Coercion.

The Secessionists confound two things essen
tally distinct-the power Of the Federal Gov
ernment to coerce the State Governments with
its power to compel the people Of the several
States to obey the federal laws. They call the
latter State coercion, and deny its constitution
ality. t,t.a
The State Governments are in their sphere
distinct and separate from the Federal Govern
ment. There are certain attributes Of sover.
eighty conferred by the Constitution on the Gen
sral Government, such as the power to coin
money, to keep up armies and navies, hold in
tercourse. With foreign nations, etc which are
denied to the States, and the usurpaton of which
by q majority or any portion Of the people In a
State, or in any number Of States, Ia an act Of
secession or rebellion.
These and similar acts cannot be regarded as
the acts of State Governments, for they have 10
power as Governments to do such things. There
is, therefore, In the nature of the case, no such
thing as coerclng or Furnishing State or q
State Government for disobedience to the Fed
eral Constitution and laws. But 1t is no matter,
whether those who usurp tbe powers confided
oy the Constitution in the Federal Government,
and resist its constitutional authority, call
themselves State or confederacy, the power
to coerce, or in other words, to disperse and
punish them, is as full and perfect as though
shey we're called by any other name, and num-
bered only FIVE or six instead of az many mil

An Interesting scene 1.-TWO Brothers

his size against any the Mahaska boys could

Makaska can brag on tall men generally; and
at the moment Chadwick had measured, pri-

1 The Missouri STATE Jsarnal Of the 7sh Of
June Is pretty severe on the venerable Doctor
ELLIorr. editor Of the CArisisn Advoests at 81.
Louis. The Journal is strongly imbued with
Southern feeling, and may be clsssed as q 90
csssion paper, without doing injustice toll. Dr..
ELLIOTT. who is an aged man. and miniater In
the M. z. Church, has, In hls Advocate, publlsh'
ed some severe structures against the editor Of
the Missouri Journal, and evidently has gone .
step too far, In employing language calculated
to encourage the une Of violence toward the
editor of the Journal
We did not, however, propose In the outset
Of this article to notice the controversy a.
length, but our object In referring TO II was
simply to speak of DR.. ELLIOTT, whom we re-
member. 10 our schoolboy days, as Professor
In Madison College, at Unionsown, Pennsylva-
mia, then under the patronage Of the M. E.
Church.
Dr. ELLIOTT is known to q large number OF
our readers, and 10 conceded to be among the
most learned and pure men In the land. yiA
His course, however, on the slavery question
Is riddle that no man can solve. He was
member Of the General Conference at New
York, in 1874, when the plan of separation oi
the M. E. church, was reported to that bsdy'
and urged its adoption. The plan was adopted
and the M. E. Church divided, litteraly on the
line between the slave and free States. That
was an important and influential step leading
to our present difficulties, and Dr.. ELLIOTT
thought 1t all right and proper-nay, he said thu
division of the Church (the case Of Bishop An
DREW being the cause Of it) was not only proper
but that Il Das seripturaL Seventeen years hav'
passed away, and now we find DR.. ELLIOTT edit
ing the st. Louis Christian Advocate, and iudl-
rectly urging the maltreatment Of man wit
defends or sympathzes with plan Of separation
Of our Federal Union, upon q line drawn be-
tween the free and slave States, similar to th'
plan of division of the M. E. Church adopte'
In 1914. and defended on the Convention foo
by the Rev. Mr.. ELLIOTT. II DR.. ELriorT va
right in 1874, the editor Of the St. Louis Joarna
10 right now, and with the record Of the forme
in the General Conference in 1874, In defens
of the separation Of the Church (the secession
Of the Sou,h) we think the venerable Divip
would do as well to fill his columns with legit
innate Church news and religious miscellany, an
leave to the secular papers the discussion Of th
present vexsd questions connected with the con
dition of the country. slI f1ric

More Troops needed.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Epenias Post, 10 bis letter Of June 9th,
says;
More troops is now the universal demand Of
all unmilitsry men here. Nor do the military
authorities oppose the o.y-they simply keep
silence. The Epening Star falls In with the
popular clamor, and II any one will take the
pains to examine few facts II will be difficult
ior him to resist the conclusion that more
troops are needed In and about the capital. !
Here is group Of the facts The accounts
brought in BY the rebel forces differ greatly
even the government scouts, some OF them, run
up their number &c Manassas Junction TO thirty
thousand. and at Harper's Ferry to an equal
number. Wehave no positive knowledge Of
the number Of the enemy; the rebel leaders are
desperate men; they are unquestionably con-
cealing their numbers In the region Of Rich
mond, and are concentrating an immense force
at Manassas Junction and Harper's Ferry. The
government contemplltes an early movement
on the Junction. Suppose, upon making an
attack, IL finds an enemy there even twenty
thousand strong, well fortified In their position
by earthworks, Of course IL would not be safe
10 make an attack with less than thirty thous.
aud troops. And it would make Il unsafe to
spare that number from Washington. No risk
whatever should be incurred with the capital.
Its loss would; be such death blow that the
merest possibility Of such reverse should not
be risked. There should not be less- than l00,.
900 loyal troops between Baltimore and Msnas.
sas Junction--twenty thousand at the Relay,
Annapolis Junction, and guarding the railway
from Baltimore; forty thousand In Washington
and over on the Potomac hills, and forty thous
and for the attack on Manassas function.
These numbers would make sure thing Of the
attack, ami would inevitably give Us the rebel
force at Harper's Ferry as prisoners Of war.

that the new Uniou should never be dissolved
by any one State Or any fraction Of the Confsd
eracy, and only, II ever, 10 the same manner in
sbich II Was originally formed, by the consent
Of the whole people.
The phrase "a more periec. Union," Is pecu
ltarly significant. There had been Union
under the old "Articles Of Confederation"
which had shown itself utterly incompetent to
raise q revenue, support the public crodIt, reg
ulate trade or commerce, or provide for the
wants and safety Of the country. The great
defect 10 the old Union was that the State Gov
ernments had II In their power to obstruct and
10 many instances to defeat the measures Of
the General Government. Therefore, the peo-
pie adopted Constitution or a national and
supreme authority In place Of the old Confeder.
alton or Partnership, In order to form "a MORE
PERFEor UNION"
The Constitution fully recognizes the exis.
tence Of all the States, their Constitutions and
laws. It was, by the unanimous consent Of all
the delegates Of all the States In Convention as.
sembled, submitted to the people of the United
States. by whom TWAS ratified and adopted,
Its ratification and adoption bound alike the
people as citizens Of States and as citizens Of
one Republic. For in both capacities they had
agreed and bound themselves by the most sol
emn obligations that men can enter into, that
the Constitution should form a more perfect al
we'll as perpetual bond Of Union.
There is, by the Constitution, no more righ
Of secession than there lie Of resistance to thu
laws, or rebellion. In fact, the secession of q
State, as tits called, is nothing less than an or
gauized rebellion against the authority Of th'
Federal Government, and as such the Govern
ment is bound to disperse and punish the iadi
viduals composing 1t.
