The most abused word in the American
vocabulary is loyalty. 1t Is high time that
the people should comprehend il, and put
an end to the crime and folly which, in the
shadow Of its name, have grown to such rank
luxuriance in this country. We do not pro-
pose to give history or description of the
base appliances to which this term has been
subjected, for It would fill volume; nor do
we propose TO enter upon a lengthy or meta
physical disquisition upon its characteristics.
1t is simple word, and to every clear and
unprejudiced mind, presents asimple idea.
We propose no definition of our own
either, bu: think the public will be satisfied
with the following explanation Of its mean
ing given in the Presidents speech on the
22d of February:

THE Conservative members of the Legis-
lsture, by resigning their seats, referred the
question that was in issue back to the people.
II the people have been improperly repres-
ented, they win elect other members in their
stead but if they have been correctly re-
presented, they will approve the action Of
these members by rejoicing them.
Gov. Fletcher and Sec. Brownlow main
tain, however, that the people have not this
choice, and that to re-elect the same men
would be revolutionary" They say:
They 1.-THE recusant mernbers] ask their constitu-
ents TO approve their act, and to send them baek

| rebellion against the State Government, and rem
der futile any attempt to fill the vacancies by
writs of election the same routine would be re-
peated. The danger 20 the State IL therefore
imminent.
This isnovel doctrine 1t might have done
under military rule, but it viii not be ac-
cepted by a free people under any other.
What is to be done in the event the people
1.-The loyal people, for none other have
right to vote under the present disfranchis-
ing act, fixed up by the Radicals themselves
should presist in rejoicing these gentle
men as their Representatives, is a nice
question? But the Governor announces it.
| He says:
Should the civil government fail. the mill;
tary authorities will take control Of the State, and
il Is not likely that the General Government will
at an early day. permit a people who will have
displayed such incapacity for self government 10
attempt another State organization.
The Governor may have intended this
in the nature Of a threat. IL so ne
will find it very far from answering the
purpose he had in view. Every oneofthese
recusant members can prove better record
for consistent loyalty to the Union than
either the Governor or his Secretary and
the great body of the people supporting
them-even those who were engaged in the
rebellion-are more sincere and earnest in
their desire to restore the government, the
State and the people under them, than Gov.
Fletcher or Secretary BrowHiow; ami rather
than submit TO thess revolutionary usurpa-
tions which they and their co-adjutors are en-
deavoring 10 impose on them, they will
gladly accept return to military rule. Any
kind Of rule is better than the usnrpations of
tyranny in the hands of men who are the
mere creatures of british hate and sordid
selfshness.

ernor, " if the effort should be permitted
that the different divisionSof the State will
agree upon a new constitution, and diseord
and a separation may follow"
This is understood as an intimation that

TnE HUMAN BoDY.-Thc proper
tions of the human figure are strictly
mathematical. The whole figure is
six times the length of tho foot.
Whether the form be slender or plump
the rule holds good any deviation
from it is a departure from the high
est beauty in proportion. The Greeks
made all their statues according to
this rule. The face from tho highest
point of tho forehead, where the hair
begins, to the chin, is one-tenth the
whole stature. The hand, from the
wrist to the middle finger, is tho same.
From the top Of the chest to the high
est point in the forehead is Il seventh.
If the length of the face, from the
roots Of the hair to the chin, be divid-
ed into three parts, the first division
determines the place where the eye
bro%s meet, and the second the place
of tho nostrils. The height, from the
feet to the top of the head. is the same
as the distance from the extremity of
the fingers when tho arms arc extend

Tho Constitutional Amendment.

Senator Sharkcy, Of Mississippi, has
taken the bull by til" horns Amli:ipa-
ting the Legislative session Of his State,
he has written a letter to Governor
Humphreys concerning the constitution
al amendment, urging its rejection if
presented for ratification. He gives the
following solid reasons for spurning it !:
In tho first place, it is not believed
that the amendment was recommended
by two thirds Of Congress, rs II BODY SO
composed is not he Congress of the
United States, n considerable number of
States being excluded from representa-.
t'on. Any body OF nsurprrS may as well
claim to 90 the Congress OF the United
States, and New York and Pennsylva,
ma, Tor instance, may So manage to cx.
cludc first one small State aud another,
until they control the legislative power
Of the nation, will, equally as much pro.
prlcty as the majority now excludes
States from representation. We. cannot
be told that because We adopted the
anti'savery amendment we recognized
he present Congress as constitutional,
for we had not then elected or sent
members to the Congress which recon.
mcndcd il, rs we have dono in the case
Of the pending one
No resolution can DO communicated
to the States except through the Presi
Silent; and as the proposed amendment
was not submitted, it is n nullity.
Another objection to the amendment
is, that willie it prohibits tho States
from abridgins tho privileges or immu.
mites OF citizens, it Dies not specify
what those privileges are, that being let
to Congress, which is empowered to en-.
force the article by appropriate lcgisla::
ton. Congress may confer privileges
on one class to the exclusion Of anoth.
er; or it may assume absolute control
over the people and their domestic. con
Germs, and thus virtually abolish the
State.
The second section, in regard TO ne.
gro suffrage, would probably exclude at
least ono State from representation, as
the number Of male negroes over TWEEN.
ty'onc is equal to the number of white
males.
w t"'tu, VI oiSliuhCnlSlUS Clause, Is
sweeping in its effect, for there are few
who have not some way or another ta.
Ken an oath to support the Constitution
Such provision would be SO contrary
to the theory of our Government, and so
oppressive towards q very large class Of
no population Of the Southern States,
that it cannot be supposed that those
who proposed it could have entertained
a hope that it would be accepted. They
ought to have known, too, that snch a
provision was calculated to endaneer
the existence Of the Government, as 70
vol''ioas may always be expected, soon.
cr or later, from acts which disfrai. .chised
the cnfranchisol acts.
The fifth section is the Trojan Horse,
abonndiug in mischief. 1t provides that,
Congress shall have powor to enforce,
by appropriate legislation, tbs provisions
ofthis article" which may be construed
to authorize Congress to do whatever it
may desire to do. Should the amend.
ment become part oftho Constitution.
We. shall have o far d,ffercnt Govern
ment from th' inherited from our ia.
theirs.
