L" sacred, projecting mantle Of Constitutional
Law! Pray you. let it alone :"
Now. if Tucker of WiscasSet will find any
thing like this in the Constitution, he shall
have our old copy of the Hickey edition, with
other Gifts from us too numerous to mention.
1t can't be done. Even Tucker can't DO H.
Ii is mt there. Neither can "Sweat OF Port
Gland" who, "taking his stand upon the Con-
" stltution, nobly fought this Abolition scheme
fird ANYTHING of the kind in the document he
stood on For wby' Because, we say IL
is MT there. But if 4. & S. will examine this
same poor, neglected Constitution, SO mucn
rayed of, and so little read, they will find that
"Treason against the United States shall con-
"sist only in lcvying war against them, or IN
"Gdheyiue to their enemies I" Now, don't
tremble in your boots, Mr.. Tucker! Perspire
not with fear, Mr. Sweat! The moral way in
which YOU "adhere' is mt dangerous. Read on,
and YOU will find in the very next clause, these
words: "CONGREss SHALL HAVE POWER TO
"DECLARI TIE PUNISHMENT or TREASON"
Here it is, all as plain as small armOry OF
pike-stafls. The excellent COnstitut;on-we
too, strange as it may appear to Tucker,
Sweat a. Co., have an affection for it-deiines
Treason aud leaves its punishment to the
statutes-if death, why then death, and II
confiscation, why then confiscation, with no
reservation that we or any other man can dis
cover, in favor of property Of the biped de-
scription, If the Rebels in arms commit the
ofIen.c, they should, they must, unless mercl-
fully pardoned, suffer the peDaty-an igno-
minious death aud forfeiture OF their goods.
There is no qualifying clause in the Constlt'i-
ton which says that they shall 40 suffer,
- provided said suffering shall be- agreeable to
3. Nessrs. Tucker Il Sweat of the State of
=. Maine" At least if there be such clause,
we have ut been able, after dlligent search,
b. lind it.
In the old times OF Scottish treason, before
going out for the Pretender, the Jacobltes were
to transfer their estates, to keep
them from the Kings clutch, in She event OF
defeat Upon this hint, We would suggest that
prudent Rebels in Virginia cannot do better
than 10 send 10 Messrs. Sweat n Tucker bills
Of sale of all their "niggefs IL hive aud to
" hold" &c. We suppose, after the war IS
over, both gentlemen can be relied upon to re-
convey; and the only difficulty in this scheme
which occurs to Us, is, that before the war s
over, it may be found necessary to confscate
the "niggers" even 10 these Down-East hands.

Member who does not show to the satisfaction
Of his constituents that he did his utmost 10
resist and terminate this shameful procrastlnn-
ton. Eleven weeks have now elapsed since
Congress met, with u great war on hand and
tho bottom Of the Treasury staring the Mem
bers full in the face; five weeks have flown by
4 nee the date a, which Secretary Chase sea-
,onably notified them that h. should be en-.
irely out of money unless they meantime pro-
ided n fresh supply. This day hundreds Of
thousands are suffering from want or submit
ting to be hceced by usurers because Congress
has not vet perfected even the Loan bill that
should have been passed at least six weeks ago.
Others may deem this iustifable; we consider
it rank dishonesty, beside giving aid and com.
iort to armed treason. Let the votes OF every
Member be closely scrutinized, aud let every
one who voted to adjourn over LAY By day,
instead Of putting through the Treasury Relief
bill, have leave TO stay at home ever more.

UNION LEGIsLArIvE CAucus.---In answer to . call signed by about 100 members of the Leg
 islature, about l50 members met 1.-the Repre-
 sentatives' Hall oneevening last week, to consult upon the propriety and best method of eonsolida- ting all the Union element in the State, without regard to old parties. Gen. Pratt was appointed
 Chairman, and Mir. Green of Prospect, Secretary. A long discussion took place as to the proper
 way of amalgamating all the Unionists, in which most of the prominent members of the House took part. Mir. Catlin of Harwinton, moved
 that 3 Committee be appointed to prepare an ad-
 dress and resolutions, to be presented to future
 meeting, and if adopted, to be issued to the peo- pie. Mir. Train, of Milford, moved as substi-
 tute, . resolution raising Committee to consid- CT the propriety of recommending to the people
 the formation of new political organization, and if deemed proper, to prepare an address to the
 public. Mr. Catlin accepted the substitute, and
 it was adopted.
