Mr. Bwinell: -
Dear Sir.—The Board of Registers of
the 42d senatorial District, comprising
the county of Bartow, Floyd and Chat
tooga, are now Registering the names
of voters of this county entitled to vote
under the Sherman bill. All classes,
that are entitled to register, come up
without delay and register. Indeed
all that can register are anxious to do
so. Those that know they are exclu
ded do not desire to register.
We hold that all those who have
taken an Gath to support the Constitu
tion of the United States, at the most
remote date, and afterwards engaged in
rebellion are excluded. Some, however
of this class, seem anxious to register;
We administer the Oath, attest it, class
it excluded, and write in a few words
our reasons for the exclusion opposite
their name.
All are quiet and the best of feel
ing prevails,’ with great anxiety to get
back to this government they- once
loved. We will register the Voters of
Bartow in July and appropriate the
month ofAugust to Floyd. This Course
is persued so as to give Floyd all the
time we can, as it is the largest county.
Due notice of the time and places will
be given for Floyd.

these bills find the authority for their

not anticipated ;and not provided for

power in necessity, some in humanity,
and some in international law 1 Be
fore I conclude these notes it is my
purposeto devote separate and special
attention to each of the apologies for
these bills, (for they are not arguments)
but I wish to say now, that if these po

Congress has fotind for itself a much
broader grant of power outside of the
Constitution than exists inside ot that
instrument. Indeed they have found
outside a power by which thev can de
stroy the Constitution, by which alone
the Congress itself was created and has
being. If this be so, oUt* fathers did a
silly work in providing A written Con

