limitations and provisions of the Constitution
That is what is to show that our Constitution is
competent to the trial, and nothing short OF that.
If when this occasion arises, we are compelled to
resort TO means which, in effect, are the means
used by stronger Governments, our experiment is
a failure. If we are constrained to call up, in
woke and put in exercise in any one depart
ment of the GOvernment-t Is Immaterlal in
what department of the Government-more
of power, more of force than the Con-
sttution provides, or than is limited by
that Constitution-the moment we do that,
or constrained from supposed
necessities to do t, we acknowledge before the
world that our Institutions are insuficiently
founded. and that we after all compelled, in
the period OF trial, to resort to the force which,
they say, Is necessary to the existence of a ma
ton, and our experiment is failure. We shoald,
therefore, particularly in period like this,
fully study and sacredly regard all the limitations
and provisions of the Constitution. Ii is vain
and idle in us to war against part of our people
because they have made war upon this Govern
ment, if we at the same time have to sap the
foundations of the Government by stabbing
through the vitals of the Constitution"
These are words of wise and solemn counsel.
1t is reproaeh to the temper of the times that
they should need to be uttered, much less defend
ed and enforced by argument or entreaty. They
belong to the fundamental conceptions of repub-
lican government, and TO confound what Mr..
JeIiers )n was accustomed to call "the sacro-
sanct observance of the Constitution" with
sympathy for rebels" is to indulge in mere
passionate invective, and to evince a per-
version of ideas only less deplorable than the
absence of logic confessed by such an accusation;
for If rebels in disguise seeking to defend the
insurgents behind the ramparts of the COnsttu-
ton, let it be shown that there are no such de-
fences in the Constitution as they aege. Ii the
'ramparts" really exist, let there be no attempt
to scale them in order to inflict a "wild Justice
ON the enemy behind them Our safety, equally
with our honor. binds US to the rigid and faithful
observance of that greet charter which is at once
the sword and the shield of the embatted Repub-
lie = UTab0sb TufeIfi0onrer

More ThievIng.

Dispatches from Washington contain the fol.
lowing additional evidence of thieving in BLES-
KER's division:
The military authorities to-day secured several
thousand dollars worth of Government arms and
goods, secreted in buildings IN the city, and ad-
dressed to Quartermaster in Blenker's division
There were immense quantities of clothing
boxes of Springfield muskets of pattern hard to
obtain. of officers swords. shoes, &C., showing
that very extensive swindling and theving oper
ations have been going on for some time.
Most of the articles were marked for the 9Th
New York German regiment, and, when the au
thorites removed the freight in wagons. large
crowds gathered TO witness.
The discovery has created quite sensation
and adds another to the long list of charges
against Blenker's division.

whether all the correspondence between this

the rights of neutrals aud belligerents on the
ocean, called up By Senator Summers reso-

Enough will be made public. however, TO
show that Russia. Spain. and the smaller

yate property is guaranteed the same iminu-
nifty ON the ocean, as on land. That France
IL not far behind them, and that Great Bri-
tain alone despite her recent cham, iorship
on neutral rights stands by her old prece-
dents. The publication will, without doubt,
contribute 10 the success OF a movement ia

land. The earliest letters date bach TO 1856,

Some of the ablest in the collection are from
Mr.. Mason. the predecessor of Faulkner
Mr.. Pickens' dispatches from St. Petersburg,

made public.
The whole subject will probably be dis
cussed when the resolution is answered.
The Sub Committee of Ways and Means
are engaged in proposing a general tax bill
which will be tho basis Of a national cur
rency. The Committees idea is to raise

Extra Session OF the Michigan Legis
iature.


DETROIT. Jan. 3.--An extra session of the
Michigan Legislature convened at Lansing,
Yesterday. The Governors Message sug-
gests a liquidation of the direct Federal tax
by releasing the Federal Government from
reimbursing the State on account of war ex-
penses TO An equal amount ~. 900 men have
been furnished by Michigan for the war of
which ten regiments for three years one bat
terry of artillery, and one regiment of three
months volunteers nave been raised at the
expense of the State casting $539, DOC of
which s$92, 900 has been refunded by the u.
>. Government.
In view of the manifest disposition of for.
eign powers to intermeddle in our domestic
affairs, he recommends that provision be
made for the organization and uniform of the
militia to constitute an active force, and the
speedy enrolment. to be subject to draft at
any time, and while not favoring the erection
Of extension Of extensive Notifications he adj
vises the Legislature to urge upon Congress
the immediate necessity of establishing at
some convenient point in the northwest an
arsenal and mandatory of munitions of war,
and also a naval station to be located in
Michigan, as being most advantageous, both
from the extent of her coast and unrivalled
resources for ship building. In abiding to
national affairs, he attributes our compiled
tons abroad and trouble at home to the mac
tiyity Of the army, and says the people will
not tamely submit to see our armies used to
protect the slave property OF rebels when the
most active means should be taken to sup
press the rebellion, sparing nothing, and
apologising to nobody for our actions.
