' What They Have in View.
. It will be remembered that, after the col
lapse of the Rebellion, Presiden t Johnson.
while the Rebel States were under Provis
ional Governments, required those States to
ratify the Amendment abolishing Slavery,
to repudiate the rebel debt, to annul ordin
ances of secession,, and frame new, State
institutions. With the eiceDtion of Ten
nessee, we believe none of the State Con
Btitutions were submitted to a vote of the
the people for ratification. " It was believed
by some of our . far-seeing: statesmen that,
at 6ome future ; time, when it became their
interest to $6 so,' those States "would take
the ground that thee measures hacl been
forced upon them', that their adoption was
compulsary "an act of usurpation' and
hence that they were ' not bouud by them.'
The key-note of such a movement has al
ready been struck in , .North Carolina, by
Chief Justice Kuffin, who prolably fore
shadows what will be the course of every
Rebel State as soon as they can act for them
selves on the questions involved in their
restoration to the Un ion. Judse Ruffi n savs :
''I consider that this is no Constit.ntinnj
because your convention was not a legitimate
convention, and had no power to make a
constitution for us, or to alter that which we
Bad and have ; and that it cannot be made
a Constitution, even by popular sanction.
If itese positions be correct, it ought to be
rejected i7 the people, as the easiest, sim
plest and most', efficient method of setting
the Doint at test, and avoiding: many per
plexing and dangerous questions before the I
judiciary. . I object to the organization or
your may as a conveution, because it wa3
called without the consent of the people of
North Carolina, by the President of the li
nked States, or under his orders ; aii act of
clear and despotic usurpation, ichich could
not give tins body any authority to bind tie
State or its iihabitants. . If it be said the
President, or his satrap his Governor of a
Jrrovince did not call, or rather constitute
the convention, but the delegates were elect
ed by the people', and thereby the boiy was
auiy coubtiiuica, x aeny u airccuy ana pos
itively! ..The delegates were not the choice
of the people; for. in the proclamation call
ing it, the qualifications or the persons who
mignt pe eugioie ana inose or me persous
wno mignt voce ior tnem are strictly pre
sented in a manner variant from our fun
damental law, and excluding from each class
a targe portion some would say the best
portions or our qualified citizens. In ma
ny cases our people were not represented,
but.' in fact, were misrepresented. The acts
of such a body cannot be said to be those of
the people or tre State. .They are not enti
tled to obedience, and cannot be, or,at leant.
ought not to be, judicially recoqnized. The
whole proceed 'in q arose out of arbitrary as
sumption, overthrowing all notions of popu
lar government, and destructive of the very
Jirst principles of Republican freedom.
Mr. Johnson required a convention to
perform certain specific acts ; to annul the
ordinance of secession . and tender a return
to the Union, orclaim itscontinual existence
under the Constitution of the United States ;
to emancipate the slaves and ordain that sla
very shall never hereafter exist in thi3 State,
and to repudiate the State 'war debt ' All
these were done ; the two first promptly, and
in satisfactory terms ; and the third, at the
last moment, under subject ion and in confor
mity to orders, after having once refused to
adopt tlie measure. All was done, I say,
that was required, and' Mr. Johnson pro
claimed that he had got all he wanted ; that
we were back as a State and might choose
our representatives in Congress in conform
ity to our rights as a State,- and to our law
regulatiug elections, t Was there anything
more for that convention to do ? Were they ,
chosen for any other purpose, even by those
who were allowed to vote for members t
How dare they, then, go on to frame a con
stitution, a law for all time, whictr is to be
binding on those who elected them for other
ends, and also on that large portion of the
patriots and heroes 'unpardoned rebels'
who were not allowed to vote at all ? As
far as they safely can, and' whenever they
can, the people ought to resist that preten
sion. This they can peacefully do, when
called on and . allowed to vote ; and I trust
they will do so.on this occasion without com
motion, in support of the great principle of
human liberty that a people have tne rignt
to make their: own constitution, and not be
made subject to one; imposed on them, by
force or fraud, by any extraneous power or
by a fraction of their fellow citizens."
r:i The Doctors Puzzled. :' :
The Democrat are sorely puzzled. . They
do not know , upon what foundation their
platform rests. They have made the John
son plank movable to be shifted at pleasure
for they place no confidence in the friend
ship of their newly found friends. Men
who have deceived others in all probability
will again prove false' to those with whom
affiliate, inasmuch a it is difficult to restrain
treacherous instincts. -. The Democratic par
ty cannot with impunity spurn these men.
Their only hope for political supremacy is
in coalition- . Within themselves they are
powerless, and yet the price demanded for
this questionable aid certainly destroys, the
dream of success to their .own party.' In

Our Wigwam "politicians are felicitating
themselves extensively over the fact that the
xuassacnusetts delegation ana tne Soutn
Carolina delegation walked into the Conven
tion at its opening arm in arm. x.ven Mr,
Doolittle, with his usual profundity, thinks,
or says he does, that if that sight could only
nave been witnessed jby the people ot Mas
sachusetts, it would instantly have worked
a complete revolution in their political sen
timents. ' ' ' ' " " ' -
: ' Now, we must confess, it produces a very
pretty stage-enect to see these gentlemen
walk into the Convention in this loving and
amiable style, and it showed considerable
skill on the part of the managers to open
the performance! in bo moving a manner.
But we cannot help reminding our political
wire-puners ot the . W igwam that it is no
new thing to find a certain .class of Massa
chusetts politicians walking arm in arm with
those of South ( Carolina. It used to he
done at every Democratic Convention,' even
when South Carolina was imprisoning Mas
sachusetts seamen and mobbing her com
missioners sent to test the constitutionality
of South Carolina's laws. Heaven knows
we should be triad to see Massachusetts and
South Carolina in perfect accord, but it will
require f-ome thing more to accomplish it

