Mr. EDIroR,-I have wondered throughout
the protracted controversy between the Peo-
pie and the Executive Il will not say Con-
gress, for the members of Congress are but
representatives of the real and only sovereigns
of American that the express words of the
constitution have not been more often and
emphatically quoted. The constitution makes
Congress supreme over every branch, depart
ment and officer of the government: s d.
ART /, Sect. s Clause 19-The Congress shall
have power to make all laos which shall be
necessary and proper for carrying into ereeat-
non the foregoing po1oeqs, and all poloers vested
an the government of the United States, or in
any department OR OFFICER thereof.
1t is in the power of Congress alone to raise
and support armies (ibid, clause 12,) call forth
the militia to execute the laws (i5id, clause 15)
and make rules for the government of the land
and naval forces ibid, clause 14); SO that
though the President is commander in chiet
he is bound to act ,oithin rules prescribed by
Congress. &
Also we perceive that the President is
commander-in-chief of the army Cart. H.
sect. 2 clause y when called into the actual
service of the United States" By Congress, as
already shown.
1t seems important that this most vita
pledge for the security of free government
should be kept before the people, early, prom.
inently, Overwhelmingly, that the People
are the responsible rulers of this country; Con-
gress, their elected agent, the supreme power
in the government; and the President but a
subordinate executive officer under them. His
power is only to execute their will.
Usurpation by an elective Congress is mis-
homer. IT'S true we should deal tenderly
with this political Belshazzer as he reads the
handwriting upon the wall; but decisive &C.
ton is demanded, The great principles of our
government should be announced and under
stood everywhere. There is solid ground tc
tread upon. X.

Review of the Portland MARKET.
WEEK ENDING Feb. %, 1868,


The volume of trade tor the past week, though
not large, has yet been very fair for the season.
Purchasers are not disposed to stock up largely at
present, preferring to wait the events OF a lew

mercial circles and the prospects for good busi-
ness season are Frightening. In prices there seems
to be general firmness, and as will be noticed by

market for many staple articles. .Efa

to 14i, then dropped to 1924, closing at 1924.
