Among all the vnrietiea of hiiinnn gnrern

heat, nnd ia perhnpa that ultimate nnd glorioua
d.atlny to which all ayatema are tending. Aa
we aweep aaide the curtain nf the pnt, and
gate down that dim pathway whero nil nation
inoe (lie world begna hare alroggled into life
and fallen to decay, liberty aeem to hnve been

the wlldeat barbarian tin aniight, na he groped
In the gloom nnd dnikueaa nromid him. Ai d
yet, though a beneficent Deity baa placed auch
an object w ithin the legitimate range of human
ambition, it la nevertheless the highest of nil
earthly bleaainga, aud alike uncertain of attain
ment and tiifDcult to secure. Indeed, it mnnt
be longbt over many a rugged lengiic of pro
greaa, aud tho firat crude leaaun which open
the way to it final acquirement, arc conned hy
the rudu camp-fire of tho wuudc-ring enrage.
Civil liberty, though an uhjeot nf univerenl de
aire, moat be auited to Ihe condition of those
who pnaaea it, and ennaonnnt w ith their grade
uf advancement. That freedom which would
be a blciied bouu to a civilized and ChrUtiiin
nation, would wither in the einbriice of a de
graded and barburoii people. So certain aa
men advance from dnrkneaa unto light, an cer
tain will the elmckle of deapotiam lull away ;
and they muat Hill endure the galling chain,
who have not yet conquered Ilio brutal cle

through the iron lin.ru of Ilia cage upon the un

No people, no tuition, can ever poraera, uu
deralnnd, nr enjoy the blenainga of liberty, until
Ilio nrdioly paraiuna of a fol leu nnturo are
hound in liuka uf nilumant, and every thought
ml deed buwa liem-nlli the gulden rod of that
high divinity of the heart enlightened, lienaon.
To audi, and none other, will freedom come na
the umpiring of endeavor nnd discipline, nnd
remain the funtcrlug nurse uf a higher ndvunco
meiit, but it enn never be nchieveil by the
word, conquered by armi. e, nor bought with

THE ((OSTITITIIIXAL AMEMIMK.NT.
To the Member! of the Oregon Legislature
(Sentlemen I Conjirera has recently vuhinit
ted tn the serernl .Slates a proposition to amend
Ihe National Constitution, and your honorable
oody w ill, at this session, be called upon tn cast
the vnte of Oregon for or against t lint amend
ment. Feeling a deep interest in everything
that concerns our beloved land, I intend, there
fore, in tills, and perhaps in a succeeding pa
per, to offer for ynur conaideration a few
thoiighta which have occurred to me with ref
erence to the meosuro proposed. In presum
ing tlms to addresa you, I nm actuated by no
Hinliiiioui desire to dictate or advise, for I
inn profoundly sensible of my uwn inability to
discnsa this momentous question. I am impel
led In this step merely by my sincere love nf
couulry and deep anxiety on her account, hop
ing by the novelty of my course lo secure at
b ust a patient reading of the tuggeslions 1
hare tn ulfer upon thia subject. If, hy nuy
thing that I may any, I shall succeed in indue
ing any one candidly nnd honestly tu itivc-sii
gatil the merits of this question, I shall feel
that my labors have been abundantly reward
ed, whatever may be the ultim ite fate of Ihe
amendment.
In discussing this question, I will firt, accord
ing In my ability, examine Ihe proposition na a
whole, stating such objections ns will apply to
the entire amendment, and after huviug done
so, I will take the sections separately anil in
order, giving the particular objections that lie
against each of them. In thia argument it,
may be that I will, from want of spnee.in some
ineianae attendee clearness to brevity, leaving
nut important particular, hut I n il! not slight
my subject if I can help it, craving your in
dulgence lor my errors.
In deliberating upon this question, it will be
well for us to bear in mind, that, generally,
sound policy requires every nation to be ex
tremely e.iintiousjn changing its fundamental
law. ns History nnd renann concur in showing
that (reqaeiit variations engender in tho minds
ol tlio people that uncertainty wind) is the pa
rent ol intestine commotion and anarchy.

