tracts do not make laws, ont laws make
contracts; that Is, certain acts of the par
ties become contracts under the law.
And when the contract is once formed
then the law enfOrees It or punishcs a viO-
Olati0n oft. 1t is plain that the com
pact of Union, if such thing exists. was
not formed under the constitution but
by subscribing to the constitution. In
other words the constitution isthe com
pact. Now if the general government
which is merely the exponent of the con
stitution, is to enforce the constitution
then we have the strange anomaly Of q
compact enforcing a compact. If the
constitution Is a compact 1t can no more
enforce itself than a lease of land or a
written contract of partnership can en-
force itself
Ner can we call upon the parties to en-
force this compact. IF the States have
formed the Union it would be a most IL
legal procedure for the States to enforce
the Union. As well might he that is
damaged attempt by his own authority
to collect damages, or he that is a partner
attempt with his own hands to Ian hold
upon his fellow partners goods to idem-
nifty himself for q real or imaginary loss.
If the Union is a compact the doctrine
of secession is not after all very illogical.
For indeed party may often violate his
contract under the law aud there is no
remedy recognized except to mulct In
damages the wrong doer. The contract
itself often cannot be enforced. May not
this be the case In contract between
States? If the Southern States choose
to violate their stipulations, the Northern
States, If damaged thereby, certainly
ought to be indemnifed, but what right
have they, being partners te the stipula-
tions, to enforce them
Again, this doctrine Of compact admits
the right of revolution. A man may Ger
tainly violate his contract If he is willing
to take the consequences. May not
State do the same? For the sake of be-
ing released from an Odious obligation
man may be willing to sacrifice a great
deal. May not a State also? And If
State chooses to pay the price of indepeu
deuce who shall say that she Is not enti-
tied to it? Thus under the doctrine OF
we may at any time have justl-
fable revolution or rebellion.
The only safe plan is to reject this doc
trine altogether 1t may be historically
correct, but practically it is a dangerous
heTesy. The Union is simply centrali-
zation of communities called States
It is more than Union. it is an
immersion or swallowing up. The States
are swallowed up IN the grand cen
tral power, the power of the whole peo-
pie, known as the United States. They
can never lose their identities as commu-
mites, or States, for that is guaranteed
by the constitution Neither can they
ever lose their Identification with the ma
tional power; we are distinct as the
waves but one as the sea.

THREE WORDS OF STRENGTH

There are three lessons I yVonid write,
Three words as with burning pen,
In tracings Of eternal 1 'ght
Upon the hearts Of men.
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now
And gladness hide her face in scOru,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven
The Gains disport, the tempest's mirth;
Know this: God rules the host Of heaven,
The inhabitants Of earth.
Have Love; and not alone for one.
But man, as man, thy brother call;
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Hope, Faith and Love; and thou shalt find
Strength when Life's surges rudest roll,
Light where thou else vert blind

Methodists to settle in that State, and to instruct
them as to favorable localities, prices of lands,
and the resources of the country. 1t is stated
that an entire German village has sold out in

THE ONLY BASIS OF Freedom AND JUSTICE AT
THE SoUrH.-It is remembered that President
Johnson not many monthsago sent Carl Schurz on
a tour of general observation through the South.
His report abounds with assertions of general in
terest. Speaking of the feeling existing there
Immediately after the close of the war, he says
they would have regarded favor a readmis-
sion on any condition. He found four classes
First, those who, being compelled to yield, hon
esty endeavor to accommodate themselves to the
new order of things; second those who eager
TO have their State readmitted with the design of
fixing matters to their tastes afterward third
swaggering young men, loiterers and idlers, who
still assume to hope for Southern independence !;
and fourth the multitude of persons who have no
definite opinions, and are apt to be carried along
by those who know how to appeal to their i'm
pulses and prejudices. All these classes, he
says agreed that further resistance is useless,
and, therefore, all movements for separation
have been abandoned He thinks this loyalty of
a negative character, and adduces letters to show
that the people hostile in places where troops
have been Withdrawn.
In reference to the freedmen he thinks justice
can only be done by extending to them the cleo
tive franchise, and claims that their cmancipa-
ton is rather matter Of form than of fact, and
opposes, as unprecedented in history, the dis
position of the Government to instrust the de-
veopment of their freedom to the States lately
hoISng them in bondage. Of the manner in
which their emancipation is regarded by the peo-
pie of the South, and any attempt on the part of
the whites to deprive them of their rights, he
says:
sThe loyalty of the masses, and most of the
leaders, of the Southern people, consists in SUBJ
mission to necessity. The emancipation of slaves
is submitted to only in so far chattle slavery
in the old form could not be kept up. But, al
though the freedman is no longer considered the
property of an individual master, he is consider
ed the slave of society and all independent State
legislation will show tendency to make him
such
Practical attempts on the part of the Southern
people to deprive him of his rights as freeman,
may result in bloody collisions, and will certainly
plunge Southern society into restless, huctuating
and anarchic confusion
lie concludes by saying that the solution of the
problem will be very much facilitated by enab-
ling all loyal men and free labor elements of the
South to exercise a healthy influence upon legis-
lation. 1t will hardly be possible to secure the
freedmen against oppressive class legislation
and private Persecution, unless he is endowed with
a certain measure of political power.
