That a man thus self-exposed as unworthy of high trust tnriiid navfl nua ine faoo to expect that intelligent constituencies would send to Congress men piedged to support At policy and hi measures, appeared for tbe '.imeto bi as pmaoie a spectacle of human delusion m it ms an exasperating example of human impudence, r Not the least extraordinary peculiarity of these addresses from the stump was jthe inimense roiuberauce they exhibited of the personal pronouu. Iu Mr. Jobneoa'e peeoh, his "I" resembles Ibe geometer's de-uni 1 p, ion of infinity, having "its center every whero and its circumferenco nowhere." Au.org the many kiuds of egotism in whloh hiseloquLce is prolific, it maybe difficult to f.sten on the purticular one which it . roost delesiible or moat laughable; but is seem to us llmt when his srrogaucw spea . humility it is deserving perhaps of so In-teoser d.gree of -ecorn or derision than wbeu it riots in bravado. Tbe most' offensive part which he plays in publlo is that of 'ibe humble individual," braggiug of the low iicus of his origin, hinting of the great merits which could alone have lifted bias 10 bis present exalted station, and repi'cs-miug himself as so satiated with tbe swei is of unsought power as to b indifferent to its honors. Ambition is not for bim, fir ambition aspires; and what object has he to aspire to? t rom his contented mediocrity as alderman of a village, the people have insisted on elevating him Irom one pinnacle of greatness to another, until they have at last oinde him President of the United States. He might have been Diotator bad he pleased; but what, (0 a man wearied with authority and Jignily, would dictatorship be wortLI If he is proud of anything, it. is of the ta:lor's bench from whioh he started. He would have everybody to understand that he is humble thoroughly humble. Is this caricature? No. It is impossible to caricature Andrew Johnson when he mounts his high horsd of humility and becomes a sort of cross between Uriah He p and Josiah Boud derby of Cokvlown. Indeed, it is only by quoting Dioken's de- . ionption of the latter personage that we have anything which fairly matched the traits suggested by some statements in the President's speeches. "A big, loud man,? sajs the humorist, with a stare and ametali-lie laugh. A man made out of coarse mate rial, which seems to have been stretched to make so much of him. A man with a greaf puffed head and forehead, swelled veins in his temples, and suoh a strained skin to his face, that it seems to hold his eyes open and lift hie eyebrows up. A man with a pervading appearauoe on him of being Inflated like a balloon, and ready to start. A man who could never sufficiently vaunt himself a self made man. A man who was continually proclaiming through that brassy speaking irumphet of a, voice of bis, his old iguoranoe ana his old poverty. A man who wae the Bully of humility." If we turn from the moral and personal to the mental characteristics of Mr. John-Bon's speeohes, we find that his brain is lo be clisstd with notable oases of arrested development. He has strong forces In his nature, but in their outlet through his rnind ihey are dissipated into a confusing platter of unrelated thoughts and inapplicable phi ases. He seems (0 possess neither the power nor the perception of coherent thinking and logioal arrangement.' He does not appear to be aware that assertions are not arguments, that the proper method to answer an objection is not to repeat tbe preposition against whioh the objection was directed, that the proper method of unfolding a subject is not to make the successive statements a series of contradictions. Indeed, he seems lo have a thorough ani-jnaliied intellect, destitute of the notion of relation, with ideas which are but the form f determinations, and whioh derive thii force not from reason, but from will. With an individuality thus strong even to fierceness, but which has not been developed in tbe mental region, and which the least gust uf passion intellectually upsets, he is inoa-pible of looking at anything out of relations to himself of regarding it from that neutral ground which is the condition of intelligent discussion between opposing minds. Iu truth, he makes a virtue of being insensible to the evidence of faols and the deductions of reason, proclaiming to all tbe world that be has taken his position, that be will never swerve from it, and that all statements and arguments intended to Shake his resolves are impertinences indicating that their authors are Radicals and enemies of Ibe country. He is never weary f vaunting bis firmness, and firmness he doubtless hss, the firmness of at least a score of mule; but eveuts have shown that it is a different kind of firmness frosa that whioh keeps a statesman firm to his principles, a political leader to his pledges, a gentleman to his word. Amid all changes of opinion, ho has been eonscions of unchanged will, and tbe intellectual element forms to small a portion oi bis being, th'it when - be challenged "the man, winmn, or child to oome forward" and convict him of inconstancy to his professions, be knew that, towever it .might be with the rest of mankind, he would himself be uueonvinoed by any evidence which ibe said man, woman or child might adduce. Again, when he was asked by one of his audienoes why be did not hang Jeff. Davis, be retorted by txolaiminp, "Why don't you ask ask me why I have not hanged Thad Stephens snd Wendell Phillips? l'hey are as much traitors as Davis." And we are almost charitable enough to suppose that he saw no difference between the moral or le-tal treason of the man who for four years bad waited open war aeainst the Govern ment cf the United Stales, and the men who for one year bad sharply criticised the aots nd utterauocs of Andrew Johnson. It is not lo be expected that nice distinctions J,' : i; ! ....... COL M i. .A. .

