If this assumption of the hill lie correct their concurrence cannot lie .cons ilert-d as having been legally given, and the important taet is made to appear that the consent of three fourth* of the States—the requisite number—has not bee institutionally obtained to the rati fication of that amendment, thus leaving t'ie q le-tion of slavery where it stood be fore the amendment was officially declared I to have become a part of the Constitution. T: at the measures prnpos n d by this bill violate the Constitution in the particulars mentioned, and in many ways which I for bear to enumerate, is too clear to admit of th" least doubt. It only remains to con ' si 1.-r whether [ ' lf; inj the instru tn nt ought to be obi'ted for reasons which I will proceed to give as briefly as possi ble. In the first place, it i* the only sys tem of free government which we cannot hone to have as a ration; when it ceases to be the rule of our conduct tve miv, per il a >*•; t ike our choice between complete a; a;chv, a consolid ted despotism," and a t : il d:s- dution ot the Union ; but national liberty, regulated by law will have passed bevot.d our reach. It is the best frame of g verarneL't the world ever saw. No oth ei -or can he *o we!] adapted to the gen i habit*, or wants of the American pvb , c ilibining the sererigth of the great i a .ire with the unspeakable ble*sings of cal goveri.m-nts having a central power ; ' defend the general interests and recog nizing the authority of the States as the guardians of industrial rights. It is the' 5- r> sheet anchor of our safety abroad and our peace at home. It was ordained to "form a more perfect union, establish justice, in * ire J unestic tranquility, promote the gen eral welfare, provide for tin* common de fi-n • • rid -ee ,re the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our p >st- rity." These great end.-j have been attained heretofore j and will h • again hv faithful obedienee to | it; but they are certain to be lost if we tie.it with disiegard its sacred obligations. It was to punish the gross crime of defy ing the Constitution and to vindicate its supreme authority that we carried on a a bloody war of four gears' Juration.— Shall we now acknowledge tlia 1 we >acri- j ficed a million of lives and expended bill- i ions of treasure to enforce a constitution wliic' is not worthy of respect and preser- j ration ; thosf who advocated the right of secession alleged in their own justification that we* had no regard for law, and that their rights of property, life, and liberty would not be safe under the Constitution as administered by us. If we now verify their assertion we prove that they were in truth and in fact fighting for their liberty, ami, instead of branding their leaders with the di-honoring name of traitors against a righteous and legal government, we elevate them in history to the rank of self sacrifi cing patriots, c msecrate them to the admi ration of the world, and place litem by the side of Washington, Hampdi n, and Sidney. X>; let Us leave thetu to the infamy they deserve —punish tie m as they should be punished according to law, and take upon tin in-elves the share of the od nrn vvh h they *h ml 1 share alone It is apart of our hi-tor\ which can never be forgotten, that b >tli Houses of Congress in July, 1301 declared, in the form ofa solemn resolu tion, that the war was and should be car ried on for no purpose of subjugation, but solely to confess the Constitution and laws, and that when this was yielded by the par tics in rebellion the co itest should cease, with the constitutional rights of the States and of individuals unimpaired. This res olution was ad 'p'.ed and sent fqrtli to the world unanimously by the senate, and with only two dissenting voices in the House. — It was accepted l>y the fiieuds of the Un ion in the S rath a* well as in the Nort i as expressing hoaotly and truly the ob ject of the war. Oa the faith of it ma ny thousand* of persons in both sections gave their lives and their fortunes to the cause. To repudiate tt now by refusing to the State and to the individuals within them the right* which the Constitution and laws id" the L'yiou would secure to them a breach of our plighted honor f"i which I can imagine i o excuse, and to which I can not voluntarily bec< uio a party, The evils which spring from this unset tled .-tate of our government, will be ac knowledged by ali, Commercial intercourse is impeded, capital is in constant p ril, pub lie secuntii s fluctuate in value, peace itself is not secure, and the sense of moral and poiiticu luty is impaired. To avert these Cilaruiti s from the country it is impera tive.! v required, tliat we should immediately decii;-- J pun some course of administration which ca hi: steadfastly adhered to. I am thoroughly convinced that any settle ment or compromise o* plan of action which is inconsistent with the principles of the Constitution will not only be unavail ing, but u.iachievoua j that it wiil but mul tiply the pi-, sent evils -instead of remoVTng them. Tbe'Cotistitution, in its whole in tegrity a:. ! vgor, throughout the length Ahd LraaJth ot the laud is the best of all ''* rapronrsi'S. Ib sides, our dutv docs not in my judgment, leave us aythoice between ; that .ind any other. I believe that It con tains t!io remedy thatie so much needed, and if the co-ordinate brandies of the gov ■ emtneut would unite upon its provisions thev would be found broad enough and i strong enough to sustain in time of peace the nation which they bor-* safely through I the ordeal ofa protracted civil war. Among ftht* ntost-sncred guarantees of that in*tru- | i meut are those which declare that "Each ! ' State shall have at least one representative.