WM. DOCK, Jr., k Co stlt-TVatriii it z:,ition, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 1,1868. A LEGAL ASPECT OF ram DRAFT. The Times in a recent article vindicates at much length the constitutional power of Con gress to enact the Conscription bill of the last Congress. We observe nothing new in the elaborate effort, except it be an atatimpt to draw thoi inference that because England his lm prog'sed seamen into her navy, therefore, Con gress may impress citizens of New York into the army of the United States, in accordance with provisions of the existing Conscript law. We are quite sure that no•one tint a partisan of the Lincoln administration could possibly bee any analogy •in the two eases. either in fact or theory. The impressment of seafaring men into the royal navy of Great Britain. in the first plate, d +es not rest. upon any positive provision of law; and, in the second place, was always submitted to by the English peo ple of all classes with great reluctance. The right of forcibly putting ileiman into the royal navy, in limes of great exigency, is only to be defended as a prerogative of the crown, given by implication but never conferred by statute. Until the article in the Times was , printed we did not suppose that anybody in the United Slates would assert that British impressment was a practice worthy of imitation. in America. Our neighbor will have few rivals in the work of making the press gang an American insti tution. - The,endeayor of the Time to °rest, the im pression, that all who deny the power of Con gress to enact the law of draft, now on the statute book also deny the existence, under our aystem of government, of any such thing as compulsory military service, is unworthy of that journal. The very article in which it is thus attempted to misrepresent Democratic opinion unwittingly admits that .• our entire State militia system is one of compulsory ser vice," and thus discloses the partisanship of the writer. No Democrat denies to the Federal Govern- ment ample authority to compel all the mili tary service necessary to maintain the Consti tution, to repel invasion, and to enforce the laws ; but it it very generally denied that gen grests has any legal power to do all that is at tempted by the recent not of Congress. The distinction is not, a new one. The principle involved was considered during the revolu tionary apoelt, and was elaborately discussed in Congress during the war of 1812-14. It is a grave quention of constitutional law, which demands pure reason in its consideration ; and which can no more be wisely determined by suggeetionti like those addressed to the PUNIc passion by administration editors and orators than can the power of Congress to compel a citizen to receive a " green-hack " in complete fulfillment of an antecedent contract to pay a doll'ir pi gold be settled upon any sound legal biteitt 'by speeches 'delivered to approving au , diencea on the military conduct of the war, or by poems in praise - of the financial integrity of Simon, called Cameron. The provisions of the' Constitution which relate t 4 the subject of national defence are these; Congress shall have power : " To raise and support armies, but no appro priation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years; U To provide for milling forth the militia, to execute the laws of the "Union ; to suppress in surrections. and to repel invasions; "To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining' the militia. and governing such part of them as may be employed in the ser. vice of •the • United Slatta, reserving to the States respectively the appointment of the officers, etc. " A well regulated militia being necessary to the clarity of a free 15 MI% the right of the people to keep mid bear arms shall not be in fringed." It is apparent at a glanoe that the Constitu- tion employs two terms in providing for the general defense, and that the two do not refer each to the same thing. The terms are " arm ies" and "militia." The army is a body be longing exclusively to the United States ; the militia is a thing of the States. The army of. the United States had no existence till the Con stitution was adopted: end an army raieedunv der it ; the militia of the States was an insti tution which existed long before the Union of 1789 was framed. The regular army is the re salt of a contract between the individual cid len and the United States to eerie as soldier or oilier for a certain length of tim", and for a certain stipulated sum ; the militia grows out of the duty of every able bodied man to be ready and willing to defend the government which protects hum The basis of the Dewy is a contract and pay ; of the militia the basis is civic duty. Congress raises and supports " armies ;" the States Tahiti and support "militia." Observe 'that clause in the Consti tution which provides for raising armies (Art. I, Sec. VIII) and note its language : " Con gress shall have power to raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money for that use shall be for a longer term than two years " There is no money limitation upon the power to " eall forth militia" to execute the laws of the Union, to suppress insurrection, and to re pel invasion. And this " calling forth the militia" is the way and manner by which the Constitution enables the Federal Government to use and employ, on emergency, a force larger than the regular " armies" of the United States; to use and employ a force which numerically is sure to be equal to any proper porpotte. Nobody doubts or denies toot the State of New York can enroll and place in the militia of the'State every able bodied white citizen of New York capable of bearing arms. The act of April 28, 1862, is evidence of what the pea= pie of New York have done to maintain a militia fume& subject to. be "called folk" ley Opogress tinder the conditions specified in the Constitution. When that call is legally made the Governor of the State must and will one; it, as he did when a r- quisitton was made for troops 1 0.0 to the NOW of Ponnstr Ivania. Thus much for the assertion of the lime& that those who deny the conaututiunelity of the Cons Tip- Hoe law teerefore del y tall .power in ine Ftd eral government to compel servioe. The difficulty with the Conscripttou bill is, that it ignores tee ezisionee of the States ; it strikes down the mutts wnich the Constitu tion says is t• ueuees.ry to the security of a free State." The framers of the great charter of the republic intenued and desired that when the regular army proved insuffrient for the 101 l RI defence the militia of tilt Slatei should be called fort h in regularly orgat used bodies of companies, r gimente, battalions, briaad. s. Or divisions, kept together and commanded by officers conimiseimied by tae States II was sever it tead t d that the prerittent should have power to draft mitt out of the Militia f the Stales and into the Federal s. 'vies, in deistic's of the Slate authorities. it was not considered necessary to the national defence them; it. is DPOPOBIO7 to 'thy atom* defence new.