It is lo the credit of our institutions and oar statesmen (bat the man least qualified by largeness of mind and moderation of temper to exercise uncontrolled power, should be ihe nan who aspired to usurp it. Tbe conetttutionaUn-stioot in the blood, and the constitutional prinoipal of the brain, of our real states men, preserve them from tbe folly and guilt 01 setting memseives up as imitative Csa-sars and Napoleons, the moment they are trusted with a little delegated power. Still we are told, that, with all his de-feois, Andrew Johnson is to,be honord and supported at a "oonaervauve" presi dent engaged in a oontest with a "radloaV Congresel It happens, however, thai, the two persons who specially represent progress in this struggle are Senator Tum hull and Feseenden. Senator Trumbull it the author of those two' important measWes whioh the President vetoed; Senator Fog, seuden is the chairman and or'gin of; jthe committee ot f ifteen wbioh the President anathematizes, how we desire to do Justice to tiie gravlijr of face which (he barti- a iua of Mr. Johnson preserve in announc ing their most absurd propositions, ttnoT especially do we commend their, oomidand of countenance while it is their privilege to contrast the wild notions -and violent speech of suoh lawless radicals as the Sena tor from Illinois and tbe Senator from Maine, -with the balanced judgment s-nd moderate temper of suoh a fat tern conservative as the President of the United Stales. The contrast prompts idess so irresistibly ludicrous, that to keep one's risibilities under austere control while instituting it argues a self-command almost nuraoulous. Andrew Johnson, however, such as he is in heart, intellect, will, and speech, Is the rf cognized leader of his party, and demands that the great mass of his partisans shall setve him, not merely by prostraticb of body, but by prostration of mind. , It isTthe hard duty oi his more intimate associates to translate' his broken utterances from Andy Johnton into constitutional phrase, to give these versions some shew of Jogieal arrangement, and to oarry out, as best they may, tneir own onjeots, . while professing boundless devotion to his. - By a eoDhteti- oal prooss of developing his rude notions, they often lead him to conclusions whioh be had not foresen, but which thev Iridnee him to make his own, not by a fruitless effort to quicken his mind into following the steps of their reasoning, but by stimulating his pawioos to the ooint ot adont. ing its results." They thus become cars- sites in order that they may become powers, j auu meir interests ma ec men particularly ruthless in their dealings with their master's consistency. Their relation to him ', if they would bluntly express it. michl be hr dioated in that brief formula: ''We will adore you in order that yon may ofcey us.'' The trouble with these politicians. ia.ihat they cannot tie the President' -tongug, a. a they tied the tongues of the eminent per sonages they invited from-all portions (of the country to keep silent at their great Convention at Philadelphia. ' That Convention was a master-piece of cunning political management; but its addresses 'aid resolutions were hardly laid at Mr. John son s feet, when, in Jiis exultation,, ke Kill -1 11 ft -nt .. . i -1 l' J - - vaauonu W W, 1 112 I Congreca of the United fltatet," which hi ftfinparQ "Bra ka aaan tin 1 iL. 1 verge of the Government." Now all, this was in the Address of the Convention, but it was not so brutally worded, nor So1 calculated to appal those-trmid ennnm-lers nf ihn Johuson party who thought, in thuir inno cence, that tbe object of the Philadelphia meeting was to heal the wounds ofciyil war, and hot to lay down" a programme by which it might be Teopened. "- Hurning, then, from Mr. Johnson to tbe maiiiesFQf his political supporters, let us see what ad-diiions it makes to political wisdom, and what gnarrantees it affords for future peace. We shall, not discriminate between3 Insur gent States and individual, insurgents, because, when individual insurgents arrtso overwhelmingly strong that they -carry their States with them: or when States are so overwhelmingly strong that they foroe individuals to be insurgents,-' it appears rto be needless. The terms are often used interchangeably in the Address, for the Convention was so largely composed of., individual insurgents that It was important to vary a little the charge that thev usnrntfd State powers with , the qualification thai they obeyed the powers they usurped, 4( tbe South, individual insurgents constitute the State when they determine to rebel, arid obey it when they desire to be pardoned. An identical thing cannot be altered by giving it two names. .. ,, i The principle whioh runs through the Philadelphia Address is, that insurgent States recover their former rights under the Constitution by the mere faot ot submission. This is equivalent to saying that the insur gent states incurred no guilt in rebellion. But States cannot beoome insurgent, nnless the authorities of suoh State commit ner- jury and treason, and their people become reoeis ana puotio enemies; perjury, treason and rebellion are commonly held to be crimes; and who ever heard before, that I criminals were restored to all theif'r'ights oi nonesi citizens ny tne mere fact or their arrest? . ii The doctrine, moreover, is a worse hcreav than that of secession; for secession implies that seceded States, being out of the Union, can plainly only be brought back by ' oon-queBt and on suoh terms as the.viotors saay choose to impusB. No oandid Southern rah el who believes that his State eeceded, and that he acted under competent authority when tie took up armg against tbe United States, can have theeffrontry to affirm that he bad inherent rights of citizenship. in "the foreign oounlry" against' which, he plotted and fought for four years. The 'so-called "right" of secession was claimed by the South as a constitutional right, to be peaceably exercised, but it passed intogthe broader and more intelligible "rights of revolution when it had to be sustained 'by war, and tbe condition of a defeated revolutionist !b certainly not that of a qualified voter in the nation, ,-against which hTe volted. But if insurgent -States recover their former right and privileges, when they submit to superior foroe, there is no reason why armed rebellion ah paid not , bj r.H common as looai discontent. We have, on this prinoiple, sacrificed thirty five hundred millions of dollars and three hundred thousand lives, only to bring the insurgent states mio just tnose "practical relations to i tie union ' whlon will enable us to aacrU fice thirty-five hundred millions of dollars more, and ' three , hundred thousand more lives, when it suits the passions and caprices of these 'States to rebel again. Whatever they may do in the way of disturbing the peace ef the oonnlry, they can never, it seems, forfeit thelf rights arid 'privileges under the Constitution.. Even r if 'evry-body was positively certain that there would b a new rebellion In ten years, unless conditions of representation were exacted of the Bomb, we still, accord ine' to' the doctrine of tbe Johnsonian jurists, would be constitutionally impotent to exaol them, be cause insurgent states recover unconditioned right to representation by thd mere fact of their submitting to the power they can no longer resist. The acceptance of this prinoiple would make insurrection the chronic disease of our political system. War would follow war, until nearly all the wealth oi ine nountry was squandered, arid nearly all the inhabitants exterminated, ' Mr. Johnson's prophetic vision of that Paradise of constitutionalism, shadowed forth in his exolamation thaf 'he would stand by: the Constitution though all around him should perish, would be measurably milled; and among the ruing of the nation a few ragged pedants would be left to drone out enlogiet on "the glorious Constitution'' which, had survived unharmed the anarchy, poverty and depopulation it bad produced. An interpretation of the Constitution which thus make It the shield of treason' and the .destroyer of Civilization must be false both to f isoi ana sense, ine iramers or that Instrq menrwere not Idiolsii vet idiotd in.V'AHi certainly have been If they had put Intp It i.;oiU;:s; V, i'tiB. JOJ ;(,!?