The Supreme Court and the President.
Mr. johnson, in his reply to the address
Of the Philadelphia Convention, described
Congress as "a body hanging upon the verge
of the Government words unmistakably
insulting to the American people whom Con
gress represents. If the Senators and Rep
resentatives Of New York, Pennsylvania
New England, the Middle States, and the
West, constitute a body hanging on the
verge of the Government, the President,
who is but one man, must hang outside Of it.
This Insult to the people has been fre-
quently repeated by Mr., Johnson, and is
caused hy the assertion of their right to de-
termine the reconstruction of the Union by
legislation, in opposition to Mr.. johnson S
claim to settle all questions 5y Executive
action. Morally, this is question as to
who truly represents the people, the Sena-
tors and Representatives Of 27 States, or the
man, vino has become President by an acci-
dent
Congress, unquestionably, far more thor
oughly embodies the nation principles,
and is in far more intimate relations with
the people, from the fact that it represents
all the shades of opinion in every district of
every loyal State The business of the
President is to execute the laws, and not to
make them. In this matter of reconstruc-
ton, he Is, not only morally, but legally,
bound to carry out the decision of Congress
In the oft quoted case of Luther agt. Bor-
der & How, U. S. Rep. p. H. which arose
out OF the ''Dorr War in Rhode Island, it
was held by the Court (page 40 that, under
the fourth section Of the Constitution, the
United States should guarantee to every
State republican form of government, &c,
1T rests acith Congress to decide what gov
ernment is the established one in the State.
For as the United States guarantee to each
State republican form of government, Con-
gress must necessarily decide what govern
ment is established before it can determine
whether it is republican or not. And when
the Senator'S and Representatives are ad-
mitted into the councils of the Union, the
authority of the Government under which
they are appointed, as well as the reppbli-
can character, is recorgnized by the proper
constitutional authority, and Its decision Is
binding on erciy department Of the Gouern-
naent, and could not be questioned in judi
cial tribunal p"
This decision embodies the long establish
ed popular and judicial opinion OF the Jurls-
diction of Congress- and it suggests that
Mr.. johnson, who talks so much about the
Constitution, would do well to read it.-N

The Effect of the Presidents Speeches.

The Boston Traveller in the following re-
marks, expresses precisely what is coming
to be the feeling of all Republicans, and
what the President S supporters must secret.
ly confess to themselves, as to the effect OF
his speeches
1.-The political tour of the President is
doing a good service to his opponents. He
makes such bombastic and silly speeches
that people everywhere are getting disgust
ed with him. Mr. Seward has been credit
ed with shrewdness, and the wonder is that
he does not keep the President IN check.
Perhaps. however, he is playing double
game, expecting to see the President destroy
himself. and hoping that by contrast the
people will be attracted to him; ot But the the
thing is so much overdone that not only
johnson but his whole party will speedily be
ruined. We hope the programme will be
carried out as commenced, that the Presi-
dent will speak half dozen times each d day; 4;
have no fears as to the result of the cleo
tons in October and November.

Spread out that Banner, furl it never,
Its union field dare not TO sever,
1t is our fathers flag of yore-
For there's not man who bore it
But would glad y die 10 soar it.
Oh or boys in blue adore it.
Even those who late have tore it,
Now love it as before.
Spread out that banner, shout its glory.
That starry flag shall live in story
True, It's battle stained and CORY
Triumphant let it fly,
Glorious banner of the free,
Flashing gem of liberty
Before it despots bend the knee
Wave it on high.
Spread out that bar ner let it wave.
light and beacon to the brave
Flashing freedom to the slave
Beyond the sea;
Until the tyrant's chains are rended,
And equal rights are well defended,
And freedom torch as cd intended,
To all are free.
UnfurI that banner to the gale,
Its CLEAN oft made the foeman quail,
And death to him who dare assaiI
Our emblem of the free.
You proudly waved mid battles clash
You cleaned around the cannon's fash;
Through ranks of death our heroes dash,
Led on by thee.
Unroll that banner, softlJ-slowly-
With heads uncovered. IT is holy!
Plant it DER our martyrs head
Let no rude foe approach it-never;
Letit there, and forever
Sacred to our gallant dead.
In memory of the hands that grasped it,
In memory of the hearts that clasped it,
Plant it, DER the martyrs grave;
Our union martyrs of the wars,
Let them now sleep beneath the stars
Their blood Fl owed out to save.
And its oaken staff is shattered,
By the foemen we have have scattered,
But tits glorious,
Against our hearts we will enfold it.
Our hearts en- brace those who unrolied it
In battles van. to.raise and hold it,