changes lii iiiir in their own nature pn judicial.
a people ought to be very circumspect In this
point, anil never lie inclined to maKe innova
lions without the must pressing reasons, or on
absolute necesdity, ' I y rants, even, nre sen-l
hie nl this, und, so fur na they can, consistent
ly with tin ir ambition projects, always carry
on their government according lo the estab
lished order of thing. Tho most oppressive
inoiiarclis of hiiRlauil hnve rarely had the
ennrnge In at t nek tho fundamental principles
upon which Hint coveriimetit is based, or tn at
tempt any serious change in what is termed the
"English Constitution." The signers nf the
Declaration nf Independence, in that Immor
tal instrument, rccngnizo and give considera
ble neiglit lo this same principle, and give
considerable weight to this same principle, ns
tne lulluwiug sentence Willi Rill show, "Pru
deuce, indeed, will dictate that governments

light and tinnsient. Cannes; nnd accordingly,
nil experience hnth shown Ihut mankind are
more disposed to sutler while evils are suffera

This observation refers, of course, to revolu

in tiie form of government, but ns every

equally wrong in principle ai d unsound iu poli
cv. This ia the question now in issue between
the President aud Congress, and it lias there
fore been already folly canvassed belore tile
i pie, still it will not pereaps be amiss fur me
lo iniik" a few remarks upon it in this connec
tion. Tin is the most vital point iu Ihe whole
controversy, fur if the Stale whose people were
lately in rebellion nro still in Ihe Union, na
claimed by the President, and entitled lo rep-
resentnlion, this amendment ia illegal, as it baa
not been passed upon by the ltepr'esentativca
Irion the South, nnd has not, therefore received
the sanction uf the requisite two-thirds of both
houses of Congress. Let ns then, as briefly
as possible, examine tins oiiestiou uf the statu
nf the Slates,
The oppose rs of president JoIiiimui have not,
as yet, settled upon any common ground on
this subject but disagree among themselves
almost aa w idely aa ihey a'l differ fiom Ihe
President. However, the position most gene
rn I It held, and most tenable ia that of Senator
Williams, which if w remember enrrectly
may be stated briefly aa fulluwa : That the
tad s nre lu the Union ns to their duties aud
nut na lo their rights, that their privileges as
etntca have been forfeited bv Ihe crime of re
bellion and are now in the hands of Congress,
and that Ihe law-making power has therefore
the right In end any comlitiona it pleases he
fori. ri admit'iug those states In the "Commu
nion nf the Union.' Majiy strong abp-oliona
might be made to lln-ae petition, but I a ill
eoiilrnt myself with the .statement of a few of
thoso which are to my mind the most convin
live
Aa In the Aral position, via t "that th stales
are iu Ihe Union a to llieir duties hot cut as
In llieir rights," a few words will sofhYe a ibis
doctrine pointedly contradicts the well-known
c
rtncipleul lw Dial the allegiance nl theenh
I fnrdtd him by the gin rnmtot, and that tin-lot.
cl Is III rtart proportion In the protection at
ces and rights always go hand in hand. Civ
il government is instituted for the solo pur
pose nf protecting tho rights of men in society
aud it ia from thia fact nloue that it hna any
claim to their allegiance; it must therefore
cense lo exact Ihe performance of nties lis
anon ns it censes to protect rights. The dou
trine, then, that those districts n here the re
bellion rnged are iffasi aa In their duties,
while they nre territoria only as to their rights
is simply absurd.
Tho second position-viz: that tbe rights nf
those states havo been forfeited hy treason and
aro now in tbe bunds of Congress Is fully an
awered I think by the following considerations:
Slntes aro quasi corporations and therelore.
occording to Hlackstone, "Ihey cannot commit
treason or felony or other crime, in llieir cor
pnrute capacity, thi ngli their member may in
their distinct individual capaeitie. Neither
ire ihey capable of differing a traitor'e or fel
on's puuisiiineiit. lor ihey are not liable to cor
porul peiinltie. nor to uit'iiuder forfeiture, or
corruption nf blo .il. This principle is so plain
that it seems to mo to he almost incapable nf
argument. The punishment assigned to trea
son by Cnngress slums Hint It has always been
considered a personal crime. Besides, even
if these states can commit treason, and have
done so, their rights cannot be said to be now
