FROM ALBANY.
ALBANY, Wednesday, Jan. l6, 1861.

the Hon. Thomas Hillhouse. The report enters some
wi at extensively into history OF the Generl Govern
meut show ing first by examination OF the articles
Of confederation that that form Of organization was
detective as the Government had no adequate power
to enforce its own lave, or TO perpeuate It's existence
Mr. Hillhouse then examines the debates OF the Con
yentiop which met in l7o7 to frame the present Con-
stution and shows from those debates that the Con
yen,ion undertook 10 establish Government resting |
on the consent Of the peopie instead Of that OF the
separate States-a Government which should be per-
peuated, aud whose authority should be paramount
TO that of the States. He then shows from an |
examination of the Constitution iren thaI tIe
and in 70 doing took away by the consent ofzhe peo
pie represented in that Convection, all power ana
shadow of power Of State secession IA constitutional
right II then follows as matter OF course, that &C.
ossion not being constitutional right, becomes re-
b, lion revolution. The night OF revolution, az
last resort is recognized but candid examination Of
the grievances Of which the reecllods States complain,
shows that they not of character which, IN The
Judgment Of the civilized world, will by any means
Justify resort to revolution. The report then m
fists that the General Government should suppress the
seces ion movement and enforce IL authority, peace
ably if il can, forcibly il il must.
