As Important Lot ter.
A great deal ha* been written and
■aid aboat the taler written by Hun.
O. 11. Browning. Sccretaiy of the Inte
rior, to eotne of hit former constituents
in Illinois ; and no little importance is
attached to it, because of the declaration
that it was first subiuitte 1 to the Presi
dent, and received bis approval, and
that he desired its publication.
The fA|*er opens with a consideration
of the tendencies to danger iu poblic
affairs, chiefly from the centralization
of power in the General Government
and the absorption of many of the
powers and prerogatives of the Execu
tive and Judiciary by the legislative de
partment. The argument upon these
premises is clear and forcible, end
chiefly directed against the tendencies
of the proposed Constitutional Amend
ment, the writer concluding that “it is
impossible to maintain our wise and
happy form of Government without pre
serving the independence and sover
eignty of the States within their appro
priate and constitutional spheres
u The States,” he says, “ may exist
and perform all their Junctions without
the Union or the Federal Government,
'ihe l nion and the Federal Government
cannot exist without the States, and
they must b§ States of equality—equal
in rights, equal iu power, equal in the
controll absolute and unconditional, of
all things pertaining to their internal
snd local policy and interests. Another
blow which the proposed amendment
aims st the government which our
fathers founded, is iu the change of the
basis ot representation. This would be
of very pernicious effect. Aggregate
population is the true basis of represent
ation. No matter how the elective fran
chise be disposed of, whether exercised
by few or many, all classes of the com
munity are represented. The interests
of all classes of people in the same com
munity are so interwoven and commin
gled that they cannot be separated, and
whoever yields to the representative
power mast do it for the good or ill of
all, perhaps not precisely in the same
degree, but he cannot use it so as large
ly to benefit o[ie class without to'some
extent benefiting all, or to injure and
oppress one class w ithout to & greater or
less extent injuring and oppressing all.
There are always, even in this country,
where the right of suffrage is most wide
ly extended, large uumbers who do not
"Vote at all, whose interests, nevertheless,
are cared for, and whose numbers,
being computed iu the appointment
of representation, widen tha founda
tions of the representative assemblies.
Such are all persons under twenty-one
years of age, females of all ages, and un
naturalized foreigners. Why are they
not permitted to vote ? And. not being
permitted, why they are counted in fixing
the ratio of representation ? They are
not allowed to vote because they are not
supposed to be sufficiently instructed in
political economy and governmental
affairs to by entrusted with the elective
franchise. They are computed.iu fixing
. the ratio, because they are part of the
same community with those who do
vote, having interests in common with
them, and their influence ought to be
felt in shaping the laws by which their
rights of life, liberty and property are to
be determined ; and although they do
not vote, their influence is felt and their
interests are cared tor. precisely because
they are counted in fixing the relative
weight of the communities to which they
belong in the legislative assemblies, al
though therr voices are not directly
heard in determining who shall represent
them.”
The letter concludes with tin elaborate
defense of Mr. J in . .ou'g policy for res
toration of t«e Union, showing that in
principle it is the same as that of Mr.
Lincoln, which the Radicals attempted
if, overrun at their Cleveland Conven
tion. called alter Mr. Lincoln's renomi
nation tD the Presidency, and which the
people triumphantly vindicated in his re
el Ction as President, and Mr. Johnson as
Vice President.
The doctrine of State sovereignty,
which it enunciates, is correct. It is in
full accordance with the spirit of Re
publicanism, and opght,.by alf means,
to be vindicated and defended in this
country. But it is an exploded doc
trine. The war uprooted it, and it
exists now only in the letters of Mr.
Browning, the speeches of the Presi
dent, and the tirades of the Radical
press and Radical orators.
If, however, the President continues
firm in his position, and refuses to com- -
promise with his opponents, a degree of
State sovereignty may yet be Secured to
console, in a measure, at least, our peo
ple for the loss of State Rights and Con
stitutional Rights. But will he continue
firm ? That is the question. We cer
tainly hope so. Mr. Browuing's letter
' gives some reason for such a hope.
But our own opinion is that there will,
eventually, be a compromise between
him and Congress; that the Constitu
tional Amendment will be modified,
and the South be required to adopt it.
