The position they <’ •py, and the the ouu—quenl intiuunoe they ex urcuK* upou the minds ad actions of those under tbeir mtn sterial charge, must and docs have a vreatue ‘b*griHj of weight, than the Vaporing# of ilia politicians. We scarcely pick up a northern paper but what contains long accounts of Drown meetings, iu which the clergy invariably bear a most conspicuous pari. Descending from the sAcred desk amid the foul, damp arena of pot iioucc polities, they prostrate their holy calling and their tuleui* to cater to the lowest and moat de- I raved passions of the rabble—counseling thorn and ad visiug the commission of deeds of blood, rapine uud rubbery. The teachings of such men as BwiTer, Chapin, es id ntnne ijenua , have borne this blomlv fruit which could not otherwise have t>eon expacted. Their inflammatory harangues uud Sharpe's rifle ?ermons have caused the plains of Kansas to lie wot with blood; and the sangui nary deuourcental Harper's Ferry, and the pres ent excited state of bo public tuind upon tho all absorbing question of slavery, is a corollary of their unchristian deportment and instructions.— It tells us unmisiakeably that the religious com munity of the North have hopelessly fallen into a fanaticism which would hare disgraced tho Mid’ die Ages. Wo do not wish to bo understood as condemn ing or including in the category, all the religious denomination.! n! the North. We are happy to have it in our power to state, that there is at least one body of Ministers, who arc nearly if not eu | tirdy exempt from this charge. We mean the clergy of the Episcopal Church. That class of our fcllow-citizens of the North, are distinguished alike for their intelligence and piety, their unob trusive and modest deportment iu every relation of life ; and lor the long time that the subject of slavery has been a “Lone of contention” between the eitixens of the two sections of the eonfotlcra- I ey, ami made the basis of success or dofuut in | politics, we have never heard of an Episcopal clergyman who was so far forgetful of his 1 oly | i ntlico, as to Like advantage of his position, and | | insul into the minds of his flock, that resistance ito tho uoiistitutioual laws of the country was a duty they owed to the Almighty. We have never seen that one of Mi era .aided or abetted the traitor of Harper's Ferry notoriety, either in his “Kan sas work” oriu the affair for which he paid the penally of his life. They uiadeuo c diinfirry sub scriptions for the purpose of purchasing deadly weapon* to bo used upou their Konthern fcllow ci'i/.ens, or gave “aid and comfort” by exhorta tion or advice t those who did. Neither do they who tho cry ibivi m> “irrepressible conflict” is ap proaching, nor tLaU a “*.ighor law” tbau tbe Ooiistitut-ioii of out fathers shooldbe our political | guide. They huvo been content to follow their, high And holy colling, without soiling their vest- | nici'ts ly coming in contact with tho foul and turbid pool of politics. Wc have spoken thus of the Episcopal clergy ; of the North, uot from any sdflsh preference for the faith and rites of that church, but simply to . state n fad net probably geuerafty known th rough out the South, and to shield from tho sweeping and well deserved denunciation which a majority of the Northern preachers roceivofroui the South ern press and people, a class of citizens who merit and should receive our wannest affection and admiration, “/'iul juaticia , t unl co/Ihm.” Mlllcigcvlll® runt ration The Ccmidlttilicnaliat, Augusta; News and Express of Savannah; Albany Patriot, Bain bridge Argus, £outb-Western News, Auierieus; j C'uthbcrt Reporter, Lumpkin Palladium, Ncw , han Banner A Seutiuel, Southern Democrat, Griffin; Atlanta Confederacy, Laurence vilie | News, Dalton Times, Cartemville Express and | Colmubus Times, quite an array of respectable | journals, advocate the call of the Executive Com mittee for a Democratic Slate Convention on the Htb of March.

We are indebted to Detenum Tbwuatt, Esq., Comptroller General of the State, for several copies of his last annual report, of which wu have made frequent use. It is, as we lifltvw Liken occasion heretofore to say, the most complete and elaborate report ever made by a Comptroller General, and on© of the most interesting and valuable documents ever issued from any depart meat at Hillcdgeville. The Legislature, which has just adjourned, we are glad to see, has shown, iu several ways, its high appreciation of tho ability and industry of our present Comptroller General. At tbe com mencement of tbo Mission, be was re-elected with out opposition, receiving a larger vote than auy other officer who was elected by the body : aud before it* adjournment twenty-nine hundred copies of his last report were ordered for general circulation j four hundred dollars wore appropria ted him for ibe extra labor performed by him in the preparation of that report, and a bill wa passed allowing the Comptroller five hundred dol lars per annum for clerk s hire, and requiring the reports of bis office to be prepared in tho saute manner tut Mr. I'hweatt‘s have been.

