LETTER FROM GEORGE TICKNOR


CURTIS. aajsd sa.
Geo. Ticknor Curtis, Esq, of New
York, one of the most eminent constitu-
tional lawyers in the country, responded
to the invitation of the Clay Statue Com
mittee to be present at Louisville on
Thursday last, in letter which we would
be glad to reproduce entire in our col
umus 1t is replete with sound and
wholesome views that it would be well if
every man in the nation could ponder and
digest After appropriately referring to
Mr.. Clay and his great compeer Webster,
who was the tutor of Mr.. Curtis. the let,
ter says: %
We seem to have lost the sense ofthe bind
ing moral obligation of fundamental law.
The country is no longer governed by, or
according to written constitution. Ii is
governed by the will of a political party,
acting without reference to the constitution,
and as it sees fit to act. The consequence
OF all this is. that the relations of the Fed
eral government to the sovereignities of the
States are completely seyersed. At no
former period of our history has it ever
been imagined that the Federal power
conld dictateto State who shall or shall
not constitute part OF the sovereign peo-
pie of the State for the purpose of govern
ment. By the constitution of the United
States, it remains absolutely with the peo-
pie of each State to determine who shall
exercise the elective franchise within such
State, and he who asserts or represents that
it is otherwise deludes and deceiges those
whom he can persuade to believe him. 1t
is, too, an undeniable principle of our
constitutional law that the question of
what changes shall be made in the ex-
lsting constitution ofa State, so as to admit
to the elective franchise persons not at
present included in it, rests entirely with
those who constitute the voting sovereign
people under the existing constitution.
Yet, in sheer violation of these unquestion-
able truths, the Federal government sends
into the State a military force empowered
TO sweep away their existing constitutions,
to subvert the sovereignty Of their people,
and to summon to the polls in the act of
making a new constitution whomsoeyer
Congress sees fit to designate for that pur-
pose. We have thus entered upon the career
of founding State governments upon force
land upon external force. This stupendous
precedent cannot be without lasting, cores
ponding results. 1t marks the overthrow of
the last barrier to complete consolidation
for, if the existence of a supposed necessity
or expediency, to be judged of by present
majority of Congress, can furnish reason
to-day for subverting the sovereignty of a
State BY force, 1t can furnish just as good a
reason hereafter for the exercise of the same
force to the same end. The party adminis-
tering the Federal government has only to
will that new State government shall be
founded on the sufrages of those who are
not voters by the fundamental law of the
State, and the thing Is done by the ire
sistible and overwhelming force which the
Federal government wields. ~

UNVAILINa THE STATUE OF HEN.
RY CLAY

! Harris magnificent statue of the Great
Commoner was unveiled at Louisville on
the S0th of May, and thousands of Ken
tuckians participated in the ceremonies Of
the day. The following ode written for
the occasion by George d. Prentice, was
chanted while the vail which hung around
the statue was slowly lifted: M
Halt true and glorious semblance, hail I e,
OF him, the nOblest Of our race
We seem, at lifting of thy vail, asf
To see again his living face
To hear the stirring words once more,
~ That like the st0rn-god's Is eadence pealed
With mightier power from shore 70 Shore
Than thunders of the battlefield.
Lol that calm, high, majestic look, p
y That hides our gaze as by SPELL
IL is the same that erst-while shook
The traitors on whose souls it fell /
Oh that he were again IN life :
To wave, as once. his wand of power.
And scatter far the storms ct strife
That Ger oar country darkly lower
Again, again. and yet again k
lie rolled back PASSIONS roaring tide
When the fierce souls of hostile men In
Each others widest wrath de6ed.
Alas alas dark storms at length
Sweep Ger our half-wreeked ship of state.
And there seem none with viii and strengt b
To save her from her awful fate! 3aA
But thou. majestic image thou 4.
Wilt in thy lofty place abide a.
And many mauly head will bow
While gazing on nations pride,
And while his halloWed ashes lie
Afar beneath old Ashland sod,
One gaze at thee should sanetify
Our hearts to country and TO God. y

IL is not true that the normal relations of
those States to the Federal government
could not have been reinstated without
tearing up the foundations of their law.
II is not true that in order to recognize
them as States Of this Union, it was neces-
sary to place upon them the heel of mill
tary conquest and to stamp out their very
existence as free, selfgoverning and sove-
reign American States. For every act of
needless arbitrary power that men can do,
there is retribution and nations are no
more exempt than individuals from the
moral laws which ordain retribution. 1t
will come when We have come to the loss
of political system which has been our
glory, our safety, our happiness, our boast,
our sole safeguard against the establishment
of despotic power. 60 rl

This sort of talk is not so popular as

IT will be remembered that some
months ago financial agency was es-
tabIlshed in New York for the sale Of
bonds OF the Republic OF Mexico to the
amount of $50, OOO, GOO. The managers
were clever enough to adverlise them
all over the country by means Of the
telegraph and the associated press, and
1t appears that considerable amount
of this paper was negotiated at rates
varying from ten to sixty cents on the
dOllar.in United States currency. The
interest en- some OF these bonds, OF 7
per cent. per annum, payable semi
annually in gold, was due on the LIST
instant. but as We learn from the Times,
the Juarez agents deferred payment.
On Wednesday some OF the bondhOlders
again demanded their interest and
were again refused with a statement
that there were no funds to meet such
obligations. Protest for non-navrnent
was therefore entered upon the c6ipoiis
by notary public in behalf OF the
holders. This must rather be uisheS1ts
ening for the boudholders, but Nc, snp-
pose the news of the capture OF Maxi
