Those depart ments of the Government aro confined to particular luginlati ve and execute Julius, aud cannot touch or determine the rela tions of the State with each oth'-r. That field of point is sacred to (lit great or ganizod oonirnuniti's by whom the Union wis formed and by whom alono it on be bubjectt-d to modification or fbange. We bavo fought to roitore tbo Union, not to cbango, it, much It-an to subvert its funda mental principle), and the accomplishment of its resterniion is tlio eompen-ation we pr po.o to oursi-lvcs for all tbo coil and aorificci of the struggle. Hut what in impossible to the President or to Congress it U competent for the Stale, in their Hovercign oap.icity, by free mutuul eoiit-cni, at the proper time, to per form. The American Statos required a compact ot union to go through the war of the dev olution , und it was matlo. Subsequently I bey required an amended compact, creat ing a more intimate union, to fecure to thorn tbo fruita of independence. From their deliberations on tbo latter occasion tberc resulted that most udmirablo instru- meiit, tho Constitution of tho United States, uudcr whioh tho Republic has ex isted and prospered for more than seventy years. And now, under our experience of revolt and war and mi6governmeut, we may conclude that additional securities for liberty and Union should bo establish ed in tho fundamental law. But these ee ouritics must consist of limitations rather than of extentions of Federal authority, and must not invade those fields of power which wcro left sacred to Stato jurisdiction them. How much opposed those views in the original scbomo of Uuion. ! aro to the policy of tho Administration The Constitution should provide against will appear upon tho moet cursory exam ine uncontrolled domination of sectional inatiun. They point to the determination parties, South or North, in tbo Government and cttlcment of disputes upon a jun and of th IJuilnd Staf s, as tho most indispen-' reasonable basis, and to tho security of al-lr and vital regulation posib!o for our the country against the reourrt-noe of war s.fety a...i continued exUoncp as a Re- hereafter while the policy of tho Admin tuiblio We refer upon tin-' point to our ... . . -in e remarks at the beginning of the present Nation potcts to a simple alternaitve be addresses txhibiiing the grounds upon twot-a the subjugation and indeyendonou which thin inort Imfwrtintpropoirttton may of the South, If wh suooeed in tketrar, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PENN'A,, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1864. tnnd, and as illustrating its utility and! necessity beyond all cavil or question. An 1 adoquato, real, and officiant ohock in Gov ernment, cecuring a balance of power be tween political interests, i unquestionably tbo highest and moet important point in constitutional -ciouoa j aud it is most evi dent that becaueo our system has been found defective in thia paiticular, wo aro now involved in war and soourged by mis-' government in its raost intolerable, odious' It! rl InwUc. rM.M. 'Pl. I l 1 I iuiuii, i iio uiiccks itireauy provided iu mr Constitution and which have been so salutary in tboir action and influcneo upon the Government, must bo supplemented hy somo proper provision whioh shall more perlcclly parform the of- nee and function for which they wero de-' signed. For it is now proved amid the' blood and tears of this nation, that all bal- anco iu our Government may ho lost and all its checks be found insullicient to curb tbo insolence and guilt of faction and se cure obedience to those fundamental prin ciples of liberty, law, and right, which wcro established by our fathers. We aro at war. and blood flows, and woa'ltb is was ted, and fauatioism runs riot, and tbo Con stitution is broken, and wc aro bowed down by bitter grief and surrow iu all our homes, because a sectional faction rulos the Gov eminent of the United States, freo from rcstraiut, or curb, or limitation of its j ow crs. And it should be made impossible that this condition of things can exist, af ter we have once extricated ourselves from the grasp of calamity. There should nl.-o bo a judicious limita tion upon the distribution of Federal pat ronage. The prodigious growth and pres ent tixtent of that patronage in official ap pointments, constitutes a fertile sourca of corruption and danger. Nearly tbo whole mast of Federal appointments are poised every four yoars upou a presidential elec tion, intensifying and debasing the strug gle for power, and sowing the seeds of cor ruption broadcast throughout the laud. Purity, economy and justice in govern nctit become almo-t impossible under this system, nnd their restoration and mainte nance demand its amendment. A change y which ihe great body of public offiaers " ' uld hold for fixed terms, and be ri-mov idle only for lawful cause, would be one of rreat merit and wisdom, and is among the most desirable objects to bo sought in our public policy. AUNESTT. Another proposition pertaining to re construction is, that as to individuals there fhall be amnesty except for particular of fences. All tbo exce?s of a state of war cannot be vieitcd with judicial punishment. Roth necessity and policy rt-quiro tbit, at the conclusion of such a t-trugglo, tbo man tic of oblivion shall cover the past. A nation torn by civil war demands repose at its conclusion, that society may bo re or ganized aud that tbo passions and dem r alization produced by war may disappear before the renewed action of mural forces. Laws of confiscatiou and troaeou may Im politic and uecossary to provcut insurrec tion or to check il in tho outset, but they become inapplicable wbeu revolt has ri pened into publiu war, and ono entire peo ple aro orgauized arriust anoiher. Penal enactments wbeu directed against a whole population aro odious nnd u-clcas, and their trndenoy is to prolong and intensify war, aud to embarrass or provent its just coticlns-ion. Their offioo is to ohastipo in dividual offenders within Government ju risdiction, and not entire commnniiies con tendiug for independence or other public, object. Tbo laws of war necessarily and properly obtain between tho partios to a war peuding the contest, und displaca or supersede those of mun'oipal enactmont. Amnesty thereforo, within tho limit of pub lio safety, follows of ooureo the termination of such a contest as that in whioh we aro ; now engaged, It may bo added that clear justice re quires that Unionists who bavo lied from tbo revolted country ehould be restored to their estates, and that tho particular wrongs inflicted upon thtm sheuld as far as possi ble be redressed. A CONTRA8T. Wc have thus taken notioe of several questions connected with the subject of Re construction and indicated our views upon wc bavo a conquered country to bold nnd govern as wo best may ; and if wo fail iu the war, a rival and hostile power will bo established besido us. Tbo Administration has no instrument for national redemption except physical force, (which it has shown it-elf hitherto inoimpi-tcut to wield,) and whether it succeed or fail, tbo future is en compassed with dangers. Represanting radical and violent elements of population among us, its party inlorcsls require of it an uncompromising nnd bostilo attituda not only towards tbo confederate govern ment but to tho whole Southern jcoplo. In fact, tho President virtually nnn&uucos to us in bis bogus State proslamation, that ho cun trust no men in tho South excopt un der most stringent oaths of approval of bis policy and within the direct military influ ence of tho army. Undrr the present ad ministration, thereforo, aoh party to the war strives for a clean victory or an utter defeat, and no agreement bctweon them except ono of disunion is proposed or is possible We submit to our countrymen that this statement of fact pronouuees the condemnation of tho Adtniniitralion and establishes solidly the argument for its re" moral from power, and tbi',too, independ ent of tno other considerations which we have presented. Impotent in war, incupa blo of securing a just aud spscdy peace, competent only to waste tho blood and re sources of the people, it stands as fully condemned iu its policy against tho enemy as it docs in its measures of internal ad ministration. And we aro justified in con cluding upon tbo whole case, that if the Union is to be restored, liberty preserved, and prosperity renewed in this country) thoso results must follow tho defeat and re jection of the Administration by tho Amer ican people The defeat or .Wit.

