In the light of Congressional proceedings, both
at Washington and Richmond, the cohclnsion is ir.
resistbls, that such things as Constitutions are
obsolete in North America Our ancestors Of 76
and 's7 fondy thought they had made discove
in government that would forever insure the stability
of free States and the liberty of free people; but
the invention of written Constitutions has already
failed. Long the paything Of party and the sport
of fansticism, the first serious tconvulsi0n has

Stat~D4s in the domnops of their ally, the Car.
The Confederate Constitution is so little regarded
that representative" will, any day, violate his
oath iii support Of it for quartermasters comms-
sion. Constitutions have become Haere pieces of
least restraint upon the cenaries of power to be
set aside upon pleas the more plausible and subtle
when urged in the prospect Of salary or gov.
eminent contract Our forefathess framed them,
not for the smooth times of peace, but for the very
emergencies of war, revolution and usurpation.-
Their degenerate progeny make the very exigencies
for which they were designed, the excuse for their
abrogation.
1t may be we'll that we should have this fiaal
demonstration of the truth, that written eonstitu-
tons failure-a failure against any serious
commissions Of society-against the corruptions Of
an ove,shadowing patronage. Their loss compels
resort to those true guarantees of our liberties,
the institutions Of the States. Happily for the
South, our home governments and home institutions
are not quite overthrovn Some Of the States have
asserted them in msnrar most efecsual and
exemplary. Virginia alone, under useless Gov
ernor, aud Legislatures tamperiug too much With
patronage, has given signs Of ignominious relapse
into the embraces of Fedsralism-of apostsey from
principles in combatfor which she achieved all Of
her historic renown.
Strange to say, her high prerogatives e Com.

But it is said, to prevent the action of Congress

keep its action on the currency question secret
until it becomes law. This is . plausible, but,
in reality, = very unfouuded excuse. On the con.
tary, it hides Ill Information from the mass Of the
people, and thus enables spectators and extortiou-