[From the Chronicle and Sentinel.
Notes on .the Situation—-No. 3
BTB. B. HILL.
When any measure of legislation in
America is presented for our' accep
tance or approval, the first question
should always be. Is it constitutional ?
or, better phraseology would be, Is 4t
authorized by the Constitution ? For,
in America, the distinctive, distin
guishing.’ feature of Government, State
and Federal, is the written Constitution.
This is the Alpha and Omega of all
true American statesmenship. It iB
also the only impregnable fortress for
American liberty. The written. Consti
tution are words which should be re
peated by every citizen every day and
every hour, and held as indispensable
to the preservation of American Polit
ical life, as is air or water, or meat or
drink to the preservation of animal
life.
In entering on the discussion of the
Military Bills, the first remarkable fact
which strikes us, is the general concession
that they are not in accordance with
the Federal Constitution. In the - debates
on the passage of the Supplemental
bill, some of the advocates of these
measures upon submitting to the peo
ple of the several States affected, to de
cide “for, or against” the State Conven
tion, through which the purposes are to
be accomplished, because if the people
s l -ndd vole for the Convention, and thereby
admit andapprot the propriety and necessity
for the measures, the whole plain would be
relieved of the unconstitutional objec
tions 1 Thus even Radical fanatics
fotind it necessary to provide some ex
cuse for their consciences 1 And this
excuse consists in an attempt to se
cure the consent of the people—yea, of
the people to be degraded—to the
scheme which is to degrade them, and
thus to rest the legality of the plan not
upon the Constitution, but upon the consent
of the people! And this consent is to be
secured by disfranchising intelligence
by military tule, by threats, and last,
though not least, by bribery 1 The ne
gro race, duped by emissaries and aid
ed by deserters from their Own blood, is
to give consent for the wnite race !
Mr.Stanbery, in his argument before
the Supreme Court, though denying
the juris fiction of the Court in the
case made, felt it necessary 1 to disclaim
any admission that the bills were con
stitutional, but admitted the contrary,
and hoped, when the proper case should
be made, which he admitted could be
made in many ways, the Court would
discharge its duty.
It is true that Mr. Sumner and such
as he claims that Congress has the
right, under the ; Conatitution. to pass
such bills, and for all the States, and
locates the power in two clauses of the
Constitution : that which requires the
United States to “guarantee a Repub-
can” government to each State, and the
latter clause of the fourteenth amend:
ment, which authorizes Congress “by
•‘appropriate legislation” to enforce”
the emancipation of the slave.
But whatever may be claimed for
Mr. Sumner otherwise, it' is certain he
is not respectable authority on ques
tions of Constitutional law. No fanati-
ical mind can be regarded as safe, or
become respectable as ah expounder
of law; because fanatical minds will ac
cept nothing as true except What they
desire to be true. But law is an- inflexi
ble rule, and none but inflexible minds,
rigid in spite of theories and bard laws,
can either truly learn, greatly love, or
safely expound the law.
But even if Mr. Sumner ana such as
Then, we may safely sa)i that, what
legal minds admit is true, to wit: That
these military bills are not authorized
by any provision of the Constitution,
and, if justifiable at all, they must be
justified by circumstances—by some
condition, by some authority outside of
the Constitution. ■ And now, wise, pru
dent, partriotic readers, lovers of law
and law’s safety, propound and answer
this question : If Congress has a sphere,
a dominion, an existence outside of
the Constitution, whence did it come,
where does it lie, and what is its ex
tent, its .length and breadth? Do you
not know there is no dominion outside
of.the Constitution and laws but the
dominion of anarchy—grim, bloody,
lawless, thriftless, hopeless anarchy ?—
Do you not know that the very defini
tion of anarchy is outside of law; disre
gard of law, abandonment of law ? Have
not all.people who have gone into an
archy, and reaped her riot of ruin, dope
so under the pressure of bad men and
circumstances ? And will Americans, black
or white, abandon the well defined
boundaries, the safe expositions, the
well-tried, ever sufficient and glorious
protection of a written Constitution,
and rush into the wild outside to find
safety for person, or for property, or
for liberty ?
But the argument must, n °t stop
here. These military bills are not on
ly not authorised by, but are directly
contrary to the Constitution. They
f>ul\ject citizens to trial for capital and
infamous-offenses without indictment
by a grand jury, which,. the Constitu
tion says, snail not be done. ■ They au
thorize trial without, a jury, which, the
Constitution says, shall not' be done;
and the Constitution, on this subject, is
so tender of liberty that it does not
trust the matter simply to a prohibi
tion, but it declares, with repeated em
phasis, the right: “The trial of all
crimes except in coses of impeachment,
shall be by jury.” In all criminal pros
ecutions the accused shall enjoy the
right to a speedy and public trial by an
impartial jury.”
They euspend the privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus when there is nei
ther insurrection nor invasion, which
the Constitution says shallnot be done.
In those and other respects, then,
military bills are in direct conflict'with
the plainest and most solemn injunc
tions and guarantees ol the Constitu
tion:
But these bills not only thus flagrant
ly violate the provisions of the Federal
Constitution, but they abrogate and de-
stioy in whole the Constitutions of ten
States, formed by the people, and au
thorize a new people to form constitu
