vtbr jlrtss. City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST Cm CIRCILATION AUOUBTA. OA. THURSDAY MORNING May SO. I**7 The Dominion of Canada- Queen Victoria ha* !■»««• » •’ roc **' nation declaring the union of the British Provinces, into a government to be known as the Dominion of Canada. It includes Upper "*d Lower Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick- According to the bill authorising this confederation, the Senators who will constitute the upper house in the new Parliament, are to be appointed by the Queen; and the cable dispatches an nounce that a list of those appointed ac companies the royal proclamation. The new Confederation is popular, and it is not improbable that the remaining British provinces in North America will sooner or later, seek to enter the same alliance. The union has evidently beeu entered into voluntarily, as no remon strance, or even advice, has been offered to those provinces who choose to remaiu under their old forms of government. Apart from any fancied military security which this confederation affords, there will be unquestionable commer cial advantages to the whole country, while, as a government, that of the Dominion of Canada will necessarily be of more importance than that of any colony or province has hitherto been- The revenue ot Canada some years ago was $4,-129.152; expenditures, £4,709,300; public debt, $51,517,180. Since that period the liabilities have somewhat increased. New Brunswick has revenue of $375,000, and expends $550,000, the treasury of Great Britain making up the deficiency. Nova Sco tia raises a revenue of about $700,000, and dispenses a larger amount. The British Exchequer pays the excess. Newfoundland has a public debt ex ceeding $600,000. Prince Edward's Island expends about $70,000 a year, which is amply supplied by revenues. The territory included to the new State has an area of about 400,000 square miles—Canada having about 320,000; New Brunswick 27,620; Nova Scotia, 15,607; Cape Breton, 3,120; Newfoundland about 36,000, and Prince Edward’s Island, 2,134. The New York Sun says the present population of Upper Canada is 1,802,- 000; of Lower Canada, 1,288,000; of New Brunswick, 295,084; and of Nova Scotia. 368,781, making the total num ber of inhabitants in the Dominion of Canada, 3,753,865. The only provinces on the eastern portion of the continent, not included in the confederation, are Prince Edwards Island, with a popula tion of 91,000, and Newfoundland, with a population of 130,000. The aggregate population of the five British American Provinces above mentioned is 3,976,244. Only nine per cent, of this number is Irish by birth, but it is estimated officially, that about one million are of Irish descent. The statements of religious belief show that more than forty four per cent of the entire popula tion profess the Roman Catholic religion, while only fifteen per cent belong to the Church of England. It may be set down in general terms that the people of the western portion of the new Dominion are, tor the most part, occupied in agricultural pursuits, those of the middle portion chiefly in the lumbering trade, and those of the eastern part in fisheries and shipping. Manufacturing is a branch of industry that has of late assumed a considerable importance in the cities, while mining operations have more recently engaged a large share of attention and capital. The Dominion of Canada begins its career under highly auspicious circum. stances. With extensive mineral regions to explore, with agricultural resources limited only by the energy of the people, and with much political freedom, there •ri*" 5 ~ —a —~ --v national greatness and prosperity, so long as they keep at peace among themselves and on good terms with their neighbors. Letter From Hon. Ellison S. Keitt. The Columbia Phoenix contains a letter from this well known gentleman, in response to a request signed by “ many of his constituents." for his views on the political situation, from which we extract the following, it embraces some striking views in refer ence to the doctrine of State sove reignty, which appear to us logical and conclusive : The bills recently enacted by the Congress of the United States for the reconstruction and reorganization of our State Government, by reducing South Carolina to the position of a conquered province fully justifies the theory of the government which we have ever upheld and maintained, to wit: that sovereignty resides in the people of all the States aggravated individually in an entirety. A sovereign State in the Union cannot be reduced to the position of a conquered province and be in the Union, tsouth Carolina, a sovereign State, is reduced to the position of a conquered province. She cannot, therefore, be in ibe Union. A sovereign State in the Union cannot get out of it, except by her own volun tary exercise of sovereignty. South Carolina was a sovereign State in the Union, and is now out of it. Site, therefore, got out of it only by her own voluntary exercise of sovereignty. For a State to exercise sovereignty, sove reignty must reside in her. South Carolina, in getting out of the Union, < x-rcised sovereignty; therefore sove reignty must reside in her. Wherever sovereignty resides there alone the allegiance of the citizen is due. Sove reignty resided in South Carolina; therefore the allegi.nce of her citizens was due alone to her. The conclusion i.i iirosistable, that the bills recently enacted by the Congmta of the United States for the reconstruction and reor ganisation of our State Government by reducing South Carolina to the position of a conquered province, expunges from the statute books of our couutry and the history ot our times every trace of a charge of treason and perjury against the heroic and gallant dead end living who fought for the independence of their State and self-government; and it should be a source of siucere congratulation among the friends ot civil freedom and constitutional liberty that the government, by the release from prison of Mr. Davis, has shown a will to carry them to their legitimate conclusion, and has not let the escutch eon of this great republic go down to posteritv stained with the charge that she denied a trial and kept in prison until he languished and died a noble citisen, because he obeyed the laws of his Mate and imperilled his life and fortune tor her independence and self government. The first one of the bills begins by affirming that “no legal State Gov ernment exists in South Carolina; that is to say. South Carolina politically is dead, but geographically she still lives —the word State being two lold in its signification. The bills then give in detail the modus < perandi by which political life may be infused into her inanimate form, and she may be raised to her fbrmer position of an independ ent sovereign State in the galaxy of Slates that compose the Union. Wheth er