Saturday lfannao. Bnrmnxn 16. I I | t .. OBr leaders to-day a "Critical Notice” of this publication, by Hon. Charles Beemelin, taken from the Cin cinnati Commoner, of the 9th insL, in which it appeared The beat eridenoe of our full appreciation of tSe closing re marks of Hr. Beemelin in his review of the pamphlet is our rqplpduetion of his entire ^MWM»#i.tftthe two points eu which | he dMala opinion from the views pre sented in the pamphlet, we think it pro per to submit a few remarks: First: He objdkts to the eiastidca tion of law as given in the pamphlet This general classification is into Muni cipal, Federal and Tntsrnatimul Law. The objection of Hr. Beemelin to this classification seems to he founded entire ly upon the grounds that it is new, and not in oonformity to wbat are considered standard authorities on the subject Vattel, for instance, as well as Grot*fend, Heftier, and Klueber (later German writ ers) he says, considered Federal Laic, in tMr afassttcation, ass branch of Inter national Lav. In reply to this, wo have only to say that Vattel, and the writers to whom he refers, did not mean by Fed eral Ism,tM is meant by it, and what it is dtftUtfioDO in the pamphlet. The truth is, nothing of the character of Fed eral Law, as defined in tbo pamphlet ex isted when Vattel wrote. This neic fea ture in Government therefore, and new kind qf lair, (springing from it) re- quaped a name and a classification not bo- fore known in political or legal nomen clature. This was the neu> feature presented iu the American Federal Union — (of author itihg, in the Constitution, the Fetleral Government to cxerciso direct leg islative powers on specified subjects, over tho civil conduct of the citizens of the several Stetoa composing the Union) —which so excited the admirntion of DcTocqnoville, and for which he said there was no proper name. It was this new feature which also so exoited the ml- miration of Lord Brougham. Now, the definition of Federal Law in the pamplilot, does not refer to the compact of Union l>ctween the States, to which Vattel refers, and which is very truly within the purview of the Law of Nations, as he states, but to those leyitlatiee acts qf the Federal law-making jioirer, which regulate, to a limiteil extent, the civil conduct qf the cilitcnt qf the eeteral State*. This woe feature in the American systom is what DeTooqueville said required a neir tiame, and, of course, a new classification. This new name and neic ctassifi.cation is wbat is given to it, iu the pamphlet While it was not expected that this ad- vanoe step in political or legal nomencla ture would pass without criticism (as no snch advance step ever docs in uny De partment of Knowledge), yet, wo must confess, that more apprehension wus felt from objections, on the grounds that Federal Law, as dafinod in the pam phlet, should bo considered as a branch of the Municipal laws of the several States, than from the objection of Mr. Beemelin, that it should be considered os a branch -of International law. We feel well assured, however, that tho more the subject is discussed and studied, the abre general^ .will it bp seen ami nokttbtrledgef thtiriho definition find eladsiAeathtn "in vhfi pamphlet, though both neic, are both right Hr. Bsemelin is in a slight error in stating that the pamphlet attributes to Lord Brougham, the assertion that "our wonderful system" "is mainly dne to the genius of Thomas Jefferson." That is the statement of Uia author of the pnmphlgt hiiCff. fie onttfiive idea at the whtlr ajaU oJUfrXm 7 the brai/of Mr. Jef ferson, and was first embodied in "lan gaaged thought,” (so far as the author of Uia paiapWet has been able to dieooeer, alter a very thorough examination of the regy4riijg.M»»>Ust to Mr. Madison. » written at Faria, 16tl» December, 1786, * wherein , be aketched the plan of malting Urn m to foreign concern*, H and beeping thorn “distinct in domett ic one*,'' with n division and classification of the delegated Federal Powers, into Legisla tive, executive and Judicial Dcjuirtment*. fte aeoond objection of Hr.

