CONVENTION.
Letter from Judnt B. R. Curtis.
Pittsfield, Mass., July 25, 1866.
Hon. O. Browning, Washington :
Dear Sir : I thank you for sending
me a copy of the call tor the National
Convention, to be held in Philadel
phia on the 14th day of August next.
In the present unhappy condition of
our national affairs, it seems to me fit
and important that delegates of the
people should come together from all
parts of our country, to manifest, in an
authentic and convincing way, the ad
hesion of their constituents to the fun
damental principles ^ our Govern
ment, and to that policy and course of
action which necessarily result from
them. In my judgment, the proposi
tions contained in the call of the Con
vention are consistent with those prin
ciples and that policy.
The nature of our Government does
not permit the United States to de
stroy a State, or acquire its territory
by conquest. Neither does it permit
the people of a State to destroy the
State, or lawfully affect, in any way,
any one of its relations to the United
States. One is as consistent with our (
Constitution as the other; while that
Constitution remains operative, each
is impossible.
But the Government of the United
States may, and must, in the discharge
of constitutional duty, subdue, by
arms, any number of its rebellious cit
izens into quiet submission to its law
ful authority. And if the officers of a
State, having the actual control of its
government, have disobeyed the re
quirement to swear to support the
Constitution, and have abused the pow
ers of the State by making war on the
United States, this presents the case of
an usurping and unlawful government
of a State, which the United States
may rightfully destroy by force; for,
undoubtedly, the provision of the Con
stitution that “the United States shall
guarantee to every State in this Union
a republican form of government”
must mean a republican form of gov
ernment in harmony with the Consti
tution, and which is so organized as to
be in this Union.
But neither the power and the duty
of the Government of t ,e United
States to subdue by arms rebellious
people in the territorial limits of one
or moreState8, npr its power and duty
to destroy an usurping government de
facto, can possibly authorize the Uni
ted States to destrqy one of the States
of the Union, or, what must amount
to the same thing, to acquire that ab
solute right over its people and its ter
ritory which results from conquest in
foreign war. There are only two al
ternatives: One is, that in subduing re
bellion the United States act rightful
ly within the limits of powers confer
red by the Constitution ; the other is,
that they make war on a part of their
own people because it is the will of
those who control the Government for
the time being to do so, and for such
objects as they may choose to attain.
The last of these alternatives has not
been asserted by either department of
the Government of the United States
at any time, and I doubt if any consid
erable number of persons can be found
to sustain it.
But if the first alternative be adopt
ed, it follows that the Constitution
which authorized the war prescribed
the objects w-hich alone can rightfully
be accomplished by it; and those ob
jects are, not the destruction of one or
more States, but their preservation ;
not the destruction of government in a
State, but the restoration of its gov
ernment to a republican form in har
mony with the Constitution; not the
acquisition of the territory of a State,
and of that absolute control over the
persons and property of its people
which a foreign conqueror would pos
sess, but their submission to the Con
stitution and laws of thr; United States.
But it seems to me a great and funda
mental error to confound the case of
the conquest of a foreign territory and
people with the case of submission to
a lawful and established constitution
al Government, enforced through the
powers conferred on that Government
for that specific purpose.
It is quite true that such a civil con
test may have, and in our country has
had, the proportions of an actual war ;
and that humanity and public law
unite in dictating the application of
rules designed to mitigate its evils and
regulate the conditions upon which it
should be carried on.
But these rules of public law which
concern the rights and power of a con
queror of foreign territory, reduced by
couquest to entire submission, have no
relation to the active prosecution of
war. Their operation begins when
war has ended in submission; they
anfthe laws of a state of peace, and
not of a state of war.
To suppose that the Government of
the United States can, in a state of
peace, rightfully hold and exercise ab
solute and unlimited power over apart
of its territory and people just so long
as it may choose to do, so appears to
of all; and these passions are the
sharp and ready tools of party spirit,
me to be unwarranted by any rules of 1 of self interest, of perversity, and, most
public law, abhorrent to right reason, j of all, of that fierce infatuation which
and inconsistent with the nature of our
Government.