The following is, from the Straits Times Overland' Mail of the 21st of June: "On the 3d inst., at half past seven in the evening, 'a ciroumambient flame was seen to raise from the earth sod gird the city of Maailla (the 'Beau teous Flower of tbe East,' as she is finely and poetically designated by her possessors,) at the same time a most terrific quaking of the earth took place. It lasted scarcely a minute, hut in that short space nearly the. whole of fair Manilla had been xeduced to a heap of ruins. The aboidnation of desolation has taken possession of her palaces, her temples and her dwelling-pldces,and death and destruct lion have ridden triumphantly otier the land. We believe that upwards of a thousand have been killed, and many thousands wounded, but it is impossible to say or to estimate. Scarcely an edifice has cecaped without dead or wounde t. The good priests, their ohoriritere and sacristans, and the faithful who were hear ing the vespers of Corpus Christi, have been nearly all buried and suffocated under the ruins of the cathedral and other churches The only church 'that has escaped wholly is San Augusa- the same that withstood the tre mendous shock of 1646. The palace,. and nearly all the public and pritiate, as will 'as commercial edifices, have either been. tlitown down or shaken front their huudatious.— Thank God ! not a single foreigner has been killed, but two we hear, have been seriously hurt, though ncittlineeionsly. • The Rodrigues property ; left to ti,e British nation, and where the Britieh cotwulate was, be's been entirely destroyed, and is nothing but`a wises of ruble. We must telicitateSpaiu on-the conduct of her subjects here, of all classes, during this great and sudden trial ; they acted admirably. The governor-general and the areboishop set a* brilliant example, whinh has been copied nearly by all, of calmness, fortitude, resignation and energetic eympatby. The city is deserted nearly, for the 'edifices threaten to fall Sud denly, and there may be (though Heaven fore fend it) a repetition. - Before the cart Itqaake took place sulphurous odors• were perceived, rumbling like the firing of ordnance, and thee like the approach of an immense Wouttatiee and train. The flame that snrrOunAed the city sae been from the bay to ascend towards the' sky; and another, a tippled snake, one, came from the land over the water to the shipping, and threw them up at least two or. three feet, while on shore the earth has everywhere sunk at least two feet, God help us; we are all sink and nervous, and require all our faith and confidence to sustain us." TEE COURSE OF REPUBLICANISM. Some ten years ago, when the Republican party wan started, Dem*crate like D 13. Dick enson and Cochrane, Whigs like Choate. Con stitution men like Everett, said as distinetlY as words and acts could speak: " Your party must inevitably be sectional t, a sectional party , is inevitably dangeroue. Your platform is a • alap in the face to the South " Advice. en treaty, argument, were of : no avail. Four years after, the same men said to the same party: "To every argument we urged before we now add the fast that the Supreme Court has decided this question against you, and you therefore yield, not to political opponents, but to law; your pride is sate, your banner is not lowered to man." In order to meet the overwhelming weight of this last argument. the :Repaltikan , party was forced to take precisely 'the posision as to the Constitution which Mr. Calhoun took as the basis of nu/Walton. When Mr. Lincoln was elected, secession began. It might have been arrested by the Crittenden compromise. The Republicans refused to become parties to that. After Mr. Lincoln was elected war arose: The Republicans said : " Let there be no party, let us adjourn all debate as' to who was in fault originally till the war is over." It was agreed to. • At that time everybody understood what was to be done. The administration. noder the Constitution, was to use arms until it could ex ercise ita constitutional power over every inch of our territory. Joseph Bolt, whose loyalty is superservioeable, wrote to H-ntuoky " The great thoroughfares of the North, the East, and the West are luminous with the banners, and glistening with the bayonets of citizen sol diers. No excesses will mark the foutsteps Of the crudes of the republic, no institution of the States will be invaded or tampered with, no rights of persons or of property will be violated. The known Imposes of the administration and the high