AUGUSTA. G A:
Satudny Evening, Feb. !JO, 1858.
Nature of an “Enabling Act.”
The highest and most important ex
ercise of sovereign power, is the estab
lishment of organic law. In this coun
try organic law emanates chiefly from
the people and the “powers not therein
delegated by the people are reserved to
them.” The people of the United
States are governed by two organic
laws which can never clash : First by
State Constitutions, and second by the
Federal Constitution. Again, let it be
borne in mind, the sovereignty is in
the people governed —not at all in an)
legislative body. The denial of this po
sition would shock the most rabid Black
Bcpublican. As regards the govern
ment of the citizens of the different
States the position is not denied, North
or South.
But a difference of opinion has long
existed touching the government of the
Territories. The people of the Northern
States being anxious to accomplish cer
tain schemes, have practically, often
avowedly, denied that there is such a
thing as sovereignty in the people of a
Territory. It is true that they did
abandon the position when California
applied for admission with a free Con
stitution. But they denied it in the
Missouri Compromise, and sought to des
troy it by Wn. mot's Proviso. They are
now seeking to wrest it from the inhab
itants of Kansas by killing the Lecomp
ton Constitution.
The Northern people have claimed
for Congress as much power over the
Territories, as could be delegated by the
Federal Constitution and hv a Freesoil
Constitution. They have asserted the
existence of as much power in Congress
over the Territories as over States, and
an additional amount over the Territo
ries, delegated by the clause in the Fed
eral Constitution for needful “rules and
regulations.’’ This clause they have
contended gives to Congress unlimited
power over the Territories; either to
establish or forbid slavery, among other
things. They assume that Congress has a
discretionary power over the subject of
slavery in the Territories. The Wil
noT Proviso was based upon that as
sumption, and a necessary corollary up
on it is that Congress may refuse admis
sion as a State, to any Territory for any
cause which a majority may deem suffi
cient. In other words they deny to
the inhabitants of a Territory the power
to become a State except by the permis
sion of the existing States. This is a to
tal denial of sovereign power in the peo
ple of a Territory. It rejects the so-call
ed doctrine of non-intervention.
On the other hand, the South denies
that the clause for “needful rules, &c.,"
delegates to Congress any extraordinary
power. They assert that the right to
govern themselves, subject only to the
United States Constitution, is inherent
in the people of the Territories. That,
as they have no organic law except the
Federal Constitution, all their legisla
tion must proceed under and derive vi
tality from that Constitution. They
are entitled to a representative govern
ment, and as they have no representa
tive voice in Congress, they are allowed
a Territorial Legislature; but the Con
stitution has provided them with an Ex
ecutive, and therefore they cannot fill
that department for themselves. This
position is based upon the principle that
sovereignty in the Territories is the peo
ple of the Territories, and that it is they
who have delegated to Congress certain
specific powers over themselves. The
territorial people are as much parties to
theFcdcral Constitution asthepeopleof
any State. They have delegated to
Congress the right to insist upon a re
publican form of government for them
selves ; hut they have not delegated
the power to inhibit slavery for them
selves, nor to refuse tlieir admission to
the Union. They have not transferred
to any body the right to establish anor
ganic law. That is one of the inaliena
ble rights, not transferable, because
from the very nature of the case there is
no thing or person on earth to whom it
could he transferred.
Now, anything in the nature of a per
mission from Congress to the people of
a Territory to form an organic law is an
impossiblity, since Congress cannot
transfer a power to do a thing which
they cannot do themselves. They can
neither prevent nor “enable” tiiat
which they have no power over. This
is Southern ground, however much
Southern men may have stepped off it
at times.
The arch-hypocrite, S. A. Douglas,
was the first, we believe, to broach the
idea that the Lecompton Constitution
was defective for the want of an “ena
bling act,” by which is meant an act
authorizing the people of Kansas to
form a Constitution and apply for ad
mission to the Union. He did that for
a purpose. Th'S shrewdness wasas man
ifest In that as in anything else that he
does. He seeks to furnish to Southern
demagogues an argument with which
to relieve the consciences of the “Geor
gia Platform” men. It would not do to
drive these men to the wall by rejecting
the Lecompton Constitution, but he
thinks it will do to assume that it was
no Constitution for the want of an “en' j
abling act.” If the Lecompton Consti
tution is rejected, we believe thatDoco
las’ argument about ar. “enabling act'
will be the principal excuse which will
be made to the people of Georgia by her
three most sophistical demagogues.
The State of Georgia Is pledged to
disrupt the ties “ that hind her to the
Union” if Kansas is refused admission
upon the lecompton Constitution. If
this pledge stands upon principle, it
must be the principle that Congress has
10 Constitutional power to reject her:
But if Congress has no power to reject,
how can they have the power to ‘ ‘enable.
What do “ Georgia Platform ” men in
tend to do if Congress insists upon the
power to reject for the want of an “ena
bling act V Will they stick to the 1
spirit of their pledge and disrupt
What a strange silence throughout the
State! What apathy! Has Federal
tyrany, by party machinery, crushed
out all resistance ?
Let the people of the South under
stand and maintain these two doc
l
trines.
Ist. The people of Kansas and of all j
other Territories are already in the Un
ion, because they are parties to the Fed
eral Constitution.
2nd. No power on earth can rightful
ly prevent them from establishing an or
ganic law to regulate the powers, not
already delegated to Congress.

