TERRIToRIAL GovrRNMENTs For THE
SOUTHERN STATES. The following is the
Resolution looking to a Territorial form o!
government for the Southern States, which was
offered in the House of Representatives by
Mr.. Broomall, of Pennsylvania. The rcsolu-

81:
RcSolucd, That the Committee on Terrific
rics bc instructed to inquire into the cxpcdi-
ency Of reporting Bill providing Territorial
governments for the several districts of coun.
try within the jurisdiction of the United

uralizcd and not participants in tho late rebel
lion, full, equal political rights in such Terri
torial governments.
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1866-12-22

De TocoUEvILLE, in his work on Amer-
ca, gives this forciblc sketch: {" A ncwspa-
per can drop tho same thought into thousand
minds at the same moment. A newspaper
is an adviser who does not require to be sought,
but who comes to you briefly every day of
common veal, without distracting your pri-
vate affairs. Newspapers, therefore, become
more necessary in proportion as men become
more equal and individuals more to be feared.
TO suppose that they only serve to protect
freedom would be to diminish their impor-
tanco; thcy maintain civilization"

Official Impertinence,

The President has sent a message TO Congress, to
notify all whom it may concern, that he ANDREW
Johnson IS opposed TO the Constitutional Amend
ment recently passed by three fourhs of both Houses
OF Congress. The document is piece of oficia
impertinence, and ought not to be entered on the
journals The Constitution authorizes the President
to communicate his views to Congress in two ways
First, by returning it with his objections any bill
presented to him for approval; Second by giving
them, from time to time information of the state Of
the Union, and recommending such measures for
their consideration as he may deem expedient. He
may also convene them in extraordinary session
whenever the public exigencies require it. He is
nowhere authorized to send them messages lecturing
them Tor their conduct in matters which do not Of
1claIIy concern him. A Constitutional Amendment
does not omeally concern him. When passed by
twothrds OF Congress and ratified by three-fourths
OF the States all the requirements are fulfilled The
President might, with the same pronrietv send tn
Congress certified copy of his 22d of February
speech. We trust that the message will be treated
like the remonstrance petition of any private in
dlvidus-that is laid upon the table or referred to
the appropriate committee. Ii should not be en-
tered upon the journals or ordered to be printed
