Consumption Law Unconstitutional.

Ihe New OrK l1eTdlu VI Tue lOIu CouldiuS
the following highly important decision:
In the matter of the complaint against VIM.
L. Stephens, an enrolling officer, who arrested
Henry Biesel for an alleged resistance to the
draft, Judge McCunn is of opinion that the en-
tire act is clearly unconstitutional, for it not
only violates the rights of the people and creates
distinction among our citizens, but is in direct
contravention of the fourteenth and fifteenth
subdivisions of section eight, Of article one of
the Constitution of toe United States. The
Constitution in authorizing Congress 'to raise
and support armies provides only for the stand
ing armies Of the country, and not for the vol
unteer and temporary forces which any emer-
pency NAV demand because the fourteenth sub
division of the eighth section OF article l, au-
thorizes Congress 'to provide for calling forth
the military to execute the laws OF the Union,
suppress instructions and rebel invasions And
article IL. of the amendments provides:-'A
well regulated militia being necessary to the
security of free State. the right of the peo-
pie to keep and bear arms shall not be infrin-
ged.' And for the purpose of using this militia
force the President is not only made the COM
mander-in-chief of the army and navy of the u.
States, but also of the militia of the several
States when called into the actual service OF the
United States. And, therefore, as this Con-
scrption law does not make the force it creates
a militia force of the States, nor is it part OF
the standing armies of the United States, it is
clearly not authorized by the Constitution. The
standing army of the country could be increas-
ed by an act Of Congress, and the subdivision
referred to authorizes Congress to provide the
means for raising it; but Congress, having ne
elected to do this, the only force the President
is authorized to use, exclusive of the regular
army and navy is the militia and volunteer for
ces contributed by the several States when call
ed upon. The Judge deeply regretted that the
people had not patience and patriotism enough,
under the oper alton Of the Conscription law, to
wait until the courts had fully determined this
question; that the courts were able and equal
to the duty of sustaining the rights of the cit
izens; and it was through the courts alone that
their rights and safety in the end were fully and
properly protected.

When this Cruel War is Over.

vvuSti o11iS SsuSs " Si 10 O'N''
Dearest love, do you remember
When we last did meet,
How you told me that you loved me,
Kneeling at my feet!
Oh! how proud you stood before me,
In your suit of blue,
When you vowed to me and country,
Ever to be true.
CHoRUs-Weeping sad and lonely,
Hopes and fears how vain
When this cruel war is over,
Praying that we meet again.
When the summer breeze is signing,
Mournfully alone,
Or when autumn leaves are falling,
Sadly breathes the song;
Oft in dreams l see thee lying
On the battle plain,
Lonely, wounded, even dying,
Calling, but in vain.
CHoRUs-Weeping, sad and lonely, &c.
If amid the din of battle,
Nobly you should fall,
Far away from those who love you,
None to hear you call,
Who would whisper words of comforti
Who would soothe your pain?
All! the many cruel fancies
Ever in my brain.
CHoRUs-Weeping, sad and lonely, &c.
But our country called you, darling,
Angels cheer your way,
While our nations sons are fighting,
We can only pray;
Nobly strike for God and Liberty,
Let all nations see,
How we love the starry banner,
Emblem of the free
CHoRus-Weeping, sad and lonely, &C..

Here is sermon in nutshell. A whole

speaks louder than words, and the more
simple the act the more eloquent the ap-
peal. That is true eloquence, whether of

suades. A great deal is said and written

practical value. Beautiful speculations
