NOW, in violation of all these pledges you
design in bad faith to convert these States
into Territories. Where is the authority,
where is the law for it? Some gentlemen
contend the authority is to be found in that
portion of the Constitution which says that
State in the Union republican form of gov
eminent, and shall protect each of them
against invasion, and upon application of
the Legislature or of the Executive (when
the Legislature cannot be convened) against
domestic violence. Sir, that provision of the
Constitution, in my opinion, authorizes no
such thing as the conversion of those States
into provinces to be governed arbitrarily.
This clause of the Constitution contains no
such authority. 1t is q mere guarantee that
the Republican Governments of the States
shall be maintained. There was no author
ity given in that clause to convert States
into Territories so as to deprive them of all
representation in Congress. 1t is an obliga-
ton, in fact, imposed upon the Federal Gov
eminent to see that neither by domestic VIC.
lence, foreign invasion, nor in any other way
the Republican Governments of the States
should be Overthrown. Now, does that give
to the Government of the United States the
power to overthrow the State governments
when they are Republican in fact, and to
institute territorial governments so as to
deprive them of all representation in Con-
gress Was that the object Can this
Congress make them Territories at its dis
erection Can it reduce them to the condi-
ton of conquered and dependent provinces
when they choose and as they choose
Because the duty is imposed upon this Gov
eminent by the clause of the Constitution
above cited to protect the States as States
in the enjoyment of their republican forms
of government as existing, can it be conten-
ded with any show Ofreason that this power
or duty of the United States is properly ex-
ecuted and performed by overturning in
stead of guaranteeing the republican govern
ments of these States, by changing their
condition as States into that of dependent
provinces, and by denying to them their
right Misrepresentation in Congress- Never !

We hope that tie teachers through

yention to be held in this city ON
Thursday, 18th inst. The educational
interests of our State require more
systematic and vigilant attention, and
the professional teachers are the prop

measures are best calculated to that
end. We are confident of a large atten-
dance, and we are certain that much
good will result. Through the cour-

will be conveyed at half fare; and we

But you deny that they are States.
Well, sir, if man will deny a solemn
truth staring him right in the, face; if
man will deny what the records Of

will deny what is plainly stated in the
Constitution of the United States; if
man will deny the fact that Virginia,

Union created by that Constitution; if
a man will deny these things, how can

These states, through their delegates

framing the Constitution, and they, by
their several State conventions, adopt

day since they surrendered their ar

terms of accommodation that are not
degrading. They wanted repose, and
would have purchased it to the sacri-
fee of almost everything but homer.

the Northern politicians that they have
come to the conclusion to let them do