Wheu war has ceased, when the au
thority of the. Constitution and laws
of the United States has been restored
and established, the United States are
in possession, not under a new title,
conquerors, but under their old title,
finds its best satisfaction in hatred, and
its only enjoyment in revenge.
No statesman who is acquainted
with the nature of men and the neces
sities of civil government can contem
plate such passions without the deep
est concern, or fail to do what he fitly
may to allay them. Hard enough the
work will prove to be, at the best.—
He
the
should have permitted her to be
prop and stay of her family.—
Which of these two generous and great
hearted women will obtain the reward
of virtue ?
as the lawful Government of the coun
try; and that title has been vindica-; But a scrupulous regard for the rights
ted, not by the destruction of one or
more States, but by their preservation;
and this preservation can be worked
out practically only by the restoration
cf republican governments organized in
harmony with the Constitution.
The title of a conqueror is necessa
rily inconsistent with a republican
government, which can be found only
by the people themselves, to express
and execute their will.
And if the preservation of the States
within the Union was one ©f the ob
jects of the war, and they can be pre
served only by having republican gov
ernments organized in harmony with
the Constitution, and such govern
ments can be organized only by the
people of those States, then manifest
ly it is not only the right, but the con
stitutional duty of the people of those
States, to organize such governments;
and the Government of the United
States can have no rightful authority
to prohibit their organization. But
this right and duty of the peo
ple of the several States can only
begin when war has ceased, and the
authority of the Constitution and laws
of the United States have been restor
ed and established ; and, from the na
ture of the case, the Government of
the United States must determine
when that time has come.
It is a question of great interest, cer
tainly, but not, I think, of great diffi
culty, how and by whom the Govern
ment of the United States should de
termine when that time has come.
The question whether de facto gov
ernments and hostile populations have
been completely subdued by arms, and
the lawful authority of the United
States restored and established, is a mil
itary and executive question. It does
not require legislative action to ascer
tain the necessary facts; and, from the
nature of the case, legislative action
cannot change or materially affect
them. As commander-in-chief of the
army and navy, and as the chief exe
cutive officer, whose constitutional
duty it is to see that the laws are
faithfully executed, it is the official
duty of the President to know wheth
er a rebellion has been suppressed, and
whether the authority of the Constitu
tion and laws of the United' States has
been completely restored and firm
ly established.
The mere organization of a republi
can government, in harmony with the
Union, by the people of one of the ex
isting States of the United States, re
quires no enabling act of Congress,
and I can find no authority in the Con
stitution for any. interference by Con
gress to prohibit or regulate the or
ganization of such a government by
the people of an existing State of the
Union. On the other hand, it is clear
ly necessary that the President should
act, so far. at least, as to remove out
of the way military restrictions on the
people to assemble and do those acts
which are necessary to reorganize
their government. This, I think, he
was bound to do as soon as he became
satisfied that the right time had come.
After much reflection, and with no
such partiality for Executive power
as would be likely to lead me astray,
I have formed the opinion that the
Southern States are now as rightfully,
and should be as effectually, in the
Union as they were before the mad
ness of their people attempted to carry
them out of it; and in this opinion I
believe a majority of the people of the
Northern States agree.
The work the people are waiting to
have done this Convention may great
ly help. If it will elevate itself above
sectional passions, ignore all party
schemes, despise the sordid and party
scramble for offices, and fairly repre
sent the national instinct that the time
now is when complete Union of all the
States is a fact which it is a crime not
to accomplish, its action cannot fail to
be beneficial to om* country.
