A Pair Of Patriots.

will not stultify myself by supposing
that we have any warrant in the Constitu
tion for this proceeding. This talk of re
storing the Union as it was, and under
the Constitution as it is, is one of the alb
surdities that have heard repeated until
l have become sick of it. There are ma
nv things which make such an event i'm
possible. TIE Union never shall, with my
consent, be restored under the Constitu-
ton as it is 7haddeus Stevens.
Let me say that the Constitution of the
United States, as | understand it, exacts
norpassive obedience, and no man who is
not wholly lost to self-respect, and ready
to abandon the manhood which is shown
in the heaven-directed countenance, will
voluntarily aid in enforcing Judgment
which, in his conscience, he solemnly be
lieves to be against the fundamental law.
The whole dogma of passive obedience
must be rejccted-in whatever gnise it
may assume, and under whatever alias it
may skulk--whether in the tyrannical
usurpation of king, parliament, or judicial
tribunal.--C Charles Sumner.
These are the worthless who assert that
the Southern people have no right to be
represented in Congress because they are
not loyal.

are entitled to representation in Congress by men
duly elected who bear true faith to the Constitution
and Laws and in der to vindcate the maxim that
taxation without representation is tyranny, such
representatives sho uld be forthwith admitted.
2 That the faith of the Republic is pledged to
The }ayment of the National debt, and Congress
should pass all laws necessary tor that purpose.
3 That we owe obedience to the Constitution of
the United States (incuding the amendment prob b.
iting slavery,) and under its provisions will accord
to those cmancipated all their ghts of person and
property.
4. That each State has the exclusive right to
regulate the quafca. ions of its own electors.
g. That the white race alone is entitled tp the con-
tro! of the Government of the Republic, and we are
unwilling to grant to negroes the right to vote
6. That the bold enunciation of the principles of
the Constitution and the policy of restoration con-
tanned in the annual messag ge and freedmen

him to the confidence aud support of all who respect
the Constitution and love their country.

REvESUE STAMP.-The Supreme Court
of Massachusetts, has recently passed
Judgment upon the validity ofa deed hav-
ing no revenue stamp affixed to it. The
Court considered that the absence of the
stamp did not invalidate the deed, and
questioned whether Congress intended Sc
to frame the Revenue laws The Court
was of opinion that United States statute
undertaking to invalidate an instrument
which is valid by the laws of the State
would be unconstitutional. The Govern
ment could impose penalty for not affx-
ing the stamp, but could not make the in
strument worthless because the stamp was
not affixed.

EE DR., Cheever, one of the leadir

Ey DR., Cheever, one of the leading
radical disunionists, lately delivered dis
course before the Anti Slavery Society in
New York in which he announced the
Republican programme in bold and out
spoken manner. He takes the ground that
the right of suffrage is the right of all
christians, irrespective of birth, race, color,
or bearing. He says:
"The test of true Republicanism now is
to HOLD THE NEGRO UP AND DISTINGUISH
NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM AND THE
WHITE MAN. If Republicans cannot do
that, monarchy is preferable. The ne
gro Is our plumb-linc of reconstruction
Oar national coin is base spelter if it is
not virgin gold for the negro. The
Christianity that can't stand this had better
go down"
There you have it in a nutshell. A
Republican, radical, disunion leader openly
prefers monarchy unless the negro is. al
lowed all civil privileges, the principal OF
which is. the right Of suffrage, 1t is not
often these radical leaders so openly pro
claim their love of monarchy, but in the
case Of Cheevor, we mnst give him the
credit for having frankly proclaimed the
designs of the leading men of the Repub
lican party.

READING, April -, 1866.

GENrLMEEN l have just received your
letter of the 9th inst, asking the question
whether am or not i'll favor of making
a general railroad by the Legislature Of
this Commonwealth, somewhat similar to
that existing in the neighboring State of
Ohio"
If, after repeated and persistant made
by me duringa long service in the Senate,
to secure the passage of general railroad
law, my position on that question is not
understood, fear that nothing | may now
say will more fully demonstrate it.
| have been, am now, and will continue
to be in favor of a general, free railroad
system for this State, similar to that of
the States of Ohio and New York a; believ-
ing that capital should ever be permitted,
under proper restraints for the protection
of private property and the rights of indi-
viduals, to develop any and every section Of
this State without let or hindrance.
Until the people OF this Commonwealth
establish this system, many of the richest
and fairest portions thereof will, for half
a century to come, be deprived Of those
means Of devclopement and intercommu-
nicaton to which at all times they are en-
titled, and without which their stores of
iron, of coal, of humber, and of oil, will be
useless and Improbable not alone to their
owners, but as well also to the whole peo-
pie who are unquestionably most deeply
interested in their prompt developement
and production.
Very respectfully and truly yours,

after it shall be adopted, nine-tenths of
