VIOLATIONS or THE CONSTR.
TUITION.

TUITION.
II Is worthy q remark that tie clei
cause Of complaint among ll,r seeessioEists
ai The South, and their sympaibizers At ihe
North, is the alleged violation Of ihe con
sti,ulion committed BY the administration
10 their laudable eiToiis 10 sustain and SUP
port the government How men wis arc
doing their utmost 10 destroy The govern.
menI aud 10 rend IN pieces orr glorious
constitution can have tie audacily 10 prt-
nounce ise acts Of the President unc0u-
siituiional, Is indeed incomprchcnsible.
When the President entered upon is
duties as chief magistrate Of the nation, he
found an armed rebellion proc'aiming The
purpose Of oyerthrowing the government.
Their armies were moving towards tie
capital itself 10 meet this exigency the
troops were called out to defend the cap
iial. We are confident that the course OF
the President in 50 doing was fully sus
tanned by every good citizen Of the repub
lie. Had he neglected 50 TO DO, he would
not only have violated bis oath rs preser
yer Of the consi tuition, but would have
justly merilcd the cxccraiion Of an OUT
ragged people. In some instances the
President has found il necessary in order
TO suppress The rebellion, and to insure
the quiet administration Of laws in some
sections, TO proclaim martial law, and with
il the suspension Of the writ of haJea
corpus. This was also measure which
the necessities of the times demanded.
II has been found necessary IN some IN
stances TO suppress the publication Of GER
tain journals which were constantly spread
ing their traitorous pestilence among the
people, and doing no little TO weaken and
impede the government in is efforts at
seli-preservation. This, too, is step
which We believe viii meet the approba-
ton Of good citizens everywhere. Ii is a
motto worthy Of remembrance in these
times that tll. safety Of the republic is the
supreme law. .Salas respsJiice supreme
ier. Those measures which in time Of
peace would be reprchensibe and unjust,
become in war absolute and necessary du-
ties. The President, as preserver Of tie
Constitution and Government, is neeessa-
rily clothed with certain discretionary
powers, which il becomes his duty to use
as the exigencics of the case demand. If.
the publication Of traiiorous journals are
found to seriously weaken and endanger F.
the government, il is undoubtedly his du.
ty as a military necessity, TO suppress
their publication. This is a course which I
we believe would be pursued by every
civilized government, and which is also
in accordance with the fundamental prin-
ciples Of government itself The loyalty
Of those who are 50 ready to proclaim the |
unconstitutionality Of the acts Of the Pres
ideni, may well be suspected. We trust
that the time Is not far distant when trai-
torous efforts TO destroy the government
and overthrow the Constitution will be
found TO be not only more unconstitutional
but more criaaiaai than honest eiiolts for
their preservation.

Bishop Hughs has openly cspoused the

fault cannot be in the church. We ascribe
it to the influence of their leaders Ham.
