the 10th says:
Our townsman, S. B. Zeigler, ESQ.,, has
at length opened Banking and Exchange
Office in this place Us will be seen by his
card published in another column. He
has finely furnished Office in the Com
mcrcial Block, and has provided himself
with first-class fire and burglar proof
safe, and is now ready for the transaction of
business. We shall expect to see him well
patronized, as an institution of that kind
has long been needed in this county. Mr..
Zeigler has resided among us for over 10
years, and has acquired business reputa-
ton second to none. Those desiring to
transact business with him can depend up
on it that they will find him safe, sound
and reliable.
That thriving town has long felt the
need of such an institution, and it pleases
us to record the establishment of one by an
honorable, capable and in every way wor-
thy man, who has long been one of the best
citizens in the county. We predict for the
West Union Bank what it cannot fail to
obtain, under the control of man possess
ing the. business qualifications of our
friend Zeigler, perfect success and an
honor to the county in which it is.
Chas. O'Neil, the murderer of Barney
Leavy, of Waukon, noticed in our last is
sue, has been arrested and lodged in Jail.
The circumstances Of this murder are de-
scribed in the Lansing Journal of the 18th
inst, as follows:
On Sunday afternoon last, Charley o.
Neil, one of the best farmers in Allamakee
county, but man Of terrible temper,
when excited, had few words with man
named Leavy, who is said to be quiet
intensive man, at the Brewery on the Lam
sing Ridge, and afterwards they separated
Leavy left the brewery to put up his team
at hotel mile distant, and while pass
ing corner of the road, where thick un-
derbrush abounds, was met by O'Neil,
who sprang upon him, armed with dirk
and revolver, and without word struck
him down. Leavy's body presents Mir-
teen CHASTITY wounds inflicted with the
knife. O'Neirs passion amounted to per-
feet frenzy. lie literally cut Leavy to
pieces, striking him in every part of the

never witnessed.

ment of free commonwealth, and gives
still firmer assurance Of the future power
and freedom of the Republic. For what
ever responsibility the Southern people
may have incurred in resisting the author
ity of the National Government, and in
taking up arms for its overthrow, they
may be held to answer as individuals, be-
fore the judicial tribunals of the land; and
for that conduct, as societies and organic
ed communities, they have already paid
the most fearful penalties that can fall on
offending States, in the losses, the suffer-
ings, and humiliation of unsuccessful war.
But whatever may be the guilt or the
punishment of the conscious authors of
the Instruction, candor and common just
ice demand the concession that the great
mass of those who became involved in it's
responsibility acted upon what they be-
lieved to be their duty, in defense of what
they had been taught to believe their
rights, or under compulsion, physical
and moral, which they were powerless to
resist.
Nor can it be amiss to remember that
terrible as have been the bereavements
and the losses Of the war, they have fallen
exclusively upon neither section and upon
neither party; that they have fallen in
deed, with far greater weight upon those
with whom the war began. That in the
death of relatives and friends; the disper-
sion of families; the disruption of social
ties; the overthrow of governments of law
and order; the destruction of propeaty,
and of forms, and modes, and means Of
industry; the loss Of political, commercial,
and moral influence in every shape and
form which great calamities can assume
tho States and people which engaged in
the war against the Government of the
United States have suffered tenfold more
than those who remained in allegiance to
its Constitution and laws.
These considerations may not, AZ they certainly do
not justify the action of the people Of the nsurgent
states; but no just generous mind will refuse to
them very considerable weight in determining the
line Of conduct which the Government of the United
States should pursue toward them They accept fnot

CURED thereby no new power, no enlarged
jurisdiction, no rights, either of territorial
possession or of civil authority, which it
did not possess before the rebellion broke
out All the rightful power it can ever
possess is that which is conferred upon it,
either in express orms or by fair and nee
essary implication, by the constitution of
the United States. It was that, however.
and that authority which the rebellion
sought to overthrow; and that victory of
the Federal arms was simply the defeat of
that attempt.
| The government Of the United States
| acted throughout the war on the defensive.
| 1t sought only to hold possession of
what was already its own. Neither the
war nor the victory by which it was closed
changed in any way the constitution of the
| United States. The war was carried on by
virtue OF its provisions, and under the linn
ltations which they prescribe, and the re-
| suit of the war did not either enlarge,
abridge, or in any way change or affect the
powers it confers upon the Federal Gov
eminent, or release the Government from
the restrictions which it has imposed
| The constitution of the United States is to-
day, precisely as it was before the war, the
supreme law of the land, any thing in the
constitution or laws of any State to the
contrary Notwithstanding. To-day, also,
as precisely before the war, all the powers
! not conferred by the constitution upon the
general government; nor prohibited by it
to the States, are reserved to the Federal
States, or to the people thereof. This DO
sition is vindicated, not only by the essen
tial nature of our government and the Ian
guage and spirit of the constitution, but by
all the acts and the language Of our gorern-
ment in all its departments, and at all times
from the outbreak Of the rebellion to its f.
nal orerthro,c. In every message and pro-
clamation Of the Executive it was explicitly
declared that the sole object and purpose
of the war was ''to maintain the authority
Of the constitution and to preserve the in
tegrity Of the Union;' and congress more
than once reiterated this solemn declaration
and added the assurance that whenever
that object should he attained the war

tuition (aftlcle l, section 'shall be COM
posed of members chosen every second
year by the people of the several states. y
Not only is the right of representation
thus recognized as possessed by all the
states, and 10y every state without restric-
ton, qualification, or distinction of any
kind, but the duty of choosing representa-
tives is imposed upon the people of each
and every state alike, without distinction,
or the authority to make distinctions
among them for any reason or upon any
grounds whatever. And in the senate. SO
careful is the constitution to secure to eve
ry state this right of representation, it is
explicitly provided that no state shall,
without its consent, be deprived of its equal
suffrage in that body, even by an amend
ment of the constitution itself When,
therefore, any state is excluded from such
representation, not only is a right of a
state denied, but the constitutional integ-
rity of the senate is impaired, and the val
idity of the government itself is brought
in question.
But congress, at the present moment,
thus excludes from representation in both
branches of congress ten states of the un-
ion, denying them all share in the enact
ment of laws by which they are to be gov
erned, and all participation in the election
Of officers by which those laws arc to be
enforced. In other words, congress in
which only twenty-six states are represent
ed asserts the right to govern absolutely,
in its own discretion, all the thirty-six
states which compose the union to make
their laws and choose their rulers, and to
exclude the other ten from all share in
their own government, until it sees fit to
admit them thereto. What is there to dis
tinguish the power thus asserted and ex-
ercised from the most absolute and intol-
cradle tyranny?
First, Nor do these extravagant and UNI
just claims on the part Of congress to pow
ers of authority never conferred upon the
government by the constitution, find any
warrant in the arguments or excuses urged
on their behalf. 1t is alleged, at first, that
these states, by the act Of rebellion, and by

Bellows Falls was made IN Wednesday
night. The outer door of the Bank was
found open, and the lock Of the vault door

glars were just reaching the coveted prize,
they were evidently frightened, rs not a
dollar was missing from the vault, while
their touls were left in the Bank, and a
