The Gcvernment-What ia Ita

Is 1t not strange thing, that at this
late period of our history, this inquiry
should be deemed at all necessary !
Every one CAPABLE of reading ought to
be able to understand If. and vet. there
are those among US who seem to have very
confused and undefiuet notions of what the
government really is. Briefly expressed
1t Is the CONSTITUTION aud the LAWS made
IN pursuance thereof, the le.r srrissa oftbe
statute books, which may be- seen, and read
and understood of al. men. Nothing ;s
left in d0ibt or obscurity The thret.fold
nature OF our government. in its legisla-
tive. executive and judicial departments
is clearly defined. with the powers. du,ies
and limits Of each. Not the legislature
not the executive, not the judiciary, sing
ly and alone, constitute the goyer;,ment
but all these cnmhined. aud all deriving
their existence from and being controlled
by the constitution and the laws. Pro-
perly administered, these several dcpart-
tnents agree and l,ar;nnnize with each either

BY the result of the election of Tuesday
the State gives the semblance of symr.athy y
with the Black Republican party. But
The triumph is ureal. aud should not be
accepted As an indorsement of the war poll
cy of the Administration. When the con-
rention at Albany thrust war resolution
,pon the Democracy. it planted the germ
of dissatisfaction and apathy, and stifed
the impulse that would otherwise have
created ardor and enthusiasm. We pro-
tested al the time against the introduction
OF that element Of diseord into the canvass.
We implored the convention to adopt a
platform that would appeal to the sirong
ftelings or the masses, and cancel the
chilling influence of equivocal doctrines
snd half principles. IL is boldnrss and
decision Of opin,ou(p+hat eiectrifes the
ntilutudes. They shrink instinctiyely
from that miserable partisau policy which
seeks to accomsnsdate itself to conflicting
theories, aud loses its identity an none
.enlnpiications and uncertainties. The
Bisck Republicans have acquired vitality
aud secured an impassioued adherence |
hy the fearless preclsn,atiou Of doctrines. |
wflscsl. however absurbed. are ailuriur iu,l
ih,.ir intensity and fxedaess of purposc.
Although they mean wrong, they mean
s''nething. and their disciples have q

col"rs. and stirred its followers to action.

been bewihiered. di<pirited and disgu.ted
~ the attempt Of timid organizations to
hsrmenize discordant sentiments. and they
were led to the political battle without
rally'ng cry to stimulate, or a principle
to nerve them.
II is. perhaps, for the best that. under
the circumstances, the Empire Ssste far

Black Rrpublicanism. Defeat will teach
the Drin'cracy to be more thrifty with the =

The Archiuke makes two conditions
to his acceptance. but both are easily sat

shall ratify the election of tho Council of
Notabl"s. That this will be given. none
can doubt who have observed the n,aoifes-

already given. The other condition has
special reference to the menacing attitude
OF the United States upon this subject.
J The threats of Seward, SD effective in
London. only serve to afford mirth at the
Iuileries. Austria will, of. course. stand
by the Prince of the House of Hapsburg,
with all her resources. Leopold, of Bel

Italy, Spain and the other Powers OF Eu-

the great security to the new Empire will
consist in the bulwark interposed by the
