EXPULSION OF SENATOR BKIGHr.-Every
Democratic paper We have received from
the East, and even some Republican jour
mails, say Bright was expelled solely on
party grounds. The Boston Post says,
Party hue and cry proved fatal to Sena-

Ger. staunch Union paper, remarkable
for its fairness and conservatism, exposes,
in clear terms, the injustice and incOnsis-
tency Of the Senate'S action. Sumner,

ted for his expulsion. The Judiciary
Committee Of the Senate. composed exclu'
siveIy Of Bright's opponents, reported in
his favor; but neither facts nor arguments
could silence party clamor. Nominal
Democratic papers Of California unite
with their Republican brethren in praising
the Senate for expelling him. What fur

HAsN'r ACCOMPLISHED ITS MISSION
The Albany Erening Journal says that
the Republican party has not yet accom-
pliEhed its mission. The assertion is true,
a. the country knows to its SORROW and
modification. That sectional organization,
says the LOckpOrt (N. w. .idrertiser, has
not yet entirely ruined the country, and
we presume that so long as there is bit
of country left to ruin, it will not have
accomplished its mission. When the Ne
ton becomes hopeleSsly bankrupt, as it
soon will under Republican rule, and there
10 not dollar in the treasury to steal,
then ''OtheIlO's OccupatiOn's gone, and the
emission Of the Republican party" may
be considered accomplished" Came
ron, Welles, Morgan, Fremont & Co, are
not satisfied, just yet, to rest from their
swindling operations.

Is THERE CONSTITUTION ?-The New

authority with its party. Seward says
there is higher law" than the Consti.

New York Journal Of Commerce rejoins
TO the Tribune's attack upon it, by putting
to Greeley the following pertinent ques.

"But why not drop the practice of calling
the SOutheTners rebels and traitors, or why
not adopt the name for themselves: Rebels

o.
The New York Journal Of Commerce
discusses the subject Of Bills Of AttaiOder
In an able article informed by the true
spirit. We reproduce the opening and
the closing paragraphs Of the article -
"Shall the Constitution Of the United
States, says our contemporary in the for.
meT, "abide in the land, the terror Of evil
doors, and the praise Of ell good menI-
That, after All, is the question, and the
whole question before US. The men Of
one idea, who ask whether we prefer
slavery to the Union, have either no con.
ceptiOn Of the true issue, o. have never
answered their own question to their own
hearts. IT the war is to result in an un-
constitutional "wiping out" Of slavery,
then the result is the destruction of the
Constitution and the Union. We are no
defenders of slavery because we defend
its constitutional rights IL we demand
jury trial for murderer when others
would lynch him, are we defenders Of
murder? The citizen ceases to he loyal
when he advocates lynch law on q small
scale or on n grand scale" This is the
retOrt logical. We commend it to such
radicals as are honest in their rndicalism.
1t il plain" our contemporary says, in
conclusion, "that an Act of COnHscation
or q Bill of Attainder would create per-
petual source of THE present con.
troversy being ended. the Courts would
declsne- u unconstitutional and void, all
titles to property given under il would
fail, the Government would be itself una.
BILE to hold any that it had taken, the
States would be coPFeI2s~' e I'D their
citizens IN recovering property If any had
been removed, and the complications arr
sing would be countless, and would lead
to lasting enmity. Treat your enemy as
if he might one day be your friend, is
eminently the motto for this war. II the
Union is to be restored, its future glory
will depend on the fact that it has been
restored by the strong arm Of the COnsti.
tuition and the law. If the attempt at
restoration is to be carried on with acts Of
cOnfiscation, prOclamations Of emancipa.
ton, and oa1er proceedings, which, in
stead Of being the acts Of our cOnstltu-
! tiOnal Government, are but acts Of an in.
ceDsed an indignant people, and il by
these means we should conquer the re.
belliop, we shall find OurSeEes ah@o 'b,.
war is over, standing among the ruins of
our Republic; and xhere the noblest fab,
Tie Of buRaa9 GoA~-rnirraa' 6""- s.oAd& 49,
shalt behold around us only its shattered
remai0s, cat Of which the generations to
come will find it impossible to even imag-
inc the former splendor. We beseech
gentlemen in Washington to regard these
truths Let US save the Constitution
II it can be carried on its triumphant
course over the present obstacles, it will
be forever hereafter the rallying point for
the hopes Of all nations, strengthened,
purified, and glorifed by its sublime vic
tory" We need not tell our readers that
we second this just and stirring exhorta.

A FATE TO SHUDDER Ar.-Wm. D. Kin
Yin was convicted in Michigan, lately, of
a murder marked by very atrOciOus cir
cumstanccs. In accordance with the law
of the State, he was taken to the State
Prison, there to endure solitary confine-
ment for life. From the time he enters
his cell he will never see face again. His
meals are conveyed to him through an
opening in his cell, and when it becomes
necessary for human beings to approach
him, they are hooded SO as to conceal
their features. Might not this be justly
termed living death'
