with the demand for lalwr so far exceeding

g at ,j,e nmi question, is: while we hay
same written constitution and the forms
,f»republic, have we the eubetanee of that
!v-trw of government ? Do the people rule in
[bis country, or are they ruled? Is the popu-
• i voice the source of law, or is it not ? Have
ire t government of choice, of consent, or one
[)0 ^d to the wishes of the governed ? If
ihe>e questions cannot be answered to-day as
tlltV , T crc ten years ago, then have we changed
our form of government, and embarked on
new political experiment
It is liardlv necessary for us to say that jt is
t fact that We no longer have the free popu
l lf institutions which wc once hud, and that
the government 1ms been materially changed
from" what it was when delivered into our
•. n ,Is by the patriots and statesmen who
. v ! f jt. We will cite hut one proof, and it
siull in no wise be connected with any nrbi
tarr authority that lins been exercised under
the pica of military necessity. It is the pres
et organization of onr ekil government. In
that the idea of popular supremacy has
!*en completely set aside. A minority has
silica possession of the government and as
sumed to dictate laws to the majority. The
rase is even worse: the larger portion of that
majority aro denied nil voice, lot, or part in
the administration cf the government, and on-
1\ know it through the burthens which it im
poses. The Democrats of the Northern States,
united with the inhabitants of the Southern
States, now disfranchised, constitute from
two thirds to three-fourths of the people of
the United States, and yet that small minori
ty ot from a third to a fourth are in supreme
rontrol of the government. This is an alarm
ing fact to the friends of popular institutions,
and should, of itself, arouse every man of the
majority to action lest wc drift into oligar
chy in its most odious form. But the case
is yet worse: Even a departure from the
strict principles of republicanism might be
tolerated if the government be equitable and
just in its roensures. Very far from it in our
That minority are using its usurped
power with more tyranny and oppression than
ever characterized the reign of an irresponsi
ble Eastern king. Their government is dic
tated solely by their cwn thrift, revenge, and
& desire to perpetuate their own unrighteous
reign,
Can such a government stand ? Will the
free people of this country continue to allow
this unprincipled minority to lord it over
them as if they were so'many slaves ? Shall
we perpetuate the despotism of a few, or go
back to the Iwnign institutions of our fathers
that made the voice of the people supreme ?—
These aro the issues for the people to decide—
at the polls if they can, but to decide.

Auitria—A Sketch of Her Generals.
From thc Satut Public, of Lyons, May 35.
Thc really distinguished leaders of the
Austrian army are few in number, and nearly
all well advanced in years. They served in
1813 and 1813 under Prince Schwartzcnburg,
made thc campaign of Hungary in 1849,* that
that of Italy against Charles Albert, and that
of 1859, tbc most important ot all. In cose
of war, those who appear destined to the
principal commands arc the following: The
Archduke Albert, son of the immortal Prince
Charles; Marshal Henry de Ilcsse, Bcncdek,
Schwartzcnburg and Clam Galiis.
Marshal de Hesse is seventydhree years of
age, spare in person, and ot active mind and
habits. His career dates from the battle of
Wagram, in which he took part, being then
in his seventeenth year. It was he who de
cided the Austrian victory over the Pied
montesc in 1848 by the strategical movement
from Verona, and lie took a very active part
in tlic battle ot Novora. Thc Italians regard
him ns a formidable enemy, and admit that
he will give them no littlejtrouble.
Prince Schwartzcnburg is tall, well made,
and very vigorous, notwithstanding his 72
years. In 1843, lie commanded a division of
cavalry in Italy; he distinguished himself at
the battle of Comoro, in Hungary, by prevent-
witli liis division, the insurgents from de
bouching on the right bank of thc Danube.—
At the battle of Magenta lie commanded tbc
third corjit iVarmee, with which he covered
the retreat of the Austrians. At Solfetinohe
was in the left wing, opposed to General
Niell. lie is one of the most brilliant officers
ofthc Austrian army, and is also an author.
Marshal Benedck is only fifty-eiglit. While
a colonel, in 1848, fought in thc campaign
against the Piedmontese. In 1859 he com
manded thc eighth corps at San Martino.—
Since Radctsky’s death he has been first war
rior of Austria. It is probable tlmt lie will
be charged to oppose the Prussians. Tli elife
of Count Clam-Gallas has been very active;
he has shared in all thc wars of Austria since
1848. In Hungary, however, ho only suc
ceeded in vanquishing the aged Gen. Bern
through the aid of the Russians. At present
he commands the first corps of thc Austrian
army at Prague.
Wc must not omit to mention General
Gablcntz, who commanded thc Austrians in
the war against Denmark, and General Ram
ming, to whom Austria was indebted in. the
Hungarian campaign for thc decisive success
obtained at Temesvar.

