tion, was secured one representative in that
branch. Each State was given the right, and
he same right, to participate in the election of
President and Vice President, and al alike were
secured the benefit of the judicial department.
The Constitution, too, was submitted to the peo
ple of each State, separately, and adopted by
them in that capacity. The Convention which
framed it considered, as they were bound to do,
each as a supreme sovereign, that could not be
subjected to the Constitution except by its own
consent. That consent was consequently asked
The equality, therefore, of rights was the con
dition of the 'original thirteen Stales before the
Government was formed, and such equality was
not onlv not interfered with, but guaranteed to
them, its well in regard to the powers conferred
upon the General Government ns to those reserved
to tiie States or to the people of tltc States. The
same equality is secured to those which have
been admitted into Ihc Union since the Constitu
tion was udopted. In each iustaneo the State
admitted hits been " declared to tie one of the
United States, ou an equal footing witli the orig
inal Slates in all respects whatever." The Con

therefore, of every Slate owes the same allegi-
nice to the general government, und is entitled
to the same protection. The obligation ot this
allegiance It is not within the legal power of his
State to annul or evade. It is made paramount
ami perpetual, and for that very reason it is
equally the paramount duty of the general gov
ernment to allow to the citizens of each Statu'
the rights secured to them, nod the protection
necessary to their full enjoyment. A citizen can
no doubt forfeit such rights by committing a

Tho idea tlmt lho war power, ns such, Ims beert
used, or could have 'Iton-usdi!, to extinguish tho
rebellion Is, in the Judgmcnt'or the tlndcislgffcj,
utterly without foundation. That power wiis

end would have been used, lint so far from this
having been done, ip the same section that con
fers It tin express provision'Is inserted, to .rnept
tho exigency of a domestic strife or Insurrection.
Whether fri tho progress of the effort to suppress
art Insurrection, tho rights incident to war us bc-
tweou the United States autl foreign nations may
not nriso, is a question which lit no way choughs
tho character of the contest us between the gov
ernment arid (he Insurrection. Tho cxerciso of
such rights ni.iy lie found convenient, or become
necessary to the suppression oftlio rebellion, but
tho character of tho'chrifllct lft in no wny chong-

at first,' and must, from its vory nature, duriug
its continuanto, remain a more contest in which
tho government seeks, aptl enn only seek, to put
ap end to the rebellion. That nchloved, the
original condition of things Is n( onco : restored.
T wo judidnl decisions . havo been made by
judges'of cmlncfit nblllty and unquestioned loy-
nlty, which hilly sustain our view. In ono, that
of tltc Amy Wnrbick, -before tliw United States
rights which it was conceded belonged to the
government during the rebellion, in giving It
wlton suppressed, the rights of conquest declar-
liMbrtn suhtioia that t Ihl 'iJv6rt?mfcfA

bolllon is suppressed -it will have tho rights of

may b6 permanently 'divested of itll ftolitfcal ad
vantages and, treated as foreign territory con-
ucrcd by arms. This is an error, u grave
mlted -sovereign Tights; but no nation over
makes such a conquest of its own territory, If
a liostlloPowcr, however, trom Without dr wjlli-
In, takes and holds possession and dominion over
any portion of its, territory, and tho nation by
force of arms expels or overthrows the .enemy
nml suppresses hostilities, it acquires no new
title, and merely regains possession of that of
which it has been temporarily deprived, Tito
nation acquires no new. sovereignty, hut simply
maintains Its previous rights: When the United
States bikes possession of n'tobcl district they
merely vindicate their pre-existing title. Under
despotic governments tho' confiscation may Ite

