N. p. BANKS.

Mr.. Banks, having been nominated by the Re
publican party Of Massachusetts,, as their candi-
date for Governor, and being openly supported
also by some prominent men, who profess to be
Americans, 1t is matter Of curiosity, IL not i'm
portance, to know what are his real political SEN
timents. In speech made on Monday, at large
meeting near Boston, he used the following Ian
guage to " define his position !"
"And would return you my thanks for the
kindness of your reception, and express to you my

ments and feelings of the inner principles of the

there can be but one result--we can never have
any political power. All our strength will be wasted
year by year in forming new organisations on new
questions, and each year, instead OF finding Us
united will find us farther asunder. No; this Is

RIOT TRIALS.

In the recent riot trials which have occupied
the attention of the Criminal Court and the CON-
munity, Judge Crawford is reported to have said;
{" For myself look to that part of the Constitu-
ton which makes it the Presidents duty to take
care that the laws be faithfully executed, as the
proper authority for my action in the premises"
Without at all questioning the fact that the
President is necessarily entrusted with consider
able discretion in the execution Of the laws, let
US examine this provision Of the Constitution by
the aid Of one Of the most eminent jursts of this
or any other country:
another duty Of the President is to take care
that the laws be faithfully executed But we are
not to understand that this clause confers on the
President any nep or substantial po,cer to cause
the laws to be faithfully executed, by any means
which he shall see ft to adopt although not pre-
scribed by the Constitution or by the acts of Con-
gress That would be to clothe him with an alb
solute despotic power over the lives the property,
aud the rights, of the whole people, A tyran-
nical President might under a pretence of this
sort, punish for crime without any trial by jury,
or usurp the functions of other departments of the
Government. The true Interpretation of the
means as the Consultation and laos have placed
at his disposal, to enforce the due execution of
the laws. Story on the Consultation. a
What becomes of Judge Crawford's declaration
In the face Of the construction that no new or
substantial power is conferred by this clause in
the Federal Constitution a8a
Now let US see what Judge Blackstone says
upon this subject; not, indeed, upon this clause
of our Constitution, but upon principle antece.

men from offending, il never can follow from
thence that IL is lawful TO deter them at any rate
and by any means, since there may be unlawful
methods of enforcing obedience even to the justest
laws. "-Biackstone, Vol. 4, c. i.
Now, granting that the President had reason.

had mott the civil power to be totally inadequate
to the suppression of the riot and had been set
at defiance, where is the record of his application

ford says there is no mitia in this District All
indeedl 1t is very strange; for the book before
us tells US that there is and that there is such
thing as militia law unrepesled upon the Statute

Crawford answer.

PETTY.

From the Impressions which wo early received
an ! have always entertained, through years now
lot few, of the Presidents personal character
and disposition together with the liberaizing
in6uence of his long experience In the cvii service
of the Government, we had hoped, and even ven
tured TO express the hope, that in the accession
Of the kind-hearted Mr.. Buchanan to the Presi-
dency, the country to witness II not an entire
return of that eera of good feeling" which, forty
years ago, marked the advent of the last OF the,
stock of Revolutionary Presidents, at least 1t was
TO witness no recurrence OF that petty proscrip-
ton of humble clerks and servants in the Govern
ment bureaus which marked the reign OF terror"
We learn, however, with sincere regret, that this
small game has been started anew, though not,
we are confident, with the Presidents privityl or
sanction. A5AtA-
The above severe but just rebuke Of the AID.

and ability in this city some time ago. The party