T&d. Democratic (bntcntlon Judge Henning. The Augusta Cauetitutionu lists copies Judge Bnuiiig'B letter and remarks that, Judge Henning, as some of our readers are doubtless awor.*, waa appointed a delegate from the State at large, to the Charleston Convention, by the Convention of the Bth inat, without Iris knowledge or consent; and with the idea that his appointment would satisfy the Democracy of the Dooomd District, who were not represented in that Convention, and estop them from demanding another Convention. And bo it, probably, would have done, If Judge Bwnniug had accepted tbo honor conferred and thus recognized the authority of tho Convention of the Pth insL, to appoint delegates to the Charleston Convention. But he has declined it, with a protest against that Con vent ion, as defective in its all and in its cow tpooi lion, which is crushing, and with an endorsement of the action of the Hxeeutive Committee in cull ing another Convention in March. The reason urged ny Judge Henning, in favor of bolding ibis Convention, called by the Execu tive committee, is tbe same which has induced us to pronounce for that Con volition. It Is, to re store harmony in the party, and to prevent the appointment of two sets of delegate* from this State, to tho Charleston Convention. The action of the Convention of tbe Bth is repudiated by u large portion of the party; two of the deiegiitcs appointed by it have declined tho honors confer rod upon them, and another Convention will lie held, ta accordance With tho pall of tho Execu tive Committee. These are facts which it is use less to deny. Let us, as Judge Henning says, ac cept them and act upon thorn. Lot us umko the convention o l*o Held In March next, a Con van tion of tho whole party, and determine to abide by whatever it may do in reference to a represen tation in tho Charleston Convention. If wo <lo this, the party will bo united and harmonious. If wo do not, two sots of dslemtas will he appointed to the approaching National Couvnntion of tbe party ; the vote and the voice of the (Georgia Democracy will be divided in that Con van lien, aud tho divisions thus created will ho perpetua ted. These Are considerations which should influ ence tho whole party to desire another Conven tion for tho appointment of delegates to Charles- 1 ton ; hut there are others which should influence the fHcnds of <Jov. Cobh to demand another Convention. They have prejudiced the distin guished gentleman, whom fhey would serve, by mwkiug to secure him an endorsement and a dele gation from a legislative Caucus (for the Con vention of the Bth was nothing more,; and thus Hoetning to ho afraid of a full Convention of the party. Under these circumstance.-, it is net only their duty as Democrats, hut their duty aud their policy as tbe friends of Got. Cobh, to demand another Convention, and to ask of it, if it i a full representation of tho party, a ratification of the action of the Convention of the eighth, do far as it concerns Gov. Cobb, we have no doubt that it would he oordially given. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1860, <Ol.l WHIN ttKIIMHUAV, JIMAItV 4. IMO. Congress Utter More. The Ikysirrr of yesterday endeavors tjO vin ’ dicate tho low South Ainerioans, whose policy hasbtH-u to prvvout an organitntioii of Congress. It vainly attempts to throw the burden of the re sponsibility upou the Democracy. Had all the South Americans in Congress obstinately refused to elect a Southern stare holder speaker, who was recognised as a democrat, and allowed dis cord to roigu f rover, they would have acted pre cisely in ocoorduuee with the advice given them by tho Kn'/uirer. And yet, a rentier of that journal is induced to believe that a body of de mocrats, inure than three times iu numlwr the Americana, huvo