No, a Question of Espcdiencv.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Washing
Ton Post, seems TO think it was mere qucs-
ton Of cxpcdicncy whether the BURCHARD
resolution and the HARTRIDGE resolution
should be adopted or not.
We think differently.
Half HAYES term would have expired, II
is suggested, before he could have been
ousted, and it would have been very difficult,
II not impossible, anyhow, to Gust him.
In our judgment, the probability or inn
probability OF BUSTING HAYES had no bear
ing whatever ON these resolutions. The
matter OF chances was purely matter of
fact, wholly Independent from the principle
involved.
Tho chances are very large that crimes
will continue to be committed; but IL does
not follow that Congress may pass resolu-
ton that crimes ought to go unpublished.
The objection to these resolutions was not
that they were Of prophetic character,
prophosying that HAYES would serve out
the full term of four years; but 1t was that
they were designed to be declaratory OF
principle designed and understood to de-
clare that HAYES had n right to serve out
the full term of four years.
Very many OF the men who voted for
these resolutions had previously declared
that the election of HAYES was unconstitu-
ional. BY subsequently voting for these
resolutions they, in effect. declared that an
unconstitutional election could confer a
valid title
II this is true. then there Is no virtue in
the Constitution, and an unconstitutional
election gives just rs gooda title to an Office
a. constitutional election.
We maintain different doctrine. We
maintain that an unconstitutional election
Is void, and cannot confer a valid title. The
election OF HAYES was unconstitutional, and
he has never been rightfully In the Office Of
President.
The Constitution whose foundations were
laid in the blood Of our fathers-thc Constl-
tuition which in modern times was worth
defending by the sword, is worth defending
ALSO at all times by the pen and by votes
The pen that writes HAYEs's title good is
dishonored. The votes that declared his
title good were shameful They constituted
an attempt to override-to set aside-the
Constitution which the recreant men who
cast those votes were sworn TO support.
They stand upon the unalterable record,
votes black with cowardice, with treachery,
with the betrayal of high trust. That
blackness is perpetual. No sophistry. no
casuistry can bleach it white.

The South at The Ne,t session.

II is very well to say no North, no South,
no East, no West. The words, when DANIEL
WEBSTER used them, were not mere
rhetorical phrase, but they were full Of
meaning. They were the pith of n political
sermon, enforcing the duty Of supporting
the Constitution as resting upon all parts of
the country alike, while the Wgis of its pro-
lection extended equally over all. In the
view Of the Constitution We were all one
country-no North. no South, no East, no
West.
But, curiously enough this doctrine has
since been frequently cited in defence Of see
tional movements and sectional measures.
And even nowwe hear much talk in favor Of
broad national policy by those who mean
nothing more or less than the rcGstabllsh-
ment of the old, narrow. sectional rule of
the South or this the people Of the North
are apprchensivc, and there can De no use in
concealng the fact.
The chance Of the Democratic party in the
next Presidential election depends very
much on the spirit manifested by the South
ern members at the approaching session of
Congress.

The question which the Baptist preachers
discussed at their Monday meeting IS one in
which the preachers Of all denominations are
interested especially those Of them who see the
pcws gradually omptving under their ministry
Should preachers draw upon the Imagination
in preparing their sermons? At the Monday
meeting the drift Of opinion was that this was Il
good thing to do. We should say that it de-
pended largely on the particular imagination
and the particular preacher. Given vivid inn
aglnation, and preacher OF sense and
judgment, knowing how far to go and when to
stop, the question answers itself ut once in the
Affirmative. But tawdry Imagination. or nm
imagination that takes the bits in its teeth and
runs away with its owner. is about rs danger
Gus possession as Il preacher can have.
After ALL tho ornamentation Of a sermon Is q
matter Of secondary importance. 1.-THE preacher
is the man he should be. and is as much in
earnest AS he ought to be- tho tropes will take
care Of themselves. We would caution tho
brethren against the error OF confoundinR plain
sermons with dry sermons.
