John Forsythe Of The Mobile Advertiser, writes thus;
'Now, civil out of this conflict Of political
or war and its terrors in their deadlest FORM not

Objection is made down this way to the endorsement OF

A Mr. Williamson, of Shreveport La, said at New

The Hon. f. Z. Ewing Of Tennessee has
lately printed the following letter.
cannot agree to the doctrine OF Judge Gaut and
others If understand It rightly, that the peace, ha-
piness and good order Of the state demand that we an
submit with becoming respect and obedience TO the laws
of the laud nhtl hey are Iepeaeu OF ueclIeu lC ~
the courts" II ls true tha meaning may Dc put upon
the sentence inst quoted which would in some degree,
free 10 from objection for strictly speaking an uuc0ust
tutional law or enactment Is not the law OF the lana
suppose however the meaning Of the above sentence a
intended by the gentleman, is thh: Iha the people OF
istiuC Legislature, however oppressive unconstitutional
tyranncal, until repealed OF declared VOID by me
courts with his position am not satisfied take issue
with the gentleman IL Is eNpedient sometimes to sub
time rather than appeal immediately 10 the ultimate ar
bitter but when the Legislature has become by accident
ass,ptiOu and force, possessed Of power which u
@ s m I9 @ ,lU it 81 and he mere registers of is
edct; where all the executive Offices filed by the
ministers Of this faction where IN one word the whole
5tate mas c0 into groove in which whatever the con
sequences Il must forever without irregular
DeSps must reere heseires b direct and immediate ac
liO under the Hrs clause Of me constitution OF the S0tc
Dsh action should be resisted dg force that Joree should
Be repuised.
This advice seems 70 have alarmed Henry Foote,
Gov Brown and others, who have written the following
significant letter:
There grave constitutional questions belonging to
this subject from the discussion or which under differ
ent circumstances should not shrink, but which Will
only bc muted at. We invoke Mr Ewing and those
enjoying bis c0uuses TO examine those questions cOoly
and fairly they proceed with their contemplated
attempt to pul down tie present state Government IN
the hasty and informal menaced OppOSi-
tOn TO the will OF those power in opposition 10 the
present Radical Congress, aud with nothing like a
tainty that President Johnson would regard his duty
tO withhold from Gov BrOwnlOw and the present State
Legislature the military aid Of tine General Government
In such struggle, that he would even have IL I'D his
power 20 do such his inclination
We undertake Mr. Ewing others now m.
proving his letter f there be such that IL they will l06k
the luminous decision Of ChicfJustce Taney the
celebrated Of Luther agt Borden c al delivered AT
the January term OF tho Supreme Court Of the United
States I'm the year 18l9 they will there
constitutional doctrine Of nature 10 inspire them with
the greatest caution and moderation IN tke perOus crisis
which have at last reached II will be sufficient for
this occasion, TO state that 20 the decision referred
90 Is, among other thngs declared that the courts Of
Rhode Island having declared in favor OF the validity Of
the charter government the courts Of tine United
adopt and follow the decisions OF the State courts in
questions which concern merely the Constitution and
laws OF the State. Further, that the Constitution Of
the United States has treated the subject political
It's nature and placed the power Of recognizing State
Governments in Congress-" and, sti further that al
though State could establish permanent military
government yet IL may its military power 10 pdt
down an ayOWed insurrectOn too strong controlled
By the civil authority. The State determine for IL
sells what degree Of force the crisis demands"