Best Joke or the Season-
I Such as our readers as are conversent
with the game of Vinyl un, will laugh
over the following good one, which ap-
I peared originally, wo believe in the Mo- ■
bile Mercury. It is beyond all question
I the best joke of the season :
We have a friend—or, with theempha-
J sis of the inimitable Toodles, we have a :
r friend, who, for tire nonce, we shall calif
a “ the Major,” though his right to the
prefix is somewhat questionable. Now 1
1 the Major lias had, through life, one be
■' setting sin, and that is an unconquera
hie love of a certain game of cards
_ known as vinyl un, which is the French
for twenty one. This well-known game,
a fat wife and a large family, are about
y the only weaknesses that can he laid to
the Major’s charge. How often he has
been married the record sayetli not, nor
0 is it important. Suffice it that during
r over thirty odd years of the Major’s
wedded life, as his wealthincreased and
his hairs become gray, one after anoth
'■ er, in regular succession, his hoard was
» honored with the presence of miniature
editions of himself, until the number j
had reached twenty, when the Major
concluded things had gone far enough
s and should be stopped. But they
’ did'nt, as the Major in due time found
out. for he had calculated without con
i' suiting his wife. There were indica
o tions of another bond of union and well
c spring of happiness. The Major became
nervous,forhisnomenclature was exhans
4 ted. In his desperation, he finally de
- dared that the coming heir to his name
> and fortunes, whether boy or girl,should
be named vinyl un.
In vain the old woman remonstrated.
■ The Major was inexorable. The new
comer, being the twenty-first, should 1
wag his way through life witli that ap- j
propriatc title. In an ante room the
Major awaited the announcement of
the little stranger’s sex. The nurse ap
peared, and to the Major’s horror, wliis- j
pered the terrible word — twins! “Bus- 1
ted, by thunder,” yelled the Major “why ,
did'nt l stand on twenty ?”

Religious Observances nt West 1
Point.
The Cadets at West Point are said to
be in a state of rebellion against the re
ligious rites ami observances prescribed
by ttic sacerdotal functionary of that 1 1
Institution. The Chaplain there is
Ilev. Mr. French, an Episcopal clergy- .
man, formerly of New York, who was
appointed to the post during the late 1
, Presidential campaign, just after he
had published an affidavit that lie he- I
lieved Fremont to he a Roman Catho-j
lie, although he had baptized two of h
his children into his own church. The i
Cadets, of course, are of various per- i
suasions; but the form of service at the 1
Military Academy, under Mr. French’s i
administration, is Episcopalian alone.— •
Not long since the Chaplain read the
Cadets a severe lecture for their inat- ]
tention to the religious services—at
which all are required to lie present— 1
and especially because of their failure '
to make the customary responses, to 1
kneel at the places, appointed in the I
Episcopal services, &c. Major Delafield,
the Military Commandant at the Point, i
followed up the lecture, it is stated, 1
with a declaration to the Cadets that he
should in future demand these obser
vances of religious forms from every
one of them, as a matter of discipline.
Against this the Cadets rebel—and 1
understand that they havo agreed—j
Episcopalians and all— not to make the!
responses unless Major Delafield rises
in the chapel and gives the word of
command in military style.
Seizure of the Steamers*
The steamers of the Collins line are in
the hands of the sheriff of New York.
Messrs. Brown Brothers, it is stated,
, have sued out a writ of execution for
$636,890 against the New York and
Liverpool Mail Steamship Company, and
t the steamers of the line have been at