forfeited for it is an established principle that
forfeiture accrues only after conviction by due
process of lnw belore a proper court, though
it may then sometimes beduted back to tbe com
mission nf the offense.
The' doctrine then that Congress has the
right to exact from the Southern States Mi;
"condition precedent" lo lite admission nf
their representatives lias no foundation iu law.
However lo support this theory the dectsi n of
Ihe Supreme Cuiirt in the case of Luther r
Borden lias been sometimes relied upon, as
showing that Congress has the right to deter
mine what is the true' government in a slate,
nnd that therefore it has also the right tn say
that lio government exists there lit nil, A
close examination uf that decision, convinces
me that it contains warrant no lor the principle
that is attempted lobe deduced from it. That
ensu was one which nmse during the Dorr Ko
hellion iu Uliode Island where there were two
bodies nf men each claiming to bo the (Tne
government of the slate, und tin- Court simply
oecided ihat ns Congress was bound to guaruii
tde a republican form of government to i very
stnte.it bud a right lo determine, in Ihat case,
which was the legitimate government. This
point, was incidei tal merely and nnt essential
to th" case so that it may have been somewhat
loosely decided, hetico wo must receive it with
cmisiiii-rable camion. But, at any rate, it can.
not In- tnken ns precedent for action iu the
present instance, us there is only one body
claiming tn be Ihe government in ench of the
Southern Stales, so that Ihe point decided ill
Luthei's case is nut in issue here
To show the ub urdiiics into which the lead
ing radicals uru cuutiuually fulling, I will here
make an extract Iroin a spe ell delivered by
Hon. J II I). Henderson in the House Upon
this Constitutional Amendment. Ilia explana
tion of ihe status of tin- States is very Inuid,
indeed, Ho says : " There nre four entities
that c.iler into Ihe organism nf every State.
Take nway any one of them, und the State
ceases tn exist as such. First, there must he
territory; second, there must bo inhabitants ;
third, there must he a constitution and laws;
hoinli, there must ho the necessary officer to
carry tnese laws into execution. These are all
essential lo the existence nf a State, and il you
remove one the State censes.'' According to
our erudite Congressman's theory, then, if the
Statu office in Oregon, or, perhaps, nuy one of
llieiu, should become vacant by dentil, lesigna
tion. nr any oilier cause, the State would he
ipso facto destroyed ! for one of the ' four en
tities" would be removed 1 Ridiculous as this
position is. it is of the same character with all
the positions taken hy the radical majority in
Congress. The only true solution uf Ibis Re
construction question is the one proposed hy
President Johnson ; he contends that the States
are in the Union as fully as Ihey ever were,
and that Ihey are now entitled to be represent
eil in Congress by men who are loyal nud can
pass all coiistitiitiounl tests. According In his
view, the right lo representation has been con
limine ever since tile admission nf those Slntes
into Ihe Union, iililioiigti Ihe efcrcite nl Ihat
right has been inleirupted by the rebellion
ami lias been iu abeyance during tile war To
contend that the Slates have lost llieir rights
by their refusal to exercise them, is as prepos
teroos as it would be In argue Ihat if a voter
should stay nway from Hie polls fur several sou
costive eleel inns, he would thereby be dl-lrun-chiM'd.
Il this doctrine is correct, then Con
gross has no right lo ask nuy " condition prece
dent," but should at once proceed, euch House
ior its, -II, tn examine the individual qualifica
tion of tint e person eleuied lo represent Ihe
Soulh, nnd it is your doty to vnte ugaiiist this
amendment. hoen-r just it may lie in ilsell
otherwise you will ln-cnuio committed lo the
fatal illicit nm that llioso States are out ol Ihe
Uoiou.
If ving thus discussed the amendment ns n
whole, nud having slated those general olec
iiouswhicli will apply lo the entire proposition
I will, iu the next paper, enter into a more crit
ical nnd n i il u to examination uf the various fee
lions. Woodman.
"ABMY IXFtlEXt'K IX SrVfU I'OMTIl'B."
From the above text the editor of Ihe Ore
ganian, in his issue of the 1st iot , delivers a
very prosy homily on "Stale Rights," reprov
ing tiie Tr ends of Mr. Nesmith with consider
able severity, for endeavoring to procure the
re election uf that gentleman to the Senate,
