CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT.
FROM THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN.


When M. THEIRS was illustrating, in the French
Chamber Of Deputies, his ideas of what const-
tutiona monarchy ought to be- he referred to Great
Britain, and summed up his exposition by saying
that in England the King reigned but did not
gouern.
In constitutional Republic the President ad-
ministers. The governing power is embodied in
the constitution and the laws, and these emanate
from the people.
The Ministers Of the British Crown, who act in
the royal name, have seats in Parliament. Thus
the Executive power is associated with the Legis-
lative, and the whole influence of the Adminisra-
ton brought bear in favor of the measures constituting
its system of policy When Ministers longer sustain
ed the House Of Commons they resign and others
senting different policy chosen in their places In that
way the general public will controls the action of Gov
ernnlent.
Our political system is widely different The members Of
the Presidents Cabinet d. have in either House
Congess and if political opposition in that body should
defeat any recommended by the President they would
be bound toregn than the President himself They
executive officers, having Legislative responsibility.
The Constitution however, does impose legislative espon
sbily upon the President 1t gives to the Chief Magistrate
the initiative and the final action upon of legislation
That say, makes the duty Of the President
commend the consideration of Congress such
may him adapted promote the public good it fur
her authorizes him to place his oo upon any bill from Con-
gres which he may approve The power ia exercise the
lust perfect the power to recommend TO
Congress- and both be used under similar obligations
of patriotism, reaecton and Judgment The President is
responsible Congress in either casebut to the People.
II he should recommend aash and i'll advised measures, he
would run the same risk Of fotng the public confidence
though he should impose the upon wholesome wecon
sidercd bill. # .&
Wthia the lmi Of these two powtrsthat Of recommend
ing Congress and that Of vetong bis-e the
functions of the legislative body For the proper
of functions Congress responsible, not to the
President, but to the People
The King of Great Britain holding by hereditary tenure
The responsibility Of the Government the people Is e

whenever the Ministers carry their measures
in that body. But in country the responsibility Of the
Administration to the people at fixed peods-onee

public favor be s reelected alter his first term if not some
'ne else is chosen. Thus evils Of administration may be rec
t6ed from time to time.

SoCIALIsM.-There are some men who are hon.
estly endeavoring to effect different organization
of society, in the vain hope OF establishing greater
equality and comfort among mankind; whilst there
are others who maintain the theory of the socialists
whilst their practice is precisely the reverse vi
the latter class is EUGENE SUE, of France, who,
adopting as fundamental maxim that /" no one has
right to superfluity while any one is in want OF
necessaries," lives in the most splendid and luxu-
rious style, whilst the poor and destitute OF his
neghborhood labor hard for scanty fare, and some.
times go supperless to bed
We have unfortunately many of this class in the
United Statesmen who preach up liberty and
equality and stouy maintain the rights OF the poor
at election times, but who would kick them from
their doors at any other period. We have heard
politicians ridicule the Goldfish aristocracy, silk
stocking gentry" and the like, who would consider
themselves disgraced to sit at table with mocha
mic and yet like Eugene Sue, they are cheered
for protesting what they do not practice.
Now, we do not believe that all the reformers in
the world, admitting them TO be honest in their in
tentions, can so constitute society as 10 prevent IN
equality in station and in comfort. WI hist some
are prudent and others prodgal, some industrious
and others idle, there must necessarily exist dii-
ference in condition and it's right that such should
be the case as otherwise all motive to exeron, in.
tellectually and physically, would be destroyed. II
the maxim of Eugene Sue were universally adopt
ed and acted on, mankind would soon become an
assemblage of beggars for there would be no in
centve to labor 1t is The ambition to excel that
gives an impetus to industry, and draws forth the
talents and virtues of the world. Were men not
permitted to enjoy the fruits Of their industry, even
to the indulgence in superfuities, their labors would
become as tresome and fruitless as those of Sissy
phus, but would have speedier termination for
no one would continue to work, if the lazy, the
prodiga, and the Incorporate were permitted to
participate equally in the results Of his exertions.
