letter from the army Of the Potomac says that for
some days an address been widely circulated through
the army soliciting ten cent subscription for amemoral
Of esteem 10 be presented to Mr Gen Mcclellan Par
ties who subscribed had their money returned to them
Yesterday and were informed that the design had been
abandoned
The annexed circular explains the matter. The sub
scripton il s stated almost universal in the army
Of the Potomac but the pressure from the War Depart
men was strong against it that it had to be suspended
Gen. Meade headed the list with twenty dollars han

The object Of the proposed testimonial from the army
Of the Potomac Msor General Mcclellan having been
mconstrued, and the proceeding being considered az
contrary t. army regulations, it deemed proper for
these reasons by many who have united it, to proceed
further in the matter.

published Wednesday elegraphic despatch from Pbila

MARYLAND POLITICS.

As Maryland is the parent State from whose
side the District Of Columbia was taken, we natu-
rally feel more vivid and immediate interest in
her political affairs than in those of any other
State, and therefore bestow upon them a larger
space in our columns. Accordingly the reader
will find in another part of to-day's Intelgencer q
copy of the address issued by the Hon. CHARLES
B. CALVERT, en- able, Independent, and efficient
member of the last House of Representatives, an
nouncing himself to the voters of the Fifth Con-
gressonal District of Maryland as a candidate for
reelection. Like all that proceeds from Mr.. CAL
vert this letter will be found to bear the marks Of
frankness and courage in the enunciation of his
opinions, and, if taken in connexion with the hon.
orabe manner in which he discharged his repre-
sentative functions during the last Congress, will
90 far to establish his claim to the continued con-
fdeuce Of all in the district who wish to combine
in their Representative the quality of indepen-
dence with firm and unswerving support of the
Government in all constitutional measures looking
t, the maintenance of the rghtful authority of the
Government over the Insurgent States.
It is known that Mr.. Calvert has two competi-
tors-one supported the candidate of so-called
"Union Convention" lately assembled at Bladens-
burg, and the other being nominee Of the Demo-
cratic party. A respectful petition addressed by
the latter to the President of the United States
will be found elsewhere in to-day's paper.

presses h0shties, acquires title but merely
gains the possession of which had been temporarily de
prived The nation acquires new sovereignty, bu
merely to maintain its precious rights"
This logic seems to us unanswerable, and il
dries up completely the fountain of power which
Mr.. Sumner seeks to find in the jus Jelli
1t is left to consider the only remaining foun
tain. This he discovers in that clause of the
Constitution which provides that "the United
States shall guaranty to every State an this Union
republican form Of government and shall pro.
tect each Of them against invasion" But does
not Mr. Sumner perceive that this very clause ex-
cludes his whole theory by rendering it impossible?
How can Congress guaranty to "susry State IN
this Union republican form Of government"
when, according to Mr.. Summers views, certain
States have ceased to exist as States This clause
of the Constitution, if nothing else were found in
that instrument, would be fatal to his doctrine
And let us listen to Mr.. Madison's exposition of
this clause in the 43d number of the Federalist
He there says:
II may possibly be asked what need there could be Of
such precauon, and whether it may become pre-
fer for alterations the State Governments ioiihou III
concurrence Of the States themselves These questions ad
nit Of ready If the inerposton of the General
Government should not be needed the provision for such
event will be harmless suPerfuty only 10 the C0nst
tuition But who say what experiments may be pro-
duced by the caprice Of particular States by the ambition
Of enterprising leaders, by the ntrgues and influence
Of foreign Powers2 To the second question it may be
swered that il the General Government should interpose
by virtue of this constitutional authority will be of
bound to pursue the authority But the authority ert nds
farther than to guaranty of republican form of 20
Uernmsnt WHICH sUPPOsEs A PRE-ExIsTING GOVERN
MENr OF THE FORM WHICH TO BE GUARANTEED"
Could any langu age be more explicit or NOR
conclusive against the purpose for which Mr.
Sumner has cited this provision of the Constitution
The text and the comment are alike plain. And
yet it is of sources such as this and the two pre-
viously indicated that the distinguished Senator
says:
In reviewing these three sources of power, know
not which is most complete. Either would be ample
alone but the three together three times ample.
Thus, out of this triple fountain If please by this
triple cord do vindcae the power Of Congress the
vacated rebel States"
We are very willing to let the decision of this
question turn any one or all three of these con-
sderations. And We may be sure that Mr.. Sum-
ner has made the most that can be made Of them.
Ii he has failed, as we conceive he has, to find in
any one, or in all three combined, the slightest
support for his theory has been from no want Of
ingenuity on his part but because of the intrinsic
difficulties of the theory ITSELF which does not admit
Of successful defence, even in his skillful hands.