from the 28th of January, tin* dateof the
execution, have been allowed the com*

Lntcr from California.
| By the arrival last night of the steam
; ship Empire City we have tiles of Cali
l fornia papers to the 20th ult. From
’ the Alta California we extract the fol
lowing summary of intelligence :
The past fortnight lias presented no
thing of interest to our Atlantic readers.
Business has slowly but steadily im
proved. The weather lias been mild
j and pleasant ; many new buildings are ,
going up, and a general manifesta
tion of enterprise is apparent.
On the 10th inst., an association was ‘
formed in this city, called the “ Ban
Francisco Corn Exchange.” Its object
is to establish an maintain the usages of l
trade: to appoint an Inspector of Flour;
to fix the standard grade of flour, and
the weight per barrel ; to act as a Court
of Arbitration, and to take action in
such cases where the general interests of
the members are concerned.
The new State Administration went
into power on the Bth inst. Ou that
i day, Governor Johnson (delivered his
last annual message, and Governor
John B. Weller his inaugural.
Johnson’s message was a very long
one. He reports the total amount of
taxable property in the State to be sl3l ,-
806,268,an increaseof $18,349,267 during
the previous year. The total indebted
ness of the State is $3,893,294, the an
nual revenue $1,152,234, and the annu
al expenditure $699,803. On the first
day of 1858, there were $851,222 in
cash in the State Treasury. Gov.
Johnson says the Constitutional Con
vention scheme was defeated by the
popular vote. *
He recommends the construction of a
State Capitol and a State House of Re
fuge; the passage of laws defining the
qualifications of physicians and drug
gists, and amending the laws relating
to insolvencies, divorces, attachments,
sole traders, homesteads, the evidence j
of Chinamen, and the Congressional
election. He recommends also that an |
act shall he passed for the protection!
of settlers.
Governor Weller delivered a brief in- 1
! augural. He commences by saying that
: lie will use the whole power oi the State
| to put down any organization hostile to
j the dominion of the State courts. He
! says a law should be passed to protect
improvements made in good faith by
settlors on‘other people’s lands, hints
that mining claims should' be taxed ;
condemns paper money ; calls for a Pa
cific Railroad, and remonstrates against
the discussion andagitation of the slave
ry question.
Both messages have been favorably
by the press and the public at large.—

J Safety of In vestment* 1» Real Estate.
We lind a very sensible article in the
February number of Hunt’s AfercJiant'*
Magazine upon real estate investments
and usury. It is worthy the considera
tion of both borrowers and lenders :
“Weagree with the economical wri
ter in the Philadelphia Ixdger, that in
the long run, those men get to be the
richest, as all past experience proves,
who invest most of their surplus capi
tal in good mortgages and real estate.
It is astonishing how fast a fortune ac
cumulates, even at 0 per cent., if divi
dends and rents are invested quarterly,
or even semi-annually. Investments
in real securities, rarely, or never, bring
loss ; and hence, there is no drawback
ion the compounding interest. The fact
is notorious, that, of the Philadelphia
families who were rich a century ago,
only those remain rich that keep the
bulk of their wealth in real estate. No
business man can afford, for any long
period, to pay two per cent, for money.
To demand such high rates, is, there
fore, not sound policy in the capitalists;
and the history of the rich in this, or
any other city, if traced back a hun
dred years, affords abundaut proof of
this. It is wiser, believe us, not to
i ‘kill the goose that lays the golden
jeggs.”

j When to Advertise. —There are, says
!an exchange, shrewd people in this
! world. Take, for instance, business
linen who “can’t afford” to advertise
• during the hard times. These are the
| times when our really shrewd men
! make money. They launch out boldly
j with their advertisements and secure
> custom, while others who “can’t afford
; to throw away money,” as they say,
groan through it all, and lay the lack of
custom to the hard times. People are
sensible—they know that the man who
advertises liberally is a good fellow to
I deal with, and they know that mer
chants that “ can’t afford” to advertise
“ can’t afford ” to give good bargains.

1 ~p"The Great Problem
1 Solved:—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR-
ItIAL —The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
t life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
; course of this extraordinary Ernie. The gastric
, fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
' paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
. basis of activity, strength and heulth.
' The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
; or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
i rors, wakened by periodical fit-, threatened with
' paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
1 terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack or
’ nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
’ or disability arisingfrom the unnatural condition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, me

■ from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
f invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
1 organization.
1 Females who have tried it are unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hands of
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material
: which is to be subjected to their action. As an
s appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overw’orn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, tbo individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediate and permanent roll f from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
against that terrible ’are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease os it exists, without re
lercnce to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con

K&"Jlair Dye is Vile Wash,
but the article that will naturally restore the f
color of the hair, the changing of which to gray
being an indication of a lack of proper secretions,
is truly a valuable medicine. Professor Wood’s
HAIR TONIC, if the certificates of the leading f
minds over the Union do not falsify, is the only -
safe remedy lor baldness, dryness, premature
change of color, and the several evidences of a
lack of secretions at the roots of the hair, which
can be found. Quack j reparations abound, aud
hair tonics’ till every ‘corner grocery’ in the r
country. Avoid all ‘hair tonics’ unless known
t<i be the preparation of some man whose cele
■ brity has become world-wide. Do not let any _
j nostrum vender experiment upon your hair.
! Touch nothing you have not good reason to be .
Hove is all that it purports to be. Prof. Wood
has earned by years of St vero test ol' the virtues
of his preparation, his present fame. Over 150
certificates are before us of the value of this -
hair restorative, from all parties who have tried
it. Use no other. *
Caution.—Beware of worthless imitations as j
several are already in the market called by dii 4
