SATURDAY MORNING, OCT. 17, 1863.
USURPATION.
Extracts from Debates in the National
Convention of 1787 upon the Danger of
Usurpation.
The men who framed the Constitution were
men of large experience. They had lived un
der the rule of England,. and knew from actual
experience, from recent traditions of their
fathers, and even from the.long history of the
mother country, of the danger to the liberties
of the people from the oppressions of those in
power. Their great object was to establish a
government based upon the will of the people,
with such written provisions and guarantees
as would forever secure the people against the
arbitrary power of the men who ehould repre
sent" the government. To this end they framed
a government of laws, a government in which
the duties and powers of those in authority
were defined and limited. As all governments
must be administered by men, they strove, in
the hour of calm reason, to provide not only
against encroachments on the liberties of the
people, by unwise and bad men, but against
any undue-exercise of power by worthy mag
istrates, under the influence of the passions
and excitements generated by an inflamed state
of the public mind, in times of great dissen
sions. Experience had taught them the falli
bility of the best and wisest of men. They
knew that the tendency of unrestricted power
is to strengthen itself, and that the only safety,
in the contingencies of the future, wouldi be
found in prescribing and limiting the powers
of those who should administer ; the govern
ment.
Their words are full of warning and instruc
tion, and afford a terrible rebuke to those who
in the time of public excitement and danger,
would break over the limits which the fathers
set to the exercise of power, and would con
fidingly entrust all the liberties of the people
to the keeping of a partisan administration.
' The following extracts are from discussions
upon various sections of the Constitution, and
their application can be understood, without
stating the different subjects of debate: ,
Mn. HAMILTON—On the other plan of ap
pointing him [the President] for seven years,
he thought the executive ought to have but
little power. He would be ambitious with the
means of making creatures, and as the object
a big bc t9prOong hIS pull.,
it is possible that in case of war he would
avail himself of the emergency to evade or re
fuse a degradation from his place.
Mn. Mamsos—A people deliberating . in a
temperate movement, and with the experience
of other nations before them, on the plan of
government most likely to secure their happi
ness, would first be aware that those charged
'with the public happiness might betray their
trust. An obvious precaution against this
danger would be, to divide the trust between
different bodies of men, who might watch and
check each other.
COLONEL MASON was for giving all possible
weight to the revikiemiry Jostitution, The
executive polder ought to be well secured
against legislative usurpations on it. The purse
and the sword ought never to get into the same
hands, whether legislative or executive.
Mn. RANDOLPH—No mischief can be appre
hended, as the concurrence of the other branch,
and in some measure - of the executive, will in
all cases be necessary. A firmness and indepen
dence may be more necessary, also, in this
branch, as it ought to guard the Constitution
affaipst encroachments of the executive s who
will be apt to form combinations with the
demagogues of the popular branhe.
Dn. FRANKLIN said: We seemed too much to
fear cabals, in appointments by a number, and
to have too much confidence in those of single
persons. Experience showed that caprice, the
intrigues of favorites and mistresses, were
nevertheless the means most prevalent in mon
archies. Among instances of abuse in such
modes of appointment, he mentioned the many
bad governors appointed in Great Britain for
th e co l on i es . He thought a Council would not
only 'be a check on a bad President, but a re
lief to a good one.
MR. SIIERMANIII making laws, regard
should be had to the sense of the people who
are to be bound by them; and it was more
probable that a single man should mistake or
betray this sense, than the Legislature.
Ma. SHEamatt—He admitted it to be proper
that many officers in the executive department
should be so appointed; but contended that
many ought not, as general officers in the ar
my, in time of peace, &c. Herein lay the cor
ruption in Great Britain. If the executive can
model the army, he may set up an absolute
government ; taking advantage of the close of
a war, and an army commanded by his crea
tures. James 11. was not obeyed by his offi
cers, because they had been appointed by his
predecessors, not by himself.
MR. BUTLER was strentrous for the motion,
as a necessary . security against ambitions and
corrupt Presidents. He mentioned the late
perfidious policy of the Stadtholder in Holland
and the artifices of the Duke of Marlborough
to prolong the war of which he had the man
agement.
a. WiLsow—Despotism ewes on mankind
in different shapes. sometimes is an executive,
sometimes in a military one. Is there no dan
ger of a legislative despotism? Theory and
practice both proclaim it. If the legislative
authority is not restrained there can be neither
liberty nor stability; and it can only be re
strained by dividing it within itself, into dis
tinct and independent branches. In a single
House there is no check, but the inadequate
one, of the virtue and good sense of those who
compose it.
