The Constitutional the United
States.

The country has passed through the
fiery ordeal of seven years war with
the mother country. On the 18th of
September, 1877, there were assembled
in Philadelphia some fifty men who pro-
ceeded to sign the future Constitution of
the United States. All the States were
present but Rhode Island. Her harbor
at Newport gave her such advantages as
an importing port for Massachusetts,
Connecticut, and even New York, that
to have a free port of her own to import
cheaper than Boston, New York or New
Haven was deemed of more Importance
to her people than government which
should impose duties of uniform char
acter. c 1a s .tf
OF Washington, franklin and Hamilton
thought differently; and these master
spirits of the Convention labored from
the l4th of May to the I4th of July
without making any headway whatever.
The debates of the day exhibit much Bit
terness of feeling. Hamilton had left in
despair, when Washington sent for him
to return. On his arrival, Franklin pro-
posed prayer to Almighty God, to re-
lieve them from their difficulties, which
was accepted. Finally, after series of
concessions and compromises, (aye, COM
promises in that day., the Constitution
was agreed upon. ! baa ssi.ssg IN,
But here commenced q new difficulty.
Washington had signed it and sent it to
the Congress of the Confederation, and
at last, amid the great difficulties and
trials, eleven of the States adopted it
Rhode Island and North Carolina, alone
declining. In some of the States the
struggle to ratify the Constitution was
terrible. In Massachusetts,, in body
composed of over three hundred and fifty
members, it was carried by only nineteen
majority, though the whole weig Of in
tellecU and of property in the State was
in the convention urging its ratification.
The struggleia Virginia was equally
hard Madison, Randolph and John Mar
shall had all they could possibly do to
stem the storm against the almost match
less eloquence of Patrick Henry.
But what really carried the State of
Virginia was the news of the adoption by
New Hampshire, the eighth State-so
that on Virginia alone fell the awful re-
sponsibility of being the ninth State to
create the Federal Government-nine
States being necessary to adopt the Con-
stitution and set the wheels of Govern
ment inr motion. In the State of New
York the convention had met at Pough-
keepsie in June l778, and on the first
vote the Constitution was rejected
The merchants and mechanics of the
State of New York voted for it, while
the farmers and. agricuituralists voted
against it-and it was only when the Con-
vention heard of the ratification of the
Constitution by Virginia. that they voted
for it, and on call for, the yeas and nays
there was but three majority for If, in
that great State. ga '-~

II seems that the rebols do not sban-
don the fiction of authority over Ken
lucky, sitter sill. Ga the 9Th instant :
communication from "the Secretary Of the
Provisional Government of the State of
Kentucky" was read in the rebel Senate,
announcing the recollection of Hon. W. E.
simms rs Senator for six years. We be-
lieve that they do not pretend to have
any representation from Mary land, al
though they legislate for MarylandeFs
residing in The insurgent States IS for a
class owing allegiance, though distinct
from the rest of The population. This
claim Of Jurisdiction over these States
and this recognition Of Representatives
without constituents, is 90 manifestly ab-
surd, as TO create . smile upon the coua-
tsnances Of one who has even given
himself fully over to a permanent mel
anchoiy.

ports Of the Black Sea TO investigate the
subject and report to the government /
have reason to know that these reports,
which bear out fully the statements MADE
in the letter referred to, have just been
sent home. Independently, also, Of this
information, rumors have reached me from
different points of the existence Of iron
clad ships 10 the Black Sea waters. /
should not be disposed TO place great
confidence in this last assertion were it
not that circumstance has come under
notice which tends, if not to confirm its
accuracy, at least to account in some way
for the report A Russian corvette, the
SokOl, belonging to the naval reserve IN
the Baltic, passed two days ago through
the DaFdanelles, and on examination
turned out to be laden with 4 considers
Die quantity of iron plates. 1t would
seem pretty clear, therefore, that II ships
do not at present exist in the Euxine,
means are being adopted TO supply the
deficiency"
We have likewise late news from Italy,
from which we learn that an extended
agitation exists there on the Venetian
question. Garibaldi has issued proc
lamation from Caprera urging the people
to be faithful 10 the leadership Of Victor
Emanuel. The Italian army is permeat-
cd with the idea of ; speedy war for the
deliVerance of Venice.
During the past winter, the opening of
the spring of 1864 has been looked to as
the signal for the beginning of the final
effort to make Italy free in fact, as well
as in name, and the next few months may
bring us the most exciting intelligence
from Venice and Rome.

denying that Col Fields has returned and
taken the oath of allegiance, SIS reported.
he says:
The facts of the case are these. A
short time since two deserters, from the
First Tennessee, came to Pulaski, and
surrendered themselves prisoners. One
Of them, known as Black Hawk Nichol,
in relating his story, referred to the regi-
ment as having almost all deserted, and
expressed himself surprised that Col. F.
was not here, as, at the time of his leav-
ing, be, the Colonel, was on scout, and
would probably return home; when, at
the time Col. F. was absent from his COM

