THE CONSTITUTION MISGUIDED. ANOTHER
FRAUDULENT DEVICE.

Whenever black republican seeks to deduce the power
of Congress este the subject ofsiavey in the Terri
tories from the clause in the constitution in regard to the
ulaop and disposition Of the territory and other property
Of the United States he Is almost certain squoe and
pervert the language The address just issued by the
blackrepublcan national committee appointed Pitts
burg February a. 1867 understood to have been written
by Francis p Blair esq and signed by twenyone Of the
prominent leaders of the party coses with this remark
owe hold that Congress bound by the constitution TO
make all needu rules and regulations for the Territories OF
the United States and during their pupiage and prepare
ton to become members OF the conederacy TO prevent the
growth within them Of systems incongruoas with the pure
and free the just and sa principles irapgurated by the
oution."
No will doubt that the design OF the foregoing par
agruph make the impression the casual reader
that the constitution confers Congress the power ito
make all neeM rules and regulations for ne Territories Of
the United Safes and that the language quoted is taken
from the constitution. Mr. Blair is familiar with that
clause in the constitution have misquoted IL ignoranty
The true language Of the constitution is this
"The Congress shall have power dispose Of and make
all needu rules and regulations respecting the territory
other property belonging to the United States"
II ought not to excite much surprise that spurious
MORALS should be pamed upon the Senate by the Topeka
republicans when their great champions under palm
spurious constitution upon the people OF the United
States

At this point the conductor collected the tickets
and detaching the engine, started off for Camden,
leaving the passengers to get along the best they
could. The latter suffered greatly from the cold,
some of them getting their feet and hands frost
bitten. The fires going out in the stoves, the pas
sengers were exposed to the bitter wind and in
tense cold for long time, and a considerable dis
lance from any dwelling. They determined to
avoid death by freezing, BY making Gre IN the
open air, which they did by properly breaking up
one of the finest cars, and setting it on Ere. The
rails of some of the fences were likewise burnt.
