Our view of this act of i818 is this— It was intended only to meko it the dnty of the Sasoataryod Bute to give publle ,-p f - tf the official proceedings of tho several States upon the Constitutional Mtendments ss they appeared of hie in office. This was highly proper; and when from the returns so filed, it ap peared that three-fourths of tho States had dnly ratified an amendment, it was to bo published by him, leaving, of course, all questions touching its validity, jost as all questions touchiug tho constitutionality 'cZrts tko. * ursto'lVr "SlSnSS rj»«W about oaotol/lto "oasM.. nLMMSQSi oitr aailor Isslg.r, Is he who conducts the Vsihington Pat- not pls«MA»itb"aiit> Knurosrt Boar," that heralded through his oolnmnsf If so doss he not pensive that it is the “old Kwrooti aoaa" ell708 f It is a “uoaa” against v<uru«r>, and «U their A to* orinaes aa wolles *wl one*.

The first ten Amendment* were adopt ed soon after tho Government went into operation under tho Constitution of 1787. The fad of the ratification of these, by the several States acting upon them, was communicated by General Washington, the President, in messages to Congress, aocompsnied by the official Documents In the issue of Tun Suit to-day will bo found an article under the above heading, L •* k * k o k from the Augusta (Go.) CoiuHtudmudist of the Uth inataut Oar ootomporary seems not to nnder- staud what we denied, and what wa join ed issue with him npon, in oar notice of his first article upon tbe inbjeot of the Ju dicial power over question* oonuoeted with Oonstitntlonal amendments. This misap prehension on hit part oleerlyappean tom his seoond srtiolu referred to, end which, ea stated, we give our reader* lu full to day. We did not deny that the Secreta ry of State had any authority to issue a proclamation upon the aubjeot of Con stitutional Amendments; hut wodid deny his rightful authority to determine by proclamation, even with the great seal of State attached to it, what is and what is not part of the Constitution; and this denial tru repeat, notwithstanding the sot of Congress of 1818, arrayed against us with so maeb-eoeniiag confidence by our ootemporary. That set of Congress we were well aware of when we penned what we did On thispoiat, and hence weoon- fined onr language to the denial of any ripifWfinthoiity (underscoring the word) on his part, ia this way, to judgments the eaUdUy of amendments to the Constitu tion, or by his attachment of the great seal of State to auoh procla mations, to •'preclude’' the Courts from going behind this great seal so attached, and inquiring irito the real facte of the once. We utterly deny the rightful pow er of Congmaa to confer any such “ ow thority" apw the Secretary of State, or upon any offioer eadsw the ttovernnaect nor do we believe that My inch intention existed at the Ume of the paamge of the aet of 1818. Bat whether It did or not, nothing is dearer than that under the Constitution of the United States, Con gress had no power to pern an act with such intention or with snob effect Be the question between tu end oar ootempowy, on this point, ia not one to be settled by the adduction of the sot of 1818. If qffitotd with this view, we aamil it upon the same grounds weamail the whole dooMaee of ooreotemporary upon this entire anhiect. We need not, we trust, elaborate troths aa indisputable as these: that Congress can rightfully exercise no power which ia not dearly delegated by the States in the oompaot of their union; and that no power is therein delegated to them, either direetlyor indimoUy, to pern final *n4 ... absolute Jnfigmeht upon the validity <rf]hia whet pnrpmtsteheM amen dm mtttothe Oonetttaltoo, except in eaaaafiUieg with, in the separate and exoludve jarisdickoa of their Homes reepeetivdy; in othm States had duly ratified these ten amend ments, uad no one controverted the fact, they were all by general consent accepted and aetod upon as valid parte of the Or ganic Law—there was no proclamation or public announcement of tho foot what ever. In all subsequent editions of the Constitution they were published ns parte of the same; end so regarded by the ntbur Departments of onr Oovorment, as well as the people elsewhere; because there was no moro question as to the va lidity of their proposal and ratification than thoro was as to tho Constitution itself. Tho eleventh amendment, thut which prohibits the bringing of Bults against a State by citizens of other States of tho Union or of Foreign States, Whs pro posed in 1704. Quito a number of States, it was kuowu, had ratified it between its propo sal and the closo of the year 1797; but w hich ones mid what lmmla-r was nof exactly known in tho country generally. Congress, therefore, by Resolution, called upon tho President for the official infer motion in his office of the proceedings of tho States which had passed upon it. In reply to this Resolution Mr. Adams, who was till'll President, stated in a message dated the 80th of December, 1797, that from official documents in the office of the Hcefctary of State it appeared that this Amendment had been duly ratified by three-fourths of the States. No Other pirvdamatiim was nude about it. No ouo In Congress questioned its validity on any grounds whatever, and it, too, Was afterwards publishns part of theOoMtitution in nil subsequent editions of that instrument, Tho twetflh amendment—that which ohanged the mode