A beautiful example OF Christian patriotism
has been given by Catholic priest in Detroit.
The pious and beloved pastor OF St. PaIrieks
Chapel, on Adelaide street, Father James Hen
nesy, was drafted in the drawing for the Sixth
Ward. His many friends az once gathered around
him, and preparations were made tol get him
a substitute. Father HenDesy said, "No, cannot
permit this. My country has called upon me for
srsonal service, and will have no other man
1SDr me. will take my own place in the army"
Ian i eanow nothing grauder in the history OF the
t than this patriotic conduct. The determine
ion of the conscientious and patriotic priest is
fixed. Members of bis congregation have in VAIN
offered 10 go into the field for him. But his me
sense Of duty to his country and 10 the law will
not permit him to serve his country by su0s,itu'
tion A Detroit paper says OF Father Hennesy -

OF the States. Without it no Union could

ty, is is either practihle or desirable, upon
any other basis. But. this fundamental
principle has been SO flagrautly violated,
in the election at.d ADMINISTRATORS of Pres.
ident LINCOLN, as y have, produced real
di>uaion, practical despotism, and disas-
trous civil war. 1t behaoyes the people of
the l.uited States to ree,iiy, in 1864, The
fatal mistake, Of 1850, whence proceed
the awful condition Of American socie-

CONGRESS- ABOUT TO ABOLISH
STATE BANKS.

Mr.. Stevens has reported till which is
INTENDED to operate as an entire iprohibi-
lstioh of State. banking, and viii. make the
reign, Of greenbseks and their shadows
supreme. The second section Of the bill
provides as follower - ft-> ~.
H. That after one year from the passage
OF this act, it sEan be unlawful for any
person, oank association, or corporation,
to issue or circulate notes or other ob1iga.
'tions desi icned or calculated to circulate as
money, unless authorized thereto by act OF
Congress-
What legal right has Congress to
pass such bill? Would it not be
plain violation Of those articles of the
Constitution establishing the relations be.
tween the States and General Government?
The Constitution only enumsrates the
powers retained by the General Govern
inen', and the checks placed upon the
actions of the States. Article X Of tho
Amendment Of the Constitution expressly
says, that The powers not delegated to
the Uulted States by the Constitution, or
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved
to the States respectively, or to the people"
Now in no article Of the Constitution
can there be word found granting to
Congress the power to overturn the es,ab.
llshed laws of y State, the Constitution.
ality Of which is well established by every
court of justice in the land
1t is FROM just such men as Stevens
that we may expect these startling limo.
vations upon the Constitution; in fact the
political party Of which he is a true ex.
ponent has declared long ago their hostility
to the Constitution, and their actions from
day to-day serve to convince US that they
were honest in :he expression Of their
opinion when they said that the Constitu.
ton was a League with death and a
covenant with hel.'
Every effort put forth in Congress ap.