character of the troops employed,. alike mummy, the truthfulness of this state ment.' Proof might be piled on proof, it it were necessary, but the truth is so fresh in he memory of all that fut ther citation is unneces sary. In a very short time the administration began doing just exactly what it was warring against atvis for doing—violating the Consti tution, by the suppression of newspapers and by arbitrary arrests. The Democrats- called out : " You are wasting your energies. Year business is to tight ineurgents in the Confed eracy, not men at home, whether they be Union or not." Next the administration hegan to conduct the war on "the rights of humanity" system. The Democrats said : " We have noth ing to do with the • rights of humanity,' wears fighting for our own rights to the Wien ; it will he a pretty tough lib to get them, but we can do it. and we don't wont to carry any more weight than we can avoid into a hard fight " The administration psi , ' no attention to the' notions of at least thres•fif he of the voters in the free Sates, and of course those three-fills determined, in the proper, legal manner , to . 1 have 'heir own wty, and organized into a party for the purpose of 'placing power elsewhere..

[From the Chriatain Advocate.] In puriest issue you copy from a daily paper an article in reintion to the noted highway robber and murderer, John Morgan, ant the gang`confined with him in the Onio peniten tiary, in which there are some errors. Ittsay not be a matter of much•consequenoe to the pnbtic to know any further of' the status of Morgan, except that he is in safe custody, in the care of our vigilant and inflexible warden; N. Marion, Esq., where he will remain in all security till removed by proper authority, There are sixty-eight of Morgarea'officers in the prison. They occupy the ~oath side of the new hall, each end 'of whieh is 'temporarily closed. They are locked up separately in cells at seven o'clock , in the evening; and are. un locked at about seven in the morning. They enjoy the privilege of walking the hall tbronglt the day, which is, perhaps, one hundred lurid fifty feet long and twelve feet wide. At eight a. in. and three p. m. they are conducted to the common dining-hall. and have prison fare, with, I believe, the addition of coffee and sugar; and - some-few articles furnished by thetuneltea. Morgan had 'no "belt filled with .gold, green backs and Confederate notes." His valuables amounted to twenty-three dollars and bitter nut breast pin. The amount .of our severe ment and postal currency tound on tbe peraons of the other officers was not large. They had considerable sums in Confederate money.. • Morgan and his men are all shaved and trimmed, in accordance 1412 the rule of the institution. This is the custom, I suppose, for two 11116001113 firm, to Secure pereenal cleanli ness ; second, to give a uniform app 'seance to • the prisoners so that- detection would be more easy, in else of an attempt to escape. • ; • They do ,not wend our obapPl•servioen, The reason is obvious. It would bring a orewd,of visitors, attracted' by. curiosity ; and, besides, our services are too loyal to snit traitors.' AU who desire bibles are supplied from the prison library, and, by permission of the' warden, I sent down for dietribittion poorer them a large number of the volumes of the Christian Li-• beery. In appearance, Morgan looks like a num addicted to worldly pleasure. He is full six. feet high, straight and well built, with an elan- tic step end something of a commanding pre sence. His upper lip is short and etimetihat sunken, so that kis front teeth are slightly ex posed. His complexion is sandy. and the Vats quite thin nn the top of bin bead. He leeks to be an Ordinary man intellectually. Hb has, however, one of the qualifications of a good commanderhi kates -hoot to obey I He con forms strictly to the rules of the establishiamg,,, an.tenjoins obedience on tbe part of hie fellow-, prisoners. . • Col. Cluko lo three or four luobeetallrrthazt. Morgan, very,elender, with a.thin, sharp face and resolute eye.- I suppose from hie appear ance he has more dash and daring than Morgan himself. • Basil Duke is a small man, ,firmly bull -and muscular. His complexion is dark, aadldir eye and head indicate some mind and ;It heart. He is much the most man of the crowd. - I only speak of them se they /ppm_ I Wave no intercourse with sny.of them, except as hive met three or 'four in the holpitaL 1. sou and talk with them theta as I de,with the other sick.