of electing the Presi dent and Vice President of the United Slates—was proposed in 1803, and adopt ed by threo-foarths of the States as early ss the month of September, 1804, Mr. Jeffereoowaaat this time President; and when official information was receiv ed in his offioe of tho notion of the requi site number of States ratifying it, he ~ tho lllen Socrotary of State to give public notice of the tamo in tho news- This was important information for the people'of all the States to have at that time, aa the choioo of electors for President Md.Vloa President tar another term was to oome off that fall. This public newsjtopcr notice of the ratification of fill amendment was given by the Sec retary of State on the 25Ut September, 1804. No one questioned tbe validity of tho amendment in any way. This is a suc cinct review of those matters np to 1818. M .that time other amendments had bcM proposed; and the object of the act of 1818 seems dearly to have been sim ply, by tarn, to direct tho Secretary, of State to give public notice of the foot, when appear from official returns in that any new amendment had been ratified by the requests num ber el States, just as Mr. Jeftnon had directed him to do in 1804 of his own aooord, and mdhosd <my lose. This is the whola of it One thing is oectain, and ■fii* rnhdity ol the 14th and loth amend mente, so-called, nor preclude judioia! in vestigatious concerning them, any more than the public newspaper notice of Mr. decretory Madison, given upon tho bare instructions ol Mr. Jefferson, 00*11 h&vo estopped or prcuudml Uke inquiry or inves tigation concerning the validity of the J2th amendment. Now, the question between us and our ootomporary of Augusta, On., is whether tho courts of tbe countr/ out ever, in any investigation, go behind this public no tice or certificate of a Secretary of State, setting forth baroly what appears from returns iu his office. Our cotemporary says: “We maintain that the Supreme Court is precluded from going behind the certificate, and discussing whether the amendment so certified is valid. It is bound to accept tho same as valid. This is the clear and distinct position of our ootomporary. Ours, on tho con trary, is equally clear and distinct, tliat neither the Supreme Court of the United States, nor any other Court in the land, either State or Federal, high or low, is thus precluded from going behind any such certificate and inquiring whether the amendment so certified to is in truth and fait valid or not. All courts in this country aro judgos of what is and what is not constitutional in Legislation. Tho Judioiol Department of onr Governments, both State and Federal, was instituted for the purpose of “opening the door,” and opening it wide, too, for just such inquiries and investigations, however "interminable they may be." All courts were instituted to make in vestigations into frauds and wrongs of all Boris properly ooming before them, ee "interminably" as thejunjust perpetra tors of them shall render it necessary. It seems a little strango to us that our ootomporary, aftor his broad and unquali fied ilonial of our position, should hnve, in the very next sentence, admitted enough to upsot tho entiro fabric of h>s declamatory assertions; for argument it cannot be called. The admission wc re fer to is in these wand* : “Wo have met “ with but one case reported where tho Su preme Court entertained a question of “ fact as to whother on amendment to the “Constitution was constitutionally rati- “fled.” , WoU, if • tho Supreme Court of the United States lies in one case entertained a question of fact, os to whether on amendment to tho Constitution was prop erly ratified or not, why may they not in another ? How can it be affirmatively and broadly answered iu advance of tho question being presented to thorn, that they will not in another ? How can it be so unqualifiedly ussertod that they are "precluded” from entertaining the ...rt-T-t- "... fir.lanuv.i-AH' ’ ""Tu t.nat “ case the point was not made denying “the right of tlio Court to go iuto the “ inquiry." Now, we suppose that the cose here re ferred to is tlio case of Hollingsworth cl ah vs. Virginia, 3, Dallas 378. In Hint ease, at any rate, a question touching tho vatulity ol the eleventh Amendment did come up or was raised — the jioint made was that the Joint Reso lution of tlio two Houses of Congress proposing this Amendment to the States, had not been presented to tho President and had not received his approval; nnd therefore the Amendment itself was void. Tho Court overruled the point. They held, and rightly held, after urginnent upou it, that the approval of the I'nwi- dent was net necessary to a Resolution of tills character, and that tho Anii'iidnnn)t was not mtalid on the grounds alleged. If the counsel on the other side did not object to tho Coart's taking jurimliotion of the qtW.Htie«, it Was, perhaps, beeanao they thought as we do, that atteli a [Hisi- tion would ho utterly untenable. llut tire greet foot which wo wish now to call IBjrini attention to is that tlio Supreme Ckmit of the United Statee has taken jurisdiction of the .pteslion and pro- nouiicetl jwhpnrn' npm it in at bast oh* lakes issue. It goes iartlier, and de nies the authofity of tho Secretary of State t, i-.