Eron the South Arkansas Democrat. -r, Edward A. Warren.

..osnondent of the State Rights Eagle,
 ~oyer the signature of Columbia" in
 1p's 'ssnication to that paper of the date Of the
 eI, states the reasons of Col. Warren's
 oEed attack upon us, to be, in substance,
 s.rs. Because we had not expressed an
 as to whether Col. Wanen's Utah re-
 .n and bis vote upon the treasury note
 'O .rs democratic or not-the same having
 Nsaoounced bv the True Democrat" as
 ,'u,ocratic. We still decline to take any
 .be contest between the "True Demo.
 fs",rd Col Warren, as the ally of either
 D. T,t as Col. Warren does us the honor. to
 N' nron our opinion as to his action in re-
 f,' a," inc measures specified above, we will
 'ir him, as we do not feel disposed to be
 T,,e toward a gentleman whom we es-
 highly, in personal point of view.
 %. highly disapprove of his course upon
 %tthose measures.
 S% U. obiect to his Utah resolution, because it
 a to inquire into the right of the Utah
 .s to a seat in the House of Representa-
 oo the ground>that Utah was in state
 fsI rebellion. We are of ihe opinion that
 .rsss had no constitutional right or power to
 OIs V. .ch inquiry, on any such ground. We
 'as 's nretend to deny that Congress has the
 7, n inauire into the right of member to
 ,sat when that inquiry is based upon some
 or facts. going to invaidate the right of 5 member as an individual, to such seat. .n.e in so doing 1t would be acting within
 scole of it's constitutional aud legitimate
 .er. but we do most emphaticallv deny irs ,bt to make such inquiry upon facts, which
 s,.ton the right of state or organized terri nrr to sny representation al all; for there is no n.b power granted to Congress in the constitn- sm Under our laws each state and orcaiiz- "a territory is entitled to its representation in
 ,rgress: ard no power has ever been deIeoat. \ f0 thai body whereby it can question or deuv S.eb right, under any circumstances, or by any
 arse of proceedings whatever, SO long as such
 sre or organized territory remains an integral l ari of the Lation. If no such power has been teleged to Congress, it would oi course he srcorsitutional for Congress to assume it, kOW Col. Wawens Utah resolution proposed to EDoaire into the right of the Utah delegate to N. seat-not because of anything wrong in his scton. not because of his want of the consti EahonaI qualifications, and not because said de- gate had been guilty of conduct for which he bagit to be eXpelled--bm because Utah, itself Its n state cf legaL rebellion. Now If thai Ibct had been sufficient to justify the inquiry boposed, and the consequent expulsion of the ,luag delegate, m the ereut of finding the fact Eae, 1t would have been, aud would be, as a hAter of course, an equal justification to Con- re'S ior refusing to receive any delegate hat yer from Utah, as long as she continued in a ae of rebel on. Sn the elfect Of the resou- on would have been, had the same been car yd out, 10 entirely deny to Utah the right ot presentation. as long IS she, in the opinion oi opgress, remained in state of rebellion. iot- itA,ta ding she Is now, and Was theii. ali or. saized teTloy, and as such 9 part of the na- un. Now is Congress has 10 constitutional Dwer to deny to d state or all organized terri. pry the right of representation. tor aIv cause Eaa.Ner, and as Col Warren's resolution wa, Iased upon fact, which contemplated. and iuted directly 10 sgch result. it follow, tha, Iat resoluton Was unconstitutional. and il Eolation of the reserved ryh,s of the people Id therefore anti-democraiic.
 We object to Col. Walren's vote upon th, treasury hoJe bii, because it was d measure O lhe present administration, and under the cir fumsances which gave rise to it, right i,i itself Ne are ]us;htd in saying that 1t was fl mpa ure 0i the prc7ent administration iroGl the lul owing facts: 1t was introduced bv the friend. l the admlnls.ratiou-b those bclonsino tf Dc same party with Col Warren and the pfesi |eut; t was vo,ed for ad Susl 4il,ed bv large EaIo1ly Of the democratic representation ii Foigress, and 1t was approved and signed b, President Buchanan.

 The foregoing are orr opinions as to the ac h of Col. Warren in rsc ,rl to . ah and th, aasury note hl; Ard we would have give, lTe>-ion 10 them sooner. but for the follow. Z facts: FIrst. At the tlne we assumed thu ftoFship of this paper, both the Utah re>o'u. on and tine bill were things of the ln,st-the & havIng dled thr0n2h the nee ecl of it's nIrs.

Warren's error, thongha great ie as being of the judgment and not of the eart; for We believed, then, and stil believe, laI he was led astray, not by any intention to sert the democratic party. or to violate its 'acples, butby grievouS misapprehension Of pose principles h view of these facts we EM determined not to animadvert upon Col Naren's action as to the matters now under PAAeration-not being able to see what good 'e could do to the public, or our party, by pur- Ols him on account of lapse in his judg- Aetl h regard to matters past and settl led-e>- g'caily as we thought, ans still think.

 me above are our reasons for not sooner ex- IeSSNg our dissent from Col. Warren's treasufv 'se o'i! vote, and his Utah resolution.