been wonderfully derelict iu their duty in not supporting an American! But our ooteinporary insists that we havo misread the proceedings of Congress, if we have not’ discover ed that a Southern American could have been elected Speaker by the votes of the democrats. We confess that we have, nud ore none the wiser I by the more assertions of our neighbor. Tho mere declarations of a speaker, not acting for a party, the casting of a few complimentary votes for Mr. Gilmer, whose unsoundness is only equal led bv that of Mr. Etheridge, of Tennesson, upon questions affecting Southern rights, is not the voice of the Americans m Congress. While the democrat*, we candidly admit, have not yet re ceived a sufficient vote combined with the South Americans, to elect a Speaker, so chary haven low Southern Americans been of their reputation * not to cast a vote tor a Southern democrat for thesako of the South. Not only this, we assert nud ohallotigu the Enquirer to ewntruiliotlt, that ouo A<|//of the little Hquiid of Americans in Con gress will not act with the other half to elect a Southern democrat Speaker 1 That they refused to vote for the democrat /rcftd ly the South Americans as the least objectionable to their par ty, when his name v/as announced by the candi date of the South Americans for Speaker, previ ous to withdrawal of his own uuuie. Surely then • A//i’ this little band cannot be pleased. These are facts ! Tho country will hour them in mind in spile of the efforts of the opposition To turn to political advantage, their position as tb balancing power in Congress. Democratic (oHvcniloii, Alabama. Her Pollfl* clang. The Democratic State Convention will be held iu Montgomery, Ala., on the lith iilsl. It prom ises to l*e a large assembly of tho democracy of that gallant State. Its action will dotiblioss bu felt iu other States. We huvu great faith in the integrity of the democratic leaders of Alabama. They are so true to the constitutional rights of tho South. Seldom do they lir.w their knee to the Jlaal of office at tbe sacrifice of tbe interest of their section. Alabama is to-day what South Carolina was years sinco. They have changed places. The little Pidmtdto State has lost cast as the only leading spirit iu thu war with aboli tion fanuUetsiu. Aiol •>. .Utw Stale Ala ham ft loom* tip in the picture the most, prominent for Southern chivalry and heroic daring. She maybe left iu the lurch when the hour of trial come*; her confederated allies muy quail before the force of numbers, hut we expect Alabama to he firm, and if no other consolation is offered her in thu moinetH of defeat, she can appeal to her less valiant friends, as King Henry to his living comrades at tbe battle of lvry, ‘Turn your head*, if not to fight, ut leant to nee me dir /” This is the language that will animate such men as Olay, Yancey, Hilliard, Humford, Walker, Cochran, Bullock, Curry and other* of the uobio State of Alabama, as their bright sabre* sparkle in the sunlight above the horizon of Southern submis sion and gloom ! Han Henry A Who. The Montgomery Mail iu an aide article advo cate* the claims of Gov. llknkt A. WI flic for tho l*re*idncy. and aiiuouueea its intention to hoist at ita masthead bis niinin. This purpose in with hold fortho present, until the Governor’s recent speech before tbe Mcdicvl Students at Richmond is seen. We have not perused it ourself, hut don’t like the Union smack of tho extract pub lished by tbo press. We arc disposed to think, however, that the Governor, in passing encomi ums upon tbe Union, and proclaiming that it ■houhl not he dissolved, meant to convey the idea that the North would have la force the South to the alternative. Thu quotations <>f his speech iu the Montgomery Adeertinnr arc capable of this construction.

