Reichstag may enact such laws as it pleases,
but no law can possibly have effect in the
NOrdbund unless it has the sanction OF It's
different governments.
BY penetrating farther into this labyrinth
of centralization. we perceive that the con-
federation is composed of twenty-five
States-the federal council has conse-
quently, twenty-five voters; but each has
not an equal weight. Thus the vote OF
Prussia counts as seventeen, that of Saxony
four, of Mecklenburg-Schwerina and Bruins
wick each, two. and each Of the other
States one. The total number of votes
being forty-three, of which twenty-five is
the majority. Prussia, with the support
Of five OF the smallest principalities,
hence, prevails over the remaining six
teen other governments. We must add
that in consequence of an amendment
adopted by the convention sanctiOning the
constitution, the vote Of Prussia is decisive
in all matters relative to the military organ
ization. In the Nordbund the laws are
enacted by the Prussan government. The
Reichstag proposes, the Bundesrath, that is
Prussia. determines the adoption or rejec-
ton of the proposition. On certain Occa-
sions, when it is thought useful to enlist
public opinion in favor of certain measures
which, if too abruptly introduced, would
cause dangerous excitement, the matter
is publicly discussed in the Reichstag, and
the government has the appearance of yield
ing reluctantly to the wishes of the people,
while the determination has been taken at
its special request.
It's pretended by Montesquieu and many
other distinguished statesmen and jurists,
that it is the essence Of q good constitution
to mark distinctly the line of demarcation
between the different powers of the govern
mcnt, and more especially between the
legislative and executive powers. The sys-
te1natic confounding of these powers is the
distinctive characteristic of the constitution
Of the Nornbund. G. S.

NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1870.

people around the stand, with hardly an ex-
ccption, shouting their approval:
ResoIred, That we, the Republicans of the
Fourth District of the city of New Orleans,
in mass meeting assembled. do heartily and
fully indorse the nominations made by the
Republican Parish Convention held in this
city on the twenty-second, twenty third and
twenty fourth Of September last, and We
hereby unqualifedly pledge ourselves, indi-
vidually and collectively, to use all honor
able means to secure the election, on the
seventh of November next, of the nominees
of said convention.
Resolred, That as true Republicans we
earnestly desire the triumph of our party,
and we do hereby declare that the nominees
OF the said convention merit the confidence
OF our party, and of every lover Of u truly
republican government
RcsOlrcd, That in Benjamin F. Flanders
we recognize, in the most eminent degree,
all the requisites of "a good executive officer,
and that his election will place at the head
of our city government a man possessing
the attributes, the loss of which our great
city has long and severely suffered, signal
executive ability, incorruptible integrity,
and diligence in duty.
ReSOloed, That We view. with especial
pride and satisfaction, the nomination of
Hon. E. w. Pierce for the position of State
AOA
which he has been nominated. and the good
sense of our delegates; that he possesses
our highest confidence, and will have our
most enthusiastic support.
Resolred, That q copy of the foregoing
resolutions be published in the New Orleans
REPUBLICAN,, as expressive of the senti-
ments of the republican voters Of the Fourth
District.
The meeting was then addressed in brief
terms by Captain Barrel and other speakers,
and the enthusiastic responses OF the
assembly showed how much the people felt
the force of what was said.
At the commencement of the meeting.
and at intervals between the addresses, the
company was delighted with the splendid
music of the American Union Band, led by
Captain William Wright.
We noticed on the ground the Tenth and
Eleventh Ward Clubs aud club from JEFF
fersOn City. Some time after the opening
of the meeting a slight rain occurred, but it
did not for a moment dampen the rampant
enthusiasm.
About midnight the meeting adjourned,
though, to judge from the feeling of the
assembly. it might have been protitably con
tinued full two hours longer.

FEARS OF A TERRIBLE CONvULs1ON
The home journal. (Winchester, Tenn.) 1858-188?, 1870-09-22

One of the newest institutions of
loyal and philanthropic Boston is an
agency for the Chinese slave trade, es.
tablished under the control of Koop-
manscapp, through which Coolies are
supplied direct from China, in any re-
quired quantity, with neatness and dis
patch. A few years hence-when,
through this characteristic specimen of
Yankee enteiprise-the imbruted Ce-
lestials are swarming in millions over
the whole land. and there is no longer
any money to be made by importing
them, Boston will begin to elevate its
eyebrows in holy horror at the enormi-
ties of Coolie peonagc. The ten thous-
and New England parsons will join,
with orthodox .,asal twang, in denun-
citation Of this new "sum of all william
les" and the world will be treated to
another Of that characteristic dickering
with Providence, by which the shrewd
descendants OF the Pilgrims attempted
to compound for their share in the AZ.
rican slave trade, though copious cur.
SEES poured upon all Who did not like
themselves sell of their colored stock
when it ceased to be profitable.

Never Yield to Ridicule.

Never let your honest convictions
be laughed down. You can no more
exercise your reason if you live in con-
slant dread of ridicule, than you can
enjoy your life fyou live in constan!
terror of death. Ifyou think it right
to differ from the times, and to make
a point of morals, do it--not for inso-
lence. but seriously and gravely, as If
man wore big soul of his own in
his bosom, ard did not wait till it was
brcathed into him by the breath OF
fashion. Be true to your manhoods
conviction, and in the end you will not
only be respected by the world, but
the approval of your own conscience.