*' i and that no State, without its consent shall he deprived of equal suffrage in the' Senate. t Kek i ioust* is made tim judge- af.ilie.elec j tion returns atid qualification of it own! I members, and may, with the concurrence | !of two-thiids, expel a member Thus, as ; I heretofore urged, in the admission of Sen- , i atois and Representatives from any and all 1 of the States there can be no just ground of j apprehension that persons w ho are d sloyal | will be clothed with the powers of legisla j tior. ; for th s coulJ not happen, w hen the ! Constitution and the law s are eufoiced by a : : vigi ml and faithful Congress. When a j 1 Senator or Repres ntative presents his cer- i i titieite of election he may at once bo ad- ; j milted or rcj cted ; or should there be any j .question of his eligibility his credentials j mav be referred for investigation to the ap- j propriate committee. If admitted to a seat it must b< upon evidence satisfactory to the House of which he thus becoru s a member that he possi sscs tlie requisite constitution al and legal qualifications. If refused ad mission as a member for a want of due al legiance to the government, and returned j to h s constituents, tin y arc a !moni*hed i that none but persons loyal to the United j States will be adowed a voice in the Ugis l lative councils of tne nation, and the politi cal power an l moral influence of Congress are thus effectively exeited in the interests of loyalty to the gorernm nt ami fidelity to the Union. And is it not fir better that! the work of restoration should he accom plished hy simple compliance with the plain requirements of the constitution than i iv a recourse to mcasu es which in effect de-trov the States and threaten the sub- i \er*ion of the general g vernmctit ? All , th it is line ssary to se:t e this simple but important question, without further agita- j tion or d' lay, is a willingness on the part j of all to sustain the Constitution and carry j its provisions into practical operation. If to-morrow either branch of Congress j would d* dare that upon Use presentation of their credentials mem'' rs constitutional ly eb'Ct*i| and loyal to the general gov ernment would be admitted to si uts in Congress, while all others would b ex- : eluded and their places remain vacant un til the selection by the people of loyal and qualified persons, and it at the same time assurance were given that this policy would be continued until all the Stairs were represented in Congress, it would 1 send a thrill of joy throughout the entire land a* indicating the inauguration ofa sys tem which must speedily bring tranquility to the public mind. While we are. legis lating upon subjects whe'a are of* great 1 importance to the whole people and which ' rn ;>r ;dl'- et ail part* of the country, not on [ Iv during the life of* the pr- sentgeneration hut for iges to come, we should iem< mber that ail men are entitled at least to a hear ing in the counties which deei ie upon the destinv of themselves and their children. At pr- sent ten States are denied represen tation, and when the Fore'gn Congress as seinlrtes, on the Ith day of the present i month, sixteen States will be without a voi -e in the llou*e ol Representatives.— This grave fact, with the important ques tion before us, should induce us to pause, in a course of legislation which, 'oosiug solely to the attainment of po.itical ends, fad* to consider the rights it transgresses, the law whieii it violates or tlie institutions which il imperils.

I ~~ 1 SURATT BEFORE THE COURT. —John II Surratt has been arraigned before the bar 1 of the Criminal Court of the District of 1 Columbia. The fact that he would be • brought before that tribunal so early was 2 not generally known, and the crowd in at tendance was not very large. The prison - cr was brought over from the jail and - placed at the bar by Marshall Brooding and his deputies. Ilis zouave uniform 7 had been removed, and the prisoner was c attired in a suit of black, VN lien brought - into court his hands weie manacled, but by | request of his council the court ordered them removed, and the indictment to be t read to liitn by the clerk of the cram. At t the cl<>se, Surratt entered the plea of not i guilty. 1 The clerk then asked,' ITow will you be h tried !" to which the response was made : I "By my countrymen!" when the officer a added; "May God send you a safe dciiv d ereuce." The handcuffs were then ic- II placed and the prisoner removed to the 3 jail. No excitement whatever was mani -11 felted during the time of Suratt's presence I in the comt room, Sanford Cubover, who i. was recently convicted in this court for peijury before tiie Military Committer ot e the IL'Use of Representatives was also present to await the sentence, the prisoners j side by side at the bar, _ No day has yet been fixtd fur Suratt's trial. 1 The Preldeut and Mr, Greeley. f -. Gen. Ilalpin, ef the New York Citizen, reports in that paper an interview with the President. Of jMr. Greeley and cabinet j changes, the report runneth thus : "Ol Mr. Greeley he spoke with warm re spect, eulogizing the sterling integrity of his character and his great talents, as more than a compensation for his occasional ec- Cvntrjyitjys of judgment; hut from inqui lies pushed in another quarter, your cor respondent believes there never has been any foundation for the report that Mr, j Greeley i&aiut entering the Cabinet as Postmaster General. Indeed, as to all ru mor- of Chang s," a long experience in I Washington has made the writer wholly ' incredulous; but that Mr. Seward may ve- , ry possibly contemplate retiring shortly I after next 4th of March, in whiclif case he wishes Chatles Francis Adams to be his successor, has reached me on authority more than commonly entitled to credit.'' Gen Ilalpin concludes by giving "a per sonal picture of Mr Johnson as be.appeaiß in the audience chamber" the concluding touches cf which are as follows: "I have seen Mr. Johnson very manv times and at all hours between mid-day and eleven o'clock at night; and have nev er vet seen in him the slightest alteration 1 of manner —the slightest indication that 1 his habits ever were, or ever could be any different from those which, when in the Senate, made him the acknowledged stan dard for decorum and propriety in that bod v. These things lam almost ashamed to find necessary to he said when writing ' of the President of tiie United Stafes; — | ,soh gh has party malice run, and so vio- I lent and vindictive have been the slanders wi ich have assailed this officer, that in ■some quarters tire effect of an explicit j statement may be made. "I believe An j drew Johnson to be as d vout and self-sac- ! i rificing a patriot as ever lived," said Chief ; Justice Chase not many months ago to the j writer. That was high testimony from a prejudiced source; and with that testimo ny this letter must close." YVIIY hot Try Holt ! Now that Cor over is convicted of per .jury, why should not Joe Holt, the head oi the so—call d Bureau of Military Justice, | be put upon trial ? Why not try and con- j vicL 'he mere tool and agent and let the I principal go free ? All that Conover did was to complv with the demands of Holt.

Andrew Golte, a German, very intemperate in his . habits, was found dead in his shop, his lips f cntiicly burned away, leaving a ghastly hole, his tongue burned to a crisp. Ilis ■ nose was also b..nitd, as if by fire coming out of his nostrils, and his clothes were burning when found.