James Egan, to be discharged from ah imprison

of the attain,-where aueu toriuiti
mlenily passed, is umilu a part of (lie pun
meat. But a State cannot, in its corporate cn-
pneity, lie made liable to sucli a torloliure; for a
State", as such, under the Constitution, ciumot
commit or be imlictcd for a crime. No legal
proceedings, civil nr criiuinnl, can Ite instituted
to deprive a State of the benefits of tltc Consti
tution, bv forfeiting nsngninSt Iter any of the
rigltU it secured to her. Her citizens, be they
few nr many, may be proceeded against under
the law and convicted; but the State remnitui a
Stale of the Union. To concede that by the Il
legal conduct of tier own citizens she can be
withdrawn from the Union, is virtually to con
cede the rigid of secession; for what difference
does it make, as regards tltc result, whether a
State can rightfully secede (a doctrine maintain
ed bv statesmen North as well ns South) or
whether by the illegal conduct of her citizens
she ceases to Ite a Stale of the Union. In either
case the end is the same; tlm only difference Is
that by the one theory she cciutcs Ity law to bo a
Slate of the Union, und by the oilier by crime,
without and against law. Hut the doctrine is
wholly erroneous. A Stale once, in the Uniou,
must abide in it forever. She can never with
draw from nr lie expelled from it. A UiHcrent
principle would subject the Union to dissolution
at any moment, it is, therefore, alike |tcrilous
and unsound. Nor do we see tlmt it litis any
support in the measures recommended by the
majority of the committee. Tito insurrectionary
Suites are by these measures conceded to lie
States of tltc Union. The proposed constitutional
amendment Is to Ite submitted to them ns well
as the oilier Buttes. In those respects cocli Is
placed on the same ground. To consult n State
not in the Union on the propriety of adopting a
constitutional amendment to tha government of
the Union, und which is necessarily to ailed
those States only comprising Ute Union, would
tie an absurdity; and to allow such nn amend
ment, as States in the Union might desire, to be
defeated by the votes of 8tatcs not in the Union,
would lie nliko nonsensical and unjust.
The very measure, therefore, of submitting to
all the States forming the Union before the Insur
rection a constitutional amendment makes the
Inquiry whether all at this timo are In or out of
Ute Union a vital ono. If they nre not, all should
not be consulted. It they tire, they should be,
and should lie uuly because lltuy are.. Tito very
fact, therefore, of sudt a submission concedes
that the Southern States are and never reused to

led by

tinder niurtinl law .constUufcd- the only rule of
action,) for tltc sitecial purpose of changing Ute
existing stole of tilings nud restoring clvjt gov
ernment over tho people. In operation, of tills
appointment a new Constitution wor formed, a
Governor and Legislature elected under it, and
tlte Stale placed in the full enfoyment or entitled
to tlte full enjoymspt of all Iter constitutional
rights and privileges. Ti.o constitutional laws
of thu Union were thereby enjoyed nml obeyed,
nnd wore ns binding and authoritative over tlte
pcoplo nr tlte State us in any other portion oftlio
country. Indeed, tlte moment the rebellion was
suppressed and foe government growing out of
it subverted, the ancient laws resumed' tlieir ac
customed sway, subject only to tho now reorgan
ization by tlte appointment of tho appropriate of
ficer to givo them operation nnd effect. Tltis re
organization nnd appointment of public ftinc-
tionnrlcs, which was tinder tlte superintendence
and direction of tltc President, ns commander-
in-chief of Ute army and navy of tlte country,
nnd who, os such, lmd previously governed -the
Suite from imperative necessity Ity the forco of
martial law, lmd already taken pinco, nnd tho np-
cessttv no longer existed."
Tltis opinion Is foe. more authoritative titan It
might otherwise possibly be esteemed from its
being the tint elnlxtrnlc statement of tho reasons
whlcl) governed tho majority of tl|« Supreme
Court at foe Inst term in their judgment of the
case of Milligan and others, for tho division tlmt
military commissions for tlte trial of civilians nre
not constitutional. We submit (lint nothing can
be more conclusive in favor of the doctrine for
whicb they are cited than these judgments. In
tlte one tho proposition of conquest of a Stale
under a war lo suppress nn insurrection is not
only repudiated by Judge Sprague, but because
of the nature of our government it is considered
to be legally impossible. “The right of sover
eignty over auy portion of a State” will, lie tolls
us, "only be tlte same after the war as it was lie-
fore." In tho oilier we are told tlmt "the sup
pression of the rebellion" restores tho rights of
tho Slate, aud tlmt when her government is re
organized site is at once in tlte lull enjoyment or
entitled to tlte full enjoymont of all her constitu
tional rights and privileges.
Again, n contrary doctrine is Inconsistent with
the obligation which Ute government.Is under to
eacii citizen ot a State. Protection to each is
part ot Hint obligation; protection not only ns
against a foreign, but a domestic foe. To bold
tlmt it is iu Ute power ot any part of tho |tcoplo
of a State, whether they constitute a majority or
a minority, ity engaging in insurrection nml
adopting auy measure in Its prosecution to make
citizens who are not engaged ill II, but nro op
posed lo it, enemies of the United Stales, Itnving
no right to tlte protection which Ute constitution
affords to citizens wlm are true to tlieir allegi
ance, Is ns illegal ns it Is flagrantly unjiist., Du

monlonsnesa throughout the entire scale. Their
TOUCH
la pliant and elastic, and t* entirely free from the stillness
found In so many Pianos, which cause* the performer to
so easily tire. In
WORKMANSHIP
they cannot be excelled. Their action It conetrncled
with a care and attention to every itert therein that char-
actcritcea the dnest mechanism. None bnt the beet sea

wUl accept the bard aaagee of the concert-room with
that of the parlor upon an equallly—unaffected In their