It is very improbable that there will be
a war on the strength of political differ
ences between the President and Con
gress. The Radical party has no desire
to fight, and when they find that the
President does not urge the adoption of
the Constitutional Amendment in its
present shape by the South, they will
change their tack, and modify it so as
to meet the President’s views half way,
at least. This will probably settle the
difficulty, and reconstruct the Union.
A common-sense writer ot the South
says “ we can uo longer afford to buy
with ready money every lucifer match,
pail, axe, shoe peg, saddle, wagon, hat
and everything else we need from the
North. That’s it, make such things,
and if you display half the genius and
industry you exhibited during the war
in the manufacture of jww.ler and other
war material, you will be reconstructed
in spite of politicians.’’—A r . I”. Sun.
The Huger of Revolution.
Some of our people entertain the opto*
ion that revolution and elril war
are imminent in this country; that tha
President will firm in lu| policy,
and that OongresSwill stand film in St*
policy—-a mutual firmness which will
result in a collision of the opposing au
thorities— and a collision in which the
advocates of the respective contestants
will necessarily lakepait. Possibly such
a thing may occur, aud a bran-new
war may loom up all of a sudden, and
Congress may attempt to impeach the
President, aud ho tftay assume the
Dictatorship, and a grand display qt
gunpowder, bombshells, and quartet*'
master's stores may result. But IT is
hardly likely. The American people
have had enough of war, and are not
anxious to get up another. At least, we
don’t think they are. If, however, we
are mistaken in this respect, and they
should get up a shindy, Andy shall have
our best wishes for hisauccess, snd will,
no doubt, find friends enough in the
Union to sustain him. But we repeat
it; there will be ns fighting— no war.
And the following from the Louisville
(Ky.) Courier shows why. It is the
most sensible article that we have seen
on this subject, and in a few words ex
plains how the whole difficulty wUI be
settled:
What Can tub President Do?—
The question is often nsked, “What can
the President do?” While there ap
pears to be an anxious desire that no
should by some means press forward
tbo work of restoring the Union, the
great mass ot the people are at a loss to
understaud how he is to go about it.
Some imagiue that he will raise an is
sue with Congress as to its legality, and
refuse to recognise it as a constitutional
body so long ns ten States are excluded
from representation. Others think that
be will cull up the Southern members
elect to take their seats, and attempt to
sustain them in their positions with all
the force of his authority. Others be
lieve that ho will cease his active oppo
sition to the policy of Congress, and
with a simple protest against the policy
relieve himself from all responsibility
for whatever may occur.
Iu his last annual message to Con
gress the President informed that body
that he had discharged his duty to
ward sM he South in re organizing their
Slate governments and setting their
machinery iu operation, and that it only
remained for each House of Congress to
judge of the qualifications of the mem
bers elect, and admit them to their seats,
r»nd that then the restoration of the
Union would be complete.*
Congress saw proper to revise Ihe
preliminary steps adopted by the Presi-.
dent, and instead of merely judging of
the qualifications of the raemsera elect,
and admitting or rejecting them, an in
vestigation into the political status of
the States was instituted, and the con
clusion reached that the States must
accept dther conditions before they
could be 'considered worthy to be admit
ted to the Union,
Under this state of tilings, it is diffi
cult to see what more the President can
do than he has already done. His
duties are in the main purely executive.
He can, it is true, exclude from office
the supporters of the Congressional
policy, and fill every position in the
Government with bis own triends. Ho
can veto every measure passed by Con
gress, but Congress, with its two-thirds
majority in each House, can pass them
over his head, and then it becomes his
duty to execute them. And aside, from
his control ot the patronage of the Gov
ernment, we can see no barrier tlmt he
ean interpose between the legislation of
Congress and the people. It is true
that he might, as many appear to think
he will, refuse to recognize Congress as
a loyal body, and with the power placed
in his hands as Commander-itnChief ot
the Army and Navy, disperse the Con
gress as Cromwell did the Parliament,
and as IN ap< Jeon did the French Assem
bly, and prMi- iJ| t the meeting of an
other Congress until every at Me is rep
resented ; but this would be re - lution,
and would inevitably light the It . in 1 s os
civil war. It would be an exercise ot
power merely which would have to bo
sustained by physical force, or it would
fail, and he and those who sto id by
Him would be involved in a common
ruin.
