Where there to no Law there to no

The Union as It Was ,
he Constitution as It Is
CONISCIO PTION vs, VoLIINTEERILNG
The recent call of the President for
three hundred thousand volunteers, to
take the places of those whose terms of
enlistment will soon expire, is a virtual
confession that his radical mode of raising
soldiers by conscription, has proved a
failure. Having again appealed to the
patriotism of the people, to enable him
"to bring our needful military operations
to a prosperous end, thus closing forever
the fountains of sedition and civil war,"
we trust the response will be made with
spirit and alacrity.
But now that the President has taken
one step backward, by abandoning the
conscription—a measure, the utility of
which, it wee, a few days ago, downwrigbt
treason to question—why can he not, also,
abandon those other radical enactments,
which caused a conscription necessary ?
As long as the President kept the extreme
Abolitionists at arms length, he did not
need ce!,inteers; but when he ;permitted
them to divert the war for the Union,
into an experiment for wholesale emanci—
pation, volunteering ceased. Will volun
teering be rapid enough as long as the
obnoxicin edicts of confiscation and
emancipation are in force? is a question
of doubtful solution. If the President
would have volunteers, instead of con
conscripts, let him recall hie "bulls against
the comet," and in the name of the Union
and the Constitution, and nothing elge,
appeal to the patriotism of the people.
They, unlike our Abolition fanatics, re
quire no special conditions when the
Union is imperiled ; but notwith
standing, they will swarm, if not like
Gov. ANDREWS . imaginary milli on 5,
in sufficient numbars, at least, to speed , ly
crush the rebellion. If the President will
but come back to the starting point of the
war, when the restoration of the integrity
of our Union was the consummation sigh•
ed for, the Democracy of the North are
prepared to lend him as great a support es
they did in the spring, when hostilties be
gan. Raving abandoned one of the most
obnoxious measures of the radical pro
gramme, ghee us hope of his discarding
the others. And why, if he desires the
speedy termination of hostilities, should
he not abandon those radical enactments
which have given such offense to the De
mocratie party? He desires the support
of all ; at least he needs it ; why then per
eist in conducting a war, f . sr the life of the
• nation, upon principles which he himself
denounced as dangerous ; thus partially
alienating the feelings of a great party,
which is eager to sustain him in his efforts
to close hostilities. As long as the war
was one avowedly for the Union, there was
no division among our people ; the ex
treme measures, alluded to, destroyed this
unanimity, and were the cause of that dis
content which resulted in arbitrary arrests,
the suspension of habeas corpus, the sup
pression of the press, will the need for the
thousands of pimps and spies now scatter
ed about throughout the country. Divert
iug the war from its original purpose,
entailed this train of evils ; the sooner the
Administration returns to its original Pur
pose, the sooner will the rebellion be put
down, and the sooner will we become a
united and contented people. Bat if the
radicals hold the President to their infa
mous exactions, volunteering will not be
as prosperqus as it ought. In that case we
hope to see such fussy, windy, and blood
thirsty Abolitionists, as those who control
the Abolition press of this city, throwing
their banners to the breeze, inviting all
Abolitionists, anxious for negro emancipa
tion, to rally and volunteer. Until the
President revokes his obnoxious enact
ments, it wc nid be unsafe to permit Penn
sylvania " copperheads and sympathis
ers with treason to enter the service in any
capacity. If. there? ?re, the Abolitionists
insist upon their programme, let him insist
upon their furnishing the three hundred
thousand volunteers called for.,
PITTSBURG FI FEMALE VOLLEGE,
The impotent efforts of a fevi over tea
one partizans, to disturb the admirable or
der of that splendidly conducted institution,
the Pittsburgh Female College, by introdu
cing political rancor into its counsels, is to
be regretted by every friend of education in
this country. The. Rev. PERSHING, the
accomplished and indefatigable President
of the college, against whom this disgrace
ful crusade is f'onducted, we have :Inver
known as a meddler is politics, He
has devoted all his energies (and suc
cessfully, too) to the building up of
his college, and he has been emi
nently successful. Should the leading
gentlemen, who are most interested in
/ 4 its continued usefulness permit small pol
itics and politicians to invade its portals
they ne , ky regret it not only on their
children's account, but because of the re
spectable denomination of Christians to
whom it owes its existence.
ILII►DINO FOR A VOTE
The editor of the Commercial, who
moat be a member elect of the Legislature,
wants to get a chance to vote for Mr.
Moons for State Treasurer if he will con
sent. Will Mr. MOORE drop him a note
enclosing his love ? Tho editor has al
ready parcelled out the clerkships in the
Treasury office, and gloats over tue dis-
tributivn of the proceeda of Lhe office
..:0-11ASE AND VALLALNDiGusm.
It is worthy of remark that more men
have voted to make Mr. VALIANDIGRAM
Governor than ever east their suffrages to
put Mr. ilusa in that office, The first
time CHASE was elected, eight years ago,
he had 140,000 votes. The second time
he was chosen was in 1867, he had 180,.
000 votes. VALLLNDIGHAM now has at

THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC AND
THE LATE ELECTION,
Phi'a x Press r.
the, late eIH: , ion remarks :
"Thsse elecLions have per:laps shcrtcned the
war by I ears; they have saved tothe nation liv
ers of blood, and mil Tone upon millions of trea
sure. Not only hive they saved the GO,ernment
from dratrttotion at the hands of SoutherVrebe's
but in all probabi ity they have saved it f , om
anyforeign interference, which must certainly
have followed the triumph of the pesee fccti'n
at the polls. 'lhey have ahem,: no how the war
to be ended; how not merely a peace,bat a p:r
manent and Eecure Deane, may bo attained—a
peace that will leave the lint n brighter in it,
regeneration, -
"We have confidence that such a peace must
speedily follow now. It is a mistake to suppose
that the ballot is powerless in the work of crush
ing the rebellion. We may gain material vie
tories Lver the rebel armies. We may drive them
back from position to position; we may occupy
the Southern territory. and destroy the military
power and resources of the Southern Statcs, But
these material victories are not to be wholly re
lied upon in the work of restmation."
If Abolition victories at the polls are
more effective in putting down the rebel
lion than victories in the field we ought
assuredly to expect peace very soon.
Accordingto the flgares of our opponents
they have swept everything before them,
from California to Maine. But when an
Abolition victory in Pennsylvania—partly
occasioned by soldiers furloughed—is im
mediately followed by a rapid retreat of
oar army in Virginia, we do exactly see
how such victories are likely to save the
rivers of blood alluded to. But the
brazen impudence of the statement in
question is so transparent as to reflect it
self. The World, however, takes the
trouble to pick it in this effective man
ner : "The supplies for carrying on the
war were voted by the last Congress, be.
fore it adjourned, for two years ; the
members of the next Congress had already
been chosen before the late elections.
The administration bad, therefore, all the
command over the resources of the coun
try in men and money. for the ensuing
three years, which it was possible to ob
tain through elections. It is mere dis
honest drivelling to assert that elections
in which no members of Congrees were
chosen can have any decisivo it.finence on
the prosecution of the war. The admin
istration do not lack either men or money ;
what they do lack are skill, vigor and hon
esty to make proper use of tho abundant
means Congress has given them. They
are utterly without excuse for periling the,
national armies and the national cause to
prosecute party objects .61 serve the ends
of political ambition."
TaE PROBABLE RESULT
Below we give the result. of the election
for Governor in Pennsylvania as near as
we can with the returns before us. In a
day or two we shall be able to give the
official vote. Those counties marked thus

The Gazette says: "WE have beaten
the allies of the rebels at the ballot box ;
now let US beat the rebels in the tield."
We are perfectly willing to let US volun•
teer and be drafted to fill up a wasting
army, but will they do it? The 245,000
Democrats, now denounced as allies of
the South and traitors to the North would
not make good soldiers, they certainly

Before the Election,
The Washington Chronicle said—and ita
statement was corroborated by the N. y,
Times—that •
'The friends of CURTIN and the Union who
have lcf, this city and vicinity during the past
week or two, for the purpose of voting the Union
ticket, number over nins thousand exclusive of
soldiers,'
After the Election
The statementthat any soldiers were sent home
from the Army of the Potomac to vote for era
ri.l4, a pronounced fake by one who is in a posi
tion to know. Not a man was taken from Gen
ME/DE for this purpose.
rZY — Mr. CHASE in his speech at Commu
bus eaid :
"If we had been defeated, it would have been
almost impossible for mo to have kept the finances
straight,"
It is a good commentary on the above
that gold immediately rose upon the news
of the Ohio election, and the Government
securities declined. A democratic victory
would have improved Mr. CHASE' B finan
ces from the fact that it would look as if
the prodigious debt we are creating might
be stopped by a cessation of hostilities
and the shortening of the war. Anything
that tends towards an indefinite prosecu
tion of the war on its present basis, in
creases the difficulties ca our finances.
Hence the Republican victories render our
finances worse.
THE death of Robert Babcock, of Wards
boro,' Vt., at the advanced age of 104
years and six months, took place, re
cently. Mr. Babcock was one of the forty
picked men who, under the gallant Bar
ton, captured the British General Sir
liam Prescott, on Rhode Island, on the
night of July 10, 1777, and thus obtained
an officer of saitabie rank to exchange for
Gen. Lee, who had been captured by the
British.
Tar Brooklyn (N. Y.) democratic city
- convention had' nominated Benjamin
Prince for mayor, and Thomas H. Ainr
pby for street commissioner.

