Secession vindicatsd

The doctrine upon which tbs Radicals
base their southern policy, when examined,
leads rresistably to the condasioh thatnot
only did the rigas ofsseccssicn exist % to
rl86l. but that it is recognized as existing
now, by that party. The ground for their
treatment of the south, as given by Stevens,
and taken by the famous-or Infamous
Bill, F" is that, by the act of secession, those
states forfeited their rights as states and be-
came, by process of war, conquered terrific
ry, " the control Of which forthwith attached
to the government of the conquerers. / be-
lieve this is a fair and full statement of the
political dogma which the Radical party
have adopted as the fundamental basis, on
which to re construct the Union.
If they forfeited their right as states by
secession, they became-what? Territory
ofthe remaining Statesi?a Whatrights did
they forfeit? The people of the several
states were distinct sovereignties, as such
they created two governments, with limited
rights and powers, one of states, one national
Previous to the compact they were states
foreign to each other, such they must again
become Jthey can dissolre the compact
now if they forfeited their rights as states
by any act, they must be considered as
having only lost those rights which related
to the compact. 1t is impossible to con-
ceiye, that any state, can by any such act,
forfeit the sorercignty of its people, to the
other equal similar sovereignties If they
can forfeit those rights as States, and did
by the act of secession. they become, not
the common property of the United States,
hut foreign states. And it is only as
having been such foreign states that they
can now lie treated as conquered terrific
RES For the very term implies a previous
war between two distinct nations, and the
conquest of rne and occupation of its terri
tory by the other. Conquered territory can
only arise in this man ,er. 1t arises in
cases when no previous title to the land ex-
listed. For if such title had existed and it
was successfully asserted, such land has on
~ been reclaimed, not conquered. 1f
Then the acts of secession served to rem.
der them, temporarily, as it proved, foreign
states.
Now If VIC must accept as true that they so
become foreign states--and it is absolutely
necessary to a proper reconstruction Of the
south the Radicals eravely assure us-we
must also recognize the right by which they
become foreign states. For if we deny the
right to be separate nations We virtually de-
ny that they are such in fact. and that
would not do. "ff ,n.i5.Hs 81 faur r.
The southern states become foreign states,
if at all, by their acts Of secession. s91
Treating them as once foreign states re-
cognizes the right by which they are, or
become SUCH
Therefore, the Radical Congress, in treat
ing the southern states as foreign states,
recognized the right Of secession.

81 In the Michigan constitutional conyen-
ton, clause extending the right Of suf-
fragc to Indians has been adopted. On
Monday last, a motion was made to quail
lily the clause extending the right of snf.
frage to all male Indians, natives of the
United States, by requiring that they shall
be civilized, but it was afterwards rejected
on the ground that it was of no practical
value. 1t was also moved to require that
it should apply only TO Indians who have
dissolved tn cir tribal relations. It was ar
gued that this would cut off every Indian
vote, and this was defeated All Indians
in that State are therefore now voters,
under the clause. -. .'-,, 49,.

Stanton kicked Ont.

Laus Dec! johnson has done one good
thing. he has kicked Stanton out of the
Cabinet. He would not go out until he was
kicked out. In this respective fear be rep
rescnts the Mongrel party. 1t is doubtful
whether they will give up power until COM
PEELED to. Mr.. johnson asked Mr.. Stanton to
resign, when he sent a most insulting letter:
telling him that lie would not, whereupon Mr..
johnson suspended him, and made General
Grant acting Secretary of War. We would
fondly hope that the linch-pin being knocked
oni, the whole wagon will fall to pieces. There
has been a mysterious influence surrounding
Mr.. Johrson, which no theory has been able
to unravel. Why he should retain Stanton,
who has opposed him at every step, and why
Seward should be the defender and supporter
of Stanton, though pretending to differ from.
him, and support the President, all these are
curious facts, and difficult to be understood
by outsiders.
Would that Andrew Johnson would rise
like giant refreshed, and hurl The enemies
of our country to perditon. All he has to do
is, simply 10 obey lis oath Of fo6ice. He is Com
mander-n. Chief Of the army. Let him with
draw it al once from the southern States and
send it to Gen. Sherman to protect our wes.
tern settlers. Let him administer the govern
ment on the Constitution, pure and simple,
and pay no attention whatever to these So
called laws of Congress, that presume to wipe
out States. Is lie 10 turm traitor because Con.
gress hasl That is the question for him 10
ask himself, and answer if be can. With hone
grand effort now he could light the ship of
State. Let him put Seward in the same boat
with his friend Stanton, and get rid at once
and forever of the whole gang of plotters
conspirators and architects Of ruin, who have
dragged our country into its present abyss Of

King John.

John Pope, one OF the FIVE American mon.
archs, and King of Georgia, Alabama and
Florida, has issued his Royal Edict No 40.
Had any one predicted five years ago that q
person would be clothed with authority or
placed in position to issue such an order in
this country, he would have been accounted
fit only for lunatc asylum but now, SO far
from that, we are becoming accustomed to
such things, and are bowing our necks uuder
the imperial yoke with all due Submis ion.
King Johu, when he was nothing but a
Major General, had his 8 Headquarters in the
saddle but now he sits on throne erected
in Atlanta, and wieldi sccptre over realm
embracing what some people are simple
enough TO believe are "three States Of this
UNION" to wit: Georgia, Alabama and
Fiori q. In those States newspapers are
printed, and people, to make Heir business
kno,cn, adce,tise in Mcm ; civil officers are also
in the habit OF informing, through these pa
pers, the people of the time and place of pub
lie meetings in which they are interested.
The edict No. 40, from his Majesty, King
John, directs thai these civil officers must
publish their advertisements 10 a certain class
of nc,cspapers-those favorable to the Com
gressional policy Of Reconstruction, and he
instructs all military officers, of whatever de-
gree, grade, or style Of service, to see that
this ediet is strictly enforced, aud to promptly
arrest and report ,he slightest violation Of it.
King John has, in realty, no such po'nsy
and authority. 1t is IN assumption of acsso-
tism which no absolute monarch in the world
except one Of the Five American Monarchs,
wonld dare think of for moment. 1t would
cost the sEingdom and Throne of the Might.
est ruler in the Universe 10 attempt such an
abridgement of tho PEOPLES RIGHTS
How long will the American people submlit
to such things? Can't they see the nevits-
BILE tendency of such submission? What has
become of the SPIRIT OF '7G :" The quicker
King Joh Is throne crunbles to the dust the
better it will be for the Washing
ton Constitutional Union.
