witnessed— Wight: nothing, 'th this 6ptirtluent of the Government ? Has - the Judiciary to learn yet, after all this fearful experience, that it shares'eqnally With its co-in = dinate branches of the National power in the higheat duty of preserving the' unity and pence of the Re public ? Do Judges think, disregarding the teachings of the past, that they may again— withottt striking a blow at the National peace which will shake theithernment and convulse the people,—attempt to dispute the logic of events, to arrest the march of civil liberty, and to inanzurate another rebellion for the restoration of that accursed system which the firs - t, revolt had failed to main. thin? As usual in all cases before the Suprenie Court where a. decision may promise par tizan advantage to the Democracy, ' the forthcoming judginent iu the. MeArdle case is..counted on by therm 'as. sure, to be Inthe interests of their party, and meavorable to the constitutionality of the.Reconstructioz, Acts. The anticipation may prove to be un founded, as similar anticipations .hak - e often" iJfaved before. ' But 'the s utter . absence .in this case of any outgiving' or predietilms to the contrary, is -not a very_ cheering sign.' , The confident declarations of. Democratic journalists arc i Correspondents, who pmtlnd to knots:.-.whereof they prophesy, have hint yet.been met by a solitary contradiction. And there are other indications, in Con-. .gress as well as out of it, that =these appre-, hensions rest upon soine Solid basis. If a majority of the Judges do really pro pose to declare the ' Reconstruction Acts un constitutional, it will he evident that them ignore the effect of rebellion upon the politi-• cal status of the South, and that they mis- . apprehend the consequenees of their de cision. If they assume' the responsibility, thus a second time, of attempting, to con_ . trol, no matter upon what pretext, a ques- tion purely political—and in its 'matrnitude par mount to any in the National history, .not even exceptin,g the rebellion of which it is a -legitimate* wnsequener.!--it - will be a: proof that they consider-net that the rebellion Is\ ended, bid' that -no rebellion Inns ever ex isted.— • GAZETTE: -ITHITRSDAYJNAIICH.

And with this we had also to show them the way to re-organize their own governinental ma chinery, and to qualify their States fora legal re-admission to their former Federal status. It may be that the _Court will decide that the people, by their representativesi were wrong. in this; that we hadno right thps to - complete complete our work. 'We may be powerless to avert such a decision; and we may never be able to repair the mischief it would ivork.