J. 13ARg ehster once said:
"When Us- mariner hu. been tossed for many

turally avails himself of the first Pause in the
storm, the e artiest Cameo of Abe sun, to take his
latitude sic' rta o how far the oleo:matt have
driven him from his true conrss."
The Democratic party would do well to
take the drat pause in the storm and rtsocr
lain where it has drifted, and realise the
effects of the recant election. The issue
was distinctly made by the Abolition par
ty, and no protestations, no appeals could
shake the purpose of those who hold the
sword and the purse, to change it, it was
loyalty vs. disloyalty. From the Presi
de=„l to the most humble citizen, through
State Central Committees, authoriz-:d
speakers and wt it ers, with one voice pro
claimed Every man disloyal to his country
who voted the Democratic ticket, on this
they won, by ballots not votes, and 245,-
000 Democrats in Pennsylvania stand to
day convicted of disloyalty—the verdict is
as binding at least with that party, as is
the election of Curtin.
Suppose the . Democratic party accepts the
one with the other. Where will it stand,
and what does it propose to do? Are its
members any longer entitled to the protec
tion of Government? Are they any better
than rebels? And is it not possible they
are to be treated in the same manner ? If
we are to believe the Abolition press, even
after the election, we are the allies of the
South, outlawed, and fit only to be hunted
down as wild beasts. One half the popu
tattoo of Pennsylvania traitors ! If this
I be accepted, we were treated exactly right
lat the recent election. The Administra
tion done well to step in and carry it by
'all the appliances so boastingly used. Bri•
bery, corruption, fraud, intimidation, lose
their meaning, and are elevated into vir
tues, if it be true that we are and have
been false to the constitution, and disloyal
to the country
Since we were not and are not now trot

the quarter of a million of Democrats it
this State? We cannot have any further
hope in the ballot box : that has pas

the collected will of the people, will but

IrSURPATIC;Ig
alrkliellm re ..... Ilebittem in the Notion
al Coos - e z.. lon 1 1757 upon the
Danger of Usurpation.
The men who framed the Constitution
were men of large experience. They lied
lived under the rale 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 oppression of those
in power. Their great object was to es•
tablish a government based upon the will
of the people, with such written pro
visions and guarantees as would forever
secure the people against the arbitrary
power of the men who should represent
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 rea
son, to provide not only against encroach
ments on the liberties of the people, by
the unwise and bad men, but against any
undue exercise of power by worthy mag
istrates, under the influence of the T as
simile and excitements generated by an
inflamed state of the public mind, in
times of great dissensions. Experience
had taught them the fallibility of the best
and wisest of men. They knew that the
tendency of unrestricted power is to
strengthen itself, and that the onlv safety,
in the contingencies of the future, would
be found in prescribing and limiting the
powers cf those who should administer
the government.
Their words are full of warning and in
struction, and afford a terrible rebuke to
those who, in the time of public ex
citement and danger, would break over
the limits which the fathers set to the ex
ercise of power, and would confidingly
entrust all the liberties of the people
to the keeping of a partizan administra
tion. _
. ..
The following extracts are from discus
sions
upon various sections of the Con
stitution, and their application can be TIM
deretood, without stating the different sub
jects of debate
Mr. 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 am.
biticus with the means of making crew
tures, and as the object of his ambition
would be to prolong his power, it is pos—
sible that in case of war he would avail
himself of the emergency to evade or re—
fuse a degradation from his place.
Mr. Madison—A people deliberating in
a temperate movement, and with the ex
perience of other nations before them, on
the plan of a government most likely to
secure their happiness, would first be
aware that those charged with the public
happiness might betray their trust.. Au
obvious precaution against this danger
would be, to divide the trust between dif
ferent bodies of men, who might watch
and check each other.
Col, Mason was for giving all possible
weight to the revisionary institution. The
executive power ought to be well secured
against legislative usnrpation on it. The
purse and the sword ought never to get
into the same hands, whether legislative
or executive.
Mr. Randolph—No mischief can be
apprehended, as the concurrence of the 1
other branch, and in some measure of the 1
executive, will in all cases be necessary.. I
A firmness and independence wayffie;more
necessary, also, in this branch, as it ought
to guard the Constitution against en
croachmects of the executive, who will
be apt to torn' combinations with the
demagogues of the popular branch.
Dr. I.ranklin said : We seemed too
much to feat cabals, in appointments by
, number. and to have too much in those
of single persons. Experience showed
that caprice, the intrigues of favorites and
mistresses, were nevertheless the means
nat,st prevalent in anarchies. Among in
stances of abuse in such modes of ap
pointment, be mentioned the many bad
governors appointed in Great Britain f, r
the colonies. He thought a Council
would not only be a check on a had Pre
dent, but a relief to a good one.
Mr. Sherman—ln making laws, regard
should be made 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.
Mr. Sherman—He admitted it to be
proper that many officers in the executive
department should be so appointed ; but
contended that many ought not, as gen
eral officers in the army, in the time of
i peace, &c. Herein lay the corruption in
Great Britain. If the executive can model
the army, he may set up an absolute gov
ernment ; taking advantage of the close
of the war, and an army, commanded by
his creatures. James 11. was not obeyed
by his officers because they had been ap
pointed by his predecessors, not by him
self.
Mr. Butler was strenuous for die motion
WI a necessary security against ambitious
and corrupt Presidents. He mentioned
tli," late perfidious policy of the Stad
(holder in Holland and the artifices of the
Duke of Marlborough to prolong the war
of which he had the management.
Mr. Vi noon—Despotism comes on man
kind in different shapes, sometimes in an
executive, sometimes in a military one.
Is there no danger of a legistative despot
ism ? Theory and practice both proclaim
it. If the legislative authority is not re
strained there can be neither liberty nor
stability ; and it can only be restrained by
dividing it within itself, into distinct 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.
Mr. Gouverneur Morris—The Legialn
tare will continually seek to aggrandize
and perpetuate themselves ; and will seize
those critical moments produced by war,
invasion, or convulsion, for that purpose.
Mr. Gouverneur Morris—ft is the most
difficult of all to rightly balance the Exec
utive. Make him too weak—the Legis
lature will usurp his power. Make him the
strong—he will usurp on the Legislature.
Mr. Randolph said the propriety of im
peachments was a favorite principle with
him. Guilt, wherever found, ought to be
punished. The Executive will have grimt
opportunities of abusing his power, par
ticularly in time of war, when the military
force, and in so ne respects the public
money, will be in his hands. Should no
regular punishment be provided, it will be
irregularly inflicted by tumults and insur
rections.
Mr. Gouverneur Morris—But make him
ineligible a second time - and prolong his
duration even to fifteen years—will he, by
any wonderful interposition of Providence
at that period, cease to be a man ? No ;
he will ho unwilling to quit hie exaltation ;
'the road to hie object through the Conati
tuition will be shut ; he will be in posses
sion of the sword ; a civil wa • will ensue,
and the commander of victorious army, ou
whichever side,. will be the despot of
America. This consideration renders him
particularly anxious that the Executive
should be properly constituted.
Mr. Madison—The truth is, that all men
having power ought to be distrusted, to a'
certain degree.
Mr. Davis—lf he be not impeachable
whilst in office, he will spare no efforts or
=teams 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 in
capacity, negligence or perfidy of the
Chief. Magistrate. The limitation. of his
period of service was not a suflicient se-