Mn.GOVERNEUR MORRIS—The Legislature
will continually seek to aggrandize and per
petuate themselves; and will seize those criti
cal moments produced by war, invasion, or
convulsion, for that purpose.
Ma. GOUVERNEUR MORRIS—It is the most
difficult of all to rightly balance the Execu
tive. Make him too weak—the Legislature
will usurp his power. Make him the strong—
he will usurp on the Legislature.
Mr, Racroobrn said the propriety of im
peachments was a favorite principle with him.
Guilt, wherever found, ought to be punished.
The Executive will have great opportunities of
abusing his power, particularly in time of war,
when the military force, and in some respects
the public money, will be in his hands.
Should no regular punishment be provided, it
will be irre e ularly Inflicted by tumults and in
surrections
Ma Gotrvennanu Mows—But make him
ineligible a second time—and prolong his du
ration even to fifteen years—will he, by any
wonderful interposition of Providence at that
period, Min to be a meal he will be
unwilling to quit his exaltation; the road to
hie object through the Constitution will be
abut; he will be in poeveasion of the sword; a
civil war will ensue, and the commander of a
victorious army, on whichever aide, will be the
despot of America. This consideration rem-

dere him particularly anxious that the Execu
tive should be properly constituted.
Mr. MADISON—The truth is, that all men
having power ought to be distrusted, to a cer
tain degree.
Mx. Devric—lf he be not impeachable
whilst in offloe, he will spare no efforts or
miens whatever to get himself re elected. He
considered this as an essential security for
the good behavior of the Executive.
Mr. WILSON concurred in the necessity of
making the Executive impeachable whilst in
office.
Mr. MADISON thought it indispensable that
some provision should be made for defending
the community against the incapacity, negli
gence or perfidy of the Chief Magistrate. The
limitation of his period of service was not a
suf f icient security. He might lose his capacity
after \his appointment. He might pervert his
administration into a scheme of speculation or
oppression, He might betray his trust to for
eign powers.
COLONEL IVIASON.:—No point is of more im
portance than that the right of impeachment
should be continue& Shall any man be above
justice ? Above all, shall that man be above
it who can commit the most extensive injus
tice? When great crimes were committed, he
was for punishing the principal as well as the
coadjutors. There had been much debate and
difficulty as to the mode of choosing the Ex
ecutive. He approved of that which was
adopted at first, namely, of referring the ap
pointment to the National Legislature. One
objection against electors was the danger of
their being corrupted by the candidafies, and
this furnished a peculiar reason in favor of
impeachments whilst in office. Shall the man
who has practiced corruption, and by that
means procured his appointment in the first
instance, be suffered to escape punishment by
repeating his guilt?
Ma. MADISON.—In the case of the Executive
magistracy, which was to be administered by
a single man, loss of capacity or corruption
was more within the compass of probable
events, and either of them might be fatal to the
Republic.
MR. GERRY urged the necessity of impeach
ments. A good magistrate will not fear them.
A bad one ought to be kept in fear of them.
He hoped the maxim would never be adopted
here, that the Chief Magistrate could do no
wrong.
Mu. Eritewoavu.—The Executive will be re
garded by the people with a jealous eye. Every
power .for augmenting unnecessarily his influ
ence will be disliked.
MR. MADISON.—A standing military force,
with an overgrown Executive, will not long be
safe companions to liberty, The means of de
fence against foreign danger have been always
the instruments of tyrany at home. Among
the Romans it was a standing maxim, to ex
cite a war whenever a revolt was apprehen
ded. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept
up, under the pretext of defending, have en
slaved .the people.
Ma. GOUVENEUR MORRIS.—This country
must be united. If persuasion does not unite
it, the sword will. He begged this considera
tion might have its due weight. The scenes of
horror attending civil 04mmotion cannot be
described, and the conclusion of them will be
worse than the term of their continuance.—
The stronger party will then make traitors of
the•weaker ; and the gallows and halter will
finish the work of the sword.