-. MJBU a clause declaring "that no State, or com- Dtnation or States, which may at any time choose to get up an armed attempt lo overthrow the Government established by this Constitution, and be defeated in the attempt, shall forfeit any of the privileges granted by this instrument to the loyal States." But an interpretation of .he Constitution which oan be conceived of as forming a possible part of it only by impeaching the sanity cf ite framers, cannot be,n interpretation whioh the American people are -morally bound to risk ruin to support. . But even if we should be wild enough lo admit the Johnsonian prinoiple respecting insurgent States, the question oomes up s to the identity of the States now demanding representation with tbe States whose rights of representation are affirmed lo have brea only suspended during their re bellion. The faot would seem to be that these reconstructed States are merely the creauous or tne executive branch of the UOYernment, with every organio bond bona leeely cut whioh connected them with the old State governments and constitutions. They have only the names of the Btates they preienaea to m. Berore the rebellion they had a legal people; when Mr. JohnBon took hold of them they had nothing but a disor ganized population. Uat or this population he by his own will created a people. On the principle, we must suppose, of natural e- eouon. mow, to decide who are the people, of a State is to create its very foundations to begin anew in the most ootnpre hens,ive sense of the world; for the being oi a State is more in its people, that, is, in the persons selected from its Inhabitants to be the depositaries of its political power, than it ie in its geographical boundaries and area. Over this people thus constituted by himself, Mr. Johnson set provisional Governors nominated by himself. These Governors called popular conventions, whose members were elected by the votes cf those to whom Mr. Johnson had given the right of suffrage; and these conventions proceeded to do what Mr. Johnson dio ated. Every where Mr. Johnson; nowhere the assumed 'rights of the Stated North Carolina, was one of these . creations; and North Carolina, through the lips of its chief Justice, bar already decided that Mr, John son was an unauthorizjd Intruder, and hie work a nullity, and even Mr. Johnson's "people" of North Carolina have rejected the constitution framed by. Mr. Johnson's convention. . Oiher rebel communities will doubtless repudiate his work, as soon as they can dispense with hie assistance. But whatever may be theoondition of theBe new Johnsonian States, they are certainly not States which can "reoover" rights which existed previous to , their creation. The aate or their birth is to be reckoned, not from any year previous to the rebellion, but from the year whioh followed its suppres sion. 1 It may, in old times, have been a polilio triok of shrewd politicians to ins volve the foundations of States in the mists ota mythical antiquity; but we happily live in an historical period, and there is something peculiarliarly stupid or peculiarly impudent In tbe attempt of the publicists of the Philadelphia Convention to ignore the origins of political societies for which, after tbey have obtained a certain degree of or ganisation, they claim such eminent tradi tional rights and privileges. Respectable as these States may be as infant phenomena, it will not da to Methustlahae them too recklessly, or assert their equality in muscle and brawn with giants full grown. Jt is evident, from the nature of tbe case, that Mr. Johnedn's labors were purelv ex perimental and provisional, snd needed the endorsement of Congress to be of any force. The only department of the eovtrnment constitutionally capable to admit new States or reinnabliiralo insurgent ones is the legislative. When the Executive not only took the initiative in reconstruction, but assumed to have completed it; but when he presented hi States to Congress as the equals of the States represented in that body; when he asserted that the delegates from his States should have the right of sitting and voting in the . legislature whose "business it was to decide on their right to admission; when, iu snort, ne uemanaea that criminals at tbe bar should have a seat on the benob. and amequal voioe with the judges, in decidiug on their own case, the effrontery or Executive pretensions went beyond all bounds of Congressional endurance. The real difference at first was not on the question of imposing ' conditions for the President 'had notoriously imposed them himself but on the question whether or not additional conditions. were necessary to secure the pnblio safety. The President, wun tnat laciltty "in turning his back on himself which all other leeical evmnasta boldly took the ground, that, being satisfied naa pronounced an impossible feat, then with the conditions he had himself exacted, tne exaction ot conditions was unconstitutional. To sustain this ourious proposition he adduoed no. .constitutional arguments. but he left vans copies of the Constitution in each of the crowds he recently addressed, with the trust, we suppose, that somebody might be fortunate enough to find in that instrument the clause whioh sup ported his theory. Mr. Johnson, however, though the moBt consequential of individuals, is the most inconsequential of reason-ers ; every proposition whioh is evident to himself he considers to .fulfill the definition of a self evident proposition ; but his supporters at Philadelphia must have known, that, in affirming that insurgent Slates recover their former rights by tbe faot of submission, they were arraigning the conduct or tneir leader who had notoriously violated those "rights." They took up his work at a certain stage, and then, with that as a basis, they affirmed a general proposition about insurgent States, which, had it been complied with by the President, would have left then no foundation at all; for the Slates about .whioh they so eliblv Leneralized would have had no show of organized govern ments. The premises of their argument were obtained by the violation of its con elusion ; they inferred from what wag a ne gation or their .-inference, and deduced from what was a death-blow to their de duction. It is easy enough to understand wbv the Johnson. Convention asserted tbe equality of the Johnson reconstruction of States with the Elates now represented in Congress. The object, was to give some appearance of legality to a contemplated aot of arbitrary power, and the priaeiple that insurgent States recover all their old rights by the aot of submission was invented in order to cover the case. Mr. Johnson now intends, by the admission of his partisians, to attempt a roup detat on the assembling of the Fortieth Congress, in ease seventy-one members of the Huase of Representatives, favor ame to . nis policy, are ohosen in the elec tions oi this autumn, from the twenty -six loyal States. These, with the fifty Sou hern delegates, would constitute a quorum of the nouse, ana tne remaining hundred and nineteen members are, in the .President's favorite phrase, "to be kicked out" from that "verge" of the Government on whioh ihey ..now . are said to be "haneine." The question, therefore, whether Congress, as it ie m present constituted, is a body constitutionally competent to legislate for the whole country, is the most, important of all practical questions. Let ns see how the case stands. :; The Constitution, ratified by the people of all the States, establishes a government of sovereign powers, supreme over the whole land, and the people of no Stale can rightly pass, from under its authority exoept by the consent ot the people-f all the States, with whom it is bound by the most solemn and binding of oontraots. The rebel State broke. in fuel, the. contract they could sot break in rtgru. Assembled in conventions of their people, they passed ordinances of secession, withdraw their Senators and Representatives from Congress, and began the war by assailing a fort of the United States. The secessionists had trusted to the silence of the Constitution in relation to the aot they performed. A State in Ihe American Union, as distinguished from a Territory, is constitutionally a part of-Out. Government to which it ewes allegiance; and the seceded Stales had refused to be parts of the Government, and had forsworn their allegiance. By the Cpnsiitntion, the United States, in case of ' domestic violence" in a State, is to interfere, t'on application of the Legialuljire, or of the Executive when the Legislature cannot be convened." But in this ease legislatures, executives, oonven-jjons of be. people, were all violators of the MOKMING COLUMBUS, OHIO, FRIDAY domestic peace, aad of course made no ap plication for interference. By the Consti tution, Congress is empowered to suppress insurrections, but this might be supposed to mean msurreotions like ehy a Rebellion iu Masa&obueetis and the Whisky Insurrection in Pennsylvania, and not to cover the action of States seceding from the Con gress whioh is thus empowered.. The se-ceders, therefore, felt somewhat as did the absconding James II. when he flung the Great Seal into the Thames and thought he bad slopped the machinery of the English Uovernment. " v ' Mr. Buchanan, then President of the Uni ted States, admitted at onoe that the secessionists bad done tbeir work in such a way that, though they had done wrong, tbe Gov eminent was powerless to compel (hem to do right. And bere tbe matter should have rested, if the government established by the Constitution was suoh a government as Mr. Johnson's supporters now deolare it to bs. if it ia impotent to prescribe -terms- ef peace in relation to insurgent states, it is oer- lainly impotent to make war on insurgent states. If insurgent States recover, their former constitutional rights in laying down their arms, then there was no criminality in heir taking them up; and if there- whs no criminality in their taking them up( then tbe United States was criminal in the war by which tbey were forced to lay them oown. un this theory we nave a govern ment incompetent to legislate for incut gont btates, because lacking" ifcelr represents lives, waging against them a cruel antl un- just