tions, not according to the wishes of
either the new or the old electors, but
according to the wishes and under the
direct dictation of the authors of these
military bills, not one of whom resides
in either of the ten States thus tram
pled on, or can be subject to the gov
ernment of the Constitutions -which,
they thus dictate.
Nor is all yet told. These, bills not
only violate and destroy governments,
but they destroy—most ruthlessly de
stroy— the very principles on which all
American constitutions and govern
ments are dased, and to secure and per:
petuate which. Constitutions, State and
Federal, were made. Magna Charter 1 ;
Bill of Rights; Petition of Rights; the
Settlement; the glorious principles of
the Common Law; the compact wisdom
of centuries; the fruits of many bft>ody
revolutions; all the guards and guaran
tees which patriots, statesmen, judges
and people, by sword and by pen, for
eight hundred years have been provid
ing* and perfecting to build up and
make immortal that most Wonderful
blessing of human genius and power —
the structure of Anglo-Saxon liberty—
aie abrogated and withdrawn from ten
millions of people, of all sexes, colors
and classes,*who live in the ten unheard
and excluded States, and that, too, by
men, 1 repeat, who do not live in these
States; and who never think of them
but to hate, and never enter them but
to insult 1
Surely this is enough, but the argu
ment requires me to add that the bo
dy of men Who enacted these military
abominations were not the Congress
and had no authority to legislate. By
the Constitution all Federal, legislative
powers are vested in a “Congress of the
United States.” This Congress "shall
consist of a Senate and House of Repre
sentatives.” The House “shall be com
posed of members chosen by the people
of the several Stcties. ,,: The Senate “shall
be composed of two Senators from each
State:’ Now Was the body of men who
pretended; to enact these bills so Compos
ed? If not, they did not^—they could
not—be tAs Congress. Why were they
not so composed? By their own act?
Members to compose the Congress
Stote£f 0Se *h b w tKe people and allt be
States lor the House and the Senate.—
2* “*, e ..members from! ten States were
ew&dcd fronq then-seats by the members
of l b® other States, thus reducing what
would have been a Congress to a frag
mentary conclave of members. Ko
sophistory, no fanaticism, no ambition,
no peijury and no force Can escape.the
conclusion; These military bills hate
no authority. J. BeCatise they are
not authorized by the Constitution. 2.
Because they are contrary to—absolute
ly a nullity—the Constitution. And
6. Because they have never been pas
sed by the Congress. Naturalists tell
us or a venomous reptile whidh some-
times becoms so furiously - enraged it
sticks its fangs in its oWn flesh ahd dies
2L? t? P ois ° n - And it does seem
fitting that these mad violators of the
Oongress they were sworn to support,
these wild exterminatois of States, these
a furious murderers of -law
and liberty, should first, by their own
'set, have destroyed themselves in their
preparation and desire to destroy oth-
ers. *•
I do not.shrink from, but do most
heartily rejoice at, the inevitable conelu
sion* to which the argument, nerved by
the very sinews of logic and warmed by
the purest love of country, must lead*;
and. if American patriotism shall, not
finally and forever die, but shall awake
from the trance into which ambition
and lust for place have thrown it, then
will lines—dark lines—yea, lines as
black as unstarred night, be drawn,
and with a power nervous with indigna
tion, around all the record? and the
bastard official existense of these frag
mentary conclaves of Republicanism;
“libellers" and all will be declared to
constitute no part of authorized Amer
ican law, or of legitimate American
will.
Time Was! ah, yes, the time was,
when to say to an American citizen a
proposed measure was not authorized
by the Constitution, was enough. It
Was rejected. And has the final pewer,
or that power which, in republics, is
worse and mightier and more to be
avoided than war—which is the father
of wars—Which begot our War, and
which seems determined with an adul
terous mania to mutiply it3 helt-visaged
brood—the corruption of party man
ipulators—‘Wrought so great a change?
And has the time already come when
Americans—even Southern Americans
—can entertain, as a question, whether
they will accept, and by that acceptance
make valid, a proposition which is not
authorized by the Consiitution ; which
is contrary* to the Constitution;' which
destroys the Constitution; which mocks
the very principles which made, which
gave soul to the Constitution; and
which.tramples thus on the Constitu
tion in order to destroy existing South
ern State governments founded in the
consent of the people, and to form oth
ers not founded in the consent of the
people.; and which, in forming, these
new governments, disfranchises exist
ing electors distinguished for intelli
gence, ahd enfranchises new- electors
notorious for ignorance; and while the
new governments, so formed, are not to
suit either new or old, learned or'ignor
ant, black or white e'ectors, who are to
live under them—but mast shit, men
Who have never lived in these Statea,
Who never expect to live in these States,
and who forget their own oaths and
the interests of their own people to in
dulge the hatred by which they oppress
the people of these Southern States?
Afid have we some of these same par
ty manipulators, Who were born under
our skies. Who have been trusted by otlr
people, who boast of their honors, who
now advise and try, coax, and labor to
persuade, and by turns threaten, de-
ceive.Jand slander, to compel us to ac
cept this iniquity ?
Oh, depths of infamy! Open, open,
far deeper depths for the dwelling of
those cunning monsters of treachery,
that they shame not with their pre-
sence the lowest of the damned spirits
which now inhabit your labyrinths 1