Ma. PINCKNEY was for a vigorous Executive,
but was afraid the executive powers of the ex
isting Congress might extend to peace and
war, &a.; which would render the Executive a
monarchy of the worst kind—to wit, an elec
tive one.
Mn. BuTLEIL had been in favor of a single
Executive magistrate, but, could he have en
tertained an idea that a complete negative on
the laws was to be given him, he certainly
should have acted very differently. It had
been observed that in all countries the Execu
tive power is in a constant course of increase.
This was certainly the case in Great Britain.
Gentlemen seemed to think that we had no
thing to apprehend froin an abuse or the Ex
ecutive power. But why might not a Catiline
or s Cromwell arise in this country, as well
as in others ?
CoL. HAMILTON Ras seriously of opinion
that the Houle of Representatives was on so
narrow a scale as to be really dangerous, and
to warrant a jealousy in the people for their
liberties. He remarked, that the connection
between the President and the Senate would
tend to perpetuate him, by corrupt influence.
It pas the more necessary ? on this account,
that a numerous representation in the other
branch of the Legislature should be estab
lished.
THE ARMY TESTIMONIAL TO M'CLELLAN.-
There is no other thing which the radicals
have made such noitM about of late as the pro
posed army testimonial to Gen. M'Clellan.—
The constant cry, that it has proved a failure,
is on a par with all their other falsehoods in
regard to that gallant officer, and it is further
proof that they fear M'Clellan's ability. Were
he so poor an officer, and possessed so little
talent ait they claim he does, there would be
no attacks upon him. The foot is, they know
that he is one of the ablest Union generals.—
Hence their constant assaults upon him to
poison the public mind.
In regard to the testimonial by the army to
M'Clellan, its success was far beyond the an
ticipations of the friends of that general. The
basis for subscriptions for privates was ten
cents each; but in many instances they refused
to limit themselves to that figure. In most in
stances the rank and file took hold of it with
great enthusiasm. In one division alone the
sum of ten thousand dollars was raised. The
only instance where there were any objections
raised were in a New York regiment, whpse
colonel, when raising hie regiment, publicly
announced that he would have no one but Abo
litionists in his regiment, and a Michigan regi
ment and one other from the West. These
regiments were all that made any objections.
When the order was issued putting a. stop to
the subscription, the round sum of thirty
thousand dollars had been subseribial. Here
is thnseeret of the order being issued, and the
animosity of Stanton and company. Had the
plan proved a failure no order would have ever
been homed to prevent the circulation of the
subscription papers in the army. The failure
of the men to subscribe would have been just
the evidence the raJicals wanted against M'-
Clellan; but their taking hold of it with enthu
siasm roused the anger and petty jealousies of
Stanton and hie clique. In order, therefore, to
prevent the fact that the army still adhered to
their devotion to their former gallant com
mander being known, an order was issued to
prevent the subscription being taken, and the
money was refunded.
Most of the officers contributed liberally ;
others m..nifeeted their regrets that they were
so situated that they dated not take hold of
the matter and push it as they desired to,
fearing that it they did they would be aegraded
by the War Office at Wabhingtee. The treat
ment of Colonel Divis, of the staff of General
Meade. shows how well founded were their
suspicions.
Colonel Davis held a position on General
Meade's staff, with the rank of colonel. Being

FEARFUL SCENE AT WARSAW:
A correspondent of the London Post, writing
from Warsaw on the 20th ult., giyes a . vivid
sketch of the scene which followed the attempt
to assassinate the Russian General' Berg, by
flinging an Orsini bomb at him as he was
riding through the streets of Warsaw :
The missile was thrown in the narrowest
part of the street, between the house of Count
Andrew Zamoyski and the Saxon Palace.—
When the smoke cleared away General Berg
was found to be unhurt, in his carriage. Trust
worthy witnesses of the scene, who were at
their windows at the time, declare that it was
perfectly impossible either for them or Gene
ral Berg, blinded with the smoke, or for his
escort, to see whence the bomb fell. - The
police at the corner of the street were so
frightened that they concealed themselves, 80
that they could not have a suspicion of the
house where the author of the attempt was.—
It was a moment of suspense, fear and uncer
tainty. Meanwhile Berg, having arrived at
the Orderly Room, gave certain orders, whose
nature subsequent events disclosed, and after
wards, surrounded by a fresh convoy, rode
home. One thousand infantry and cavalry
now proceeded by a wide column from the
Orderly Room in the direction of the spot
where the attempt had been made. On the
road they arrested, in the most brutal manner,
every person they met, driving all before them
with their bayonets.
