How often the ninety day draft which SEWARD com

A Conflict.


The ros;iion Of not few of our public men in this
State and in Georgia is not little strange, and, per
hans we might add, Inconsistent. They accuse Pres-
dent DAVIS and the Confederate Congress of transcend
ing the limits of their power and infringing upon the
reserved rights of the States. These public men, as
for instance Mr.. STEPHENS, Governor BROWN hhu o''
ers denounce certain legislative acts of the Confederate
&c Unconstitutional Are these gentlemen not

~ Re- the theory of all constitutional governments,
abe legislative executive and judicial branches OF the
Government are separate and independent 10 the Ju-
dietary to the courts, pertains the right OF deciding
upon questions involving te constitutionaty OF laws
passed by the legislature Now the very acts against
which these gentlemen enveigh as unconstitutional,
have been sustained as constitutional by the supreme
udical tribunals of all the States in which the issue
has been raised not excepting the States CT Georgia
and North Carolina Ia North Carolina no actual
decision has been made by the Supreme Court Z"
hmm Int the spnarate action of two of the three
indoes Of which the Court composed leaves no oouot
- b ooition of that tribunal and indeed doubt is
raised on any hand
Remember, these are not Confederate Courts
They are the Courts Of Sovereign States. They are
made separately and Independently. Do these political
gentlemen, who are raising a hubbub over what they
call the usurpatons Of the Confederate government,

decisions made by the judiciary of the States of the
Confederacy, their included THAT they aim
