The janitor, who Intends the Recorders
Court Room, opened and lighted the institu~
tion shortly after six o'clock. In the course
Of thc evening six persons, five Of whom
lIarc heretofore been identified with tue
Democratic party, came to the meeting, but
at no time were there more than four per-
cons in the room together. The Coppcrhcads
went away intensely dIsgustcd, alleging that
the whole mischief lay in the fact that A.
johnson had not used the axe with sufficient
decision in these parts. They believed that
the Federal oG'cc-1loldcrs In Chicago were
al1 Radicals at heart, aud they knew that
the National Union party" would never
flourish until A. j. should remove the whole
set and give the offices 10 his only true
friends, the Coppcrhcads. It is needless to
add thnt no business was transacted.

truth of this sIiom. as well as the tact tia
violations Of Constitutions, laws, vested rights
&c. IN thIs work. have IN variably been at oace
and permanently accepted and justified By
those for whose benefit they are alleged TO have
been done. Constitutions, in fact, are made
only to b. operative until the affairs OF those
for " HON 'aey are made outgrow them. In
this conStTy, vnth the effort OF the rebellion 70
destroy that OF our Union. they were chang d
only pro foTmd. Throughout Europe. IN the
meanwhile, they have often succumbed to
violence. In England, with all her boosted
veneration of and adherence TO ancient law,
they have varied the kalediescope. under
the Influence OF changes wrought In the Eng
lish popular mind by the events of her sue.
eeedicg civil wars. What was Englaud's fun
damen'al law when the Romans held her.
wac not her law IN sAifred's TINE. Nor Was her
law OF Alffeds time her law under Henry VIII.
Nor was her law OF III at period. her law " hen
Cromwell ruled. Nor again. was her law
then. her law under the Stuart restoration. And
still again. ner constitutional law OF that time
is well nigh totally different from that which
prevails in our own times. Yet how few of
these many sweeping changes were made by
positive enactment and how many were the
work of sudden changes in the general view
of the necessities of the times growing out OF
political com motions and CIVIL warsl However
much they may have invaded vested rights,
there lives not the re aiding man who does not
comprehend that each and all Of them bettered

the people of the South may profitably take to
heat They tell most forcIbIy of the futility of
efforts of leaders, classes or States 10 preserve
vested rights, which-howeyer bolstered up by

struction; the jurisdiction OF Congress over the
whole subject; the illegality Of existing gov.
ernments in the rebel States; and the exclusion
of such States with such illegal governments
from representation in Congress, and from
voting % constitutional amendments.
The resolutions declare "that all proceedings
