Edward Wilder. Esq.: parasols and A full c patriotism and good intention 0 . The serpent induced Eve to eat the forbidden frnit by flat- j tering her. and declaring Lis counsel would do hei good. He greatly desired, he protested, to : improve her condition. From that day to tLis j traitors have been unable to find any better j method to accomplish their purposes. Igno- j ranee is more easily duped than intelligence, 1 and. therefore, knaVes have always been advo- j cates of conferring power on fools: and so, fools have generally thought knaves their best j friends. For this very reason commonwealths —free countries—4ave produced more dema gogues, and hat*become more fearfully the | prey of anarchy than any other form of gov- ; ernment. The people generally mean well.— i They think they follow friends when they fol- ! low those who Hatter them, and they follow with "cheers and a tiger." They go, like the I fatted ox, with pretty ribbons streaming from * his horns, frisking to their own slaughter! Were not they glorious Southern leaders who established the right to carry slaves to Kansas ? What, if God had decreed slavery couid not prosper there, and our fathers had argument, to suggest a few elementary princi ples which all our people ought, in these times, to keep constant!} - beiore them: In all society or government are rights to be enjoved, burdens to be borne, and trusts to be discharged. Among the rights are the right of property, the right of locomotion, the right to appropri ate and dispose of the proceeds of our own labor, the right to worship according to con science. and the right to protection fioin so ciety in the enjoyment of all these rights, and the right to have all the legal processes and remedies provided to make this protection effectual. These are called civil rights, and when we speak of civil equality we mean that under various transparent pretences, excluded obnoxious members from other States. This process el exclusion continued until two- thirds of those remaining were of one evil mind. The executive body, though earnestly denouncing the body as not organized as the Constitution required, yet recognized this frag ment as the Congress. Thus organized and thus recognized, this fragmentary conclave— now became very bold and dictatorial—began to absorb to itself the powers and functions of j every man who votes to carry out votes to set aside the Constitution and subvert j the Government!

With sincere convictions of right ar.d necessity, but in a suicidal way, the Southern States ami people seemed to place themselves in an attitude of hostility to tlie Constitution. And these Northern traitors, who provoked the South to her folly for the very purpose, have ever since been enabled to tickle and divert the minds of the Northern people with the flippant cry of "rebel” and "traitor,” and thus not only unperceived, but in the midst of the wild cheers and mad aid of the giddy, foolish masses, have given the Constitution a thousand stabs. And still the arch-leaders give out tfie key-uote rebel; aud the Babel crowd catch up the refrain, and fools in office cry rebel: and knaves trying to get office cry rebel; preachers of lies and haters from pul pits cry rebel; lunatics in schools cry rebel; aud, foulest of the foul, Southern renegades cry rebel; and the traitors thauk God for the wild distemper of the people, and slab on!— And the poor outraged Constitution, under which our common fathers lived, and loved, and prospered, and which would gather all, black and white, " even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings,” bleeds and reels, and no one will hear her cries or heed her tot tering! Equally insane, but equally favorable to the purpose of the Radicals, is the hypocritical pretence of elevating the black race. All wise or good men everywhere, and more especially those in the South, desire to elevate the black race, but Radical traitors aud their Southern tools alone desire to degrade the white race.— By whatever other means the work may be done, it is certain the black race caurot be leges or rights, by takin dren, lunatics and id.ots do not work the high ways or defend the society with arms, because their position or capacity forbid, but they are all citizens—or members of the society- and pay taxes. These are all burdens because they are borne, not for ourselves oulv, but for oth ers—for the public. Lastly, in every society or government there are trusts to be discharged, offices are to be filled, laws are to be made, executed aud ad ministered—else there could be no rules or process for protection—and agents are to be selected for all these purposes. The whole business of selecting agents tc discharge du- ties, as well as the discharge of the duties rulers auu people, we stu. , - ■ of that glorious moral courage which .jaats and of safety to themselves in the work ? They would laugh and grin, and pass the bills to destroy the Constitution with the glee of the cat which plays with the contortions of its cap tured, dying mouse. In an evil hour the Fves- ident consented—agreed it was his duty—to , execute as law whatever two thirds of this | fragmentary conclave might desire, declare, or j order! “Then I. and yon. and all of us fell down. Whilst bloody treason flourished over us.” I have no doubt the President acted, in this matter, from the purest and most patriotic motives. His coiusC was advised ftud com mended by men distinguished lor ability. He is surrounded by circumstances jiecr.li.irly re sponsible and embarrassing, and every desire of my heart is to help him. and not to say any thing that may weaken any man s faith in him. But the country is passing through a most fear ful ordeal. Everything we all have or can hope for is involved. Errors may ruin, though the motives be angelic, (hi questions of policy or expediency 1 love the yielding, conciliating spirit. 1 despise, from my heart, the bigot or the fanatic. But a principle, a vital principle, should never be abandoned for temporary re lief, nor yielded to conciliate an enemy. The Constitution ought to be administered in a spirit of concession, but no man entrusted to administer it should allow its destruction upon j anv pretence. 1 do believe the idea that the !