Jsii/itors Timestrj-l notice an article in your is sue of 3d inat., headed “The Northern Pulpits,” which does injustice to two largo and respectable denominations of Christians, which, I mil assur ed, was unintentional ou your part. Justice to all parties, demands that every pulpit in the Northern hiatus, which has not waged war upon Southern institutions should ho made pub lic. The Episcopal Church and Clergy, I know have abstained from joiuing in this unholy cru sade : so have the Catholic Church and Clergy. Thus far they have gone, and it is well, aud cred itable to them. But gentlemen, there is still an other baud of as true and noble hearted Christians as live anywhere, or over have Bred, who have gone further than either of the two mentioned, I allude to the Primitive Baptists, Hard Shells, us they are called >u derision. They have uot only ul.-mined from taking part in tho crusade, but they have, and are daily denouncing from the palpit and from the stump, when occasion offers, the abolition fanaticism of their Northern breth ren. Nor have they stoppeed here, but have pla ced on record, that slavery is of divine origin, and sustained by the word of Clod. And more than this they never have, nor will they ever support any man for office, unless his political record is clear upon this question. From Maine to Texas from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, you will I find this body of Christians sound on the question [of {Southern institutions, if any doubt, let them read their papers. Yon, yourselves, gentlemen, can bear witness to tho many gallant conflicts of tho Banner of Liberty, published at Middleton, New York, in defence of our property. My only object in writing this article, is to correct a false impression that might he made; that is, that the Episcopal Church and Clergy, were the only de nomination of Christians which wore true to the South aud the country. Let It be rctneuiborud that the Primitive Baptist and the Catholic Churches occupy tho same proud and honorable position. PRIMITIVE BAPTIST. Him* are He lo lo? |BV A HOCTIIKUNKR.) In view of tho late Harper's Ferry affair, and the divutoptip'iits which Have followed It, a ques tion of very gravo import presents itself to tho Southern people. What steps are wo to tuke, to effectually resist the spirit And the attack!—-the ucfuiil invasion* -of Northern abolitionism? It is my intention to discus* this question on!inly, dispn liounteiy—with nil the reason - , uli the judg ment which nature has allowed me. At the same time, I must hi’ permitted to use strong, pointed, expressive language. m I'robflbly, in presenting my views, I shall wound tho feelings of some Northern men who may chame to road this article. Poantbly, even some of my Southern brethren may become of fended at the reflections in which 1 shall indulge. If by any chance I offend a true friend of the South, from whatever Scot ton he may come, it will always be to me a source of regret, and l tender ! apologies in a Ivaucc, and declare that if. in the enunciation of what L deem to bo grout and im portant truths, I ahull Beets to speak harshly, it will bv because the time for bandying compli ments is pnet. and the motive of self-preservation compels ua to speak so as not to ho misunder stood. But tb those who are our determined and uu { compromising enemies: who arc toady to apply the torch of the incendiary to every homo in this sunny South: who are all the time compassing heaven and earth to obtain the means by which to kindle a servile war, and t<> raise the assassin's knife again at ev wry Southern breast—to such, 1 have iio word of explanation, further than to say, that, even in meting out justice to you, T would let reason, and not passion, direct me. In order to protect otiraolves and our families, we must first Uud out who arc they that threuleu us. U hat we are called on to guard against, now this very day —this very moment—ii the host, of abolition emissaries who lire scattered abroad throughout the length and breadth of oar land- who permeate the whole of Southern socie ty—who occupy our places ot tiust and euiolu incut. To alter a little the language used by the Abbe Dubois to Morton DeVeroaux ; “the plague* •f Hpj |* me i.i'B.t s^ntu —-ulflj, liiMCud or ®gyp tiaii frogs in our chambers, we have the still un re troublesome guests Yankee udvcutororii.” I.ot us examine, for a moment, lire plan of these people. Take tire following extract from Thai chef’s letter to *.lOllll Brown. “While at BrowriKvWlo Tchn., 1 addressed a letter to the school teacher. Mr. 11. He says there is ii<> avo cation in which a nuui can do so much good for uur cause as that of school-teaching” * * • “He says that we must send out more well quali fied men to the .South as school- teachers, and work them in everywhere” * * * I aoino times register one name and then another, to suit the drcmnstances as 1 travel about. .Sometimes 1 puss for n traveling prcachur. mid ut others for a Nov Orleans merchant, looking at the crops, a talking of speculations in cotton etc., Southern r- ‘t l * f/0t1.a.” What a text for omuinont is afforded by the above passages ! It helps to prove that many of thu V atikocs who cornu south as teachers, preach ers, merchants,drummer*, peddlers eto., are base, bitter, malignant abolitionills, bearing in their | heart* n determined and implacable hatred to wards ns and our institution?; always .seeking every opportunity to instil the poison of their ‘opinions into the minds of our slnvus: working | silently, tdowly, insidiously, but cmistiintly aud j surely till, a* they lin'q;iih. they shall be able to ! kindle fire fire of Fer . !!c inlflrreetiox which shall | wrap in flame* and involve in rain the whole broad expanse of mir now happy ami prosperous Southern country.

