IMPORTANT LETTER.
Read It.
TUB DEPARTURE.
VI. wa of. Maryland CoaaervatlT..
7b the Editor qfthe Register .-—Although
yon hare entered largely into the discus
sion suggested by thii title, still you may
allow space to on old JDemooral—or un
old Whig on Democratic principles—for
tome thought upon it. I confess I do
not think the question can well be ig
nored. Already some, attracted by a new
scheme, are turning away from the old
paths. And there may be others, who
may even need to bo reminded wbat it
is. I will state it anew; ought the Demo
cratic Party .in Us announcements, to main
tain and approve the articles lately milled
to the ConslUulion, as the XIVth and A'l'l/i
Amendments t
To be suro of my ground, I hare turn-
ed the book; ana from those amend■
meats I take tbo following:
"No persons shall bold any ofllce un
der the General Government or in any
State, who, having taken an oatli, at any
time, to support the Constitution of the
United States, shall have espoused or
sided the Southern cause in the late civil
war. But Congress may remove the dis
ability by a two-third vote of both
Houses."
“ No State shall pay any money for
debts incurred by the war."
“ No Stats shall deny the right of tbo
blacks to Tote at any Stare election."
When I read theso provisions my first
impulse was to rub my eyes to make suro
that I had read aright that titeae things
are now in the Constitution. “ Could it
be so that the peoplo of our State Gov
ernments shall not eloct their own offi
cers, in tho exercise of their judgment
of fitness, without tho consent of Con
gress ?—that they shall not cliooee tho
citizens to whom they would ooufido
their interests in Congress? that "they
may not pay debts of their ownwreating?
that the StateB aro not to decide who
Khali have the right of miffrago? nud that
Congress may carry these things iuto ef
fect, if need bo, by force? " This 1 que
ried. But so I found in tho new book.
But it is not tho Government, os 1 re
member it It is not the Government asit
was framed by Franklin, Washington, and
Madison. Intelligent men, whoever they
ore, see that thesa provisions chnugo the
foundation of tho compact by which tho
States, when they wero wholly sovereign,
entered into tho Union. It is a new
uheat 8tki* of the Government ont of ite
sphere—« step into an abyss of whloh
we do lot see the bottom. And yet some
of our own people avow their intention,
in seeming earnest, to “ depart" upon
this career. Nay, having resolved upon
it, by some process of permutation, they
have become the complainants, and they
give to those who will not join them the
soubriquet of Bourbons, and if they re
monstrate they aro "fond of questions,"
and " disputation," or they are " in
■anel"
WHAT IS THIS DEFAllTUnB ?
It originated in a cinvention in Ohio,
It reads tho*: ‘That waiving all difficul
ties oa to the extraordinary means by whieh
they were brought, about we accept the
natural and legitimate results of the war,
so for at waged for its ostensible purpose
to maintain the Union and the constitu
tional rights snd powers of the Federal
Government, including the then serend
amendments of the. Constitution recently
dedareit adopted, sa a settlement in part
of all the issues of the war, and acquiesce
in the same, as no longer issues before
the country.’
With all earnestnoas I ask yon, disei-
plea of Jefferson, do you really “accept"
and "noquieeoo in” this onward stride to
wards consolidation ?—this commonoe-
ment of tho Amekican Ehi-ihe ? To
e-pt, in its weakest sense, is to revive
with an assenting mind. To acquiesce, is
to rest saliyied. Now, to read it in thi«,
its true sense—“we," the dcpartcra,
-‘receive with assenting minds, these seve
ral provisions, as part of the legitimate
results of the war, and we trill rest satis
fied with the same, being no longer issues
before tho countiy. ” You subscribe to
this, and you rest sutisfied with theso en
actments, andyou mean to “build upon"
them, and to maintain them now, henoe-
forth and toswvor. If there is any mean
ing in language, yon pledge yourself to
all this. Six months ago, yon believed
in the right end control of the States, in
all interests save those of a national char-
octer. Then, you viewed thcee artialcs
with stem reprobation. When did the
change come ? When wero you first sat
isfied with them ? And how? AuJwhy?
No hope, no prospnet, real or illusion,
should cause you to forswear your old
faith. It was tn honest one. ‘it Was a
safe one. Far myself, though it is possi
ble that some fatal crisis may compel me
to vote for a candidate on such a creed, I
should do so, just as I might take an
odious potion, to rid me of some evil
greater than itself.
Bat the departori>ay we ore now bound
by the rule of majorities, and that by this
rule, we have adopted these measures
ourselves, constructively. Let us see.
The departers ‘‘waive" the meaus by
which these articles were brought in. So
do not we. The means were the root ol
t ie matter. The root corrupted the tree,
the upas which sprang from them, and
the tree, in turn, will bear evil fruit
To go luck a little. Congrees first ap
pealed to the Legislatures of the States to
ratify the XUIth Amendment, abolishing
slavery. They ratified it. The Legisla
tures at the Bonth ratified it, and they
were counted as States, for this pmpose.
The very some constituencies then elected
Senators and Representatives, and they
went to Washington. But Congress then
did not wont them, sod ehnt their doors
upon them. TwofijAiU^ tbtuesidgenf
jeeted, more than a third of tho States
voting against it. Upon this result, Con
gress, in violation of all principle, insti
tuted a second process, and by refusing
to allow two States to retract their first
vote, by disfranchisements, and fraud in
other Htatoi, and by reforming some
States by military role; throttling and
compelling them, they obtained a bare
majority, Secretary Seward himself hav
ing confidence to give only a conditional
certificate.