man a lgwam promenade Detween a lot or
Massachusetts dtiughraces and feouth Caro
lina ex-Rebels. Massachusetts is not rep
resented in the Wigwam. Some men are
there who live within her , boundaries, but
the brain, the heart, the sentiment. the mor
al power of Massachusetts are not represen
ted there. Messrs. Urr and Couch may
perambulate up and down the Wigwam till
doomsday, and it will mean nothing except
a political by-play, unless the fundamental
ideas which form the structure of society in
their respective States can be brought into
living sympathy and accord. . . :
The great problem before our country for
solution is well typified by these two States,
and we wish that our Wigwam friends could
be brought to see that it can never be solved
by perambulatory performances, or spread
eagle . speeches, or convivial conferences.
The problem in our country is to do away
with the antagonism between aristocracy and
democracy, and to realize the true democrat
ic idea in the whole structure of our society.
Now look at Massachusetts and South Car
olina. - Massachusetts is a true Common
wealthi Its people stand on a perfect e
quality before the law. It is a State mod
eled after and fully realizing the true Amer
ican idea ot a State.-- South Carolina,' on
the other hand, is an oligarchy. " 1 he mi
nority rules instead of the majority. - The
masses of the people are disfranchised
Thev are subiect to taxation without renre
sentation. They are forced to obey laws
which they have no voice in making. . There
is no equality before the law. Her society
is composed o privileged classes and op
pressed classes. Her whole structure and
framework of government is vitally antago
nistic to the true American idea ot a btate.
Still more. South Carolina having just
been suppressed in a violent and long con
tinued attempt to overthrow the Lrovern
ment of the United States, iu which at
tempt she voluntarily seceded from the U-
nion ana aoanaonea ner relations to ner sis
ter States, now demands to be re-admitted,
uot upon terms of equality, but upon those
of superiority. JUIie aslcs that each of. her
voters may Itavc two and one-half times as
much power in all national affairs as a vo
ter in Massachusetts. She asks for five rep
resentatives in Congress, when her voters
only entitle her to two: In short, he de
mands that her . oligarchial lorm ot govern
ment shall give 'her voters two and a half
times the power in the nation that they are
fairly entitled to -wield. ';
Now does Mr. Doolittle suppose that an
tagonisms like these, going to the very foun
dations ot things,' can be reconciled by the
petty promenades of Messrs. Orr and Couch
on the floor of his Wigwam ? Is that the
extent of his political sagacity f Is that the
lesson he has learned from our past history?
The instinctive intelligence or the Amer
can people tells them that this antagonism
between democracy and aristocracy in ' our
country must cease. They have sacrificed
three hundred thousand lives to make it
cease. They are not . now, through politi
cal chicanery,to be defrauded of the just vic
tory they have won. The democratic re
publican idea triumphed on the battle field,
and it must triumph in the halls of legisla-
tion. Our Wigwam politicians, in the
name of peace and union and good-will,' are
in truth doing all they can to perpetuate
antagonism and discord. They would lay
up for our children, and ' perhaps for our-
selves, a repetition oi tne ternme struggle
through which we have .- just ; passed. So
intent are they on political power that they
would keep alive in the body politic ele
ment of strife and discord, which is as sure
to work out disaster and convulsion as any
physical cause is to produce its natural ct

f , Queen Emma. A
The New Yorkers have been having a
sensation, on a small scale, - over a visit of
hr most gracious and Pacific Mi,VfV
Queen Emma, spouse in his day, t King
Kamehameha Lililiho IV, deceased, whose
brother occupies the throne ot the Sandwich
Islands.' This King was gathered to his
dusky, fathers some three years ago. Queen
Emma has just been making a friendly and
sisterly call upon Queen Victoria, where she
was royally entertained, but her real mis--sion
to England proved a failure. She went
there to enlist the sympathies of the High -Churchmen
of England, in behalf of that'
Church in the Islands. 'Under the highest'
Episcopal and aristocratic patronage,she at
teuded meetings, public and private, in all
parts of England. "The Bishop of Oxf ord
has been a Pete, the Hermit, tor' rL-oL
and here, there and everywhere," says the
London Xonconjormist, .,has enlarged on
the claim of the Sandwich Islands to the
support of the High .Churchmen." The
whole amount collected for her is but o,
000, in addition to another 5.000 toward a

been away from her country, more than
year, her expenses must have consumed tbe
greater part or the contributions.
England has not done well for Twr mA
her inisMon.' She fell in with the vmnv
class of the English people. That is all and
we are sorry, says an English raPer, but Doc

The journals describe her as a han lsome,

of dark complexion, but not black, yet not
so light as a quadroon, but not black, but
more of the Spanish cast. Her cheek honna

nothing of the air of royalty." ;' ' '
The maiden name of this Queen Dowager
was Emma Rooke. Her father wa &

early life to Hawaii, where she grew up and
attracted theattention and finally secured
the love of Kauiehatneha, the royal repre

whom she was married, and thus raised to
be a Queen. .. . . "
- She has been a week in New York ' cityj."1
where she has been feted, admired, writ den

and Billy liowlegs to the Japanese Tommy
and the No-Kamis delegation. Whether
they will be more liberal in contributions to
the Church than was England, remains to
be seen. , New York is able and should give
her at least $20.000 if it likes the cause
for which Emma is laboring. ' " '
From New York she went to Washing-