war. , And this is the real theory Tf the defeated rebels and Copperheads who formed the great mass of the delegates to the John son Convention. Should they gat into power, they would feel themselves logically justified in annulling, not only all thej acts or tbe "itump Uongress since they submitted, but all the aots of the Rump Congresses during the time they had a Confederate Congress of their own. They deny that tnis is their intention; but what intention io fotego tbe exercise of an assumed light, neia oy those who are out cr power, can oe supposed capable of limiting their action when they are in? . ' ' I But if the United Slates is a government having legitimate rights of sovereignty con- rerred upon It by the people of all. the States, and if, consequently, the attempted secession of the people of one or mora fifates only makes them criminals, without impairing the sovereignty of the United States, then the government, with all its powers, remains with the representatives of! the loyal people. By the very nature of government as government, the rights jand privileges guaranteed to citizens are guaranteed to loyal oitizens; the rights and privileges guaranteed to States are guaranteed to loyal States; and loyal oitizens and loyal States are not such as profess a Will ingness to be loyal after having been utterly worsted in an enterprise : of gigantio disloyalty. The organic unity and continuity of the government would be broken bylthe return of disloyal citizens and rebel Stiles without their going through the proceed of being restored by the action of the government they had ' attempted to subvert; and the power to restore' carries with it he power to decide- on the terms of restoration. And wbeu we speak of the mvernment. we are not courtly enough to mean bythe-ex-pression simply its executive branoh. the question of admitting and implicitly of teetering States, and of deciding whether or not btates have a republican form of gov ernment, are matters left by the Constitution to the discretion' of Congress. Aej to the rebel States now olaiming representation, they have succumbed, thoroughly ex hausted, in one cf the costliest and bloodiest wars in the history of the world a wari which tasked the r. souroes ef the United j States more than they would have been tasked by a war with all tire mat Powrfrs of Europe combined a war wfiTofi, in 1862, had aseumed suoh proportions that the Supreme Court deoided that it gave the United States the same rights and privileges which tne uovernment might exercise la theroate of a national and foreign war.' The inhabi tants or the insurgent States beine ' thus judicially declared public enemies as well as rebels, there would seem to be no doubt at all that the victcWous close of actual hostilities could not deprive the Government of the power of deoiding on the terns of peaoe with public enemies. The Government of the United States found the insurgent States thoroughly revolutionized and disorganized, with no State governments that could be recognized without recognizing the validity of treason, and without the power of right to take even the ini tial steps for State reorganization. They were praotically out of tbe Union as States; their state governments had lapsed; tbeir population was composed of rebels and public enemies, by the decision of the Supreme Court. Under such circumstances, how the Commander-in-Chief, under , Congres, of the forces of the United State, could recreate these defunct Slates, and make it mandatory on Congress to receive their delegates, has always appeared, to us one of those mysteries of unreason whioh re quire faculties either above or below hu manity to accept. In addition to this fun damental objeot ion, there was the further one, that almoBt all of the delegates were rebels fresidentially pardoned into "loyal men," were eleoted with the idea of foioing Congress to repeal the test path, and were incapacitated to be legislators even if they had been sent from loyal States. The few who were loyal men In the sense that they had not served the rebel government, were still palpably elected by cpnstituents who had; and the charaoter of the constituency is as legitimate a subject of Congressional in quiry as the character of the representa tive. . It not being true, then, that the twenty- two hundred thousand loyal voters who placed Mr. Johnson In office, , and who he betrayed, have no meahB by their representatives in Congress to exert, a controlling power in the reconstruction of the rebel communities, the question oomea up as to the conditions wbioh Congress has imposed.; It always appeared to us that the true measure of conciliation, of security, of mercy, of justice, was one whioh would combine the principle of universal amnesty, or an am-; nesty nearly universal, with that of universal, or at least of impartial suffrage. In regard to amnesty, the " amend. ment to .the Constitution which Congress has passed disqualifies no rebels from vot ing, and only disqualifies them from holding office when they have happened to add per jury to treason. In regard to suffrage, it makes it for the poliiiual interest of the South to be just to ite colored citizens, by basing representation on voters, and not on population, and thus places the indulgence of class prejudices and hatreds under the penalty oi ;t corresponaing loss or political power in the Electoral College and the National House of Representatives. If the reoei mates snould be restored without this amendment becoming a part of the Conati tution, then the recent slave States will have thirty Presidential Electors and thirty members of the House cf Representatives in virtue ef a population they disfranchise, ana tne vote or a reoel white In South Carolina will carry with it more than- double tbe power of a foyaL white in Massachusetts or Oiiio. The only ground on whioh thi. disparity oan be defended Is, that as . ."one Southerner is more than a match for two Tankees," he has an inherent, continuous, unconditioned right, to have -this superiority recognized at the ballot-box:. Indeed, the injustice of this is so morstrous, that the Johnson orators find it more convenient to decry all conditions of representation than to meet the incontrovertible reasons for exacting the condition whloh bases representation on voters Not to make it a part of the Constitution would be, in Mr. Shellabarger's viyid illustration, to allow "that Lee's . vote should have double the elective power of Grant's; Semmes's double that of Farragut's; Booth' did h lie double tlat of Lincoln', Ait efettm It is Blso to be considered that thirty votes would,, in most all future sessions of Congress, decide the fate of the most im portant measures. In 1868 ihe Republicans, as Congress is now constituted, only had a majority of twenty votes. Is alli-anoe with the Northern Democratic nartv. the South with these thirty votes might repeal the civil rights bill, the "prinoiple of which it embodied in the proposed amendment ' It might assume the rebel debt, which is repudiated in that amendment. It might even repudiate the Federal debt; , Which is affirmed ia that amendment.- We MORNING, OCTOBER 2b7 1866. are so accustomed to look at the rebel debt as dead beyond all power of resurrection, as to forffet that it nioniinlu. wilh Ihn vein. ation of the emancipated slaves, to some tour muuaana minions o. a o liars, jr toe South and its Northern Democratic allies should come into power, there is a strong probability that a measure would be brought in to assume at least a portion of this debt -say two inousana millions, xse Southern members would be nearly a unit for as sumption, and the .Northern Democratic members would certainly be exposed to tbe most frightful temptation that legislators ever had (o resist.

And this brings us to Prof. Godbey. Who is he? He is described among the faculty as "Rev. W. B. Godbey. A. M., President and ProfeeBor of Collegiate Sciences and Greek Language." That is what he is. But what are "collegiate sciences?" They are high sciences, no doubt perhaps high-falutin. Yet, never mind that.

From the Atlantlo Monti I; for Novtms r. A'j iiear Johnson hn) dealt the most eras of 'l blow to the respectability of the fac tion whie i rpj.)ic?8 in Ms nsrue. Hardly nm'i tn poiit'cit ri;cKaiirs sod Turvey drop cootrived so to manage the Johnson lDUY.nuon at rniHoviphia that, it violated fw of liio proprieties of intrigue, aiid none or ih? decencies of dishonesty, than tbe corr.min ler-in chief of th combination took tte teM in poison, wiih the intention of cimvicjt the country by assault. Hi ob joctivo point was tbe grave of Douglas, woiou Tiecaite, by the time be arrived, the gr ., also, of bis cwn reputation and tbe ar.p, h or nis partisans ids speeches on the route were a volcanic mi. break of vulgarity, onncuit, bombast, smiiiiliiy, ignorance, in-olenoe, brutality and balderdash. Pertains of I iiht.-r, cms of disgust, flushings ol shams, ware tbe various responses of the mmon he disgraced to the harangues of this leader of American "conservatism." Nevnr before did tbe 6int offioe in the eifi of itie people appear so poor an objeot of numan am onion, as w&en Andrew Johnson mnje it an eminence on whioh to exhibit inability lo behave, and incapacity to rea-I ms.

