It is to be regretted that distin guished counsel had not been engaged to o thrones with the entire services required of counsel, and it is ito be feared that his cause must sutler in its present singular posture. The question tit issue in the case of Gov. rim hiss never been judicially settled in this countty, and it fa ',Jives principles which lie at the foundation ef our Government; and few instances probably' exist *here slender and political excitement have done mare to cause the facts to be misunderstood by both friends and rms. The Journal of Commerce, a paper impartial upon many subjects, contains an attack upon Mr Dore, -Who is now shut up in prison arid cut of from all meenaarf reply, which is as revolting to the feelings of bononsbla men, es midnight assassination. The facts in the case of Mr Dori- are as follow= That prior to the attempt to establish a Constitution tinier which he was chosen Governor, the State of R holders lend had been without a Constitution, but bad admii- istered her laws under a charter greeted to some of first settlers in that State before the Revolution, ty Charles the Second, then King of Great BritainfAhnt under this charter none but the owners of real eaters could participate in the government, cast a balkd, Tit in the jury-box, or maintain an action in court--unleis a landholder endorsed his writ. Of course men Of tbe highest intellectual attainments and the lugestowneee , 'of personal property, were among the proscribed- For more than half a century the people of the State had petitioned the Legislature to extend these •Priettie es to all, bet in vain; no relaxation was made, and ev ery attempt to call a convention, through the - action lif , the Legislature, failed. The land holders constituted a little more than one-third part of the number of vo ters. The charter contained no provision pointing oat any mode to be adopted to call a convention to frame a constitution. How, then, was a State, withnut. a cod stitution, and without any mode being designated in the organic law, to form one? The Legislature had refused for fifty year. Had the people the powertLl- That. is thequestion. The whole question of atee ll i. in Gnv Doer's case turns upon this question. i If:4.ltey hod the power, then he was right, and rigillibilY tin Governor of the State; if they had not the right, noels their whole proceedings were void, and Goa Dori!" tarts were without authority. We willdien Prtataa Itti the consideration of this question. Cana State without any Constitittionand without wry mode being pointed nut in the organic law, or other wise, to commence the formation of one, form a Con stitution? and if she can, from what source must the movement proceed? To deny that a State had the right to Fenn ,a COR= stitution would hem deny that the people have aright . - to establish their own form of government. • We do not u nderstand that this 1 ight is denied to a State by any one. Indeed, since the Rhode Island difficulty, a Constitution has been fotmed in Mal State, by what is now termed the eAlgerine party;" ' and the Judges who tried Mr Derr, hold limit - ammo by virtue of that new Constitution. The call for Oaf Couventien which formed this last Constitution, - em anated from the Legislature. The call fur the Con vention which framed the first Constitution emanated from the people.. Under that call the people in each town in the State assembled and choose delegates to the Convention; and at the Convention IL Constitution was formed, which was submitted to the people; and in tort n meet lugs called for the purpose, that Constitd %ion was voted fur by ballot by the white male chi-tens of the State, over twenty-one years of age, and adopt ed by a largo majority of the; people of the whole Slate. Under this COII3III.ULIUII Me Dort- Watt chosen Governor, and other gentlemen members of the Leg islature. The Legislature assembled under this new Constitution, and duly authorized Guv Derr to take possession of the public property of the State, He proceeded to do this, and Louse force if necessary; and for this act Ile is now convicted, charged with High Treason. It appears by the published trial, that the Attorney General admitted that if this Constitution was the Constitution of the State, then Gus Dore was justified by it in doing all that was chargeti. : against him. We repeat, then, the whole case turns upon the question--coald the call for ace etneeemaens emanate from the people totziertkese circuntslaacest . Suppose the constitution of one of the States in the Uniten contained no provision by which it might be at tered, amended or abolished. and at new one formed. How could that State form a new constitution? ': The' Legislature, as such, have no power to do any act, or to pass any law, which is not within the power cone forced upon them by that very constitution. Of ceases„ they could get no power from the instrument whielt gave them none for that purpose. The Judges of the Supreme Corn t are clothed with power no furthereban the laws framed by the authority of the -constitution confers it upon them; but they have as much power to cull a convention under a constitution giving neither" the Executive, Legislative, or Judicial branch of gay.' ernment such power, as either of the other brenebeg but neither ]?ranch has the power in soch• case—if either has, which is it; or must two, or all deem coo-- cur in the act? Asking these questions shows that_ neither branch, nor all united, have the power.— Where does the power reside? In the people, who; are s overeign, and who in such it case have never ced ed away that power from themselves. They have not • seen tit to part with that power to either or all of the breeches of the government; all the power they did not • part with, in the formation of the constitution, remains. in themselves, to be parted with when they so decide.- We risk, then, how a new constitution, in such a State,. could be formed except by a convention of the people; and from what source the call for such a convention' could oricinateexceptwith those to whom the original' power had been reserved? If this be the position of a State, with a constitution iu which no mode-has been provided for amending it, why is not the same true of a State having no constitution of any kind 1 The people, then, have certainly never parted _with the sovereign power of calling a convention to frame aConstitution in such a manner as they may. egrets upon. The Legislature--that is, the individuals come. posing this hudy—as individuals, might as well calln convention to frame a Constitution as any °thee body of the people of that State, but had no more authority I than if they had nut been members of that bedj.e -1 Hut the Constitution derived its validity from a roma the majority of the people of the State. It seemed proper that such a call should have proceeded limn the Legislatuve; bet besides the fact that they bad rd. fused more than fifty years- to do the act, it was net netessery ; and it was necessary that it Amid Tea 'ceed from the people, or the great majority oleo people must remain forever disfranchised.- Will ihilb editor of the Journal of Commerce invest-the isabili. with his views open this reint4 - - 7 ' But +oppose Gnv.
