AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Our Supreme Court, now sitting at
Knoxville, has declared the acts of the
Legislature of this State passed after the
9th of May, 1861, unconstitutional. 1t
also declares the schedule to the Consti-
tuition adopted February, 1865, a part Of
the supreme law. Among other things,
Judge SHAckLEFoRD, who delivered the
opinion of the Court, says:
No one has ever doubted THE right
that according to the institutions of this
country, the sovereignty of every State
resides in the people of the State, and
they may alter or change their form of
government at their pleasure. a
This is very important, and is not cal.
culated to give mach pleasure to BRowN-
Low and company. The people of Ten
nessee, the highest tribunal in the State
maintains, has the right to alter or change
their form of government at their pleas
ure. II they have not, by what right was
our Constitution altered in 1865 ? Do
the men who made the alterations not
claim to have derived their authority to
do SO from the people2 However false
that claim may be, in point of fact, the
Supreme Court has recognized the sched-
ule, the work of their hands, as part
of the supreme law of the State. Now is
it not perfectly clear that the people of
the State, acting in their sovereign ca.
pac.ty, can, whenever they think proper,
amend the Constitution Can they not
perform the work through convention
without subjecting themselves to the
charge of bong traitors and revolution