Not only was tbe great body of the I'fi plH mortifii'd or indigaani, but even his "! api and ilrpendeniK," even the shrewd pilitioians accidents of an Accident and shadows of a shade who had labored so bird t Philadelphia to weave a cloak of plausibilities lo cover his usurpations, shiv- ere.t wun apprebension or tingled with idiftme i( they read the reports of tieir meter's impolitic aod iguominioue abandonment of dignity snd deceooy In his ad- mesifs to the people ho attempted alter- na n y to nuliy and cajole. That a man thus self-exposed as unworthy of high trust tnriiid navfl nua ine faoo to expect that intelligent constituencies would send to Congress men piedged to support At policy and hi measures, appeared for tbe '.imeto bi as pmaoie a spectacle of human delusion m it ms an exasperating example of human impudence, r Not the least extraordinary peculiarity of these addresses from the stump was jthe inimense roiuberauce they exhibited of the personal pronouu. Iu Mr. Jobneoa'e peeoh, his "I" resembles Ibe geometer's de-uni 1 p, ion of infinity, having "its center every whero and its circumferenco nowhere." Au.org the many kiuds of egotism in whloh hiseloquLce is prolific, it maybe difficult to f.sten on the purticular one which it . roost delesiible or moat laughable; but is seem to us llmt when his srrogaucw spea . humility it is deserving perhaps of so In-teoser d.gree of -ecorn or derision than wbeu it riots in bravado. Tbe most' offensive part which he plays in publlo is that of 'ibe humble individual," braggiug of the low iicus of his origin, hinting of the great merits which could alone have lifted bias 10 bis present exalted station, and repi'cs-miug himself as so satiated with tbe swei is of unsought power as to b indifferent to its honors. Ambition is not for bim, fir ambition aspires; and what object has he to aspire to? t rom his contented mediocrity as alderman of a village, the people have insisted on elevating him Irom one pinnacle of greatness to another, until they have at last oinde him President of the United States. He might have been Diotator bad he pleased; but what, (0 a man wearied with authority and Jignily, would dictatorship be wortLI If he is proud of anything, it. is of the ta:lor's bench from whioh he started. He would have everybody to understand that he is humble thoroughly humble. Is this caricature? No. It is impossible to caricature Andrew Johnson when he mounts his high horsd of humility and becomes a sort of cross between Uriah He p and Josiah Boud derby of Cokvlown. Indeed, it is only by quoting Dioken's de- . ionption of the latter personage that we have anything which fairly matched the traits suggested by some statements in the President's speeches. "A big, loud man,? sajs the humorist, with a stare and ametali-lie laugh. A man made out of coarse mate rial, which seems to have been stretched to make so much of him. A man with a greaf puffed head and forehead, swelled veins in his temples, and suoh a strained skin to his face, that it seems to hold his eyes open and lift hie eyebrows up. A man with a pervading appearauoe on him of being Inflated like a balloon, and ready to start. A man who could never sufficiently vaunt himself a self made man. A man who was continually proclaiming through that brassy speaking irumphet of a, voice of bis, his old iguoranoe ana his old poverty. A man who wae the Bully of humility." If we turn from the moral and personal to the mental characteristics of Mr. John-Bon's speeohes, we find that his brain is lo be clisstd with notable oases of arrested development. He has strong forces In his nature, but in their outlet through his rnind ihey are dissipated into a confusing platter of unrelated thoughts and inapplicable phi ases. He seems (0 possess neither the power nor the perception of coherent thinking and logioal arrangement.' He does not appear to be aware that assertions are not arguments, that the proper method to answer an objection is not to repeat tbe preposition against whioh the objection was directed, that the proper method of unfolding a subject is not to make the successive statements a series of contradictions. Indeed, he seems lo have a thorough ani-jnaliied intellect, destitute of the notion of relation, with ideas which are but the form f determinations, and whioh derive thii force not from reason, but from will. With an individuality thus strong even to fierceness, but which has not been developed in tbe mental region, and which the least gust uf passion intellectually upsets, he is inoa-pible of looking at anything out of relations to himself of regarding it from that neutral ground which is the condition of intelligent discussion between opposing minds. Iu truth, he makes a virtue of being insensible to the evidence of faols and the deductions of reason, proclaiming to all tbe world that be has taken his position, that be will never swerve from it, and that all statements and arguments intended to Shake his resolves are impertinences indicating that their authors are Radicals and enemies of Ibe country. He is never weary f vaunting bis firmness, and firmness he doubtless hss, the firmness of at least a score of mule; but eveuts have shown that it is a different kind of firmness frosa that whioh keeps a statesman firm to his principles, a political leader to his pledges, a gentleman to his word. Amid all changes of opinion, ho has been eonscions of unchanged will, and tbe intellectual element forms to small a portion oi bis being, th'it when - be challenged "the man, winmn, or child to oome forward" and convict him of inconstancy to his professions, be knew that, towever it .might be with the rest of mankind, he would himself be uueonvinoed by any evidence which ibe said man, woman or child might adduce. Again, when he was asked by one of his audienoes why be did not hang Jeff. Davis, be retorted by txolaiminp, "Why don't you ask ask me why I have not hanged Thad Stephens snd Wendell Phillips? l'hey are as much traitors as Davis." And we are almost charitable enough to suppose that he saw no difference between the moral or le-tal treason of the man who for four years bad waited open war aeainst the Govern ment cf the United Stales, and the men who for one year bad sharply criticised the aots nd utterauocs of Andrew Johnson. It is not lo be expected that nice distinctions J,' : i; ! ....... COL M i. .A. . VOLUME XXIX. will be made bv a magistrate who is In lh habit of denying indisputable facts with the mry of a pugilist 'who baa reoeived a personal anronu and sf announcing demon. s'ratei fallacies with the imperturabie serenity of a philosopher proclaiming tbe fundamental laws ot human belief.' , His brain is entirely ridden by bis will;' arid of an me puonoTnen in the country, its official head is tbe one whose opiniou oarries with it the least intelieotual weight. It is lo the credit of our institutions and oar statesmen (bat the man least qualified by largeness of mind and moderation of temper to exercise uncontrolled power, should be ihe nan who aspired to usurp it. Tbe conetttutionaUn-stioot in the blood, and the constitutional prinoipal of the brain, of our real states men, preserve them from tbe folly and guilt 01 setting memseives up as imitative Csa-sars and Napoleons, the moment they are trusted with a little delegated power. Still we are told, that, with all his de-feois, Andrew Johnson is to,be honord and supported at a "oonaervauve" presi dent engaged in a oontest with a "radloaV Congresel It happens, however, thai, the two persons who specially represent progress in this struggle are Senator Tum hull and Feseenden. Senator Trumbull it the author of those two' important measWes whioh the President vetoed; Senator Fog, seuden is the chairman and or'gin of; jthe committee ot f ifteen wbioh the President anathematizes, how we desire to do Justice to tiie gravlijr of face which (he barti- a iua of Mr. Johnson preserve in announc ing their most absurd propositions, ttnoT especially do we commend their, oomidand of countenance while it is their privilege to contrast the wild notions -and violent speech of suoh lawless radicals as the Sena tor from Illinois and tbe Senator from Maine, -with the balanced judgment s-nd moderate temper of suoh a fat tern conservative as the President of the United Stales. The contrast prompts idess so irresistibly ludicrous, that