A Warning From History.

Congress proposes to overthrow the Ex-
ecutive, and to emasculate the Judicial de-
partment of tho Government. This dUne,
all power will be concentrated in the Legis-
lative department, which, unrestrainet by
Constitutional provisions and Limitations,
will administer the governments, through
its committees, enacting, constituting, and
executing laws. The republic. will have
given away to an oligarchy the only con-
stitntion recognized will be the popular
will the minority will have no rights and
no protection; the property and the liberty
Of the citizens will be enjoyed subject to
the whims and caprice of a mob; there will
be power without law, equality. without
justice, wrongs withoutremedies, despotism
without responsibility.
This state of affairs is among the posi-
bilities Of the future; it must result from
the success of the schemes entertained by
the Radicals leaders in Congress- should
it be reached, how long will it be before
the people will be driven to turn upon their
oppressors9 What will be the fate of the
tyrants who in the name Of liberty will
have reduced a free people to slavery9' .
The English Parliament ought to limit
the prerogatives of the king ostensible to
preserve the liberty of the people and to
maintain the Constitution. With its sic
cess, grew its demands. From Constitn-
tional resistance, it appealed to arms It
declared support to the king, treason It
deposed his majesty, tried, convicted, and
executed him. At this moment, it found
that instead Of having concentrated all
power in its own hands, which had lately
been it's object, it had a master in the
army--a master more exacting, more vio-
lent, less reasonable, and more to be dread
ed than Charles had been. Ithad created
the army to dethrone the king; and the
king was dethroned and dead, it found the
army conscious Of it's power and ready to
use it.
The army had overturned the throne; it
turned its bayonets upon the parliament;
and with0uta struggle, the parliament was
stripped, not only Of the power it had
usurped, but of all power save such as it
suited the interests Of its new masters to
allow it to exercise. The constitution OF
the country was destroyed; but the army,
not parliament, was master; and the
favorite Of the army, the godlyiOliver, be-
came prophet, priest, and king, Under the
title Of Protector" Il
In the end, the people gladly welcomed
back the old system, and receive with open
arms the murdered king; they had suffered
so greatly, endured SO much, that even the
dessolute Charles II. inspired them with
[hope Of relief, and they hailed him as a
deliverer. s. -. ;..
Congress may succeed for o time, thc
President may be impeached; Stevens and
Boutwell, and Butler may lord it over the
land, and in tho name of liberty and eqHali.
ty and fraternity re-enact the scenes Of the
French revolution; but it must invoke the
aid of.the army, and the army within the
end crush it, and a soldier will grasp the
sceptre, and the betrayed people will say,

soY This remark illustrates, by the
extreme case, the quality of the rights
which even the constitutional prohibi-
ton OF slavery--the boast OF the age
ls powerless to strengthen. "No rights
that the master is bound to respectn is
accepted as the most fragrant of all de-
fnitions of slavery. The EXTREMIST
hardship of the enslaYed negro was
supposed to be strongest shown by this
phrase; yet here it is applied to all the
people of ten States. This military
commander is to project all persons in
their rights and property, and for this
purpose he is to be absolutely free to do
as lie may please. That is q definition
Of sheer despotism. 1t is tile formula
of Dionysius of Syracuse, of Henry the
Eighth, of Nicholas of Russia. It is an
express negation Of all rights, But, it
is said bad as this may be, it is only
operative III the South. Were that the
worst, Heaven must frown on any man
who would witness such oppression :
The only security of liberty in any So
ciety is the sovereignty of the people,
and the only security for that sover-
eighty is the sonctity ofMe principle
TO strip the sovereign power from our
neighbors is to strip the sovereign prin-
ciple from ourselves, umconsciohsiy, at
first, it may be, but soon to be realized,
ao a betrayed people stand, bereft of
majestyj shiyering before the cleaning
sword and arrogant froWfl of their own
demagogues.
Let it once become familiar to the
public mind that popular sovereignty
is to be enjoyed or denied according to
circumstances. and, the principle thus
dead, there Is no moral foundation of
liberty, and no restraint upon dema-
goguery. At such O time, d military
chief, having a soldieiy in charge, ia
miliar with oppression, and cateless of
the principle once so dear to us all,
would have but to persuade himself
that he could better the condition of the
country, and that his force was the
stronger, to enter at once; without
scruple and necessarily without failure,
upon a subversion of any existing adj
ministration or government, relying,
not without well-founded confidence,
on the applause Of many. and the ac-
quiescence Of more, hopeless Of better,
and glad Of repose.
