lowing from the Examiner:
Mr.. Grahsm, OF North Carelins, said he
regarded this as an unnecessary resolution,
and thsught that il ought not to be passed
II came to.the Senate unaceompanied with
any statistics relative to the number Of Of
ficers exempted BY the States. lie had
seen 10 the newspapers q tabular statensat
OF the troops furnished by the States and
the number Of shose exempted. but he had
learned. on inquiry. that that statement
was net relied upon by the Military Con.
nlttee OF the House of Representatives,
and that steps were being taken to have il
corrected. IL was novel thing for Gen.
gress to open a communication with the
States upon any subject. especially upon
this. The proposition embraced in this
resolution was that Congress should csr-
respond with the States and sscertsin
whether they could spare any more troops
ior the Confederate araies. Such ceres
pondencs should, IL necessary, be had by
the Executive. by the Secretary Of War.
For Congress 70 address the States on this
subject would imply an insinuation that the
States had been delinquent. North Caro-
lima and Georgis we're represented, in the
statement just alluded TO. 10 have larger
number of sxsmpts than any Of the other

which the President could receive the

Lincoln Elected.

The election is over and the people
have elected Father .ibraham for
four mora years. The policy OF the
Administration has been endorsed by
q majjrity OF our citizsn5, who have
thus declared for fonr more years Of
war, at tho cost of thousands Of lives
and millions OF treasure, to say no
thing of the general ruin, in the waS
OF disqualification of our people, and
Obstruction Of property. The people
have, made this decision with their
eyes open, they must all know, that
the administration will carry on the
war to Free every negro slave in the
country. What the result will DO
GodIalone knows, no man can tell.
It, must be one of two things we
think either warrior four years moro
or dissolution of the Union. The
people both north and south mus

governments and their policy, before
we can have peace and Union. Il

nor is this:denied by some who defend
its constitutionality. The position
which is now taken is that right is
one thing aud cOnSfitutionslity anoth-
er and It does not follow because a
Law is palpably wrong, and in conflict
With principles Of justice universally
recognized, thatitis therefore uncon-
stitutional. Tie tender law may
compel men to receive that which is
worthless in payments of debts, or in
consideration tor property it may i'm
pair the obligation OF contracts, de-
fraud public servants and creditors,
havo the ef'.ct Of n forced loan or Of
an arbitrary levy; bu! to do all this
is not specifically prohibited to the
general government by tha Uoustitu-
ton !; therefore, such is the argument
tho law under which there are done
is not unconstitutional Whatever
the Constitution does not forbid, that
tie Constitution permits, is the ne W
rule ofIoyal Interpretation, which a
corrupt party, through the venalit y
and base ambition ofjudgea is end4av
oring to make practical within
case the party continues in power-a
very fair prospect of success. Thu s
Judge EMMETT, of New York, who
seems to be anxious to put himself in
the line of party precedents, in re-
Gently published letter, volunteers to
lay down the doctrine that, although
the States are bound by the provision
which forbids them to pass laws to i'm
pair the obligation Of contracts, the
prohibition 81 to do "dOes not extend
to the United States themselves.
1t is hardly necessary to suggest tha'
when this rule comes to be universal
our Government will be reduced to q
state Of exceeding simplicity.
So far as appears the Court in In
diana was unanimous ; which is thus
far, coTmendable. lts testimony
against the justice of the act of Feb

Still, it does not seem to us, that, il

protect rights which it tadmitteJ to ex

The Powers Of the PrGSI-
dent.

The KnickerbOcker Magazine for
October illustrates this matter in a
better way than we have yet seen it,
as follows:
The Constitution nowhere gives
the President any authority to make
laws; he may approve or not Of the
acts of Congress. The President, we
will say, gives an order in writing to
arrest a man in the city ol New York
for disloyalty, as it is fashionably
termed by the partisans Of the ultra
radical and Republican school. The
Individual arrested has violated nc
act Of Congress, has committed nc
crime known to the statute book, he
is charged with uttering language no
agreeable to the men who exercise
the functions of office, and by thC
order he is imprisoned in the Bastilt
Lafayette.
The military officer, by order o
the President, defies the writ ofhabe
as corpus but the courts, being still
open, the prisoner may sue all con-
cerDed for trespass and false impris
onment. The President puts himsel
within the Jurisdiction Of the court
of New York, and served with th'
process. Now ask any lawyer tina
really knows the principles of hi

a plea oil justification OF the trespaSs
and imprisonment. The facts OF ar
rest and imprisonment can not be
denied; now where is the law which
Ijustifes the arrest and imprisonment

JUSTIFICATION must show a crime com
mitted, that the prisoner was charged
with it and that he was arrested
for the purpose Of being taGen before
the proper magistrate, that inquiry
might be made aa to the ofense, and
the connection OF the criminal there.
With, for every man is entitled to
trial by jury Of his peers and the
law OF the land.
Tie plea could not make any such

beO, my will is law and then the
question is, whOt part OF the Constitu'
ton enables the president to enac
any law, or TO give any order to those
not in the military o: naval sevice
There is 70 such authority, and tht
President would therefore be liable
tor the wrong he had committed. By
the theory Of the English Govern
ment, Parliament can pass acts o
Indemnity, and take from any sub.
