What the Maintenance OCthe
Vnion brought WIFI, IL.

Ihe Democratic party has asserted and
argued, that the maintenance Of the Union
occurred the respective States in "dH their
''3h%. That We take it is sound Demo
c.a'lc doctrine. The President in his Mes
sage declares The maintenance of the
Imon brings with it the support of the
state Governments IN all their rights. "
The Message does not consider that any of
the States that sought to withdraw from
the Union, but which were prevented from
dong 50, are TO day in any other condition
Than IN the enjoyment OF "all their rights"
nS states. Nothing is more clearly SET lortl,
"a the Constitution of the United States
than that each State is entitled To rcnrc
s,ntatlon ~ the Congress OF the United
rA'c'i there IS not IN that instrument a
single provision that can he so tortured a.
I, authorize the denial of that right. If
the Southern people, in their attcmpt to
withdraw from the Union, new in the face
OF the Constitution of the United States
4 they thrcby violated il likewise do those
representative in Congress violate the Con
stitutlon in refusing to allow the Represcn
latiycs OF the Southern people to take their
seats. And because the Southern people
violated the Constitution in their attempt
u withdraw from the Union, does that cir
cumstance give the members of Congress
from, what have been known as the adher
my States, a night to violate the Constitu.
tom Statesman.

ThC Southern Members.

There does not seem to be the slightest
prospect for the admission of the Southern
members this winter President JOHNSON
asked the house to admit the members elect
FROM Tennessee, but the request was refused
by very large majority. The men who
were so blatant for the Union few months
ago are now out-spoken in their opposition
to its restoration. They are showing them
selves the vile traitors we always supposed
them to be. They are either for or against
the Union as the prospect for plumber sug-
gcsts to them. lfthrce. fourths oftho mem
hers of congress were hung up around the
capitol as they deserve to be, and as they
would be were General JACKSON President
for one week, we would have peace, liberty
and union throughout the land

Tennessee on the Negroes.

The bill allowing blacks to testify in the
courts OF Tennessee, which passed the sen.
ate by 10 %, has been defeated in the house
by 30 to 21-thc east Tennessee unionists
opposing, while many Of the cx-rcbels sup.
ported it. The New York Ti,June, com
mcnting on these facts, says:
"fhosa cast Tennessee unIonists hovc boou

We think it very probable that there i.
more truth than fiction in this statement.
Had the ex-rebcls who are disfianchiscd
been permitted to vote, the state would not
have been cursed with reverend black
guard for governor, nor with legislature
whose ingenuity is chiefly exercised in fran.
ing cnactments that will still more cmbitter
Its opponents and widen the limits of the
panicmonium Of passion and crime. The
proof is that the cX-rebcls, on the question
OF admission of negro testimony, were more
disposed than scli,stylcd unonists to do Jus
tlcc to the blacks. The Tribuue's state
ment will not help the representatives. from
Tennessee in obtaining seats in congress.
Il was probably intended to do so.