by publishing holers from the principal officers
of the army endorsing bis course during Ihe
past five years. The Oregonian aaya Ihat
even il I hose letters are authentic, they ought uot
to influeuco the decision of Ihe members of the
Legislature, upon the Senatorial question ; as
that ia a matter which concerns only Ihe Stale
of Oregon, aud therefore these officers uf the
army have nothing tn do w ilh it. We resprct
fully beg leave lo dissent from this position,
believing ihat the election of a United States
Senator, upoh whose vote the fnle of our com
mon country may soon depend, is vol a mere
question uf "Slate politics," but one of nation
al importance nnd of deep interest lu every pa
triot in ihe laud. The same paper ttates that
"it is aaid ihat Gen. Grant bus written a
biter to Oregon. which is shortly to be given to
the pi.hho. uigiug that Nesmith be returned'"
It then g.-ca on In argue against Ihe probabili
ty uf Ihe existence of such a letter. These
ittgomc Ms do uot affect the fuel, however, Ihat
Geu. Grant has wtitten a letter uf thecharao
ter referred to. and Ihat it is now in our pos
ses, ion. We would further slate, for I h" sat
isfaction nf tho Oregonian nnd uf all olhera
"whom it may concern." that Ihe biter uf
Gen. Sheridan, from which we published an
extract iu nnr Inst issue, is also in nu r bands,
signed "Phil. II. Sheridan. Mj. Gen. V. 8.
A ," iu the well kl'own bold, lirui hand writ
ing of the dashing "Cavalry Leader."
In answer lu Ihe statement uf the Oregon
an that "Gen. Sheridan Is not a ciliien of Or
cgon," nnd therefore baa no interest in our af
fairs, we would say. Ihat the General now
owns several hundred acre uf laud iu Polk
county, upon wliiih be ha paid county
nud Slates laica regularly fur the part
live yeais. It would seem from this Ihat be
has a right at least to express an opinmu upon
Oregon politic. In regard tu Ihe dilf rem
iu the views entertained by Gen. Sheridan
and Ihe vuitor 'uf Ihe Oiegonian a lu Mr.
Noainith'a recotJ, we leave it to Ihe publio lu
judge. It i a litl'e singular, however, that
Die Oregonian should lie uuwillmg to admit
lb General a a willies to prove Mr. Net
limb's b') ally, when il ia an ready to us hi
testimony tu show ihe lubalnliiy uf President
Johnson in Ihe mailer ol ihe New Oileuus ri-
"Oh, Consistency ! 1 Una art a jewel,"
And Stii.i. Thbv Comb! We uic pcruui
teil lu take the fid'owing extract frnni a letter
written lu a fiiend in Oregon by Surgeon Gen
eral lUrucs, a man high in station and ihe cn
fidetU o of his countrymen. He is uow accom
pany ing President Johnson in bis tour through
the Western States :
I have yet In meet Ihe firat officer
who has served in Oregon, who does not iden
tify himself with the interests of the State, and
here in Washington there is quite au Oregon
clique, which during the war could rally such
names hs Sheridan, Hns.ell. Augur, lugalls,
Tyler. Hardie, Wildrick. and a bust of utlters,
bound together by ph aaunt recollections of Ihe
far North West. You will recognize mnny
pe reunnl friends among the military oelebritic
whose first experience were in defence nf your
borders, and you could oblige aad gratify litem
all by securing the re-eleotion of Senator Nes
mill). Oregon could not he more ably or cred
itably represented; his relatione to the Piesi
dent nod Cabinet, and hi personal pnpularity
und influence in the Senate, being such na to
secure for Ihe interests of hi Constituents the
most favorable consideration. His public act
speak for themselves, reflecting credit upon his
State, ami placing him in Ilio honorable posi
tion ol nne wlio, not hound by parly, came for
wurd to the support of ihe Administration in
the hour o! the country's greatest trial. It is
due lo Oregon that she should now endorse his
course, und 1 can assure that, in the ealiinntinn
of nil gnod men here, she will honor herself in
honoring hiiu. Very sincerely, yours,
I. K. Hak.neh, U.S.A.

from the dispatches, that the President's tnur
is w hat il should be a grand and glorious suc
cess. New York city, which, a the Mayor
beautifully remarked, " never speak in whis
pers," bus thundered a joyous greeting tn the
champion nf the people and the defender nf tbe
Constitution. The issue was doubtful enough
when he bared his manly linsuin to the shafts
of numberless foes almost uliine he had fought
the good fight, and it was no wonder the iron
hearted hern yielded to emotion as the stormy
thousand of the great metropolis surged
around him with (heir jubilant welcome. In
