As for conferring suffrage on thc blacks in thc District, hf? was opp .-ed to the bill, until members consented to do ?. in the States at home.

JACOJJ LEVIN, Jan 1? 2 Secretary Oas Company. Pcn.nsylva ei?a. Tho Now York World, of Satur? day, pays its compliments to Gov. Curtin, on lits message to the Legis? lature: Retiring from tho.' Governorship of Pennsylvania, and aspiring to tho Senator's chair which falls vacant in March, Governor Curtin labors in his last message to out-Steven Stevens. Wherefore ho argues-no! he de? claims-fr<;'n the assumption that the Southern Stales have no rights of representation in Congress; from the assumption that the Southern States are not us free to reject as to accept the Howaul amendments; from the assumption that those States aro punishable whoso lately rebellious citizens Congress itself has prescribed in? punishment for; and from various other assumpiio&? equally illogical and extreme, that: "If two-thirds of Congress, as now constituted, could lawfully propose those amendments, then three fourths of the States* not excluded from representation in Congress form a sufficient majority to effect their lawful adoption." Mr. Curtin will wake up some fine morning, and, finding his own argu? ment by accident turned end for end in his mind, will discover with what cogency he has clinched the protests of the Legislatures of each of the excluded Southern States against the legality of tho proposal of constitu? tional amendments which ten States had-no voice in framing. The whole message c>f Gov. Curtin is a pitiable exhibition of feeble facul? ties stooping to low means to reach a high place. A boy who had blown his nose on a cotton handkerchief stamped with the Constitution of the United States should have learned more of ita letter and spirit than this Governor exhibits any knowledge of. And the difference between Thaddeus Stevens' daring defiance of that su? premo law and of tho high court which interprets its provisions, and Mr. Curtin's .strained efforts to re? concile, under the form of a constitu? tional argument, a disunionisni worse than Steven's, with his own ignorance of thc law and his incompetence to reason upon it, makes the former seem respectable by comparison. --o-? ?. -.
