EHE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE CONCERNING
STANTON'S REMOVAL

The Presidents message to the Senate. giving
reasons for the suspension of Stanton, is regarded
as mastery document He quotes Stantons
ply to his request that Stanton should resign
wherein Stanton says that considerations of n high
public character lead him to withhold his resigna-
ton until the next meeting of Congress This the
President holds was not an allegation merely but
form utterly wanting in the respect due from
Stanton to his superior officer. The point is made
that Stanton could not appeal to the law creating
the War Department, because the law gives the
President the right TO remove Stanton The Tenure
of office bill alone supported Stanton, but the law
did not compel him to retain the Office The Presi
dent argues the necessity of unity and harmony
among his constitutional advisers, and allules to
his having with one exception, retained the Cabi-
net of his predecessor; and states, incidentally,
that the Cabinet was unanimous in his policy of
reconstruction and upon the unconstutionality
of the tenure of Office bill. Stanton having been
United States Attorney, was specially consulted
and was emphatic and resoute in his condemna-
ton of the bill as unconstitutional. The most
pointed and specific charge refers 10 the New Or
leans riots According to the narrative, General
Beard reported to Stanton the danger of the riot
and asked advice. Stanton not only withheld in
strucons to Beard, but kept the dispatch from tile
President and his Cabinet until after the occur
renee of the riot. The President holds that had
Stanton acted himself, made the message OF
Beard known to his superiors the riot would have
been prevented. lie produces letter from Sheri-

THE CONSTITUTION OF ALABAMA.

The so-cacd Reconstruction Convention of Ala
bana has adjourned, after adopting Constitution
of the most proscriptivc and infamous character.
Radical leaders in The North cndcavsred to control
and modify the action Of this revolutionary body,
but all 10 no purpose. Tie invccratc hatred OF the
majority for all that is honorable anil their pred-
lccions for tcbased characters, induced the excr-
else OF their power for evil. AS n strange COM
mcnary upon the proceedings, we are pleased to
published the following dispatch from Montgomery
dated last Friday:
The -ddcertiser, of this morning, publishes tho
preamble and resolutions adopted by the Mont
gome-y Council Of the Union Loyal League, de-
nouncing the new Constitution. and chilling on the
colovcd lcngucrs TO aid in defeating it, declaring
thai the delegates TO the Convention went far be-
yond the purpose in view of their duties and in
strucions, and framed a Constitution dsfran-
chsing and prescribing portion of the most
intelligent and law-abding citizens Of Alabama,
and characterized in every feature by ficndish
motive Of revenge and hatred, and resolved, first,
that in The opinion of this Council tho said Cons;i-
tuition is an infamous fraud upon the rights of the
people of this State, and will, if ratified, inevitably
result in the dcbarrment Of the white race, and the
destruction of the black. That we cannot consis-
tently with our obligations as members Of the
Union Loyal League of America, give aid or sup
port in any manner whatcver TO the ncinrious
scheme TO destroy Mt one fell swoop the peace, the
happiness and prosperity, for all time to come OF
the whole people of the State of Alabama That
we, as Union Republicans, and members of the
Montgomery Council of America, call on all law
abiding and Union loving coorcd men of Alabama,

political adventurers, to break up the same. be-

TIE VIEW ALABAMA CONSTITUTION.

In looking over the new Radical Magma Charta
of Alabama wc find that in its principal features it
resembles the old constitutions We have known IN
this country since the American Revolution. In
some respects, however, as was to be anticipated,
the new one runs ahead of the old, will endeavor
to note the most striking of the changes:
/. Imprisonment for debt is prohibited.
2. No property qualification can be established
for electors of the State.
g. The clause of slavery reads as follows:
That no form of slavery shall exist in this State,
and there shall be no involuntary scrviudc other
wise than for the punishment of crime. of which
the party shall have been duly convicted.

chancery.

United Stales and every male person who has been

ded in this State six months next preceding the
