have been suggested as suitable persons TO
All. the Offices mentioned in connection
with names. One Of those suggestions is
A. p. Richardson a. candidate for Gov
srnor.
In addition to having met the Col. sew.
ersl times and very agreeably spent few
hours in his company, we have had some
i've years intimate newspaper ac0uaint.
ance with him, and we have no hesitancy
whatever in pronouncing him the man Of
our choice for that position. His ability or
popularity viii not be questioned by his
opponents. He is Democrat in the trne
meaning Of the word, Of the Douglas order,
one Of conservative and compromising
disposition. He is in the prime Of life and
has had experience in conducting public
affairs II he now occupied the Guierna-
torisI Chsir, . different and more favorable
state Of financial affairs would exist in our
politically ruined State. CO. ST

HhOeaHAuie Sou'Ce u'SucT tUaH Inc OOnSti-
tuition. Do the advocates Of this assump.
ton rausc to think. that the assertion that
the Constitution is adapted to times Of
peace and not Of war, is an admission Of
the utter worthlessness Of our government.
Governments are instituted to restrain the
strong and protect the weak. They are
instituted to protect men, not so much in
times Of peace and quiet, as in times Of
public disorder and tumult, and that gov
eminent which is not adequate to this task,
cannot command the respect nor receive the
support Of its citizens. It is certainly
wiser to try what an honest administration
CT the powers already conferred can &C.
complish towards restoring the Union and
the supremacy of the laws, than to con-
denim it without trial. and in tho exercise of
forbidden powers, attempt to accomplish
good by the commission Of evil deeds II
the chosen guardians Of the law, may with
impunity violate its plainest principles on
the plea Of military necessity, what better
arc they than those who openly levy war
against the government. The Constitution
is the only bond Of the citizens allegiance.
Abrogate that, and society is thrown back
on original principles. The citizen in that
case, owes allegiance no more to the exer.
else Of powers assumed by Abraham Lin
coin than he does to powers assumed by
Jefferson Davis. They are in that case
both equally usurpers, both levying war
against the government and equally in the
wrong.
Treason technically means, levying war
against the government, adhering to its
enemies, giving them aid and comfort
The President is not the government
Neither is the Congress or the Supreme
Court. They are each but the ministers OF
functions Of the government The Consti.
tuition is the embodiment of the govern
ment. Whoever, therefore, attempts by
armed violence 10 overthrow the Constit,.
ton or stealthily saps its foundations, OF
prevents its legitimate operations by flimsy
pretences Of necessity, levies war agains,
the government, and is therefore guilty Of
treason. ...,.s.
1t is time that the American people Judge
OF these important questions as become
men, and not as partisans. External vigi
lance is the price Of liberty" and If We
slumber while guarding the boon entrusted
to our care, or, If for the purpose of pun
ishing our enemies, We madly pull dowr
the temple of freedom on our own heads
posterity will sadly search among the ruins
of persisted empires, to read the mournfu
| story OF our fate. -..... j. S.

and the President cannot exist. The crea-
turc cannot destroy the Creator. Conced.
ing TO the President the right to suspend or
disobey any one part Of the Constitution,
is conceding his right to suspend or disobey
any and all other parts is conceding his
right to suspend that clause which creates
the Congress and the Supreme Court, or
which creates the President himself. and
thus leaves himself an Autocrat, irresponsi
bic except to his own pleasures. These
same rules apply equally to each of the
coordinate branches Of the government
With what pain then must every loyal man
witness such violations Of the Constitution
as the admission Of Western Virginia. =
The Constitution says, (art. 4, sec. 81 mo
new state shall be formed or erected within
the jurisdiction Of any other state, without
the consent Of the legislatures Of the states
concerned as well as Of the congress-" yet
with this supreme Law placarded before the
eyes Of senator's and representatives, they
suspend the Constitution and admit q new
state. The President, whose veto might
prevent the crime, takes counsel of his
Attorney General, who to his credit, pro-
nounces the thing unconstitutional, but the
President, turning his back ON his oath,
succumbs to the pressure he cares not to
resist, and SHINING in the full light of his
duty, affixes his name to bill that will
publish his dishonor as long as history per.
petuates his name. ..... u
And all these acts are done in the name
Of military necessity. 1t is conceded that
the Constitution not only does not warrant
these acts, but by its terms expressly pro.
bibits them. 1t is claimed that the right 10
exercise these powers is drawn from some

SPIR1TuALISM

According to the ~ Y. Herald, President
Lincoln recently permitted spirit mediu m
to try his power in the presence Of the Presi-
dents family and few friends The spirits
Of Washington, Lafayette. Napoleon, Frank
lin. Wilberforce, Knox, and Douglass we're
summoned, and pretended responses from
them were given in respect to the war.
Knox was for a bold front and fight. leav-
ing traitors at home to the care of loyal men,
and with less note Of preparation, less parade
and policy talk, and more action.
Napoleon said, concent ate your forces
upon one point Lafayette tbinks the rebel
lion will die Of exhaustion; Franklin that the
North is superior in mechanical ability and
will conquer; while Wiberforce sees hope
only in negro army.
The Herald makes the President comment
thus:
Well opinions differ among the saints as
well as among the sinners They don't seem
TO understand running the machines among
the cclestials much better than we do. Their
talk and advice sounds very much like the
talk Of my cabinet
We will add that the editor of the Herald
presumes the account to be true. He hos
presumed great deal, we suspect Wash
ington 'eems to have said nothing, and Doug
lass gave a brief but Characteristic speech, in
the vein Of his last patriotic speeches uttered
while living. ANY clever medium can manu-
facture quite as good.
