HAYTT RECOENTXED.

Old conservatism is getting many hard
knocks in these times, as it goes hobbling
groaningly along in the wake Of the pro-.
grcss Of our age. Here now is a republic
Of niggers recognized as a nation by the
United States, and these blacks ad-
mitted into the charmed circle Of
governments Is there no rebuke in this
recognition, to cur own home system !?
These blacks once in their not very remote
ancestry enjoyed the advantages Of the
same connection and relations to the white
race so gently and carefully conserved by
our pro oslavery Generals. But they fell
from the grace Of cha1telhood to the IN
poetic and commonplace relation ofsocietY

There seems to be an impression pre-
yailing to certain extent, that our repre-
sentative in Congress, Hon !. N. Arnold,
voted IN the House for the postponement
Of the Bankrupt Bill. We have taken the
pains to obtain the facts in the case. In
the House Of Representatives, OH the 4th

bill:

-KENosHA, Wis, juno 9, 1862
Editors Chicago Tribune:
Thousands and tens OF thousands of men
are anxious to aid our army in making in
trenchments, and otherwise; aud yet, while
every division Of the army is suffering, and
rendered comparatively inefficient for the
want Of such help, we will not accept Of it.
These men will work for their subsistence;
and yet we pay others three times as much
for the same service.
They are acclimated to the hot climate Of
the South, and We get unacclimated men, and
have steamer load after steamer load Of sick
crowding all Of the hospitals of tic county.
They are rugged and used to severe toll, and
VIC get clerks and men accustomed to ex-
posures like those of camp life.
They are on the ground, and will come
themselves where they are needed; I'VE
pay millions Of dollars to transport others
there.
It would bea boon to them to DO the work,
and We induce others to do it, Who make
great sacrifices thereby.
All OF these men are now at work for the
enemy and wish to leave him and work for
us; but we virtually compel them to continue
to work for the enemy.
NC VIII weaken the enemy by taking lis
horses and cattle, but We will nat take his
slaves, although thereby he would be much
more weakened.
We claim that BIZ conscription We can com
pei any loyal person to serve his country in
the army; and yet we dare not accept the
services Of the slaves of the enemy yoiuntari-
II rendered.
The relation Of master and slave is the
cause Of the war; and yet we will not permit
that relation to be sundered in any instance
where We can prevent it
Our enemy has another enemy, more nuu,er-
ous than he is; and yet we are SO Quixotic
that We will not permit bin to to be injured
by any one except ourselscs-no matter what
sacrifices of treasure aad life it costs US.
Our entmy has continued to practice upon
| Us every cruelty, treacbers aud barbarity and
| yet we decline to use an efficient appre epriatc
and legitimate defense, fearing lest we should
| initiate the enemy.
No wonder the shareholders think We ere
fit to be ruled, like the poor white trash about
them. Q, mudsi1l! how long will you have
mud in your brain? O, Democrat! how long
| will you criDge to the aristocrat? 0, lover Of
liberty how long will Son consider the Claim
Of the master to his slave, more sacred than
I'll otLer rights? o, patriot! how many pre-
cious lives Of loyal men shall be sacrificed be-
tore you will dare assert your rights? Let Us
not deny our stupidity, our degradation aud
our moral co #arl!ce. The putrid atmosphere
Of the slave pen las discussed us all.

these, Whcn it would seem that the utmost
yigilence we're needed to preserve all our an
cient rights, SO fearfullJ imperrilled in the
midst Of the violence aud distractions Of the
timea.
l. The proposed constitution practically
dishauchises at least 100000 citizens
Of the northern half Of the State, by
the 1niquitous and partisan appointment Of
members Of assembly which it makes among
the several counties, while the apportionment
Inv Ct the last Legislature makes 2 rea5ona-
bly, fair distribution of the members. The
old Is better than the new.
S. The proposed constitution, unEisely, in
/ my judgment, cuts down the term Of Office of
the governor from fonr to three years-and
its edQItje1Eas, ca1lse the removal Of the
Pfts6t Governor, whose activity and zeal in
efforts to sustain the national government in
its mighty struggles with a rebellion, the
most infamous since tha fall Of Lucifer, have
endeared him to all loyal hearts in the COM
nonwealth, but we1e Of themselves sufficient
cause Of hatred and calumny to the scmi-seces-
6ionistE, who controlled the convention, and
who ardent1y desire his disgrace and over
throw.
g. The adoption Of the poroposed constitu-
ton would Involve our whole State in heat
ed political contest, over the e1ection Of State
officers to be held under it, in November, and
at q time when all the energies Of our State
authorities and people ought to be directed to
| support Of the national administration,
| and the destruction Of rebels and the rebellion
| We have no time for such political battles as

