OA : Friday Morning, April 26, 1872. A Word lo the Democracy. No truer human maxim ever was ut tered than that “ the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.” Now if the time when this max eminently applicable to the true friends of the rights of the People, and the rights of the States, under the Federal Consti tution, everywhere. The country is passing an important crisis. The Party in Power is aiming at the overthrow of free Government in this country, and the substitution in its stead, of a Centralised Despotism—a Govern ment without regard to Constitutional restraints—without regard to the free dom of the Press—without regard to the freedom of person—without regard to the sacred right of the writ of Habeas 4 Corpus, and trial by impartial juries ; a Government without regard to the inal ienable rights of tho Peoplo in the States. The day approaches, and will soon open upon us, for the arraignment before the people, of this Dynasty,^for their high crimes of Usurpation and wrongs against tho Constitution and public Liberty. It is the mission of the Democracy to lead tho Grand Impeachment. If this bo dono upon an open and square issue, tho result of a signal condemnation is already seen and felt by the culprits. As Belshazzar of old, they havo already seen, and read, tho "handwriting upon tho wall,” and are trembling in their High Places. The only hope of escape they aud their accomplices have, is, by some such strategy as that by which Troy was en* ttred, to dccoivo tho defenders of tlio citadel of all that is dear to Freemen; and by some wiley schemo to induco them to quash the Iadictment—not to proceed with tho arraignment—but to be satisfied with some delusive promises of Reform. Will tho Democracy sulTer themselves to be so docoivod and mislead in this day of peril? In the namo of all that thoy hold most sacrod pertaining to their rights and liberties, we invoke thorn to bo on their "watch and guard. ” Wo address tho masses as well as their loaders, or those in positions of sentinels. We tell them t.i bowaro of their Arch Enomies, who aro now approaching them with such guiloful words. If tho country is to bo reformed, who can do it so well— so certainly and so efficiently as the Party which has ever stood by tho Constitution? To ono and ail of this Party wo most earnestly say, be not deceived by tho artful and cunuing cry raised aud seutubroad, that they are in the minority, and hare no prospect or hope of doing better than defeating ono Radical Impe rialist by aiding in electing another ; that they cau do nothing better for them selves and their oountry in this contost, than to aid in the defeat of Grant, l*y electing some other mau of tho same Dynasty, "trained" in tho samo "ideas” and "policies.” Never were more deceptive aud ruin ous counsels uttered than these alluded to, siuce the day that tho great Tempter said to Eve, that if she would but eat of the forbidden fruit she wmld "not surely die 1” The great truth is apparent to every ouo who is awake aud understands tho real condition of popular sentiment in this country at this time, that an over whelming majority of the voters in the United States arc now ready to pronouuco judgment of condem nation against the usurpations aud cor- ruptions of tho present Administration. This, many of tho heretofore prominent leaders of the Radical Party see and know; hence their wiley attempt not only to cseapo popular condemnation themselves, but to induco the Democracy to aid thim in saving their principles! A. H. S. From the Cincinnati Commoner, 20tli April, 1872' Mr. Jefferson's Anuivrrsuvy. Last Saturday there was nu iuformulc gathering in the city of a chosen few of tho disciples of Jclfersou, who met to confer together, and to commemorate the anniversary. It was not thought ex pedient to make any public demonstra tion, but to confine ourselves to the cir culation of the tme ideas of liberty and its constitutional protection, which aro so tlrrnly grounded in the basis of our institutions, aud which are forever as sociated with the great patriot’s fame. Thero seems to be a settled conviction tuning Jeffersonians that' we will have to meet the dang.rs of the crisis by a resort to his example. Ho was compelled to encounter them in bis day without much assistance; indeed, a handful of disciples was all that ho could summon among the statesmen of his day, while of all the score of States, only Virginia and Ken tucky stood op for that interpretation of the Constitution which he and Mr. Mad ison demonstrated to be sonnd. lint wo have concluded to abide onr time, whoa, after the Cincinnati and Philadelphia Conventions, it shall have been found that all evasions and compro mises have been barreu and deceptive, perhaps the common mind will find ont that the tme leaden are thoao who do now, and have always insisted that there was no safety in any but the well-knwwn principles of the State rightsschool, "ml in thu selection for President of s repre sentative of those principles. The Chronicle and Sentinel of Wednea* From the Augusts Coetitutlonalist, April -:th, 1872. The Constitutional Amendments, We publish tho lucid exposition of Reverdy Johnson, one of the great legal luminaries of our country, as to tho tenor and effect of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. The subject is of abiding interest to the people of tho whole coun try, and especially of our section. But it is not new to onr readers, nor is it here presented with greater force than has been brought to their attention hereto fore. The lion. Linton Stephens, in hi: argument before Commissioner Swnzey at Macon in 1870, presented tho whole subject in all its bearings in a masterly manner. Nothing 1ms l>< en said since that can add strength to Ins argument.