Whence come all (he fires of which wo rcud lately ? Is it at all probable that so many in so short u lime, are the result, of accident ? Not lung since four towns in Georgiu Atlanta, Griffin, Newiuin and Warruulon were on fire about tho same time ; ami while hrese were burn ing, tbe llutuus were sweeping over the capital of uur youagor sitter.

At the same time, could wo k now who of them arc friends,worthy of our confidence and countenance, nothing would delight its more than to take such qnitlemm by hand, and welcome them to our firesides with all the warmth of hospitality for which Southerners are celebrated. But it is impossible for us to make the distinc tion, and we must, in some way, reach those who ore guilty, If wo would maintain our position; if wo would retain our property: if we would pre serve our koine* from de*dutiou, and our mat rons rind maids from horrid deutlis, and deep, dimming dishonor, ton thousund times worse than death —dishorn, t, the recollection of which wonld deservedly blast our hearts and sear our brains, should wc he so unfortunate as to sur vive with our lives—ip short if we would avoid all the frightful evils which would ottcud the first stages of a gunerai servile war, we must drive hack the horde of miscreants who come every year to spy oat our land.

It is right end proper fl,r our State Lo gislalures to take such action an they may think bust—to pass such laws as are calculated to pro tect us.

At the risk of doing injustice to a great umny Northern men who mono among us, merely with tho view of improving their private fortunes, and who at tend strictly to thuir own business, leaving us to manage ours, we must set our faces against im migration into our borders from the North.— Especially must we frown upon all itinerants and straggler* from beyond Mason A Dixun’s line.— Let us trade with our owu merchants, employ our own teachers, give work to our own me chanics. Let ua, iu no instance, Crude with a fresh Yankee merchant, employ a raw Yankeo teacher or mechuuic, or in any manner tolerate a Yankee peddler. Let them all bo placed un der a hail. Let them all be watched, and let them know that they are objects of suspicion.

Dear Sir : 1 b*v* with great interest, the course you have pa rawed since yon were a member of the'Senate of the United States. You might suppose, from my being a resident of u Northern Stale, that I would have disapproved that aoitrsu. So tar from that, I should proba bly, if in the “ame position, pursued a similar course. You seem to mo to have bad a njorejust appreciation of the temper and spirit of the North, than any other public man of tbe South, unlas* Mr. Calhoun be excepted. if we revert for explication of the political problem of the day, to uur more early history, we shall find that New England, iu the first de cade of thu Constitution of the United Status, had atruady organized a aectional war. The citation of Mr. Jefferson suspended, but did not terminate it. It revived with tliff embargo, and reuolu-d a crisis in the war of 1812. The committee from the Hartford Convention, wailed at Baltimore to upon negotiation* with Mr. Madison's government, until the new* of the battle of New Orleans, succeeded by th* specifi cation at Ghent, wont them borne disc mfilted. The Hartford Convention conspiracy wo* ffttal to the Federal l'arly. Though but u boy then, I remember that in 1842, ‘12,'14, the chief capital stroke of the Federalists consisted in the antipa thy to which Urey had uxuited at the North. And now. thin is the cpit*l stroke of the Re publican party. 1 regret to say that (Bis untipa thy is not confined to the Repub icau* ; it infect* mure or less all parties aud clhhhc*. Moderate men, heretofore belonging to the conservative or der, manifest this antipathy, as well as oihsrs who act upon fanatical principle*. Thu secret fimt vaunt of this sectional hostility to the South, is the lust of power. The North feel* its strength now, more than ever, and oanuot submit *ny longer to play a subordinate part. But the North cannot eoncentrute tin ntreugth, except in u sec tional controversy. The aatuts leaders who have organized the Republican party, are well aware of this. For tbe first time in tho iiDtvry of the oouutry, the N r < rth was ojuipaet'y arrayed against the bouth in 185 G, Nothing saved us but tbe American organization in three or lour Stales.— “That has now, in a great mes Miro. -oicrumbed Li the anti-slavery furor.

I voted cheerfully for its repeal, und in doing that I east uo reflection upon thu wise pa triot* tliut. acquiesced j, r jt gs tbe time it was es taWished.