or not all the provisions of the bills are as wise and just as a brave and gallant people might have expected from a magnanimous foe and an enlight eued statesmanship, is not for us to pause and discuss, but for history to tell, and upon which coming genera tions will pass sentence, for it is not alone upon ns that they are to make their impress, but upon generations yet unborn. To accept the bills is an im possibility, for to accept implies the right to reject, and as a vanquished people, held down at the point of the bavonet and edge of the sword, we have no right or power to reject: therefore we cannot accept. The only thing left us is to bow courteously to our fate—to submit to and carry out the terms strictly and to the letter. .Just as certain as sovereignty resides in the people of the several States, and South Carolina, by the interposition of her sovereignty, withdrew from the Federal Uuion, just so certain do the Slates that remained in the Union con stituie the Union, and the Government is theirs, and they have a right to im pose upon those that withdrew terms of re-admission. Had the States that se ce-eded and withdrew from the Federal Union succeeded in establishing the new Union and Government for which they fought, they would have been known among the powers of the earth as the Confederate States, and the States that remained in the Union would have constituted the Union, and they would have beeu known as the United States. “ The ratification of the conventions of nine States shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution be tween the States so ratifying the same.’’ (Art. 11, Sec. 2, Con. U. S.) The act of ratifying, then, created the word Union, and the people severally of nine States was sufficient to do it. There was originally thirteen independent sovereign States, and as the Constitu tion declares that the ratification of the conventions of nine only cf them was sufficient to establish it between tbe States ratifying, if the conventions of only nine of the States had ratified it, it would have been the Constitution be tween the States ratifying, and the Union would have been created. The other four States, if they desired, could have formed a different government or governments, as each one acted volun tarily and for itself, in its independent sovereign character. Whatever is suf ficient to create is sufficient to preserve. Niue States alone was sufficient to create the Union. Nine States alone, therefore, is sufficient to preserve it,and it can never be dissolved except by the voluntary suggestion and withdrawal, in their independent, sovereign character, of a sufficient number of States, and the establishment of the position they assume, so as to reduce the number of States that remain in the Union below nine—the minimum number sufficient to create and preserve the Union. The penalty of the interposition ot State sovereignly and withdrawal from the Federal Union, and the failure to estab lish the position assumed, is to be crushed politically, afid remoulded arid readmitted into the Union upon the terms of those States that remain in and constitute the Uuiou. This is the ordeal through which we are now passing. Just as certain as our is a Federal and not a National Government—that sov ereignty resides in the people of the several States, and not in the people ol all the States aggregated individually in an entirety, and that South Carolina, by her ordeal of secession, withdrew from the Federal Union, just so certain was ours a war for independence and self government, and not an insurrec tion or rebellion against lawful authority. Ours being a Government in which the will of the people can be known through their representatives alone, just after the surrender, when the President imposed certain terms, we, supposing them to be the final will and determi nation of those against whom we fought as he was their representative and not ours, having been elected to his high position by their suffrages and not by ours, carried them out in good faith and to the letter. In this we have been mis led and disappointed. The terms that come to us now, however, come from the people of the several State? that con stitute the Union through their imme diate representatives, and there can be no mistake- Let us take them in good faith as their final will and determina lion, and let U3 carry them out strictly and to the letter. Let us not stand and gaze listlessly at the wrecks and ruins by which we are surrounded, hut let each and all go to work manfully and courageously, and uuild up the broken and shattered fortunes of our country, and, if possible, make Carolina more resplendent in the future than she ever was in the past. Away with all feuds and bickerings among our people. Let everv one who is allowed to vote register and when the time cotnes, let him vote. Let each and all who are dented a vote unite their influence with those who are allowed to vote, and put in office the best men we can get, and let us estab lish the best government possible, for it will be the government under which we will have to live. Let us act so as lo ameliorate, as much as pessible, the condition of both races and all classes in the community, and, if possible, advance the civilization of our age. fihould the clock of time be rolled back, let not the future historian lay it at our door, anti record that we did it. Should the opposite counsel prevail, and wild commotion be added to our already disordered Slate, anarchy may ensue. Should this awful and dire calamity be in store for us and befall our country, nothing, no, nothing, could be more fatal to civil freedom aud constitutional liberty. The Government of tbe United Bfates is now our Government. We have no other. Tbe United States flag is now our flag. We have no other. Let us maintain and support the one and assist in bearing aloft the other, until tbe reveille drums of tue Erinciples of this great republic are card by a prosperous and happy people in every part of this beautiful earth which we inhabit, and her high mission upon this earth is accomplished, for she is the highest type and most perfect system of government ever devised by human genius and intellect. While I would pause for a moment and drop tenrs upon the graves of the heroic and gallant dead who fought, and fell, and bled, and died upon the ensan guined plain ol tbeir country, whose noble sa< rifices will descend to the last syllable ol recorded time, and be sung around the graves ot the last genera tion of man, whose hallowed spirits have ascended to high Heaven, where, with wide open gates, their many souls have been received, and they now hold “ sweet converse” with angels around the throne of the Eternal, yet I would shake off the habiliments of the past, and move out into the future with a firm and steady tread, for it is for the living that we are to legislate, and not for the dead.