We have no idea that the President
contemplates any such movement. For,
while he cou and rally to his support.hun
dreds of thousands of brave men williii"
to stake their lives upon the issue, whose
strong arms and unyielding valor would
perhaps secure bis triumph, we cannot
believe that he contemplates any such
enterprise, or that he has any desire to
svf) the nation involved in another war.
It is much more likely that ho will
remain passive, and tolerate what he
cannot Constitutionally prevent; that
he will execute such laws as Congress
may pass over Jiis head, and give his
countenance and support to whatever
measures maybe calculated to ha, mo
nize th<s country' aud conciliate the
people.
There will not be anything inconsis
tent in such a policy on his part. He is
the best I ' judge of his own strength and
of the ground on which he stands, as
well as of his duty. Whatever he be
lieves to be right and proper he will do
provided lie has the ability to do it•
blit he may find himself in the condi
tion of the South, and be compelled to
submit to a policy which neither bis
conscience nor his judgment can ap
prove.

1 waa glad to notic* the many im
provements that have taken place, and
are still progressing, in this city. Many
k Df the stores have been completely
renovated ; to some, handsome iron
fronts have been added, and spvend
new buildings Have been erected. Tha
stock of dry goods on hand is larger thau
ever before known iu this market, and
has been very tastefully selected ; trade
appears to be very heavy iu this depart
ment, and alsu.iu groceries, but especi
ally in the former. Cotton is brought iu
quite freely by wagons, but it is too
yearly yet to judge of the crop, although
'it is generally believed that one-third of
the,average quantity will be received at
this point
Augusta Street Railway Compa
ny bks been organized, and the city has
granted them very Hberulvtcrms. The
stock is being rapidly taken, and I un
derstand operations will Boon be com
menced. v*
A movement is on foot amongst the
“Disciples of Thespis” in this, city, to
form an j association for the 1 purpose of
erecting itn Opera House; but they ap
pear to lack the zeal and determination
which clfaraeteriees the energetic men
who are shouldering the gigantic under
takings, of your seventy-five -thousand
dollar edifice, ahd 1 fear your citizens
will be enjoying the glory of the drama,
uudor the management of the indomita
ble Flynn, ere our people have persua
ded themselves that such an establish
ment would be a benefit to their city.
To-night I attended a lecture deliv
ered by S. Dutclier, Esq., recently of
the Constitutionalist ; a very respecta
table anil intellectual audience was in
attendance. His subject was “The
Wits of Georgia,” and it proved a very
happy effort on the part of the learned
gentleman, and was highly appre
ciated by his attentive and admiring
listeners.
I have met and received favors at the
hands of ray old friends, Atkinson aud
Johnston, of the Chronicle tfc- Sentinel,
Stockton,-of the Constiiuiionulist, and
Pughe and Blome,. of the Daily Press.
Iu the name of the Era, allow me to
thank these gentlemen ior their' kind
ness shown toward your correspondent.
Beautiful.. —The finest thing Bishop
Heber ever wrote was this inimitable
passage: ’ “It cannot be the earth is
man's only abiding place. It cannot be
that our life is a bubble.cast up by the
ocean of eternity to float a moment
upon its waves, and sink into nothing
ness. Else why is it, the high and
glorious aspirations, which leap, like
angels from the temple of oOr hearts,
are forever wandering unsatisfied? Why
is it that the rainbow and cloud come
over us, with a beauty that is not of
earth, and then pass off to leave us to
muse on their loveliness? Why is it
that the stars which ‘hoi l -their festival
around the midnight throne,’ are set
above the grasp of our limited faculties;
for ever mocking us with their unap
proachable glory ? And finally, why is
it that bright forms of human beauty are
presented to our view and taken from
us ; leaving the thousand streams of
our affections to flow back in an Alpine
torrent upon our hearts? We arc horn
for a higher destiny than that of earth.
There is a realm where the rainbow
never fades; where the stars will ho
spread out before us like the Islands
that slumber on the ocean, and where
the beautiful beings which pass before
us like shadows, will Stay for ever in our
presence."
