Here thou was a direct issuo be tween Congress and South Carolina as to whether such a right did still be long to South Carolina, as a defeated Confoderate State, or, in other words, whether South Carolina of 186M was the same in Its relations to the Union as the South Carolina of 1859. Then (1866), this State lad a choice of a formal ab4don mnt. of th oClaimed right and of talk iiig it its stead limited suli rage. Now, howevor, that choice has been denied her; and uilimited suTrage forced at the point of the bayonet up on her, and yet there are men of Mr. Perry's notion that we can effectually resist, or at least neutralize, the pow. er of Congress over us. If Congress has the power to establish a military-eivil Uovern monitt, can it not establish a repub lican government I To resist the progress of that "estab lishing" now is doing just what. those few hot-headed but earnest followers of LE. did, when they broke away from the ine'vitable IrofTess of thatt old veteran'suStrroender to ( RA NT.
