their hostility 10 the Government. Rather than
there should be possibility nf such renewal, Mr..
Blake believes we should improve the present op-
yurtuni.y, forever to destroy slavery. EmAnoipA-
ton, in his opinion, should be the war cry. The
rebels by their violation of all law, and act OF re-
blllion have forfeited their rights to State Govern
ments, and they should be placed in a state OF
pupagc, until the loyalty Of those districts occu-
pied by them should be fully restored.
Mr. Blake is a true high soued American. No
compromise which promises less than full un-
conditional return to featy by the rebels viii ever
receive his vote. He is an influential business
member of the House, speaks seldom, then but
briefly, and always to the purpose. H. is respect
ed for his sterling honesty and irnness, and among
the members of lis party is a general favorite.
He is rather under than above the usual size -
has a pleasant countenance, and n frank, genial
manner. There has never been anything in his
moral political history, Of which his constituents
or State need feel ashamed, but much insboth wor-
thy Of emulation.
As a specimen Of the business character Of the
man, we append the following extract rrrm an i'm
prompu speech delivered by him, under the five
minutes rule, upon the passage Of the Treasury
Note Bill:
That the Congress Of the United States can ex-
ercisc only those powers which are delegatcdO by the
Constitution, is proposition not to be ceutrovert-
cd but it is equally true that there are mpltsd as
we'll as express powers, and that the former as
etctullly delegated the latt r. Then there are re-
sulting powers under the Constitution. If the Uni
ted States should obtain the island Of Cuba by con-
quest or treaty, they would have sovereign iurs-
dction over the territory. This would be result
OF the whole mass Of the powers of the Govern
ment, and more from the nature Of political society
than as consequence Of either of the powers
specially given in the Constitution.
t. make Treasury notes q legal tender, is but an
exercise Of the so ercign powcruf the nation, and
the authority TO do SO is as clearly given by the
implied powers Of The Con titutiun as the express
pow er is given to CON mun.y and regulate the
value thereof" Congress is expressly authorized
"to raise AMI support armies ; " "to provide aud
mlint nlyy;" " provilc for calling frth!the
militia tn execute the laws Of the Union, suppress
instructions, and rcpel invasiCn :" to provide fer
organizing, armiug, and disCipljnup the militia;
ana then to make all laws which shall he neccs-
sary and proper for carrying intN execution the
foregoing powers, and all other powers vested Ivy
this Constitute II in the GovyTm mt OF the United
States, or in any department. or oilicpr thereof"
The implied powers of the Constitution, it mus.
b. conceded, are as mpletc'y delegated as those
which are expressed; und 1t tuiows as luCic,
sequence, that the power of Congress 70 make
/ Treasury notes legal tender may well be inn
piled as any other thing, and may rs well be en-
| uloycd as means of CARRYING into execution any
of the specified powers of the Constitution as any
! other means whatever The only question to be