The next question, in the natural order ot argument, is this: In what way shall these bills be resisted, or by what remedies shall their enforcement and final establishment be prevented?

The authority to vote is, therefore, a trust reposed, and the exercise of the authority is the exercise of a trust—the trust to select the agents to provide and execute the laws by which rights are to be protected.

Whether either race, and which shall finally gain the mastc-ry, or whether both races can live and rule together as equals :n peace, are questions which good men may discuss, and about which, possibly, even true men may oilier; but one thing is very certain, neither race separately, nor both raxes together can rule or be ruled wisely or peacefully, or with safety to life, property or franchise, by violating and trampling upon the Constitution—the funda mental law for all. He who would, therefore, be a friend to either race must first be a friend to the Constitution. lie who violates the Constitution is an enemy to both races. He who observes the Constitution is a friend to both races. The very reverse of this plain reasoning is every principle which can be adduced to the j support of these Military Bills. These bills j trusts are relative, and born with society, be long to society, and are for the good and under the control of society. How is any man born with a right to take my rights, or to select another to take my rights? Suffrage, then, is not a right—it is not a privilege—it is a trust, a-nd a most solemn trust. It is the trust of preserving society, of scour ging rights, of protecting persons. Would you select an ignorant, or vicious, or untrustworthy man as your trustee, or the trustee for your wife or your child, in tin smallest concerns of life? How. then, would you make a trustee of an ignorant or vicious man to discharge these great duties, on the wise and faithful discharge of which all rights, and ail protection, and all tilings depend ? The burdens of society are light or heavy ; with the prestige of authority and assurances of safety and bles sing and greatness, is persuading our people to eat that forbidden fruit ot using force io preserve a Government of consent, aud of making, by statute, that like aud equal, which God bv nature made unlike and uneqnal, and in so doing to disobey the commands of the Constitution!

But j whatever government and laws we have, let us ; obey them while we have them, and not seek ! to evade them by fraud, or overturn them by j force, for then we have anarchy, which means ; the utter absence of all safety and hope, and the actual presence of every danger, for person, life. Of all enemies to individuals, to society, or to government, he ; who deceives and takes advantage of trusts ; reposed, or power conferred, to injure, slander • or betray, is the meanest, the most cowardly, j and the most dangerous. Therefore, I de- ; nounce the Radicals and all their disciples.

The means proposed cannot' ac complish flic end professed. Both races must go together, or the greater mast eontiol tie less, or 1i:e two must collide. And when the two collide the less must perish, or be drivqp away, or be brought under control, however the greater race may suffer by the collision and the struggle. And life Radicals know this: and, therefore, i the means they propose are not intended to i accomplish the ends they profess. The real j end is to secure these ten States to keep the j Radical party in power in the approaching ' | Presidential election, and this they seek to do j | reckless of consequences to black or white, to ; I the Constitution or Government.

The heavy taxes groans, spring alone from the unfaithful wicked execution of the trusts of our people in selecting agents, and ol the agents in dis charging their duties. Universal, indiscriminate, ignorant and vi cious white suffrage has buried a-milnou ot The framers of the Constitution doubtless supposed they h.id jirovided, or left existing, ample remt burdens too grievous to be borne.

Men born with a right to vote! as they arc bora to breathe the air, or enjoy the proceeds of their own labor! Then why is it that wo men and children and lunatics and idiots are not allowed to vote? They breathe and eat and pay taxes. It is, therefore, the right of society to decide upon whom shall be devolved the trust of pre serving society and administering protection to rights. And it ,s Die duty of society to withhold these trusts from the ignorant and vicious—since the ignorant and vici never b<* entrusted, aud h entrusted, with the exerci which they may rob, or kill, or torture others.