to keep one's risibilities under austere control while instituting it argues a self-command almost nuraoulous. Andrew Johnson, however, such as he is in heart, intellect, will, and speech, Is the rf cognized leader of his party, and demands that the great mass of his partisans shall setve him, not merely by prostraticb of body, but by prostration of mind. , It isTthe hard duty oi his more intimate associates to translate' his broken utterances from Andy Johnton into constitutional phrase, to give these versions some shew of Jogieal arrangement, and to oarry out, as best they may, tneir own onjeots, . while professing boundless devotion to his. - By a eoDhteti- oal prooss of developing his rude notions, they often lead him to conclusions whioh be had not foresen, but which thev Iridnee him to make his own, not by a fruitless effort to quicken his mind into following the steps of their reasoning, but by stimulating his pawioos to the ooint ot adont. ing its results." They thus become cars- sites in order that they may become powers, j auu meir interests ma ec men particularly ruthless in their dealings with their master's consistency. Their relation to him ', if they would bluntly express it. michl be hr dioated in that brief formula: ''We will adore you in order that yon may ofcey us.'' The trouble with these politicians. ia.ihat they cannot tie the President' -tongug, a. a they tied the tongues of the eminent per sonages they invited from-all portions (of the country to keep silent at their great Convention at Philadelphia. ' That Convention was a master-piece of cunning political management; but its addresses 'aid resolutions were hardly laid at Mr. John son s feet, when, in Jiis exultation,, ke Kill -1 11 ft -nt .. . i -1 l' J - - vaauonu W W, 1 112 I Congreca of the United fltatet," which hi ftfinparQ "Bra ka aaan tin 1 iL. 1 verge of the Government." Now all, this was in the Address of the Convention, but it was not so brutally worded, nor So1 calculated to appal those-trmid ennnm-lers nf ihn Johuson party who thought, in thuir inno cence, that tbe object of the Philadelphia meeting was to heal the wounds ofciyil war, and hot to lay down" a programme by which it might be Teopened. "- Hurning, then, from Mr. Johnson to tbe maiiiesFQf his political supporters, let us see what ad-diiions it makes to political wisdom, and what gnarrantees it affords for future peace. We shall, not discriminate between3 Insur gent States and individual, insurgents, because, when individual insurgents arrtso overwhelmingly strong that they -carry their States with them: or when States are so overwhelmingly strong that they foroe individuals to be insurgents,-' it appears rto be needless. The terms are often used interchangeably in the Address, for the Convention was so largely composed of., individual insurgents that It was important to vary a little the charge that thev usnrntfd State powers with , the qualification thai they obeyed the powers they usurped, 4( tbe South, individual insurgents constitute the State when they determine to rebel, arid obey it when they desire to be pardoned. An identical thing cannot be altered by giving it two names. .. ,, i The principle whioh runs through the Philadelphia Address is, that insurgent States recover their former rights under the Constitution by the mere faot ot submission. This is equivalent to saying that the insur gent states incurred no guilt in rebellion. But States cannot beoome insurgent, nnless the authorities of suoh State commit ner- jury and treason, and their people become reoeis ana puotio enemies; perjury, treason and rebellion are commonly held to be crimes; and who ever heard before, that I criminals were restored to all theif'r'ights oi nonesi citizens ny tne mere fact or their arrest? . ii The doctrine, moreover, is a worse hcreav than that of secession; for secession implies that seceded States, being out of the Union, can plainly only be brought back by ' oon-queBt and on suoh terms as the.viotors saay choose to impusB. No oandid Southern rah el who believes that his State eeceded, and that he acted under competent authority when tie took up armg against tbe United States, can have theeffrontry to affirm that he bad inherent rights of citizenship. in "the foreign oounlry" against' which, he plotted and fought for four years. The 'so-called "right" of secession was claimed by the South as a constitutional right, to be peaceably exercised, but it passed intogthe broader and more intelligible "rights of revolution when it had to be sustained 'by war, and tbe condition of a defeated revolutionist !b certainly not that of a qualified voter in the nation, ,-against which hTe volted. But if insurgent -States recover their former right and privileges, when they submit to superior foroe, there is no reason why armed rebellion ah paid not , bj r.H common as looai discontent. We have, on this prinoiple, sacrificed thirty five hundred millions of dollars and three hundred thousand lives, only to bring the insurgent states mio just tnose "practical relations to i tie union ' whlon will enable us to aacrU fice thirty-five hundred millions of dollars more, and ' three , hundred thousand more lives, when it suits the passions and caprices of these 'States to rebel again. Whatever they may do in the way of disturbing the peace ef the oonnlry, they can never, it seems, forfeit thelf rights arid 'privileges under the Constitution.. Even r if 'evry-body was positively certain that there would b a new rebellion In ten years, unless conditions of representation were exacted of the Bomb, we still, accord ine' to' the doctrine of tbe Johnsonian jurists, would be constitutionally impotent to exaol them, be cause insurgent states recover unconditioned right to representation by thd mere fact of their submitting to the power they can no longer resist. The acceptance of this prinoiple would make insurrection the chronic disease of our political system. War would follow war, until nearly all the wealth oi ine nountry was squandered, arid nearly all the inhabitants exterminated, ' Mr. Johnson's prophetic vision of that Paradise of constitutionalism, shadowed forth in his exolamation thaf 'he would stand by: the Constitution though all around him should perish, would be measurably milled; and among the ruing of the nation a few ragged pedants would be left to drone out enlogiet on "the glorious Constitution'' which, had survived unharmed the anarchy, poverty and depopulation it bad produced. An interpretation of the Constitution which thus make It the shield of treason' and the .destroyer of Civilization must be false both to f isoi ana sense, ine iramers or that Instrq menrwere not Idiolsii vet idiotd in.V'AHi certainly have been If they had put Intp It i.;oiU;:s; V, i'tiB. JOJ ;(,!?-. MJBU a clause declaring "that no State, or com- Dtnation or States, which may at any time choose to get up an armed attempt lo overthrow the Government established by this Constitution, and be defeated in the attempt, shall forfeit any of the privileges granted by this instrument to the loyal States." But an interpretation of .he Constitution which oan be conceived of as forming a possible part of it only by impeaching the sanity cf ite framers, cannot be,n interpretation whioh the American people are -morally bound to risk ruin to support. . But even if we should be wild enough lo admit the Johnsonian prinoiple respecting insurgent States, the question oomes up s to the identity of the States now demanding representation with tbe States whose rights of representation are affirmed lo have brea only suspended during their re bellion. The faot would seem to be that these reconstructed States are merely the creauous or tne executive branch of the UOYernment, with every organio bond bona leeely cut whioh connected them with the old State governments and constitutions. They have only the names of the Btates they preienaea to m. Berore the rebellion they had a legal people; when Mr. JohnBon took hold of them they had nothing but a disor ganized population. Uat or this population he by his own will created a people. On the principle, we must suppose, of natural e- eouon. mow, to decide who are the people, of a State is to create its very foundations to begin anew in the most ootnpre hens,ive sense of the world; for the being oi a State is more in its people, that, is, in