They arc in earnest in going to work to

noon, between ‘$10,000 and $12,000 in about
three hours, from their greatly v impoverished
members and delegates, many giving half all
they were worth in the world. In this re
spect, I thought some of our Northern Bap
tists might be improved by imitating their
spirit of benevolence and self-denial. They
will at this meeting revive their domestic and
foreign mission work; give a new stitrt to
their theological school at Greenville, S. C.;
send an agent to look after and report, on
their Indian mission work; and pay spicial
attention to their Sabbath School work.
At thc close of the Conventioa, the General
Association of Kentucky meets, but the prin
cipal interest will close with the Convention.
The place of meeting is in a quiet, ueat,
wealthy village, in thc extreme Southern part
of Kentucky. There is located here a very
successful college, under tho management of
brother Rust, who is a leading Baptist of this
State. There is also here a Female Academy,
with other public buildings, which makes it
a place of some note in the State.

we cocceivc to be the true duty of Southern
ers towards the Freedmen.
the Russellville meetings.
To tlte Editor of the Examiner and Chronicle:
Inst, ad of reaching Boston in time to at
tend our meeting thc:v, I vim here, quite un
expectedly to myself, attending the bouthem
Baptist Convention, which met at this place
on Tuesday, May 22d.
It is a large, aide and dignified body of
Christians, and was organized by the appoint
ment of Rev. Dr. Mcll, Professor in the State
University at Athens, Ga., ns President. . He
is ohc ot thc finest presiding officers I ever
saw in a religious body. Ho keeps most per
fect order, and yet is kind and considerate.
Rev. George B. Taylor, of Va., and Rev. Mr.
Yateman, are the Secretaries. Rev. R. Fuller,
D. D., ot Baltimore, preached thc Convention
Sermon from thc words, “According to thy
day, so shall thy strength be.” It was a rich
gospel sermon, and as appropriate for Boston
as Russellville, and in the Doctor’s happiest
strain. The house was crowded, and many
went away, not able to gain admittance.
The meeting is composed of thc ablest men,
and is really a very able body. Tho debates
and addresses have all been marked by a
kind Christian spirit, and displayed marked
ability, and great harmony lias prevailed
throughout the meetings. It seems to be a
gathering of more than usual interest to them
all, as it is nearly four years since they have
had anything of a meeting before. They all
seem to recognize the new order of things in
a good spirit, and have made their Constitu
tion conform to their new relations, and tak
en high ground in favor of the Freedmen, and
acknowledge it to be both their duty and
privilege to do all in their power to elevate,
instruct and Christianize them, and in all
ways to treat them kindly, and satisfy the
colored man that they are his best and truest
friends. The debates on this subject last
evening would have been applauded in Bos
ton. The Report of the Committee on the
Religious Instruction of the Colored People,
which was unanimously adopted by the Con
vention, is as follows:
IlesolTed, That in our changed relations
to the colored people we recognize, as here
tofore, our solemn obligations to give religi
ous instruction to them by all those means
which God has ordained for thc salvation of
men.
Resolved, That wc earnestly recommend
to our brethren to increase thc work of Sun
day school instruction among them, and that,
when practicable, a Sunday school for them
be established in every church.
Resolved, That wc suggest to the pastors of
our churches, thc duty of giving theological
and other instruction to such colored brethren
as are now engaged in preaching, and to such
as. in the judgment of the church, may be
called to this work.
Resolved, That we recommend to our peo
ple to encourage the negroes to establish day-
schools for the instruction of their children,
and also to encourage our young men and
young women to engage in the work of teach
ing them.
Resolved, That, while we arc not opposed
to any right-minded men aiding in this im
portant work, it is our decided conviction,
from our knowledge of the character of these
