tial proclanatious are above the decisions o
the courts and ihe restraints Of the Consultation
then that Consultation Is \ moekery. ~ Il ha
not the authority to keep The Executive within II
restraints, thor II cannot retain States With
the Union. Those who hold that there Is nj
Fnnctity In the Constitution, must equally hold
that here is 70 guilt In the rebellion.
cnrnot DO silent and allow these practice
TO become presidents. They are as much In VIC
latiCn Of our Constitution MS tho rebellion itself
and more dangerous to our liberties. They bolt
cut 10 the Executive every temptation Of Ambi
tiun TO make and prolong war. They ofor des
rotic power as a price for preventing peace. They
are inducements to each administration to pro
cure dlscold and incite arnlcd resistance TO law
by declaring that the condition Of war removes
all constitutional restraints. They call about thu
national capitol hcrd.s Of unprincipled men, who
find in tho wreck Of their country the opportunity
to crafty avarice or ambition, or personal or pO'
litical T~esontnents. This theory makes the pas.
sion and ambition Of an administration antsgo-
inside 20 the interest and happiness Of the people,
1t makes the restoration of peace the nbdication
Of more than regal authority in tho hands Of
chose to whomis oonfdsd the government Of the
country"
After perusing the foregoing, our read
ers will, we think agree with us that -iib-
erty OF speech and Of the press are secure
under the Governor, who appreciates his
position, and il determined to maintain
the su~vereignty,cf the great States at the
head OF which he has been placed not By a
minority, but by a majority Of its citizons.-
We believe that our right as q journalist
to utter, and print, and circulate freely
and without danger Of arbitrary arrest
aud incarceration, whatever we find TO
c~rltioise in the acts of the Administration
we believe that our right TO do this viii
be maintained by the Chief Executive OF
the Empire State, and it is i'll this belief
that We now exercise that Constitutional
right, despite of the threats Of a military
despotism and its base and veUal adhe-
rents.
If the people are not fully aroused 10
the dangers by which their Liberties, not
to speak of .heir sovereignty, are beset,
they may soon lose both the opportunity
and the power to preserve those priceless
boons for which such great sacrifices wNTe
made.