— It effectually killed tho proseoutiou tin u instituted against our distinguished fel low-citizen. FEDERAL CSUBPATIOM0. Wash i kg toe, l>. C., April 10.—-Tho follow-lug i* tbo argument of tho lion. Keverdy Johnson before the Supreme Court ou the point of the constitution ality of the Knforcement act in the Ku-Klux cases: In tho consideration of all questions of this kind there sre certain rules to bo borne la mind. Thru a are, in substance, that the Government of the United States is a government of enumerated powers. Ther • be ng no antecedent government, consisting of all tho people of all the States as an aggregate body. It cau have no derivative powers. The difficulty which the convention felt, itself under, wss to determine wliat powers of sovereingty the States would agree to surrender, and in all thu debateu in the conven tion it was admitted that no powers were to be con sidered as surrendered unless such powers were delegated to the United States, aud every member of the convention therefore admitted that tho Govern ment, to be organized under tho Constitution, would havo no powers except such as were delegated or h delegate o implied: prevailed in each ono of tho state conven tions by which the Constitution was afterwards rati fied and has ever since been recognized as the true view by tho courts of tho United States as well as those of the States. It Is clearly stated by Marshall in the case of McCullough rt. Maryland in 4th Wboatou. It necessarily follows from this doctrine that nil tho powers of sovereignty before existing in tho States, or tho people separated, unless they aro in cluded in those granted to tho General Government or expressly taken away, belong to them now. And the people were so jealous upon this particular point that, almost coeval with tlm ('oiihtitution, amongst other amendments intended to restrict the power of tho Goneral Government and to guard the rights of tho States and the people of the States, they ratified tho tenth amendment, which declares that “the powers delegated to the United States by the Con stitution, nor prohibited by it to tho States, are re served to the States rospoctively or to tlio people.” TUB ELECTIVE 1 KANCUIhE. Did they surrender by the Constitution their Jurisdiction over the elective franchise? Until lately this has never been pretended. First, because thero Is no such grant; second, because the Constitution itself, as originally adopted, recognizes the right to be in tho States, by tho provision in the second sec tion of the firstarticle, which states that “in the elec tion of members of the House of Representatives tho electors in each Btato shall havo tho qualifications roqlsitc for electors of the most numerous brafick of the State Legislature.” “This Is a clear coucosslon that the elective frauchiso was intended to bn left to tho Statos as It existed. Besides, If anything cculd make it moro cloar, it would bo that if it had been designed to tako away from or limit the right of tlio States it would havo been dono by hoiuo pro vision in tho tenth section of the first article, which contains restrictions on tho power which did not or should not belong absolutely to the States. Auy other provision, therefore, to bo found tbe Constitution as originally adopted is to be of government to each State, contained fourth section of tho fourth article, was designed to givo to Cungrcaa power over tho electJvo franchise, aud, notwithstanding Mr. Attorney Geuoral'a doc trine as to tho effect of that clause, I shall consider as clear that it did not, although I may have some thing to say upon tho subject beforo I conclude. Assuming, thou, that tho original Constitution left tlio States in the possession of the exclusive power over tho olectlvt franchise, 1 proceed next to inquiro whether that power was taken away or abridged by tho .thirteenth and fourteenth amendments, and to what extent it was abridged by tho fifteenth amend ment. First—As to tlio thirteenth amendment. That simp ly abolished slavery, but guvo tbe liberated slave no other right but tho right of freedom a* against ins master aud against all othor men. It clothed him with no political right. Tho second section of that amend ment, giving to Cougress the power by appropriate legislation to enforce tho amendment, iH to he con strued with reference to the object of tho ainoml- iuont, pud to nothing olso. Thoy might under this clause provide