stitutiOn This is a mOmentOus
q question, and one which we desire
to PROFOUND to the anti-convention-
lists. Constitutions have their birth
in the will of. the people, and exist
by their consent and not by their
mere sufferance. That the present
exists by sufferance only, none can
deny; and the Democratic party Of
this State stands on record as deny
ing the validity of the constitution
of 1868 and protesting by all things
holy and sacred against the doctrines
it embodies, against tile manner in
which it was framed, and against
the methods by which it was thrust
uuon the State. At the time of its
PRONUNCIATION che Democratic party
denied that it was made by the peo-
pie OF for the people, and it they
would be consistent they cannot al
low it to remain. in force, or by
amending it acknowledge its bind
ing force. In proof of the fact that
this constitution was not adopted
by the people-we have only to refer
to the ordinance submitting it for
approval. This provides that it
''sball be submitted for ratification
to the registered voters of the State
in conformity to the act of Congress"
known as the reconstruction act,
under which nearly all the intelli-
gence and virtue Of the State was
disfranchised. ELECTORS who were
qualified under the reconstruction
acts of Congress shall vote, and
none Others" This is the language
of the ordinance submitting this in
strument for ratification. Who
were the persons. qualified under
those actsf Answer this question
and then say if this instrument was
called into existence by the will Of

TO SUMMER TOURISTS.

The great Jackson Route offers the greatest
Inducements to Eastern and European trav-
elers this season. 1t should be known to all
that this line has been immensely improved
during the past year. It has, in fact, been al
most entirely rebuilt. It now has a fine steel
rail track, laid upon new ties and an excellent
road-bed. This enables 1t to make as fast
time as any line TO New York with entire
safety and without the appearance of rapid
running, Its connections from Cincinnati and
Chicago being among the finest roads In the
world The train leaving at p. M, one hour
later than any other line makes exactly the
same time to New York as its quickest rival.
There are no through cars to NeW York By any
line. The Jackson Route has but one change
of cars, which Is made in Union depot, at
Cincinnati, Chicago or st. Louis.
Passengers direct to New York by the Jack
son Route pass through the splendid scenery
and cool air of the Allegheny Mountains Those
going by, Chicago pass by daylight In full

That must have been thrilling scene in
Congress on Monday last when Humphreys,
or Wisconsin, rose to reply to the argument
of Mr.. Kimmel, of Maryland, In favor of the
abolition of the army, which costs the country
but little less than one-seventh of Its whole
revenue. Says the report: Humphreys went
s1argely into the history OF Europe during
the Middle Ages to show that those countries
only enjoyed large liberties which maintained
large standing armies" 1t must have been
quite impressive and convincing to hear Hum