the persons selected from its Inhabitants to be the depositaries of its political power, than it ie in its geographical boundaries and area. Over this people thus constituted by himself, Mr. Johnson set provisional Governors nominated by himself. These Governors called popular conventions, whose members were elected by the votes cf those to whom Mr. Johnson had given the right of suffrage; and these conventions proceeded to do what Mr. Johnson dio ated. Every where Mr. Johnson; nowhere the assumed 'rights of the Stated North Carolina, was one of these . creations; and North Carolina, through the lips of its chief Justice, bar already decided that Mr, John son was an unauthorizjd Intruder, and hie work a nullity, and even Mr. Johnson's "people" of North Carolina have rejected the constitution framed by. Mr. Johnson's convention. . Oiher rebel communities will doubtless repudiate his work, as soon as they can dispense with hie assistance. But whatever may be theoondition of theBe new Johnsonian States, they are certainly not States which can "reoover" rights which existed previous to , their creation. The aate or their birth is to be reckoned, not from any year previous to the rebellion, but from the year whioh followed its suppres sion. 1 It may, in old times, have been a polilio triok of shrewd politicians to ins volve the foundations of States in the mists ota mythical antiquity; but we happily live in an historical period, and there is something peculiarliarly stupid or peculiarly impudent In tbe attempt of the publicists of the Philadelphia Convention to ignore the origins of political societies for which, after tbey have obtained a certain degree of or ganisation, they claim such eminent tradi tional rights and privileges. Respectable as these States may be as infant phenomena, it will not da to Methustlahae them too recklessly, or assert their equality in muscle and brawn with giants full grown. Jt is evident, from the nature of tbe case, that Mr. Johnedn's labors were purelv ex perimental and provisional, snd needed the endorsement of Congress to be of any force. The only department of the eovtrnment constitutionally capable to admit new States or reinnabliiralo insurgent ones is the legislative. When the Executive not only took the initiative in reconstruction, but assumed to have completed it; but when he presented hi States to Congress as the equals of the States represented in that body; when he asserted that the delegates from his States should have the right of sitting and voting in the . legislature whose "business it was to decide on their right to admission; when, iu snort, ne uemanaea that criminals at tbe bar should have a seat on the benob. and amequal voioe with the judges, in decidiug on their own case, the effrontery or Executive pretensions went beyond all bounds of Congressional endurance. The real difference at first was not on the question of imposing ' conditions for the President 'had notoriously imposed them himself but on the question whether or not additional conditions. were necessary to secure the pnblio safety. The President, wun tnat laciltty "in turning his back on himself which all other leeical evmnasta boldly took the ground, that, being satisfied naa pronounced an impossible feat, then with the conditions he had himself exacted, tne exaction ot conditions was unconstitutional. To sustain this ourious proposition he adduoed no. .constitutional arguments. but he left vans copies of the Constitution in each of the crowds he recently addressed, with the trust, we suppose, that somebody might be fortunate enough to find in that instrument the clause whioh sup ported his theory. Mr. Johnson, however, though the moBt consequential of individuals, is the most inconsequential of reason-ers ; every proposition whioh is evident to himself he considers to .fulfill the definition of a self evident proposition ; but his supporters at Philadelphia must have known, that, in affirming that insurgent Slates recover their former rights by tbe faot of submission, they were arraigning the conduct or tneir leader who had notoriously violated those "rights." They took up his work at a certain stage, and then, with that as a basis, they affirmed a general proposition about insurgent States, which, had it been complied with by the President, would have left then no foundation at all; for the Slates about .whioh they so eliblv Leneralized would have had no show of organized govern ments. The premises of their argument were obtained by the violation of its con elusion ; they inferred from what wag a ne gation or their .-inference, and deduced from what was a death-blow to their de duction. It is easy enough to understand wbv the Johnson. Convention asserted tbe equality of the Johnson reconstruction of States with the Elates now represented in Congress. The object, was to give some appearance of legality to a contemplated aot of arbitrary power, and the priaeiple that insurgent States recover all their old rights by the aot of submission was invented in order to cover the case. Mr. Johnson now intends, by the admission of his partisians, to attempt a roup detat on the assembling of the Fortieth Congress, in ease seventy-one members of the Huase of Representatives, favor ame to . nis policy, are ohosen in the elec tions oi this autumn, from the twenty -six loyal States. These, with the fifty Sou hern delegates, would constitute a quorum of the nouse, ana tne remaining hundred and nineteen members are, in the .President's favorite phrase, "to be kicked out" from that "verge" of the Government on whioh ihey ..now . are said to be "haneine." The question, therefore, whether Congress, as it ie m present constituted, is a body constitutionally competent to legislate for the whole country, is the most, important of all practical questions. Let ns see how the case stands. :; The Constitution, ratified by the people of all the States, establishes a government of sovereign powers, supreme over the whole land, and the people of no Stale can rightly pass, from under its authority exoept by the consent ot the people-f all the States, with whom it is bound by the most solemn and binding of oontraots. The rebel State broke. in fuel, the. contract they could sot break in rtgru. Assembled in conventions of their people, they passed ordinances of secession, withdraw their Senators and Representatives from Congress, and began the war by assailing a fort of the United States. The secessionists had trusted to the silence of the Constitution in relation to the aot they performed. A State in Ihe American Union, as distinguished from a Territory, is constitutionally a part of-Out. Government to which it ewes allegiance; and the seceded Stales had refused to be parts of the Government, and had forsworn their allegiance. By the Cpnsiitntion, the United States, in case of ' domestic violence" in a State, is to interfere, t'on application of the Legialuljire, or of the Executive when the Legislature cannot be convened." But in this ease legislatures, executives, oonven-jjons of be. people, were all violators of the MOKMING COLUMBUS, OHIO, FRIDAY domestic peace, aad of course made no ap plication for interference. By the Consti tution, Congress is empowered to suppress insurrections, but this might be supposed to mean msurreotions like ehy a Rebellion iu Masa&obueetis and the Whisky Insurrection in Pennsylvania, and not to cover the action of States seceding from the Con gress whioh is thus empowered.. The se-ceders, therefore, felt somewhat as did the absconding James II. when he flung the Great Seal into the Thames and thought he bad slopped the machinery of the English Uovernment. " v ' Mr. Buchanan, then President of the Uni ted States, admitted at onoe that the secessionists bad done tbeir work in such a way that, though they had done wrong, tbe Gov eminent was powerless to compel (hem to do right. And bere tbe matter should have rested, if the government established by the Constitution was suoh a government as Mr. Johnson's supporters now deolare it to bs. if it ia impotent to prescribe -terms- ef peace in relation to insurgent states, it is oer- lainly impotent to make war on insurgent states. If insurgent States recover, their former constitutional rights in laying down their arms, then there was no criminality in heir taking them up; and if there- whs no criminality in