invite Us to. The cause Of cur country de,
mands al the strength and resources We have
tosspare.
/ Z. All secession. s31npatAiees:s and 7e5s2 apozo
| 1fsts ere IN favor Of the new constitution
therefore all loyal and true men ought to be
| opposed to it.
| I have thus given to you, my fellow-citizens
a few reasons why oppose the new con=titu
ton. I might giiye many more, but I have al
ready exceeded the limits intended in this com
municatien.

navy in time Of peace, nor regulate com
merce, nor form treaties with foreign pow
ers or with other States. AL these pre-
negatives are necessary to sovereign indie:
pendencc, Moreover. We have already
shown that the Federal Government has
authority to exercise power no: :"expressly"
delegated to it; but only delegated by fair
inference, implication, and the necessities
Of the case. On no construction less liberal
than this could tue Government be main
tained.
Again, our proposed Constitution de-
clares that the people Of Illinois shall Tor
ever enjoy and exercise every power not
5y them expressly delegated to the General
Government Now, it is very certain that
the people Of Illinois did never, through
their State organization, or in any separate
or distinct capacity, delegate to the
General Government any power at
sn; that none Of its prerogatiycs
are derived from the STAKES; but from
the Constitution. which was the produc-
ton Of the t0Aole peep2e in their sovereign
capacity. We doubt whether 50 much
that is absurd, foolish, contradic-
tory and mischieyous, was ever before
crowded into so small a compass as thus
thirtieth section.
Our government is founded On the idea
Of the original sovereignty Of the people Of
the whole nation, not Of the separate
States. From the people alone all the
States and national rights spring, and all
reserved rights are reserved to them. This
pretended jealousy Of central power is a
sham. 1t is not Jealousy for the rights
Of the people; but 8 mean hostility to
their equal representation in the popular
branch Of Congress, Il is desire to set
up against theirpower and so7ereignties an
oligarchy Of State sovereignties. The doc.
t1ine Of State "rights'' has never been in
voked to protect the rights Of the people
but only to increase tile usurped power o.
domineeIing caste.

REPED11TING THE FEDERAL.
CONSTITUTION.

In the second article of the proposed
Constitution Of Illinois, there is direct
and intentional conflict with both the let
ter and spirit Of the Federal Constitution.
The old Articles Of Confederation ordained
that each State should retain all the powers
(which are not By this Confederation e.
1'rsesly delegated to the Unitel States"
The Convention which drafted the Federal
Constitution wholly omitted this article.
The State Of New Hampshire proposed IS
an amendment an article containing the
words, "not ezPress}y and particularly dcze-
gated" The italiciscd words were stricken
out Of the tenth article Of the adopted
amendments. But the thirtieth section Of
the second article Of our proposed State
Constitution replaces the rejected phrase,
"ezwessIy.'
, It will be seen at 4 glance that the inser-
ton Of this wcrG materially changes the
meaning of the clause. "Not expressly
delegated" means, not delegated in express
teords- But Not delegated" means, not
delegated ct all, either by express words,
by fair inference, By implication, By the
objects of the Constitution, or by tue
necessities Of the case. This gives Con
g1ess a much wider scope than if confined
to the powers delegated to it in express
zroTds IS under the Articles Of Confedera-
tion. And such was The avowed intention
Of the men who framed an instrument
designed to create a more "pertcct union :"
between the people Of the Republic. The
Articles Of Confederation had proved q
failure, because they had not invested tho
National Government with power enough
TO command the obedience of the States,
or the respect Of foreign nations. The
choice lay between one supreme sovereign
power and prosperity, and 1iIointed
league OF independent sovereignties and
anarchy. The people wisely chose to re-
move the State barriers which separated
them, and to assume absolute control of
all matters in which they had e. com
mon interest. This resolve they carried
out in adopting the Federal Cons,it,,.