We have not seen the issue of the Savannah Republican from which the Chronicle gad Sentinel mode the extract But Why either of our oo temporaries referred to should reproduce these few disconnected words from “a recent" Edi torial of Hr. Stephens in The Sun, with the accompanying comments made upon i, is a matter of some surprise to us. The object wc do not understand; but we have no hesitancy in saying, Hint these words, if reproduced at all, should have been given in their proper connection, if Ike purpose was to represent Hr. Ste phens fairly, either as to what he lias been making "a hard fight' for, or his position in that “fight" from the beginning to tho present time. From the comments made, the purpose seems to be to impress the pnblio mind with tlie idea tliat Hr. Stephens, in “arecenl” Edito rial, has modified, to Bomo extent, at least, the position at first taken and heretofore maintained by him. If that realty was the object, we have only to reproduce these words with thoir abutext, in the "recent Editorial" alluded to, and compare them with tho words used by Mr. Stephens in his 'fiiwt Editorial on taking charge of tho political columns of The Sun. Tho words in the “recent" Editorial otauds thus t “fraudulent amendment*" w* existing faett, while the administration of tha Government la in tho hand* of thoae who are clothed with power to enforce thorn i hut who do not endorse them wm finals tin. Wo hail wm friend* all thoae who acquiesce in them an tie facto, but uot Ur jure part* of the organic law. Now wherein does this language vary from tho position assumed by Mr. Ste phens in his Salutatory, of tho 17th June, when he Minted : With regard to tho pant usurpation* and revolu tionary measure* of I'ougre**, finer the restoration of the Union in 1866, by the resumption of their obligation* to the Union under the Constitution, by all tho RtaU'M which had attempted to withdraw from it, and for the prevention of which attempt alone, the war was professed to have been waged against them. Th* Bon willodrlw and ei\foin utrlat obedience to all aett of ('ongren and acts of State leg islature* noth r them, which have the/onur of law, a* expounded by tho Court*, Htate and Federal enforced by tbown la wutbortty, clothed with ]»>* execute them. After atari ug how those usurpations could bo rectified in a peaceful manner, by a resort to tho proper inalrumeulalUlea of tho Constitution, tho Salutatory wont on to say: » people devoted to Constitutional law expect to secure a rectification of admitted iih of jtowpr, by granting, in advaiu general absolution to the perpetrators of them. Now wo submit to our cotemjxiraries, uud to all readers, whether there is any diffcreuco ns to our position iu the mat- tor of acquiescence in, and giving strict obedience to, ntl tho acts of Congress hav ing tho form* of law—even tho “fraudu lent amendments”—bo long n« they, fad, shall bo held to lie law, by those in authority, clothed with power to execute them; between the “recent Editorial” and tho first, or any other ever penned by us? What wo want, in all discussions on these subjects, is fair dealing on tho part of tliodo who may differ with us. But if tho Savannah Republican aud Chronicle and Sentinel really think there is “very little difference” between us and “tho people we are fighting,” then wo say to them, they had better wake up from their slumber, aud learn something more of the momentous issues involved in the controversy, than they now seem to bo aware of. It is the difference between simply obeying and conforming to an nnoonatitntional measure, so long os it is enforced by those clothed with power to oxccutc it, but with a protest against its justice or validity, by one party; and tho acceptance and imbrtemenl of the iniquitous measure, by another, with the declaration that it in all just and right, and should never horoaf ter be questioned or even discussed. Tho “peoplo” we are “fighting” wish the Democratic Party not only to iH*aecahly acquiesce in these Radical usurjmtions, so long os tho present Dynasty is clothed with power to execute them; but to give their solemn sanction to their validity, rightfuluesN and continuance for all time to come. This is a difference which, ttiink, “tho people wo are fighting” look upon as oue of very great importance in view of the objects they are aiming at that is, the centralization of tho Peoples of these States into one Consolidated Empire; and hence tho earnestness with whieh they “fight” us. It is no “twee dledee” and “tweedledum” business, either with them or us, os much as our haH a-aloep ootomporuries of Savannah and Augusta may he disposed so to eon sidcr it A. H. S. M-i Prom th« (Cincinnati) Commoner, Oth Sept., 1871 Critical Notice—Alexander H. Stephens on the Study of the UY C. There are persons whose apparel is bo •Indionsly proper as to attract attention to the slightest spot, and so there are public i»er»oii8 whose onimoua are usu- •Qy no rightful as to make the least de viations from truth conspicuous. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, is 6uch a public man, and his letter to his law students, of which we have a copy before 11% lse piece of writing open to Such a notice. The author aud the pupils addressed are persons of distinction, aud the subieot is of great importance; moreover it is dis cussed with great ability, and if space permitted it, we should spread it before onr leaden. As things stand, we must coniine ourselves to the less agroeable task, that ol pointing out thorn portions that deserve correction in our opinion. The find we will notice is the classifies tion of fate into three branches, viz: mu uicipal, federal and international law. OomiMjaing criminal, commercial and other civil law branches under municipal law, hs u the sanction of Blackstono, and though we think it a defective classifica tion, ret wo shall not animadvert on it, beoauae no sanctioned, anil for the further reason, tliat it does not do much harm. It is otherwise with tho separation of feder al law from international law, for that subdivision deprives the student of the fundamental truth, that federal law if an integral part of tho international law, and it must be studied from that basis. Vattel divides international law into threo kinds—(vide \ 27,) to-wit: volunta ry, conventional and customary, and he saya: “They all proceed from the voli tion of nations, tne voluntary law from their presumed consent; tho congression al law from an e^peets consent; and the customary law from a tacit consent.” lie adds by way of caution tliat he “care fully distinguishes from them the natu ral or necessary law of nations,” and ho /artlic-rmere, Jor further warning, says: “As to tho laws introduced by treatu-s, there is no room to fear that any one will confound them with tho natural law of nations.” Federal law is conventional, or treaty made international law; it ii jus strictum, that is to sry, it requires the express consent of tho Htatcs or no tions. It differs from all other law iu this, that it is not obligatory on any body, unless the express consent of a State or nation can be shown for it In short, using Vattel’s words, “it is not a universal, but a particular law.” Mr. Htet)hen8 loses sight of this dis tinction when he says, after dividing law into the three departments, as already stated: “These several departments of law all emanate from the sumo source, and rest upon the same basis—that of natu ral right.” The law-writers of Germany avoid this mistake. Qroteteud, the latest federal jurist, kujh: “The compacts that create federal law emanate from conventions of indepen dent and mutually free States, and fed eral law appears only as international law—it is a part of the positive inter national law. “Tho sources of federal law must never be assumed to be the principles of general, philosophic (natural) law, nor tho scientific deductions therefrom.” lb titer, also a German federal Jurist, says: “Federal law is pure treaty law; it is not made by a higher legislative au thority; hence it is not to be completed or added to from general principles of civil law, nor to be construed like other laws, hut us international treuties.” Klueber, who wrote a very good book on international law, says: “That general or natural civil law, or legal analogies drawn therefrom, can be federal law, is an oft-repeated error of doctrine.” These extracts, aud their application to tho history of federal politics in this country, will satisfy every one that we must even deny that tho source of federal luw is “natural right.” We may readily admit that universal international law has for its basis natural reuson; and Vattel says so in his terms; for he declares that it is “common to the whole human race,” while federal law applies only to the nations or States ex pressly creating it, by erecting a Federal Union. Our revolutionary Congress declared tho new-born Federal Union subject to the law of nations, and by this, the grandest act of our then newly-United States, they recognized themselves bound, as to all other countries, by tho natural reason of maukind, or if the words of Mr. Ktephens suit better, by tho nuturul right evolved and recorded in the univer- fim law of nations; but wlicu several years thereafter they made the Constitution of tho United States, they made a particu lar international law or treaty, or federal law, by which their conduct between the States of the Union was to bo regulated. Our readers will now seowhy we are so tenacious of tho distinctions presented in the foregoing remarks, and they will also perceive why wc except further to the following passage iuMr. Stephens’ letter: “The government of the United States preseuts tho federal form iu greater per fection, than it was iu any model of the kiud over before exhibited.” The history of our Uniou shows, that this very government had hardly been born, before a schism arose between tho best jurists of tho land, which finally