The Democratic party, aided by most of the geiuicmeti from tlio South, took the opposite view of the case. Our obje< t was, if posstble, to withdrew that question from the halls of Congress, and place it where it could no longer rink the public welfare and the public interest. In the Uongress of the Unfeed States it bad been agitated all the time, to the disadvantage of the South ; accordingly (I have O'-t a ‘‘"p.v of the hill before me now, but 1 re in, inl.cr us leading provision*,) a bill was passed repealing the .Missouri Line, and leaving those furrituries upon the contract and tbe assertion that the bill made. Did we intend by it to legis late slavery into Kansas and Nebraska ? We de nied that, aud denied it upon tho face of the bill itself. The settlement thus made afterward re ceived the approval of the people ut the whole umitkiry. Tho bill said within itself, not that wo intend to legislate slavery inti, the Territories, hut to leiivc the people free to form their own domestic institution*, subject only to the Constitution of the United States. That wa* us much a* we could agree upon There whs a point upon which we could uot agree. A considerable portiou of tii® Nor the iu Democracy held that slavery whh iu deregut ion of uniumor. right, aud oould only exist by force of positive law. They con tended that tbe constitution did not fiinii*li that law, and that the .slaveholder could not go into tho territories'with his slave*, with ihc ('onstitutiun to authorize and *ustain him in bolding hi* Have*, um property, os to protest him. Tha South gencridly, without distinction “f party, held the opposite view. They held that thu eitizeus of nil the States may go with what ever was recugnizod by tlie Constitution as pro perty, and enjoy it. That did not seem to bwde tiied a* to*any article ®f property except slave*. Accordingly, the bill contained the provision that any question iu reference to slavery should be referred to the Court of tbe United tttetes, and tbs understanding was, (but whatever the judi l iai decision should be, it would be binding upon all particH, not only by virtue of the agreement, but under the obligation of tbe citizens to respect the authority qf the legally constituted Courts of the country. slave cone. 1f pn aent remedies are adequate to sustain this decision, 1 would have nothing more done i. with many other public men in the country, believe they are able. If they uru nut—if they can not be enforced for want ot priqier legislation to enforce them, *uflb'ient legislation must be passed or our government is a failure.

Al thu same time, fellow citizens, l make no hesitation m saying to you that l trust tbe time w ill never come, wheb it way be deemed necessa ry for the Congress of the United Flutes in any form to interfere with this question iu the Terri* lories. So far it ha* been only productive ofevil to us, und it would pnrtuml imly evil in the fu mre. At p.'eseiii there l* no question before C'eu gress. No Southern Uepresuutative or Senator proposes legislation on that point—no complaint comes from any Territory-—there is no ovidouee that the existing law* aud decisions of thu courts are not adequate to protect every description of pro|erty recognised by the several Stale*. None whatever. Therefore, iu in.v opinion, and I sub mit if humi fy md with deference, our true pol cy is not p iiitttQluaie trouble, but to let thu matter rent upon tbe Executive, upon tbe exit-ting laws, and upon the decision*ot the courts. [Applause.] 1 will add this, we must never give up the prin ciple, we must never give up the question that ha been judicially decided, that this constitu tional right exist*. We must stand by that de cision. We must hold to our constitutional right* hm | would never prematurely raise the question to distract tho eouutry when there is no voice ■ a'ling for it, North, Fast, South, or West. [Ap plause.] I say we must bold to tbe principle— we muei stand by U. We Maud in a good posi tion. We have the Executive, wc have tho laws, we have file decision* of tbo courts, and that is a great advance from where wo stood ten years 1 Hiu glad, although wt did nut succeed a* we desired in Kansas, I am glad that tbe Territorial question is nearly tough uk t i* niwrly fought ■ ail. I know of no (Kitting Territory* where this question can rise. As to the territory south ol the line, where slave iab <r is real I v profitable, I have not a doubt hnt ‘iat tbe climate aud in j i-rest, mid the prox-uiity of slavoboledrs, aud the , ufttitu ion r*4 laws, and tii* deeixion of the Court, will usiain and protect u* there in tho foil enjoyiii*** l ‘d'oitr riglit*, and in niakinx Houthern terr'** ,r y out f Soutiiern soil. While I would uot ~v up the principle, I lievi-l have believed, aud 1 do not Indit ve uow,ih the possibility of slavery planting itself in a Territory against tbe deter mined opposition of the inhabitants, any more than Ib. liOvu the iusliifftiim of slavery could onntinue iii existence in Kentucky for ihree year* against the dr sire of the voter* of the I'ominon wonlth, even with tbe constitutional restrictions that are hero throw n around it. Still, 1 would Save the question and the prin ciple, aud never let go the constitutional right, he -auss unrprotection iu th# Union consists in a strict adlo rouce to the provisions -of the Con- Htitntlon. When we Row an lufrsetien of tbe Constitution <>u any otio point, w 103 our elaiui “to the observance of the whole. We should in sist to the hist that thu Constitution of. the ooun try shall be sustained in evury particular.
