How the Country is Governed.

This country is. now governed by one
third of its political authority. The North is
about equally divided for and against the
Presidential and Constitutional policy, while
the South is unit in favor of the restoration
of the Union. 1t is clear enough that state
of things SO utterly opposed to the spirit of
our free and representative system cannot con-
tinue. Instead of being governed according
TO the theory Of our government by MAORI
ty OF the people, we are now governed by a
minority, and minority comprising only one
81 thirdsof the people.
azs And this is not all nor the worst This mi
nority is CO ntrolling the affairs of this nation,
in SO far as it can, for the injury of all. 1t is
saying and its acts are in entire accord with
its seatiments, and there shall be no reunion,
pacifcation, no restoration Of quiet and of per-
manent, concord aunti and useless all con-
ferred upon the States by the Constitution,
and all the safeguards oflberty comprised in
and held out by that instrument, are waived
not only by the South but also by the North.
For it is worthylof the deepest consideration
that it is impossible for the people to permit
the. Constitution to be signoredkor violated in
part aud as to portion of the people of the
United States, without imperilling or DESTROY
ing its vital force and efficacy as to all
III lis illeftosllppose that we can permit a
disregard of the fundamental law as respects
the South, and yet maintain it in full vigor
and efficiency in so far as it regulates and Sc
cures the rights and liberties Of the people of
the South. s @
The long and short of the case is, that the
Constitution must be upheld in its letter and
its spirit everywhere and for all, or there is
no security for any. 5Al3
We are quite aware that this view of the
case will not at deter the Radical leaders
from persistence in their secession and dis
union plans. They do not wish to preserve
our republican system Of government They
are anxious to overthrow it, and erect upon
its ruins a more centralized, powerful and
splendid government, in which the rich and
the few shall have all the power, and in viii, b
the great majority of the people shall be the
mere serfs to do their will, and receive SO
much and no more OF the blessings of freedom
as they are willing to bestow upon them
1t seems indeed strange that a minority,
offering no plan of restoration, giving no
pledges that anything the South may do shall
entitle it to representation in Congress, but
whose whole capital is agitation, and whore
entire craftsmanship hate, should yet maintain
its supremacy. That it can do so long is not
in the nature ofthngs, if indeed the people
mean to preserve the rights and privileges
which they have heretofore considered as
their dearest earthly Inheritance ~ Provi-

CAIRO, H., Oct. 8.
Colonel Stencil, of Texas and Col. Ding
ham, of Alabama, part of the delegation Of
Southern Loyalists, arrived yesterday, and
attempted to speak in the evening at the the>
ater, but the disturbing elements and tumult
in the crowd were so great that the speakers
could not proceed. Mayor Wilson went on
the stand while Stencil was trying to speak,
and urged the people to preserve order or
leave the house, at the same time stating that
he had no sympathy with the meeting; but his
advice was disregarded, and the meeting was
broken up. The crowd continued their noisy
demonstrations until after midnight. one Of
which was tearing down the national flag from
the portico of the theater. Stencil and
bingham left for St. Louis this morning, and
the city is quiet.
