State Governments, and to compel them by force to tho adoption of or? ganic laws and regulations which they are unwilling to accept if left to them? selves. The negroes have not asked for the privilege of voting-the vast majority of them have no idea what it means. This bill not ouly thrusts it into their hands, but compels them as well as the whites to use it in a particular way. If they do not form a Constitution with prescribed arti? cles in it, and afterwards elect a Le? gislature which will act upon certain measures ina prescribed way, neither blacks nor whites can bc relieved from the slavery which the bill im? poses upon them. Without pausing here to consider the policy or impo? licy of Africanizing the Southern part of our territory, 1 would simply ask the attention of Congress to that manifest, well-known and universally acknowledged nile of constitutional law, which declares that the Federal Government has no jurisdiction, au? thority or power to regulate such subjects for any State. To force the right of suffrage out of the hards of the white people and into the bauds of the negroes is an arbitrary viola? tion of this principle. The bill imposes martial law at once, and its operations will begin so soon as the C-neral and his troops can be put in place. Thc dread alternative between its harsh rule and compliance with thc terms of this measure is not suspended, nor are the people afforded any time for free deliberation. The bili says to them, take martial law first, then deliberate. And when they have done all that this measure requires them to do, other conditions and contingencies, over which they have nu control, yet remain to be fulfilled before they can be relieved from martial law. An? other Congress must first approve the constitutions made in conformity with the will of this Congress, and must declare these States entitled to representation in both Houses. The whole question thus remains open and unsettled, and must again occupy the attention of Congress, and in the meantime the agitation which now prevails will continue to disturb all portions of the people. The bill also denies thc legality of the Governments of ten of the States which participated in the ratification of the amendment to the Federal Con? stitution abolishing slavery forevei within thc jurisdiction of the United States, and practically excludes then: from the Union. If this assumption of the bill be correct, their concur renee cannot bo considered as having been legally given, and the importan fact is made to appear that the con sent of three-fourths of the States the requisite nun.ocr-has not beei constitutionally obtained to the rati fication tl that amendment, thu leaving the question of slavery wher it stood before the amendment wa officially declared to have become part of the Constitution. That the measure proposed by tiri bill does violate the Constitution ii the particulars mentioned, and ii many other ways which I forbear t enumerate, is too clear to admit c the least doubt. It only remains t consider whether the injunctions t that instrument ought tobe obeye or not. I think they ought to b obeyed, for reasons which I will prc ceed to give as briefly as possible. In the first place, it is the oui system of free government which w can hope to have as a nation. Whe it ceases to be the rule of our coi duet, we may, perhaps, take or choice between complete anarchy, consolidated despotism and a tob dissolution of the Union; but ns tiona! liberty, regulated by law, wi have passed beyond our reach. It is the best frame of Govern mei the world ever saw. No other is, ( can be, so well adapted to the geniu habits or wants of the American pei pie. Combining the strength of great empire with unspeakable hies i.ugs of local self-government-bavir a central power to defend the goner interests, and recognizing theautho ity of the Stales as the guardians i individual rights, it is the "abe anchor of our safety abroad and 01 peace at home." It was ordained "form amore perfect union, establii justice, insure domestic tranquility promote the general welfare, provii for the common defence1, und seen the blessings of liberty to ourselv and to our posterity."' These gre ends have been attained heretofoi and will be again, by faithful oh dience to it, but they are certain be lost if we treat with disregard i sacred obligations. It was to punish the gross crime defying the Constitution, and to vi dicate its supreme authority, that 1 carried on a bloody war of lour yea duration. Shall v. e now acknowled that we sacrificed millions of liv and expended billions of treasure enforce a Constitution winch is n worthy of respect and preservation? Those who advocated the right secession alleged, in their own iusti cation, thai we had no regard i law, and that their rights of proper! life and liberty would not be si under the Constitution as admiuist ed by us. If we now verify tin assertion, we provo that they w< in truth and in fact fighting for tb liberty, and instead of branding th leaders with thc dishonoring name traitors against a righteous aud lej Government, wo elevate them in h tory to the rank of self-sacrificing ] triots, consecrate them to the ad: ration of the world, and place tb by tlie side of Washington, Ham pt and Sidney. No; let us leave tb 4 I to the infamy they deserve, punish I them as they should be punished, ac cording to law, and take upon our? selves no share of the odum which I they should bear .