LinCoiG's Violations OF The Constitution
YUi!i- n TINT.

When democrat ralks TO an abolition
lst about Lincolns violations of the con-
sutution, he is often asked to specify the
instances The Kuslvilie 7iaes has emu
merated few OF them. We will give
any abcIltionIst IN the country reward
Of q Lew hat WAC will poiat cut a clause
ot the con-titutioa that Lincoln has not
violated. Indeed Lincoln has told the
country that while he holds the Office OF
president he doesh intend to respect any
part Of the constitution. The Rushvi!s
Tunes says, the very first section Of the
first article has been violated by the pres
itieAt assuming and exercising legislative
power in his emancipation and csnfsca-
ton proclamation, and by his authoriza-
ton OF one tenth Of the voting population
ot certain states To form a new state and
come into the Union. Section ni,e of the
same article has been dsregarded, by the
suspension Of the Wi, of hateas corpus
Section ten Of the same article has been
set at naught by the issue of paper cur
reGcy. Section three OF article three has
been violated by the confscatisn act.
which extends attaining treason beyond
the life OF the person attainted. Section
two OF article four, providing for the return
OF fugitive slaves, has, of course been en-
t:rely abrogated. Section three of the
same article, prohibiting the formation Of
a state within the jurisdiction OF another
state, has been ruthlessly slaughtered by
making new state out of portion OF
Old Virginia. Article first, of the amend.
ments securing free speech and freedom
OF the press, has been ruthlessly violated
in hundr.Ss of instances by great and
small, by superiors and subordinates of
this administration Article four, guar
anteelng protection from searches and
seizures of persons, ami papers, has been
most wantonly violated. Article six, pro-
viding speedy trial by jury, has been to-
tally disregarded. Article eight, prohibit
ing cruel and unusual punishment, has
been contemporary violated by the adop-
ton of tho old English mode of punish.
ment, by sanishment.h unknown
to any statute Of any state Of America.

The consideration of the "West Virginia
Central Railway Bill' was continued in
the House of Delegates yesterday, and oc
cupied the attention of that body the whole
day. The vote by which the amendment
was adopted the day before, allowing the
road to commence construction in Monon-
gala or Preston county was reconsidered
and the amendment rejected, by vote of
20 yeas to % nays. just before adjourn
ment, two members who had voted in the
negative, asked to change their votes, as
they had voted misunderstandingly. The
request was granted, and the amendment was
thereby carried 1t was then moved to sus-
pend the rules and reconsider the veto, in
order that several members who were alb
sent when the vote was taken, might be af-
forded an opportunity to record their votes.
Thus the Bill stood when the House ad-
burned. ....E