by law for tlio protection and securi ty of tlio right of freedom, but they could no moro givo to tho emancipated stave the right of siiifrsgo than tlier could givo him the right to"bo elected to offico in tho State, over official qualifications for Stato offices tho State lias exclusive Jurisdiction, and it had and still Iisn, as far as this amendment is con cerned at any rato, exclusive jurisdiction over tho suffrage. Any legislation, therefore, by Congress upon tho subjoct of either right is not only not ap propriate to accomplish tho end of the amoudment, but is n direct interference with what had, from tho origin of the Government to the adoption of that amondmeut, been hold to bo exclusively vested In the State. Second—As to tho fourteenth ameudinont. So fai ls the amcndnicut from giving to tho United Slides qwwor over tho suffrage, it in words concedes that that power is in tho State. This, two, shows that Congress did not boliovo that tho pmvor was taken away or modiflod by tho thirteenth amendment, or that it wav expedient to take it away. All that tho nniendmout does is to provide that as tho Stages may or may not oxcorciso their power over tho right of suffrage, their representation in Congress may or may not bo reduced. This is dono by tho second section of tho amendment, which provides that, when tho right to vote at the elections specified la denied by any State to tho male inhabitants twenty- such State, it is obvious that this doos not tako from tho States tho right over tho suffrage, but, ou coutray, evidently admits it, ami mere ly provides how the oxerciso of it in a cer tain way may affect their representation in Congress. Now can it bo oven plausibly maintained that the of tho a ny s' * __ that soctiou were intended sets. First, To declare what is « citizenship, a moat ion about which there was thought to bo some loubt; Second, To prohibit tlio States from making ir enforcing any law which might abrldgo the prlv- legos or Immunities of each cltizou, and deprive thorn of life, liberty, or property, without tho duo process of law, or deny to any person within their Jurisdiction tho equal protection of tho laws. It is, I think, clear that these clauses havo uothiug what ever to do with tho power of the United States over tho suffrage. Certainly citixoushlp docs uot givo tho right to voto; for if it did, all citizens, i, women and children, whether black white, would have tho right. Nor is tho right to vote a privilege or immunity belonging to a citizen as such. It may be made to depend upon aga, property qualification, mental pacify or lorgth of residence. As tho power to p scribe these qualifications, when tlio amendment was adopted, was universally considered as bolon. ing to tho States, it could not havo been the inten tion ol tho amendment t * tako it away or to abridge it; tho authority therefore conferred tQion Congress by the fifth section of tho amoudment, to enforce by appropriate logtalatlon iu tho provisions of tlio ar ticle, cannot properly beoonatrued as giving authort ty to legislate for some end or object not embraced in the uiueudtuont; aud consequently, if the amend ment does not interfere with tho power of the States over suffrage, it cannot givo Cougress the power to legislate In regarvl to the suffrage. Third—As to the fifteenth amendment. Does tho amendment authorize the legislation in question ? As has been before said (i believe proved) at the time when thia amoudment was adopted, the general and absolute power over the suffrage was in tho States. >Vliat, then, was tho purpose of the amend ment? Was it to take away that i>ower from the States aud veat it in Congress? Surely not. For if that wsh the purposo then tho State would bo cu> tiroly deprived of all power over tho suffrage. Usd this been the design it would have been very easy to have accomplished it by clear and unambiguous lauguage—not only depriving tho Stato of it but vest ing the power exclusively in Congress; aud if that had becu the design and affect of the amendment it would have been the duty of Cougress to pa** laws regulating the suffrage in all particular*; cither giving the right to all to vote, or proscribing tho qualifications necessary to its exorcise. This has uot only never bocn done, but it has not even been suggested that Congress has any such power. The conclusion f >Uow* that tho jurisdiction of the Statos tho sufUmgo Is the same now as it waa before the fifteenth amcudmvut, subject only to the limits- ■‘»u upon that Jurisdiction which tho amcndtucut mem, What is that limitation? It relates to one single matter, and being so limited it leaves evory other matter relative to tho suffrage as it was before. The amendment is: ‘The right of eitizent cf the United States to voto ill * **•■*-■■ rb 7 - radition of servitude. Tho States, therefore, and the Uuited States, In their authority over the Territories, posses* the powor to regulate tho suffrage, with tho siugle res triction that they shall not deny it ou account of color or previous condition of servitude. Docs this take from cither the power to make tho