The President has concluded not to
aeperate the Offices of Military Governor,
and Commander Of the district hereafter.
We learn from the Washington Special to
the Cincinnati Commercial, that he has
recently announced this policy to the Ar
kansas delegation, which visited him.
He therefore invested General Steele, the
newly appointed Commander of the De-
partment of Arkansas, with both the
military and civil administration of the
State. He stated his reasons to be that
the experience of the past had proved
that there was constant conflict between
the military Governors and military COM
manders, which was Injurious to the in
terests sunder their charge. He expressed
hopes that the formal organization oflthe
State Government, under the terms of
the Amnesty Proclamation, would speedi-
" be made by the people of Arkansas.
The delegation left Washington highly
pleased with the results.

IsebeI DECENTRALIZATION.

The telegraph = few days since in
formed us that 100 deserters from J oe
JohnstOn's army, arrived in Chattanooga
in one day; and that squads are arriving
continually. OF the truth of this, there
can be no question. One of the Edi-
tors of this paper spent several months
in the front during the Fall, and early
part of the Winter, and while there saw
as many IS 80 arrive and report st head
quarters in q single twenty four hours.
The Kentuckians have almost entirely
abandoned the army; and there is not
enough left of the old Division, to make
a respectable regiment Four of the 4th
Ky. passed through here = day or two
since; and we learn from the Cincinnati
Commercial that six of the Bourbon
County boys have at length left their
regiments and returned home.
A gentleman just from Knoxville re-
ports that some days since five rebels en-
tered our lines, waving . white handker-
chief, and on being asked what they
wanted, they replied that they wished to
see the amnesty proclamation; and that
they would prefer to be returned with s
number of copies to circulate among their
friends but that they would not object TO
being retained IS prisoners. Our COM
mander thought best to furnish them
great number of copies, aud allow them
to return secretly, SO that their visit
woald not be discovered. No wonder
that Longssreet protests against the cir
eulatiOn of that document among his
soldiers. The very protest, evinoes the
trepidation Of that commander, who
breads lest his army dissolve under its
influence.

Ths Peace wen At work.

The fat has gone forth; war Dsmo-
Ocrats, Of any and all grades, must take
warning, and at once abandon every po-
sition they hold, or forthwith leave the
Democratic party. II was hoped that
the last election would prove = lesson to
politicians; but it did not. There ex-
lists in the loyal States band of traitors,
determined, at every, hazard to encourage
the rebels in their days of gloom
FOrssken by Europe, beaten everywhere
on the field, demoralized beyond prece-
dent, the rebels must succumb, unless
relief comes speedily. That relief the
peace men propose to give, if in their
power; but fortunately, it is not.
VallAndighsm and the Woods own the
peace party; their dictation is its law
the rank and file must submit to their
commands, or be unceremOniously ex-
PEELED from the Democratic Church.
Yallandigham, since bis farewell address,
after be discovered that he had been
permanently employed as 3 Waterman,
over the border, has kept silent; bat
BENJAMIN and Fernando own a pa
per, and are compelled to speak out.
In a late issue of their jOurnsl-the
n. Y. News-they tell their ss,raps that
in view of the near approach Of the
"Democratic" National Convention, the
peace men must organize in the different
States, in counties and in neighborhoOds.
Let the organization be thorough, and
when it IS so, let its voice be heard in
tones not to be disregarded, in favor of
peace for the country. Blessed are the
Peacemakers,' says the Bible yet if
they sit supinely and proclaim not their
peace principles they will be far from
deserving the blessing"
There it is; war Democrats, take notice
that you are to have nothing to do with
the Chicago Convention; that body will
endorse the Vallandigham and Wood
policy; will send greeting to the rebels,
and give them all the aid and comfort in
their power. Patriots will have no bu-
siness in its deliberations; it is to be an
assembly of traitors, and this the world,
and particularly the open rebels, must
know.
The News then INDUCES in the follow
ing:-
A Peace candidate for President on =
Peace platform would sweep through the
country like a hurricane, yet with sll the
benefit of rain to vegetation
upon the dry or parehed earth.
That is en- exceedingly fine sentence,
but we are inclined TO think that we read
something like it last fall, before the
Ohio election in October, when the tri-
umph of. ValIsndigham was predicted,snd
bis majority estimated at over hundred |
thousand. Well, we have no objection |
10 such q display of eloquence; there are
people who mast indulge in it, to avoid a
,ase of spontaneous combustiOn;" there
ore we say, go ahead; q more harmless
of the spirit has seldom been
witnessed.