gathered them into two parties, respect ively under tho lead of Adams and Ham ilton, or Jefferson and Madison aud which parties continued oven after amendments had been made, that were meant to cure tho defects, especially Ar ticles ix and x. This schism ended in an inter-Statc war, aud that has now landed us in complete anarchy as to any legitimate construction of our United St.ites Constitution. Nor need wo go far to find the fountain of all the strife! It flowed from the imperfectly understood nature of federal law. The framers of federal government were excellent jurists in municipal (English) law, and they were fomilinr with tho law of na tions, but they did not know, that federal law is particular international law, and must be treated as a special branch of the law ofr nations. This ig norance continued through all our ad ministrations, including specially that of Lincoln. We have liefore us, ns we write, Mr. Stephens’ book on the Constitution of the United States, and also Reimann’s excellent work on “The Transition of the United States of North America froma States-Union to a Union State,” whioh latter worfc contains a history of the Con vent ion that framed our federal Constitu tion, aud these books indicate to us very plainly, how the Convention groped along without the beacon light, which a true knowledge of federal law would have given it; and how it finally took tho fatal leap into the dark by stepping beyond the fundamental logic of federal law. They took that fatalleap under tho pre sumption, so flattering to their pride, that they wcr« going to improve federal law by stepping beyond it, and by mix ing with it municipal, natural, commer cial ami other law Alexander Hamilton shows us how clouded his otherwise dear intellect was, when he said : “A nation without a national govern ment is an awful 8]>ectacle! The estab lishment of a constitution iu time of pro found peace by tho voluntary consent of a whole people, is a prodigy, to the com pletion of which I look forward with trembling auxiety.” The words Nation—national Govern ment—whole i>eoplo, iuv significant indi cations of tbo {Status of his mind. He bail some instincts about federal law, but uo real erudition. His acknowledged model was the British government, but it was also that of Washington, Franklin, Madison, though they disliked it, aud re fused therefore to become conscious of the law reasoning which guided all their States. Washington was ouce carried away, and called the United States Govern ment “tho grandest model of a confed crated republic,” and Mr. Stephens quotes tliis remark, bat the real opinion, tlio oue with which he died, was that our federal constitution was an experiment. Nor does Mr. Stephens help tho mat ter when ho gives us Brougham s words, that “to Thomas Jcffewon’s genius this wonderful system is mainly due.” We know l>cttcr on this sido of tho Atlantic ; for Jefferson’s merit consists simply in tho efforts ho made, after our Coustitn- tion was framed, to moke our Union retilly federal, and to instill into it sound federal law. Mr. Jefferson succeeded in establishing a party that, amidst much weakness, adhered rather faithfully to on approximately true federal luw; hut the constitution contained too much munici- pal or civil .law, and eatablislicd too pointedly . civil government, to ever al low Jefferson’s construction of tlie con stitution to be adopted by tbc whole country; it was merely thi platform of a party. • And for the cause of this political phe nomenon, we mast take into uocouut the antecedents, of our federal Union. IVe arc at least in origin, more British, than we ore any other Europcauism, and nine- tenths of onr education bus ever hail anil has still its rod ’U the British Isles.— Our jurisprudence especially, is essential ly English. We established iu theory a federal Union, but in practice, we cod tinued British politics. We are an ex emplification of Professor Uaering's doc trine, that all life is bat conscious or un conscious memory, aud British memories are still alivo all through this people.— Our population never was federal in its spirit; federal law was always entertained by but a few, and by these few imper fectly. ft We have, in the foregoing, done tow ards Mr. Stephens, what small men would regard as a mortal offense, bat we know that the Statesman and jurist of Geor gia will not so regard it. He knows our devotion to federal institutions and will accept our strictures os a tribute to his title to be the leader of the friends of States rights. Even minor error beoomes vital in lum, and for that reason wc have objected to the doctrine, that “natural right” is the source of federal law.
