NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1851

bspren in the Senate during the recess OF the
Leeislature of any State, the execaftre thereof
may make temporary appointments until the Hext
meeting of the Legislature, which shall then MI
such vacancies" Here is another clause which
Congress cannot carry into execution since the
agency thereof is lodged with State authority
So also the clause in respect to fugitlves from
;ustice obviously refers to State agency. Hence
The nrinciple is not true, that Congress has an
iuriied power of legislation in respect TO all the
clauses and provisions Of the Constitution. NO
such doctrine is taught by the instrument itself.
Some of its clauses, both in term and IN their ma
ture. are TO be executed by State officers, which
is one reason why they are sworn TO support the
Constitution Of the United States Hence, again,
no implied power TO legislate in respect to Fugi-
tive Slaves can be infenedfro greater implied
power to legisate in respect to all the provisions
Of the Constitution. The principle is false, not
authorized by the Constitution itself II adopted
and carried out, it would ruin our Republican
system, and often bring Congress In conflict with
that Constitution which gives it all its powers
The simple truth is that all TmPiled powers Oh
legislation are drawn wholly and only from e.
press grants Of power to the Federal Government
and hence where there are no such grants, there
are no implied powers
Thus we have as yet failed to find any consttu-
tionsl authority for Federal Legislation IN respect
TO the recovery Of Fugitive Slaves. NO such au'
thority is given to Congress in cypress terms
none, in the false assumption OF an implied
power by legislation to carry into execution al
the provisions of the Constitution.
We turn next to the executive department OF
the Federal Government Can we here IND any
constitutional authority for legislation on this sub
iect 2 If so, then we must have In the Consti'
tuition an express power, giving the President au'
thority, and making it bis duty, to attend to the
business of arresting and delivering up Fugitive
Slaves. Were this the case, then Congress might
derive an implied power of legislation from the
grant of express power to the President since
be is an "ofiicer' of the Federal Government,
with specified powers and duties. There IS. now
ever not the remotest reference to the SUBJECT OF
Fugitive Slaves in the grants OF power MADE 10
the President, or the duties assigned to bis ONCE,
Hence, from this source Congress can derive no
implied power OF legislation. True, the Presl-
dent swears to support the Constitution but, ne
swears to support it as President exercising
the powers and dischargiDg the duties by the
Constitution assigned to thin. His oath oil othce
surely creates no power.
Failing to find the constitutional authority for
legislation on the subject in question in either
the legiSlGtiVe the eTecuttre department. OF the
General Government, we come in the last place
to the Federal Judiciary This will be examined
in the next number HUMAN RIGHTS.

A CASE OF CONSCIENCE.

Mr.. Editor Il was a remark Of Sydney Smith
in review Of the works of Lord Byron, that the
moral sense of the community slept In apathy
through a term of years, until, aroused by some
severe shock, it fermented, and then went quietly
to sleep again for the same term longer
The truth of this statement has lately been
signally realized in this community in regard to
the practices of the vagrant girls who swarm the
crowded business part Of our City through the day
The Report Of the Chief few months since on
the subject appalled, the most thorough advocates
Of human deprayity and the pulpit and the press
teemed with the EXTREMIST CALCULATIONS oil horror
at the development, together with commentators
of the authorities for the discharge OF so painful
duty as acquaintiDg the citizens with the reVoit
ing facts.
But what if the keen outbreak of public senti
ment, which succeeded the Report, has been SO
lightly regarded that the evil, so far from being
swept away with the bosom of destruction
which the sword Of the magistrate was created 70
do has been tolerated, and by total Indifference
connived at TO such a degree, that the EVIL mas
ripened 20 a system Of the viest iniquity.
Let our citizens gay that reforms en- this suoJeci
suggested shall be reform realized TO eur common
sense and observation, while we plead now not
for the rescue Of young girls from destruction
which, by neglect ia now almost ruin, but Tor our
young men who are daily and hourly entraPPed
to their hopeless ruin, and we shall feel that tue
moral sense of the community is sometimes eih-
cient ana that the olive branches around our
tables are not readily to become yiPers IN oar

To the Editor Of The Tribune:
The impudent assumption OF the late Common
Council in their attempt to saddle this City with
an expensive contract for eighteen years, for sup
plying gas, has created great sensation in our
heavily.taxed community, as might have been
expected, from any subject appealing so directly
TO the pocket. Landholders in Weehawken, Ho-
boken, Jersey City, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Will
liamsburgb, Bushwick, Ravenswood, Astoria, DC.
generally approve the vetoed contract, as well as
every scheme that shall squeeze as many citizens
out of Newly ork into the surrounding cities and
villages as possible. But there is far higher
concern than the pecuniary interest ia this mat
ter. To me. il seems TO strike at the vitality OF
Representative Government. If the political
agents we annually elect shall be allowed TO tet
ter their constituents for eighteen years, L see
nothing in the principle assumed that shall re-
strain them from binding us eighty or eight hum
bred years-except possibly sense OF propriety
or modesty. The bare statement shows that it
would be too absurd to be endured, even under
monarchical sovereignty.
The theory of Representative Government de-
MES the power Of any Legislative body to make
valid contract beyond the period OF It's own eX'
istence II this were not the true theory OF the
popular sovereignty, and vest interpretations, and
even individuals with all the great interests OF
tie public. The political servants OF the people,
chosen as legislators may make laws and con-
tracts which their successrs, fresh from the Peo-
ple may consider good, and proper to be continu-
ed not because those things were instituted by
their predecessors, but because thepresent wants
or wishes of the people require the continuance
Representative Government not only denies
the right of such ephemeral agents OF the people 70
bind the Commonwealth beyond the term OF their
appointment but must deny even to the entire
people, ifsuch unanimity were possible, the right
70 bind succeeding generations, or even what may
be termed the same generation but for avery
short time, comparatively or else in vain was
uttered the Declaration Of 70, which proclaimed
certain self evident truths to be - lnatiena6e.'
Some example seems to be needed now and
then, to prevent the creatures OF law from forget
ting their creator and induce frequent recur,
renee to first principles More usurPation and
violation of Constitutional right have been per-
petrated by the legislative brsnchesot govern
ment, National and State, than all the others TO-
gether. JUSTICE

The Gas Contract.

Our new Board of Assistant Aldermen
will be organized to-day. Being mainly
fresh from the People, we trust they will
pause and carefully consider before they
are inveigled into overriding Mayor WooD-
HULL's late righteous and most popular
Veto on the proposed new Gas Contract,
whether directly or by sanctioning a new
Contract. If any one is dubious rs to the
course he ought to pursue in the premises,
we entreat him to ask the opinion of the
hundred most intelligent and upright men
with whom he is acquainted. If the result
does not fix him firmly in the resolution to
have nothing to do with any Gas Contract
during the present year, then he must GER
tainly be unfortunate in his associations.
There is not rational doubt that ninety
nine of every hundred citizens who, have
any opinion in the premises decidedly con-
denim the proposed Contract and warmly
applaud the Mayors Veto. Shall the en-
phatic judgment of the People be ostenta-

a meeting of the New-York State Anti Capital
Punishment Society, at Convention Hall, Woos-

speakers will open the case, and we ask the
friends Of Humane Legislation to be present. The
opponents Of the Death Penalty do not expect to
be heard for their much speaking, having held no
meeting for nearly year past. Let them show
by their numbers tonight that their interest IN
the cause Is ardent and undated.