right to voto dependent upon age, intelligence, reaideuce or moral character? It will hardly he maintained that it does. The object of the amendment only being then to deprive the Stato or the Uuitcd States ot the to deny tho right on account of race, color or t>i condition of servitude, tho evident mcamr_ the provision was that they should not do this their political character as States; a different iutei- pretatimi would givo to the United States the cxcln- bo made ao by Congressional legislation. The Statos are not, therefore, at liberty to prescribe the qualifi- catlouH of voters in all other particulars than those prohibited by this amendment, nor can they pre scribe the manner of voting whether by ballot or viva voce, or of making the returns, or of purging, or of setting them aside as their laws may provide, nor to punish a man who votes more than once, or one or more of their citizens who may pre vent a legal voter from voting. The argument of tho counsel of tbe Government, in their brief as well as at the bar, is that the word “State.” as used in tho fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, is uot to be understood as only refer ring lo States in their political cbwwcter, idles equally ' ' ictiug I control over the suffrage is in Congress, all State fl,nn the lawful oaths taken before the 0lt«.m^S«4» The, ura organized i aa( j nrme( j. They effect their object by personal violence, often extending to mu;.’. ,. They terrify the witnesses. They control juries in the State courts and sometimes in the courts of the Uni- ted States. Hystematic spying is one of the means by which tbe prosecution of the members is defeated. From infor mation given by tho officers of the States and of tne United States, and by credi ble private sources, I am justified in af firming that the instances of criminal vi olence perpetrated by these combinations within the last thirteen months in tbe above named counties could be reckoned by thousands. I received information ot similar import from various sources, among which were three joint committees of Congress on Southern Outrages, the officers of the State, the military officers of the United States on duty iu South Carolina, the United States Attorney and Marshals and other officers of the Government, repentant and abjuring members of those unlawful organizations, persons especially employed by the De partment of Justice to detect crimes against the Unitad States, and from other credible sources. Most, if not all, of this information, except that I derived from tho Attorney-General, came to me orally, and was to tho effect that the said coun ties were under the sway of powerful combinations, popularly known us the Ku-Klux Klan, the objects of which were by force and terror to prevent all politi cal action not in accordance with the views of the members, to deprive colored citizens of the right to bear arms, and of the right of a free ballot, suppress tho school in which colored children were taught and to reduce the colored peoplo to a condition closely akin to that of slavery; that these combinations were organized and armed, and had rendered tho local law ineffectual to protect the classes they desired to oppress; that they had perpetrated many murders and crimes of minor degree, all of which were unpunished, aud that witnesses could uot safely testify iu tho courts there until tho most active members were placed under restraint.

For this they rely upon the esse of Texas ti. White (7 Wallace, 720). There la nothing in the opi lut'ii of the Chief Justice in that case which was, l think, the slightest foundation for this doctrine.— I have uot time to examine that point of the opinion relied upon by tbe Government, but it seems to me perfectly evident that tbe meaning of the term ••Stato,” as found in the Constitution, is a State of the Uulted States, aud of oourse that term is uot used us synonymous with the people of s State in tbier aggregate capacity, or with any portion of the people. Alter referring to the different meaning# of the term, as given by publicists, as sometimes applying to tbe peoplo aud sometimes to tbe territorial limits within which they located, and sometimes to the government which they may have established, and sometimes as meaning all throe—people, territory and government—rand stating that iu the latter sense the word is generally used iu the Constitution, tbs Chief Justice at Ids that “a State, iu the ordinary souse of the Constitution, is a political community of free citizens, occupying a territory of defined boundaries, aud organized under a government sanctioned and limited by a written constitution, aud established by the consent of the gov erned. It is tho Union of such States under a common constitution which forms the distinct and greater political unit which that Constitution designates aa tbe United States, and makes of ths people ami Slates which compose it ouo people aud ono country." If the counsel for tho Government bo right, that the word State, as used in the Fourteenth aud Fifteenth Amendments, applies to any individu al or number