The passions generated in a great
and divided by long and bloody civil
war are deep and formidable. They
are not confined to any one section;
the victors, as well as the vanquished,
are swayed by them. They connect
themselves with the purest and best sen-
sibilii ies of our nature; with our love
of country; with our love of those
who have laid down their lives in the
contest; with the sufferings which
war, in multiplied forms, always brings
to the homesof men, and still more to
the homes of women, and which civil
war, most of all, brings to the homes
of all and a magnanimous clemency
are twice blessed; they both elevate
and soften the powerful, and they
reach and subdue what laws and bay
onets cannot control.
I believe there is now a general
conviction among the people that this
great and difficult work is practicable.
That it will long remain so, if the pres
ent state of things continues, I have
not the hardihood to trust. I look to
this Convention with hope that it will
do much to help onward this instinct
ive desire of the people of the United
States for union and harmony and
peace. That it will assert, strongly
mid clearly, those principles which are
the foundations of our Government;
that it will exhibit the connection be
tween their violation and the present
distracted condition of our country;
that it will rebuke the violence of par
ty spirit, and especially of that spirit
of hatred which is as inconsistent with
the true love of our country as it is
with true love of our brethren ; and
that it will do much to convince the
people of the United States that they
must act soon, in the wisest way, or
suffer evils which they and their pos
terity will long deplore.
With great respect, I am your obe
dient servant,
B. R. Curtis.
WAIFS FOB THE LADIES.
The claimants for the Mouthyon
Prize of Virtue, given every year in
Paris, are this year a ballet girl and a
Sister of Charity. Listen to the life of
the Sister of Charity :
She is of high family; has left the
world and all its seductions for a life
of hardships and trial; she is up at
four o’clock in summer, and five
o’clock in winter, and spends her
whole day at her devotions and in at
tendance on the sick. She has begged
for the charge of the contagious ward
at the hospital, and is never loth to
perform those offices from which oth
ers shrink. She has watched the fleet
ing spirit as it passed away, and com
forted the survivors with sweet words
and religious consolation. In her
leisure moments—for she finds even
time for leisure—she works for the
poor children of the patients, and has
clothed with her own hands more than
“BINDING BABY.’
In a stately, high-hacked chair.
Crimson-cushioned, old, aud rare,
Sits a tiny maiden fair,
“Minding baby.”
Solemn and sedate is she,
Sitting gravely, silently;
No old nurse more still could be,
“Minding baby.”
Pretty curls of flaxen hair
(iraee this little maiden fair;
Dressed she is with taste and care,—
“Minding baby.”
Other girls are out at play,
In the green wood, far away ;
Little Lucy loves to stay,
“Minding baby.”
If you ask her, ‘‘Lucy, P r ay,
Why are you so still today T”
“I am busy,” she will say,
‘Miuding baby.’ ”
“Would you not much rather bo
Laughing, romping merrily
Thau remain so silently,
‘Minding babv’ f”
“No,” at once she makes reply:
“Baby will soon wake aud cry;
I must then sing lullaby,
‘Minding baby.' "
“Who lias told you thus to stay
In tills odd, old-lasbioned way,
Sewing, singing, all the day.—
‘Mindi .g baby'!”
“Mother told me,’’ she replies,
Looking up with t hougbtfnl eyes,
Early good aud early wise,—
“Minding baby'.”
“Baby now lies fast asleep.
Hush ! or only gently peep;
Little Lucy watch must keep,
•Minding baby.’”
Ab ! he shows his large black oyes,
Baby wakes; be starts; be cries;
Quickly to bis side she flies,
“Minding baby.”
AH his little fears she calms,
Gently rocks him iti her arms,
Sooths and stills his vain alarms,
“Minding baby.”
Quiet now and still he lies ;
She has cheeked bis childish cries,
Little girl, so good, so wise,
“Minding baby.”
Back again she gently treads ;
On her knee her worksite spreads ;
Swiftly speed the busy threads,—
“Minding baby.”
See her little fingers fly
Fleetly, Deatly, prettily;
Quickly thus the hours pass by,
