MONTPELIER, March Is. 1880
DEAR SIR return nv thanks for the
copy of your late YER. powerful speech in
the senate of the United States. 1t brushes
qualifications F" and must hasten abandon
ment Of secession. But this lodges the blow
by coniou nding the claim To secede at will
with the right of seeding from intoiersble
oppression.
The fo1 mer answers itself being a violation
without cause of faith solemnly pledged -
The latter is another name only for rsvolu-
ton. about which there Is theoretic con-
troversy. Its double aspect, nevertheless,
with the cOuntenance received iron certain
quarters, is giving 1t a popular currency here
which may influence the approaching cleo
tions. both tor congress and the state leGisla
lures. 1t has gained some advantage also by
mixing itself with the question. whether the
constitution of the United States was formed
by the people or by the states, now under q
the1retic discussion by animated partIssus.-
IL Is fortunate when disputed theories can be
decided by undisputed facts. And here the
undis ted fact Is. shat the constitution was
made by the people, but as EN- bodied into the
several states who were parties t. it, and.
therefore, made by the states in their highest
authoritative capacity.
They might, by the same authority and by
Lne same process. nave CpuNeIteu tue COuIcu-
eracy into a mere league or treaty, or contin-
ued II with enlarged or abridged powers. or
have embodied the people OF their respective
states into people nation or sovereignty or.
a. they did by mixed form. make them one
people, nation or sovereignty, for oerIain pur-
poses, and not so for others
The constitution of the United States, be
ing established by a competent authority
by that of the people of the several states
who were the parties to lit remains only
to inquire what the constitution lie and here
IL speaks for itself. 1t organizes Il govern
ment into the usual Legislative. executive and
judiciary departments; invests IL with Fpeci-
fed powers, leaving others TO the parties to
the constitution it makes the government to
operate directly ON the people; places at it's
command the needful physical means of exc
cutting it's powers and, finally, proelaims its
supremacy. and that of the laws made In pur
suauee Of it. over the constitution and laws of
the states, the powers of the government be-
ing exercised as In other elective and respon-
sible governments under the control of it's
c,nstituents-ths people and the Legislatures

Such is the constitution of the United
States de jure and de facto. aud tho name,
whatever il be. that may be given to it. can
make it nothing more nor less than what it
actually is.

ToRoSTo, Nov. 6-The sensational kilograms
from this city in reference TO the excitement
caused by the Fenians may be regarded as pro.

imagination, there being no excitement whatever