And this is termed tho obligation of
the Itepublicon rule of majorities! The
oonfeseed production of fraud and wrong
by a process “outside of the Constitu
tion," it cannot lie said, except in a
technical sense, that ice have adopted
this provision- btill it is not to be de
nied that we ore bound to obey it as long
it remains on the statute book.
The ratification of the XVth Amend
ment, whieh mode the suffrage of ne
groes in the States compulsory, was
brought about by moons not leas irregu
lar and odious. But it is needless to
narrate them. Crimine abuno tlesoe omite.-.
The one history above given may suf
fice.
I repeat, a loyal obedience to law is
not the point; it is, whether as a party,
led by a hope of sucoess—and a baseless
reason for hope it is—we shull announce
our support of enactments which we so
lately denounced with our lips, and
which, in our hearts and oar judgments,
we still utterly condemn. No—it will
not advanco our cause. Here, as it
everything, honesty is the true policy.
Look at rocent events. They speak
loudly on tho question. They illustrate
the motto, “the bolder anil higher we
Uft oar llug, the surer we aro of success. ”
Ben ex.
Baltimore, October, 1871.
Cool Down, and Talk Calmly.
The Milledgeville Union, of tho 18th
inst., charges us with having “tried to
make out that tho people of Atlanta had
not violated their contract,” and then
says tliat “instead of furnishing public
buildings to the State for ten years free
of expense,” wo “agreed to pay a small
amount towards purchasing Kimball anil
Ballook's Opera House,” Ac.
It was wrong in the editor of the
Union to say this. Ho knew that the
oity of Atlanta had, in good faith, enter-
od into a ten year oontract, to pay over
810,000 per annum, in compliance with
her obligation to furnish publio build
ings for tho State for that length of time,
and by that contract had, in many re
spects, furnished the State Government
and tho Legislature with better nccom
moilations than they over before had.
Ho also knew that the city of Atlanta
afterwords, in good faith, paid 8130,000 at
once, in lieu of the 810,000 a year for
ten years in which there was, at least, u
loss of interest He also ought to know
that the people ol Atlanta had nothing to do
with proposing and engineering through
the puwhasa of the Opera House for the
use of tho State, either as individuu's or
in their corporate capacity. A few per
sons may have had a baud in that specu
lation, though wo doubt if nuy of our cit
izens outside of tlio owners of tliu
building, profitod ono ccut by the opera
tion; out! tho idea that our people had
anything to do with it, is preposterous.
As we stated before, we have no doubt
tho Opera Houbo would havo been pur
chased by the Legislature, if Atlanta
had refused to pay any part of tho pur
chase money, or had even opposed it.
It was a moasiire which, on its merits,
ilid not rcoeive tho approbation of our citi
zens generally; but the peoplo of Atlanta
had no voice or influence in the matter,
and were not consulted. No blame can be
attached to them. They diil not orig-
innto the trade. Tho proposition was
modo to Atlanta to pay the $135,000 at
once instead of the 810,000 a year, and
was nocoptcd. That is all
Tha editor speaks of tho Opera House
having been sold to the State tor nearly
M00,000, when it had reoenlly been pur
chased at auction for about $30,000.
As liefore stated, the peoplo of At-
lanta had nothing to do with getting up
or proposing tho trade; but, perhaps, it
would havo boon as well, had the editor
atated that when the property was sold ut
auction for $30,000, it was not even a half
finished wall. The half of its oost hod
not then been put opon it.
Then he says, “ all the money (moan
ing the 8100,000) went iuto the hands of
the people of Atlanta."
Sach a reckless statement ehows that
the editor is in a passion, and is not care
ful about the words he uses.
Whether it was right for tho Legisla
ture to purchase tho Jarnos House and
the Opera House or not, wo do not pre
tend to say, but the people qf Atlanta are
not to blame for it. The Legislature
made the purchase—the members from
Baldwin, no doubt, voting for both these
measures. Tho James House it not a
"sham building"—neither is tho Opera
Housu building. If tho editor don't
know about this matter, bo ought to in-
form himself before making such a
statement.
Thou he wiuds up by asserting that
"every intelligent man in tho State
knows these aro the real facts." This
assertion bos not even tho merit of “spec
ial idoadiug."
Wo hereto annex the article in full,
that our readers may judgo of its merits
and the fairuoss of our comments
for two sham buildings. Every ii.telli-|
^■i. Ill 111 the State knows theta are
the teal facts in the case, and no special
pleadings of The Sf.s can alter them.—
The people of Georgia hh yet havo hud no
voico in tho matter, but they intend to
be heard before the matter is settled.
Treasurer Angler Sued.
At the instance of Major Williams,
Governor Bullock's warrant clerk, aud
by Bullock’s prompting, Dr. Angier has
been cited to appear before Judge Hop
kins, on Saturday, the 28th inst., to an
swer for his conduct in refusing to pay
Eiocutive warrants, drawn while it was
known that the Governor was beyond
the limits of the State.
We have heretofore published the law
and the foots in this ease. The Gov
ernor cannot luwfully draw a warrant on
the Treasurer, whil 3 he is outside the
State; neither esn he delegate his au
thority to draw such a warrant to another
penon. The law requires him to do so,
and to he at the seat ol government,
when he does.
The Treasurer did right in refusing
to pay warrants—known by him not to
be drawn in accordance with the require
ments of law. It was a duty he owed
not only to the people of the State of
Georgia, but to himself uml his bonds
men, for their security; for when he
pays out money illegally, he lays himself
anil hia securities liable.