Assuredly, too, thoso honied pro fessions of regard for tho soldier and his alleged right to vote, that rangjin our ears until they becamo familiar household words, should to-day restrain all attempts to limit bis asserted prerogatives. But uo, to-day the Pennsylvania soldier is inoapa ble of selecting his own officers 1 True, it is alleged that a compromise of the diver sity of opinion with regard to the election of the officers provided for in this bill ha obtained. True, tlia1 tb majority ha ve moat reluctantly couieuled that the line officors of tbo militia shall be elected by men. Rut who that ia conversant with tho na ture of military organization will deny that wbilo the field office) s are appointed by tho Cominandor-in Chief, who at tbo snrao timo is tho executive of tho State, oleotod by a partisan and lustful majority, tbo dif fusion of political influcnoo bocomos an easy performance, nnd tho undue extension of power an alarming probability 1 Who then is prepared to palliato tho extension of civil power by tlio bayonet, the sup pression of civil rights by a war order, or to consent that military as well ns oivil power, properly emanating from the po pie should rise superior to their control, mock at their fears, and set their wishes at nought I Tbo world is full of examples, distress ing and monitory, of popular apathy, and submission to tho lust of power, when ca lamity had blunted treason. And next to him who as a fool in bpite of bit own ex perience, is that man who fails to profit by the cxporiencs of others. Nor in tho appoint-ncnt of tho most in fluential portion of tho officers of the State Guards alono, is this bill exception able. Even the examining surgeons of the different countioB aro to be pliant instru uionls of the executive. Rheumatism must now subscribo to party foalties, neuralgia must affirm the Baltimore platform, and hornia become the general somplaint of loyalists. Tbon toi tbo arbitrary Beizurca, which by this bill tho Governor is empowered to make,at bis disoretion,an alarming stretch I of power, which no charity can palliate.no alleged necessity justify. For mark, this power is absolute, restricted by no ciscutn stances, its operation limited by no cxi gencics ! II ho may scizo when the enemy is threatening our border, or devastating our valleys, bo may seize to-day ,anywhoro within our Slate lines, and with how little promise of compensation or redroBs attest the Republican mnjorily. It is true that horses are only to be seized by certificate, but how about supplies, how about the great arteries of our travel 1 Is this no cessit) of seizure to be alleged at any time, within the direction of the executivo ! Can power desire any more licentious author ity I Then, too, tho discretionary powors in vested in the Governor to determine from which 00UDtic8 tLU extraordinary forco is to emanate may well occasion a salutary alarm.

" sue-iue-ui- ally adverted to, it fails to provide sgain.t tho drafting of the reservo foroe by tho Federals authoritles,thus,as we beliovo.ren- de-ring tbo project abortive, or in any event .i i u-r. r ii i ii j presenting the probability of an ill-dnlled- inefficient organization resulting after largo expenditure This certainly is a cardinal objeotion ) and induoos another, ;bt al- i war are now entirely changed.

Tho majority of this body has most emphatically refused to inoorpo rato into a cpecifio provision,dcolariog that this force shall not be removed from out limits, and merged with tho national forces on somo imaginary defonsive lino of the State. Nor can wo definitely determino i that the appropriation.cxtraordinary a it. is, Tfill be adequate to maintain this force j for duty.
