The Safeguards of Our Govern
ll3nf.
BY THOMAS CALLAHAN.

All the ancient empires had large
provinces or dependencies, which they
held to raise taxes and recruit their
armies, but whose people had no share
the Government. Among mOdeIn ma
tiuus England is to-day the most noted
example of this idea. These people
having 10 hope of political rights ex-
cept as secured by revolution, were not
slow to avail themselves Of that mode
of redress, and succeeded sooner or lat
or in destroying their masters. Under
our Constitution we have no provinces.
Our Territories are merely States in the
forming stage Of existence.
The Constitution, Art. 4, See. 5, says:
.New st ties may be admitted bv tn. Con
pryas into the Union, hut no new st tic shail
tie formed or erected within the Jurisdiction
of anv other State nor any Stat be formed by
the JUNCTION of two or more States. or parts
of States, without the consent of the Ls!isia-
tnr ot the States concerned as well as of
Cm ress -
This provision Of our organic law will
well repay close study, on account of
the care fulness with which it is drawn.
First, it guards against keeping out of
the Union any Territory prepared for
admission, n nd then it takes order that
when q new State is formed from one
ar more States already existing. no vio-
lence shall be done either To the Gen
eral al(tuvernneI,tor or the rights aud wish
+.s of the States Immediately concerned.
II thus guards rs far as possible against
AL hasty and inconsiierate action iii Il
matter of so much Importance.
In regard to Territories seeking all
mission as States, the language of the
law il many, not shall, he admitted
that is to say that the Congress is not
bound to admit Territory whenever
IL demands admission, nor yet on it's
own terms. The General Government
holds the control of admitting new
numbers to the firm. This power of
the Congress is older than the Consti-
sutton for it was exercised hy the Con-
press before the Constitution was made.
1See Act of 1881 No provision for its
exercise was in the Articles Of Cnnfed-
Grafton. It was one of those instances
in which the necessities of the case make
the law that governs it, without regard
ff nrecedent or written statute on the
anhiect. Territories In order to obtain
their admission as States must have
sufficient population to entitle them to
nt least one member of the House oi
Representatives.. This number is in
craased from time to time i'm order that
tha Lower House may not become u,i-
wieldy. and thus this arrangement
nlaces = wholesome restraint on the
local politicians to run in Territories as
States. in order to have more offices.
Tie usual course of proceeding is as

the people ratified Constitution pre-
pared by Convention elected one
month before and the State was Ad-
mtted Sept. 7th, 1850.
Minnesota, a part of the Louisiana
purchase, was organized as II Territory
in 1S49, and admitted as State in
May, 1858.
Oregon, a part Of the Louisiana pur-
chase, was organized AS u Territory in
1S48, and i'm 1853 Washington Territory
was set off from it. Oregon was adj
mitted as STATE in 1858.
Since the date last given Kansas,
| Nebraska, Nevada, and Colorado have
| been admitted at various times, in COM
pliance with the same forms.
There are five modes in which States
! have been constituted-tirst, the thir-
j teen original States which acquired
their independence by the peaceof 1888;
second, those States formed out of ter
ritory belonging to the original States;
third, States formed out of territory
| al, rft Sf.fn
/ obtained by annexation; and, fifth,
| States formed out of territory acquired
| by conquest.
There are three methods of admitting
I. a State: First, by adopting Constltu.
ton formed by Il National Convention
in this way the thirteen original
States came in. Second, by the concur
rent action of Congress and of the
States ceding the territory. Third, by
act of Congress, having previously pass
ed through the Territorial condition.
| There 10 one mode that. has not vet
been tried. viz: To form State from
parts of two States.
The thirty-eight States which form
our Union have all regularly-formed
Constitutions, emboiying the same
principles with each other and with
the Constitution of the United States
that is to say, they all divide the pow
ers of government into Legislative, Ju
dicial, aud Executive. They all adopt
the representative principle, and al
are republican.
It only remains to speak of the for

