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.