their taking them up( then tbe United States was criminal in the war by which tbey were forced to lay them oown. un this theory we nave a govern ment incompetent to legislate for incut gont btates, because lacking" ifcelr represents lives, waging against them a cruel antl un- just war. , And this is the real theory Tf the defeated rebels and Copperheads who formed the great mass of the delegates to the John son Convention. Should they gat into power, they would feel themselves logically justified in annulling, not only all thej acts or tbe "itump Uongress since they submitted, but all the aots of the Rump Congresses during the time they had a Confederate Congress of their own. They deny that tnis is their intention; but what intention io fotego tbe exercise of an assumed light, neia oy those who are out cr power, can oe supposed capable of limiting their action when they are in? . ' ' I But if the United Slates is a government having legitimate rights of sovereignty con- rerred upon It by the people of all. the States, and if, consequently, the attempted secession of the people of one or mora fifates only makes them criminals, without impairing the sovereignty of the United States, then the government, with all its powers, remains with the representatives of! the loyal people. By the very nature of government as government, the rights jand privileges guaranteed to citizens are guaranteed to loyal oitizens; the rights and privileges guaranteed to States are guaranteed to loyal States; and loyal oitizens and loyal States are not such as profess a Will ingness to be loyal after having been utterly worsted in an enterprise : of gigantio disloyalty. The organic unity and continuity of the government would be broken bylthe return of disloyal citizens and rebel Stiles without their going through the proceed of being restored by the action of the government they had ' attempted to subvert; and the power to restore' carries with it he power to decide- on the terms of restoration. And wbeu we speak of the mvernment. we are not courtly enough to mean bythe-ex-pression simply its executive branoh. the question of admitting and implicitly of teetering States, and of deciding whether or not btates have a republican form of gov ernment, are matters left by the Constitution to the discretion' of Congress. Aej to the rebel States now olaiming representation, they have succumbed, thoroughly ex hausted, in one cf the costliest and bloodiest wars in the history of the world a wari which tasked the r. souroes ef the United j States more than they would have been tasked by a war with all tire mat Powrfrs of Europe combined a war wfiTofi, in 1862, had aseumed suoh proportions that the Supreme Court deoided that it gave the United States the same rights and privileges which tne uovernment might exercise la theroate of a national and foreign war.' The inhabi tants or the insurgent States beine ' thus judicially declared public enemies as well as rebels, there would seem to be no doubt at all that the victcWous close of actual hostilities could not deprive the Government of the power of deoiding on the terns of peaoe with public enemies. The Government of the United States found the insurgent States thoroughly revolutionized and disorganized, with no State governments that could be recognized without recognizing the validity of treason, and without the power of right to take even the ini tial steps for State reorganization. They were praotically out of tbe Union as States; their state governments had lapsed; tbeir population was composed of rebels and public enemies, by the decision of the Supreme Court. Under such circumstances, how the Commander-in-Chief, under , Congres, of the forces of the United State, could recreate these defunct Slates, and make it mandatory on Congress to receive their delegates, has always appeared, to us one of those mysteries of unreason whioh re quire faculties either above or below hu manity to accept. In addition to this fun damental objeot ion, there was the further one, that almoBt all of the delegates were rebels fresidentially pardoned into "loyal men," were eleoted with the idea of foioing Congress to repeal the test path, and were incapacitated to be legislators even if they had been sent from loyal States. The few who were loyal men In the sense that they had not served the rebel government, were still palpably elected by cpnstituents who had; and the charaoter of the constituency is as legitimate a subject of Congressional in quiry as the character of the representa tive. . It not being true, then, that the twenty- two hundred thousand loyal voters who placed Mr. Johnson In office, , and who he betrayed, have no meahB by their representatives in Congress to exert, a controlling power in the reconstruction of the rebel communities, the question oomea up as to the conditions wbioh Congress has imposed.; It always appeared to us that the true measure of conciliation, of security, of mercy, of justice, was one whioh would combine the principle of universal amnesty, or an am-; nesty nearly universal, with that of universal, or at least of impartial suffrage. In regard to amnesty, the " amend. ment to .the Constitution which Congress has passed disqualifies no rebels from vot ing, and only disqualifies them from holding office when they have happened to add per jury to treason. In regard to suffrage, it makes it for the poliiiual interest of the South to be just to ite colored citizens, by basing representation on voters, and not on population, and thus places the indulgence of class prejudices and hatreds under the penalty oi ;t corresponaing loss or political power in the Electoral College and the National House of Representatives. If the reoei mates snould be restored without this amendment becoming a part of the Conati tution, then the recent slave States will have thirty Presidential Electors and thirty members of the House cf Representatives in virtue ef a population they disfranchise, ana tne vote or a reoel white In South Carolina will carry with it more than- double tbe power of a foyaL white in Massachusetts or Oiiio. The only ground on whioh thi. disparity oan be defended Is, that as . ."one Southerner is more than a match for two Tankees," he has an inherent, continuous, unconditioned right, to have -this superiority recognized at the ballot-box:. Indeed, the injustice of this is so morstrous, that the Johnson orators find it more convenient to decry all conditions of representation than to meet the incontrovertible reasons for exacting the condition whloh bases representation on voters Not to make it a part of the Constitution would be, in Mr. Shellabarger's viyid illustration, to allow "that Lee's . vote should have double the elective power of Grant's; Semmes's double that of Farragut's; Booth' did h lie double tlat of Lincoln', Ait efettm It is Blso to be considered that thirty votes would,, in most all future sessions of Congress, decide the fate of the most im portant measures. In 1868 ihe Republicans, as Congress is now constituted, only had a majority of twenty votes. Is alli-anoe with the Northern Democratic nartv. the South with these thirty votes might repeal the civil rights bill, the "prinoiple of which it embodied in the proposed amendment ' It might assume the rebel debt, which is repudiated in that amendment. It might even repudiate the Federal debt; , Which is affirmed ia that amendment.- We MORNING, OCTOBER 2b7 1866. are so accustomed to look at the rebel debt as dead beyond all power of resurrection, as to forffet that it nioniinlu. wilh Ihn vein. ation of the emancipated slaves, to some tour muuaana minions o. a o liars, jr toe South and its Northern Democratic allies should come into power, there is a strong probability that a measure would be brought in to assume at least a portion of this debt -say two inousana millions, xse Southern members would be nearly a unit for as sumption, and the .Northern Democratic members would certainly be exposed to tbe most frightful temptation that legislators ever had (o resist.

And this brings us to Prof. Godbey. Who is he? He is described among the faculty as "Rev. W. B. Godbey. A. M., President and ProfeeBor of Collegiate Sciences and Greek Language." That is what he is. But what are "collegiate sciences?" They are high sciences, no doubt perhaps high-falutin. Yet, never mind that.