They then entered both the houses of Count
Zamoyski, one of which is strictly a private
house, occupied by his family exclusively,
and the other, perhaps the most magnificent
house in Warsaw, fitted up in a most luxurious
style, and occupied by nearly one hundred
opulent and highly respectable families. That
the bomb _should have been thrown from one
of those houses was most improbable, and I
have already pointed out that it was im
possible to know which was the house whence
it was thrown. What were the scenes that
were enacted in these, perhaps the most res
pectable houses in Warsaw, between five in
the afternoon and twelve at night, Ciod only
knows. The crowd outside saw the windows
all smashed, and the furniture, books, pic
tures, mirrors, pianos, dresses and cupboards
thrown out into the streets ; and they heard in
the midst of the savage soldiery the noise of
the breaking of furniture, and the despairing
cries and groans of women. After seven hours
of destruction, the soldiery dragged the male
inhabitants, upward of two hundred in num
ber, covered with wounds and contusions, to
the citadel. These poor people were without
hats or coats, and their clothes were nearly
torn off their backs. Among them were several
old men, whose weary and despairing looks
moved the bystanders to tear&
In Miodowa street, where there is a church,
these unfortunate people knelt down to say a
silent prayer ; but the soldiery rushed upon
them with their bayonets, tore them from their
kneeling position, and forced them to march
0n...t Meanwhile the *omen and children, thus .
deprived of their natural protectors, were ex
posed to the insults and obscene jokes of the
drunken soldiery, without a home—even with
out warm clothing against the cold. About
11 o'clock p. m., a short time before the men
were taken to the citadel, a lurid light was
seen in the :sky above the spot where these
scenes occurred. It was thought that this
ii6ll6t be a fire, caused either by accident or
despair. .The ire brigades immediately col
lected from all parts of the town, but the sol
diers who were posted in the street would not
allow them to enter it, and even threw furni
ture into the flames as fuel. The fire lasted
all night, and this morning three heaps of
ashes are all that remain of the residence and
homes of nearly 100 families. Among the vic
tims I will only mention Prince Thaddeus Lu
bomirski and Count Stanislans Zamoyski,
(brother of Count Andrew.) The resideneee
of both have been razed to the ground, and.
both are now in prison.
This well-known Oriental scholar Rowalew
ski rector of the University, owed his personal
safety to the accident of his absence from
home, but of his furniture, his rooms, and his
magnificent Oriental library—the fruit of some
30 years' collection—nothing remains. The
very valuable library of Prince Thaddeus Lu
bomirski, who has for sometime been occupied
in writing a history of Poland, has been com
pletely destroyed in the fire. As for other ar
ticles, which in the eyes of the barbarian sol
diery, were of more value—such as furs,
dresses, gilt furniture, &o.—they were taken
to the citadel, there is no doubt, to be divided
among those who showed the most zeal in the
work of destruction. The immense stores of
the wine-merchant Krupeoki have been com
pletely destroyed.
It is a great mistake to suppose merit has no
reward because it may seem to be unrecognized.
Even in this world the good, for the most part,
fare better than the bad. "I never knew,"
said Sam Johnson, "a villain that wasn't an un
happy fellow." And who ever knew a good
man who was altogether wretched ? It is true,
indeed, that the best are subject to poverty and
detraction ;to sickness and bereavement. The
noblest, of heroes may, for a time, be regarded
with indifference or contempt; but the case is
by no means so bad as it seems. There is more
justice in the world than the grumblers allow.
Hear how Coleridge has rimmed up the whole
matter :
'•How foldout, friend, a. good great man inherits
Honor and wealth, with all his worth of .pirits,
When any mau obtains teat which ha merits,
Or any merits that which he o4.alna.ii

Or hasps or cones which his sword hie chic ;
Goodness and greatness are not wane, but Cada.

And three feet trends, more dare than day or alght-:-
