/ THE GoEERNMEAw -,s .
We hare entertained the idea and in
dulged the precious hope that our GoEern-
nent would stand through ali time an-
changed and unchaDgeabie. Bot accord
ing 20 Ghe views of some politieiana We
have already had RiaSls<R GsVsgnmsnts
since the Constitution, that ID We have
had thai many Administration, and there
are men in this country who claim that
the ADMINISTRATION ia she Government. T"
Now if that thsoFy be correct, instead OF
car government hslng enc Of perBAn eney
and durability, it undergoes q change in
form every four years, or on the accession
| Of a President to ofhce. The President
and the hsmas Of ths Dsp&xtmsass sousti.
sase tha Administration Mr.. Lin
/ coin. Mr. Seward, Ar. Chase, Mr.. Blair,
/ Mp. Wells, Mr.. ssanloa aRd Mr. Saith
I are the Government.
According TO the Constitution the Pres
ident il nothing but an officer, and the
| heads Of departments are bic constitution
al advisers. Now if tho Constitution ID
the supreme Law of the land, mere off,
Ger provided for BY thai instrument, and
the men appointed By him cannot be the
Government. The idea that the peoTle
elect their Government every fOuE years,
ia so Supremacy ridiculous as to prejudict
the possibility of al intelligent man fall
ing into such an error, unless he desired
the subversion of the Constitution. Or
the process Of reasoning adopted by tbs
radicals to prove that tAe "Ailninistrs-
ton ID the GoYernm ent," it may With tbs
same propriety be said that the 6overnol
and State officers are the State, that tbs
county Judge and county OEhesrs are the
county. Was there eys< any theory 81
miserably absurd and yes there are pa-
aers 10 this State and ether portions oi
Il The Union which contend that the SAD
: ministrasion Is really the Government.
The object Of those VINO contend for thi,
ridiculous doctrine is to sti6e free speech
and destroy the independence OF the press
in plain pArlance it amounts 10 SHis--ths
citizen mtlHt not critieise or find fault will
the acts of the President and his sdviseri
because by so doing he renders himself
amenabIe to the Governments. Suppos,
Daniel Webster and Heary Clay had beer
told thai they must not aenounGe the ad
ministratIsu of jackson, Van BareB ant
, Polk, for the reason it was regarded a.
eppositiou TO, and al attack on the Gov
eTnmsus. And suppose the Republican
: and Abolitionists bad besn &dmoished no
to oensure the Administration Of Mr.
Buchanan for the same reason, what |
howl OF bitter indignation woala hayI
rang through tho land, amd very justly TO
Z for there 10 no doubt but what each O
those administrations aommitted error
: that were justly subjsct TO sritieiam. -
. And While We intend TO defend and sustain
Mr. Lin0aln In all legal and constitution
al measures to suppress the rebellion, an
, La every other act pertaining TO his ofkee
= We do 1t, not because his Adminlstratio
Is the Government, but because be Is
legally constituted executiTe officer, 50

mesa to aid him in the performance c
