Ktiolctd, That the several States composing the United States, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Uovcrninent, bnt that by a compact, under the style and title of a Constitution fur the United States, and of amend ments thereto, they constituted a General Govern ment, for special purposesdelegated to that Gov ernment certaiu definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their self-government ; and that whenever the General Government assumes undelegated power, its acts a re unauthoritative, void, and of no force ; that to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integr.il party, its co-States forming, as to it self, the ether party ; that the Government creat ed by this compact was not made the exclusive or 8 nal jt dge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself, since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its pow ers; but that, as in all other cases of compact emong poictr larimij no eommom judge, eaek party la tqtal right to judge, for "", as u-elt o-ij-fraetioM a of the mode and mtnmrt of rtdretm. Henry- Clay's Prediction "The slavery question ia the Free States will destroy ail har mony, and Anally lead to disunion. The conse quences cf disunion are perpetual war the ex tinction of the African race ultimate military des potism." Clay't Lttter to Col ton, Sept. 2, 1843. The Journal and the Constitution. The Albany Journal has been revived, the first JNTo. appearing last Saturday un der the auspices of Pickett & Co. Jt presents mechanically a very creditable appearance. In politics it is intensely Radical. It pledges iu support to All the reconstructioa measures of Congress, and has no doubt that iU sentimeqts will con tinue to be in harmony with the action of Congress in governing subjugated reb els." "We clip the following from its col umns : ''How wa are to proceed in the work of recon struction is jet to be evolved in the future, as we have no historic precedents to guide us. The con stitution cannot be brought to our aid, for it refers solely to a state of peace and acknowledged sov ereign authority, add has no provision for the pres ent condition of the rebel people. The case must be settled on its own merits, Uking the Roman maxim Tor our guide, that "The welfare of the j people is the supreme law." It Trill bo seen that our cotemperary throws aay the federal Constitution as of no account It "cannot be brought to our aid' says the Journal ; "for it refers solely to a state of peace and acknowledged sovereign authority." The Journal in tends to be extremely "loyal." It will go as far as the most ultra. It will out-Phillip-Phillips, or Anna Dickinson, or that other hermaphrodite yclept Charles Sumner. "We have always believed we held the belief d uring the war even that the Constitution should be. brought to our ail; and that it should never be set aside under any pretext whatever. A true Democrat never sets aside the Or ganic Law of the State or Nation ; but Radicalism always does whenever it stands in the way of the accomplishment of its aims and objects. The doctrine thus un blushingly advocated by the Journal will lead to anarchy and despotism, in the United State? if the Radical-Jacobinical party advocating it be not checked. It ; sets aside fundamental law and substitutes in its stead the mere whims, and caprices, ; and blind passions of a victorious but in sane party. '"The case must be settled on jts own merits," says the Journal. The Constitution is defective. Tho -men that made it were such great fools that they jnade no provision for our present condi tion; and therefore we, the Radical par ty, will tate law. into our own hands; we will Tic! a 5e t ' itf impunity. Wc do not suppose iLr ce who thus scouts the idea cf t illering to the Constitution un- An I n me to nnoo will nitr - CTiff J" V- ifutwMAUVVj It lit E J xuuvu at tsnliga th vrhat the Supreme Court says j but nevertheless ere cannot refrain from directing attention to the following. It is from the decision recently delivered by he Supreme Court of the United States .declaring military commissions unconsti tutional. A majority of the Court are jRepublicans, and the decision was deliv ered by a Republican, who was a bosom friend of Lincoln, and who js ope of his appointees. Here it is: "The Constitution is a law for rulers and peo ple, jeqoaUy in war and in peace, and covers with ,the shield .(fits protection all classes of men, at .all times and under aji circumstances; and no "doctrine involving more pernicioas consequences ,was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any "of the great exigencies of the Government. Such .a doctrine bds directly to anarchy and despot ;iam, and tho theory of necessity, on whiph ip ; is based, is false." - . It will be seen that thcra is considcra? .ble difference between the Supreme Court and the J ournal. The Court say that the Constitution is a law for rulers and peo ple, at all times in war and peace. The Journal siys it won't do now; and con tends that it has no provision for the present condition of the rebel people. The Supreme Court say that it covers, with its shield, rebels as well as the "loy f" all classes of men, at all times and nnder all circumstances. The Journal ays it may do well enough in time of $ eace, but not now. We must settle our 4iieultiea on their own merits, without .the Constitution. The Court gay that the doctrine that any of the provisions of he Constitution can be suspended during any of th3 great exigencies of the Gov ernment, involves more pernicious conse quences t!ian was ever invented by the writ of rar-n; that it leads to anarchy and despotism, and the theory of necessi ty, on which it is based, is false; but the Journal sjems to think that these sen ti pcats cf tho Court are all moonshine, and hat jtjxe IladicaJ-JacoHnical party, led on jj o. unp Congress, can govern the ?73try-T particularly subj ugated rebels . without the Constitution, and settle the cs.33 on it's own merits. ."VYe contnend the Journal to all who, like it, telleve that the Constitution should bo thrown aside, and tho country bo governed by tbo whims, and caprices, and passions, and prejudices of tho Radi cal party. It 'will suit all such. 13 ut to those who favor law and orderwho rev erenco the Constitution who, with the Supreme Court, belicro that tho Constitu tion is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times and under all circumstances; who aro averse to anarchy and despot ism to all such we would say, you do not want the Journal. It advocates doc trines subversive of law and order ; doc trines on which you place the seal of your condemnation. Tho Colony of Liberia, Ofcourso our readers have heard of the Colony of Liberia. It was founded forty or fifty years ago by great and good men, among whom Henry Clay was prom inent. A government, which in ita gen eral features resembles that of the United States, has been in successful operation there for several years; and the colony is doing fully as well as thoso contemplated under whoso immediate auspices, was projected. iiecenuy wnuo uoocrresi was irvmc to i .i tM. . .1 iick an. appropriation, dill into snape, somo a. .... ... ...