of individuals; tbeu, instead of their being thirty-seven States, there may be thousands or millions of States. To couslruo these individuals to bs States in order to puuiah them, and to deny them the privileges of States, would seem to bo grossly unjust. The doctrine, however, has no sup port in thcConstltutJon, and is glaringly unsound— and I would nay absurd, if it did uot come from such high authority. Before leaving this point I havo but a word to say relative to the view of tho Attorney General that the legislation in dispute, if not warranted by oitber of the three of the last amendments, is warranted by the clause in the fourth section of tho fourth article, whi h provides that tho Uuitcd States shall guaran tee to every Stats iu tho Union a Republican form o; government. This clause evidently assumes that there ti a Republican Government to be guaranteed. 'Die Cougress of tbe United States bad no authority then and has tiouo now to form a government for the States. This can only bo done by the peoplo if tho States respectively, and in tbe exorcise of the power they are subject to no limitations other than those to He found in tho powers delegated to the United States, or by tho restrictions to tho States contained in tbe Constitution of the Uuitcd States. If tho Attorney General Is right, then, when tho Constitution was adopted there was no Republican government in the States, lor iu nearly all of them the exercise of the suffrage was not only limited to those having property qualification, ago, etc., but was also confined to tho white race. Aud now, iu Massachusetts, whoso people are supposed to have had quite an enlarged and comprehensive sense ol political liberty, the ouffrago is subject to su educa tional tost. If, tlicretore, tbe law in question has any mpport under tbo guarantee clause, it can only bo i day lues this item: " Yesterday afternoon, as Ml*. Alfred Bhaw, a lady who lives iu the country a fofBilM from this city, was driving out ot w*a iu a wagou, tho horse became frightened and run away. Mra.

Tho Attorney General will, I hope, pardon mo for saying that his view upon tho poiut is a weak invention. From thu Petersburg [Vs.] Index, 15th April, 1872. Mr. Stephens' History. We liavo received from tbe National Publishing Co., of Philadelphia, u copy of tlio Hon. A. H. Stephens’ History of tho War between tho States, complete iu one volume. Unlike the mass of its cotemporaries, which live their little hour to bo forgot ten, this work w worthy of a fur more ex tended review than our space will admit. It ia, perhaps, unfortunate that the au thor should havo clioscn tho dialogue or colloquy form to convey so extended and so minute u view of tho history of the country; for the dialogue, there cau be no question, is inconsistent with the pur- noses of the historian, however phi losophical ho may bo, and 1ms become nnsuitod to the tastes of tho present day even for dialectical disquisitions. This, however, is matter of detail and takes little from tho essential value of this history, which, it is safo to say, lias taken, aud will for generations maintain, tho first rank in our politico-historical literature. Mr. Stephens traces iu most accurate and comprehensive manner tho course of tho formation of tho United ►States Government from the days of tho old articles of confederation, and read ing the constitution of 1789, by the light shed upon it by tho difficulties and fail ures of the original confederation, he establishes the true object aud in tent of tho com{ftct formed and ex pressed by that instrument. Tho subse quent legislation, growing out of inter preting and currying into effect that con stitution, is elaborately displayed, aud fiually we have a picture, drawn soberly and with closest attention to fact, of the condition of the Union iu the decade befoio secession, 1850-60. Thus prepar ing the reader for a true view of the war between the States, Mr. Stephens lays before him a summary of that struggle, with special attention to tho legislative, diplomatic and political history of the Confederacy, and giving nu exhaustive analysis of tho famous Conference at Hampton Roads. With this meagre outline wc must be content. For in truth Mr. Stephens' work is ono to which no review could do justice. No citizen anxious, ns overy itizen should bo, to Uuow tho past and the present history of tho country will fail to study this, tho most valuable of our political theories. It contains a mino of information. Aliko to the active politician as to tbo closo student, it is indispensable, and whatever be tbe mood in which wo receivo Mr. Stephens’ theo ries, posterity will bo grateful to him, for he bus in this great work embalmed, as it were, tho seventy years’ life of a Union tho most marvellous—seventy years of a prosperity tho most complete—seventy years of a happiness tho most perfect that can be shown by the history of tho peoples of the earth.

Those combinations em brace at least two-thirds of tho active wliito men of those comities, and have tho sympathies aud countenance of a ma jority of the other third.