Mr. Madison—ln the case of the Exec

Mr. Gerry urged the necessity of im
peachments. A good magistrate will not
' fear them. A bad one ought to be kept
in fear of them. He hoped the maxim
would never he adopted here, that the
Chief Magistrate could never do wrong.
Mr. Ellsworth—The Executive will be
regarded by the people with a jealous eye.
Every power for augmenting unnecessarily
his influence will be disliked.
Mr. Madison—A standing military
force, with an overgrown Executive, will
not long be safe companions to liberty.
The means of defence against foreign dan•
ger have been always the instruments of
tyranny at home. Among the Romans
was a standing maxim, to excite a war
whenever a revolt was apprehended.
Throughout all Europe, the armies kept
up, under the pretext of defending, have
enslaved the people.
Mr. Gouveueur Morris—This country
must be united, if persuasion does not
unite it, the sword will. Ho begged this
consideration might have its due weight.
The scenes of horror attending civil com
motions cannot be described, and the con
clusion of them will be worse than the
term of their continuance. The strong

Mr. Pinckney was for a vigorous Exec
utive, but was afraid the executive powers
of the existing Congress might extend to
peace and war, &c. ; which would render
the Executive a monarchy of the worst
kind—to wit, an elective one.
Mr. Butler had been in favor of a single
Executive Magistrate, but could he have
entertained an idea that a complete nega
tive on the laws was to be given him, he
certainly should have acted very differ
ently. It had been observed that in all couu•
tries the Executive power is in a constant
course of increase. This was certainly
the case in Great Britain. Gentlemen
seemed to think that we had nothing to
apprehend from an abuse or the Execu
tive power. But why might not a Catil
ice ore Cromwell arise in this country, as
well as in others ?
Col. Hamilton was seriously of opinion
that the House of Representatives was on
o narrow a scale as to be really danger-
OM, and to warrant a jealousy in the peo
ple for their liberties. He remarked that
the connection between the President and
the Bensite would tend to perpetuate him,
by corrupt rice. It was the more nee
es.ary, on this account, that a numerous
representation in the other branch of the
Legislature should be established.
