The Florida Conv.ntfo..

There is trouble in. the Black, and Tan
Convention now being held in Florida to
fix upla Constitution that shall be accept
able to the Radicals. A resolution declar.
ing that there shall not be any distinction
between the Whites and Blacks on rail-
roads. steamboats,, in places of instruction
or public amusement, has caused consid-
cradle debate and acrimonious feeling
This is an unfavorable indication for the
success of the Radical project of establish
ing Negro Supremacy in the South. 1t
contributes to show the impossibility of es-
tablishing any such Supremacy, and that
the attempt to establish it will tax oppres-
sively the people who live in the North,
East and West, and who are now stagger-
ing and falling under the load of heavy
taxation and dull times caused by the des-
olation and poverty in the South.

In our system two forces are ever strug-
Cling with each other; one tending towards
Capitalization, the other towards the States.
Each operating without the other would
destroy the system. AS in the solar sys-
tenn, the centripetal force left to itself
sun, and thus destroy that system. The
centrifugal force. left to itself alone, would
drive the planets into infinite space, and
thus destroy that system also. But the
combined operation of both forces, the one
balancing the other, retains all in their
proper orbits. How long could that sys-
tenn last ii the centripetal force shouli be
doubled. The other force remaining the
same could no longer balance it; all would
20 to the centre. If the centrifugal force
we're doubled, iJ could no longer be coun-
terbalanced by the other. and the planets
would leave their orbits and wander
throdgh space.
So If the Supreme Court which holds the
balance between these political forces in
oursysten, is to be so chained and mana
cled, that unless six-eighths of the Judges
shall decide against iJ. the decision shall
always favor Capitalization. how long. will
it require to concentrate all the powers of
Government at Washington, and to prac-
tically destroy the States as part of our
system? 49,,

Mr.. BERRY offered the following reso-
luton:
WHEREAS, The Auditor of State in his
annual report. page 15, states that there
was saved to the State of Ohio during the
fiscal year just closed, the sum OF S37 .430.-
81 by reason of the transfer of General
Revenue and other funds of the State to
the Sinking Fund; and
WHEREAS, The annual report of the
Sinking Fund Commissioners. of whom the
Auditor of State is one page 4, shows that
the total amount so transferred was only
$20OOO0-the interest on which, at per
cent, would only amount to one thousand
dollars per month; and
WHEREAS, The said Auditors report,
page 8, and the report of the Sinking Fund
Commissioners, page 6, both show that the
sum received by, and saved to the State by
reason of said transfers, only amounted to
$3.402.42; therefore, es,

Congress has nothing to do with that.
In all my dearest rights, relations, inter-
ests, family, character, person, liberty and
life, / am defended by the laws of Wis
all. ,,,..s ~.
Nothing is more clear, therefore, than
the necessity of guarding with a jealous
care against all encroachments by the Fed
eral Government upon the just rights Of
the State Governments forit is only un-
der their authority that my most precious
interests are secured. The Supreme Court
is organized by, the Constitution for the
purpose of holding, not false balance,
but q Just and even balance between these
rights which the State Government Sc
cures and certain other rights, just as sa-
cred. if not SO near and dear, secured to me
| by the Federal Government against en-
croachments by the State, against insur-
rection in the State, against invasiODs from
abroad, and in controversies which may
arise between me and the citizen of an
other State-all of which it is the duty of
Congress to defend or secure.
Suppose Congress, under political ex
citement, pass law encroaching upon my
rights of life, or liberty, or person, or prop
| erJy, which belong to the State to defend.
and that case arises in the Supreme Court
| to determine whether the State Government
or the Federal Government has usurped
power over the question, shall the Supreme
Court hold an even balance between the
States, on the one hand, and Congress on
the other? Or. shall that Court hold its bal
ance with one side already loaded down by
4 law of Congress in fdoor of its own usur-
pations?
Upon this very question of its usurpa-
tions shall Congress prevent even handed
justice, by placing manacle upon one OF
her hands? ~.
Justice hitherto represented as majestic
woman, with eyes bandageds holding pair
of even balances, must hereafter be repre-
sented with false balances in her hand, with
one eye uncovered, no longer looking
straight forward in search of truth, but
for the usurpations of central power.