-ov' n proclamation on the ini bicot. This ia the language of Tin Si'S f “To this we have barely to say at this time, that tho Supreme Court is not pre cluded from going behind tho great seal of State attached to any proclamation of Mr. Secretary Seward concerning matters over which he was clothed with no proper power or authority to issue a proclama tion. The great seal ol State, iarespected l»y tho Supremo Court, or any other -ourt, only when attached by tho proper officer to such papers and documents us lie has duo authority to sttacli it to. Of the nature of the paper, as well as tile constitutional authority to attach the seal of State to it, by the parson so at taching it, the Court must judge and de cide. “Suppose a Secretary or President should attach the grout seal of Stato to a warrant for the arrest or imprisonment execution of any one, even the moat notorious and reckless criminal in the land, ia the Supreme Court, or any oonrt, precluded from going behind it, and in quiring and deording w hether he had any proper authority for putting it there or uot? Wo say no!—and woe be to the to of this country if such doctrines shall ever be entertained and sanctioned by the people! Wo say the Secretary of State has no more riyhtful authority to attach the great aoal of State to a prWoJ motion declaring what is aud what is not a part of the Constitutinu of the United States than ho has to a warrant for the arrest or execution of any person oithor before or after tijaL It is no part of hi* duty; and no oourt, understanding its ddties, with integrity aud firmness to discharge them, will over pay any more attention to it in tho ouo case than in the other. “A- H. S." As this is a matter of fact, and not of argument, we simply quote in re ply the statute of 1818, prescribing tv* r 41.„ Rtuto- the duties of tho Secretary of State “Whenever official notice shall have been received at the Department of Stato that an amendment has been adopted, the Secretary of State shall cause the amendment to lo published in the newspapers authorized to pro mulgate the laws, witli his certificate specifying the States by which the same may have been adopted, and that the same lias become valid aa a part of the Constitution.” We maintain tliat the Supreme Court is precluded from going behind the certificate, and discussing wheth er the amendment so certified to is valid. It is bound to accept the same as valid. If the door is to be opened for investigations before the Supreme Conrt as to the validity of parte of the Constitution, aud how they came to be adopted, all ideas on this sub ject become unsettled. Such investi gations might be interminable. We have met with but one case rc ported where the Supreme Court en tertained a question of fact as to whether an amendment to the Con stitution was constitutionally ratified. In that caso the point was not made denying the right of the Court to go iuto the inquiry. But if the Supreme Court is com petent to pass upou the validity o: amendments duly declared and adqp tgd, und can by its decision strike less excuse'for The revolutionary pro cess of treating them as nullities by President or Congress. If the Su preme Court has jurisdiction in the oa.-e, then it is a judicial question, und that is the proper tribunal to re sort to, to nullify the Constitution or any part of it.—Augusta Constitu Homilist, Aug. 1L Head of Third St., Sign of “The New Flag.” M1ACONJGEOKCHA.

New Orleans to-day is in a complete ferment. Tlio grand Convention which is to decide the Radical policy of tho btate of Louisiana, during the next Presidential canvass, is to come off.to-morrow. The first fight as immensely important point, whether tho Convention should hold its session at tho.Mechauios’ Institute, or at’Undo Sam’s Custom lloua*. terminated in favor of the latter, whtolt is regarded as u triumph the Dunnite over the Warmonth par ty, the Governor having determined that the Convention should hold its pow-wom at the Mechanics’ Institute. It is, at tho presont moment, some what doubtful which of these factions will prevail. Both have cnoourag- ttig prospects. Warmonth will be sus tained by a numerous body of State officials, whose continuance in their places is dependent on his will; hut opposed to him, stands a powerful phalanx of Federal officers, the Col lector of the Port, the Postmaster of New Orleans, and other well known wire-workers, backed, it is said, by President Grant himself. I The Convention will be a very checkered body, conijtosed, iu a large degree, of tho colo.ed element. A good deal of sport is anticipated, ami 1 shall take an early opportunity to. give you any intelligence in resjiect to the aotion of this extraordinary assemblage, which I think may either directly or indirectly bear on the po litical issues of the day. If War- month fails in maintaining and con solidating his ascendancy, you need not bo surprised, should you find him occupying, ere long, an entirely new platform. Ho has been sometime past eudeavoring to kick from nnder him the underpinning by which he rose to power—I mean the negrooa, and to affiliate himself respectably with the Caucasian race. He is ambitious of Federal distinctions. If he can- uot get the next United States Sena- tonhin from this State that is vacant, he will wait patiently for the next that oflera. Iu the meantime, he will hold on to the Governorship, if he can, and probably inaugurate a white man’s party as against tho colored race, with which he hfts cettaed to fra ternize as vehemently as formerly.