Illinois and Iowa are both interested in
the Hennepin Canal. The survey and esti-
mate, made by order of the War Depart
ment, places the cost of the proposed canal
at So, 800, 723, with feeder This is on the
estimate that the canal from Rock Island to
Hennepin, sixty-fve miles, would be sixty
feet wide at the surface, thirty-siX feet
wide at the bottom, and be six feet deep,
and includes the cost for slack water navi-
cation on the Illinois river from Hennepin
to LaSalle. On this route the distance
from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi
river would be one hundred and eighty
miles.
The meeting in this city yesterday, in
anticipation of the convention soon to be
held developed a spirit of enterprise and
determination on the part of the public
spirited gentlemen interested, and the
movement bids fair to result in something
more tangible than has been the case when
the subject has been agitated in the past. y
The above is what the Chicago Inter
Ocean has to say in regard to the canal.
The project seems to commend itself on all
hands.

DR.. L. w. Conndughton:
Strive have deferred writing to
you, knowing that your time was full
ly occupied that the needless inquir-
les would only consume it for no use
But we now feel that courtesy
demands that we should let you know
how Mrs. B. is progressing, She is an
entirely different person to what she
was six weeks ago whom we started
to see you, knowing that something
must be done and that quickly, but
dreading to sry again for fear of ano-
Their failure. But we are happily
mistaken. Her health has been better
than it has been for a long time and
is steadily improving. The stomach
trouble has been remove, and the
whole system generally improved.
Her strength has so increased that she
can walk three to five miles any day
without fatigue. There are several
parties watching and wondering at
her rapid gain and will soon probably
be down to see you sometime this
summer.
L should close and not encroach on
your time but | must first express my
gratitude to you for the wonderful
assistance you have rendered Mrs. B. :;
for words are to feeble to give you the
feelings of our hearts for what you
have done for us. We wish you a
continued success. We remain yours

The Union, this morning, prints the fol-
lowing in regard to the appropriation to
print the council proceedings:
We believe in publishing official min
utes in one paper of general circulation,
for the information of the public. All per
sons who want to read these minutes can
then buy the paper in which they are
printed. We believe also in paying rea-
sonable compensation for the work. The
sum of 500 is little enough for the city re-
ports, and the city would be justified in
paying that sum and no more, to the paper
of general circulation printed in English,
which the council should see fit to desig-
nate by resolution. By the plan of trying
to print the minutes in more than one pa
per is unwarranted by law and is 9 waste
tul extravaganza of the peoples money"
In this the Union is undoubtedly cor
rect, II the idea of having the proceed
ings printed is to inform the public as to
what the council has done, one paper is
enough to print them in. and the city can

Horatio Seymour seconds Bavard's me-

Horatio Seymour seconds Bayard's mo-
ton and keeps up his reputation for states
manship when he tells the Democratic
senators that ''all bargaining with Conk-
ling, or any other Republican, is delusive.
undemocratic and destructive of the hopes
of the party in New York and in the ma
ton" The course Of the Democrats is
clear Amy conflict between Mr.. Conk-
ling and the President is fight
in the Republican camp, and a
matter in which they have no interest. If
the republicans are to raise issues over
questions of federal patronage and spoils,
that is no reason why the democrats should
follow their bad example. They were
sent to Washington as senators of the diff
ferent States; their oaths of office compel
them to fulfill, to the best of their ability,
their duties as representatives of these
states. One part of those duties is acting con
jointly with the President in the appointing
of persons to fill the different Federal posi-
tons. The President has the appointing
power; the Senate confirms of rejects his
appointments The fitness of the persons
appointed is the question to be taken into
consideration by the Senators, none other
need enter into their calculations. If the
Democrats viii act in accordance with this
principle, and vote as the fitness of the
different nominees commend themselves,
they will not only be doing their full duty
to the country, but will show the people
that the Democratic party is what it repre-
sents itself to be, the party of true patriot
ism and of honest government.
