equality which the nature, habits

al strife, and arbitrates between them
with the sword. 1t is the policy OF
our rump parliament to produce the
same relations between the two sec
tons of our country, instead of the
happy Union which Lincoln and John.
son have labored to renew.
Congress is now in revolutionary
convention. The Presidents com
ment on the scheme which it proposes
is as Just as that i'll which he rebuked
Davis and his followers when they
abandoned the Senate to breach the
extinct rebellion, He raised his
warning voice then against their de-
signs, in the speech which he made
in the presence of the oonspiratOrs.
He characterized their crime by the
name with which the whole world
now brands it. The johnson Club,
now inaugurated, predicates it's polit-
zeal action on the principles and pol

lie says:
The rebellion is put down by the
strong arm of the Government, but
We are hardly out of the rebellion
before we are almost in the midst of
another rebellion. There is an at
tempt to concentrate the power of
the Government i'll the hands of q
few. and thereby bring about a
consolidation which is equally dan
gerouS and Objectionable with sepe-
ration. We find that in effect, by an
irresponsible central directory, nearly
all powers OF government are aSSum-
cd, without ever consulting the legis-
lative or executive departments of
the Government, by resolutions re-
ported by the committee upon whom
all the legislative power of the Gov
ernment has been conferred. That
principle in the Constitution which
authorizes and empowers each branch
of the legislative department TO be
Judge of the election and qualification
of its own members, has been virtual
ly taken away from those departments
and conferred upon a committee, who
must report before they can act under
the Constitution, and allow men,
berS, duly elected, to take their
seats. By this rule they assume that
there mast be laws passed; that there
must be recognition in respect to the
State in the Union with all its prac-
teal relations restored, before its
representatives are admitted.

can, to resist these entertainments
upon the Constitution and Govern
ment.

The address Of the National John.
son Club.

We gave the first part of this doc
ument in our Saturdays issue. We
give the concluding, and by far the
best, portion of it to-day.
1t must not be understood, by any
means, that in publishing this adj
dress we endorse every sentiment it
contains-not at all. In publishing
any address that emanates from a
National Club, or Committee, the
Southern editor will be necessarily
compelled to publish something that
is disagreeable and offensive to him
as Southern man. President John
son-friend of the South as he is, and
standing manfully by the Constitu-
ton as he does, almost invariably
speaks of those engaged in the late
revolution as "rebels" and trait
ors." Whereas, it is well known
that these epithets would be entirely
inappropriate, and would never be
used but for the fact that we failed
Had we succeeded in our revolutiona-
~ experiment, we would have been
recognized throughout the civilized
world as patriots and heroes. 1t is
only the turning of a straw-the
shifting of the wind-that makes us
one thing or the other, in the COM
mon parlance of the day. So, in the
address under consideration, Mr..
Calhoun is most unwarrantably stig-
matizcd as 1.-THE CATILINE of the
South" We will undertake in our
next issue to show that the Great
American Orator, JOHN CALDWELL
CALHOUN, and CAT-ELINE, were
as dissimilar as NERO and GEORGE
WASHINGTON.

co mel U ED.

The Constitution expressly pro
vides that the President of the Uni
red States and Congressional repre-
sentatives shall be chOsrn by the
votes of persons in each State an
rhorized by it to elect the popular
branch of its Legislature. This
right is expressly reserved to each
State to prevent the consolidation
of all power in the Congress of the
United States. If that body had
the right to make the votes empow
cred to elect it, the British Parlia
ment would not be more omnipotent
The leaders in the present Congress
have repeatedly declared that the
only loyal men in the South are the
negroes, and they insist that they
shall be entitled to universal suffrage,
while every white man shall be ex-
Guided who cannot take the test
oath, denying that he had ever SYM
pathiZed with any one engaged i'll
the rebellion. Congress has not vet
ventured to annul the clause in the
Constitution giving the creation of
electors to the several States; but
Mr.. Sumner, who speaks for the Sen
ate, has asserted that the late eman-
cipation amendment to the Constitu-
ton warrants the concession of
suffrage to the negroes, and meas
ure has been introduced in the House
of representative to deny it to all
the white people disqualified by the
test oath. But neither of these ex-
pedientS need be resOI ted to now.
Congress, by excluding from the
National Legislature the whole race
in the South that fought the battle
for our independence, and who con-
tributed largely in founding what
has hitherto been looked upon as
the white mans government, estab-
lished by his courage, intelligence
and labor, as his own freehold, and
as the inheritance of his children,
renders any further disfranchisement
superfuOus, and his degradation is
completed by putting the negroes
upon higher ground than the white
race in other respects, educating
their children at the national ex-
pense, feeding, clothing, and shell
tering the hundred thousands who
reject the tempting wages which in

that they should occupy positions

tudes of men and women of our kin

legislation being directed for the
most part to pat up the blacks and
degrade the white race in the pro-
scribed States, it is proper that the