-done. It is a part of our public history which eau never be forgotten, that both Houses of Congress, in July, 1861, declared, in the form of a so? lemn resolution, that the war was and should be carried on for no purpose of subjugation, but solely to enforce the Constitution and laws; and that, when this was yielded by the parties in rebellion, the contest should cease, with the constitutional rights of the States and of individuals unimpaired. This resolution was adopted and sent forth to the world unanimously by the Senate, and with only two dissenting voices in the House. It was accepted by the friends of the Union in the South, as well as in the North, as ex? pressing honestly aud truly the object of the war. On the faith of it, many thousands of persons in both aections gave their lives and their fortunes to the cause. To repudiate it, now by refusing to the States and io the in? dividuals within them thc rights which the Constitution and laws of tiio Union would secure to them, isa breach of our plighted honor, for which I can imagine no excuse, and to which I oaunot voluntarily become a party. The evils which spring from tho unsettled state of our Government will bu acknowledged by ali. Com? mercial intercourse is impeded, capi? tal is in constant peril, public securi? ties fluctuate in value, peace itself is not secure, and the sense of moral and political duty is impaired. Te avert these calamities from our coun? try, it is imperatively required that we should immediately decide upon sonic course of administration which can be steadfastly adhered to. I am thoroughly convinced that any set? tlement, or compromise, or plan oi action which is inconsistent with tin principles of thc Constitution, wil not only be unavailing, but mis chievous; that it will but multiply the present evils instead of removing them. The Constitution, initswhoh integrity and vigor, throughout tin length and breadth of the land, is tin best of all compromises. Besides our duty does not, in my judgment leave us a choice between that am any other. I believe that it contain the remedy that is so much needed and that if the co-ordinate branche of the Government would uniteupoi its provisions, they would be fou m broad enough and tr on g enough t sustain, in time of peace, the liatioi w hich they bore safely through th ordeal of a protracted civil wai Aruoug the most sacred guarantees c that instrument are those which ch clare that "each State shall have ? least one Representative," and thr "no State, without its consent, sha bo deprived of its equal suffrage i the Senate." Each House is mail the "judge of the elections, returr and qualifications of its own men hers," and may, "with the con?u renee of two-thirds, expel a men ber." Thus, as heretofore urge< "in the admission of Senators an Representatives from any and all ( the States, there can bc no ju ground of apprehension that perso) who are disloyal will be clothed wit the powers of legislation; for th could not happen when the Constiti tion and the laws aro enforced by vigilant and faithful Congress "When a Senator or Repr?sentatif presents his certificate of election, 1 may at once be admitted or rejecte or, should there be any question to his eligibility, his credentials im be referred for investigation to tl appropriate committee. If admitb to a seat, it must be upon eviden satisfactory to the House of which ? thus becomes a member, that he pc sesscs the requisite constitutional ai legal qnahiieations. If refused admission as a memb for want of due allegiance to the G vern ment, and returned to his ce stituents, they are admonished th none but persons loyal to the Unit States will be allowed a voice in t legislative councils of the nation, a the political power and moral inf once of Congress are thus effective exerted in the interests of loyalty the Government and fidelity to t Union." And is it not far better tl the work of restoration should accomplished by simple compliar. with the plain requirements of t Constitution, than by a recourse measures which in effect destroy t States, and threaten thc subversion the General Governments All tl is necessary to settle this simple 1 important question, without i'urtl agitation or delay, is a willingness the part of di to sustain the Con: tution and carry its provision ii practical operation. If to-morrow either branch of Ci gross would declare that, upon ' presentation of their credentb members constitutionally elected t loyal to the General Governm would be admitted t o seats in O gross, while ail others would be eluded, and their places remain cant until the selection by the peo of loyal and qualified persons; anil at the same time, assuranco w given that this policy would be c tinned until all the Stn tes were ref sen ted in Congress, it would som thrill of joy throughout the en! land, as indicating the inaugur?t of a system which must speec bring tranquility to the public mi While we are legislating upon s jeets which aro of great importa to the whole people, and which m affect all parts of the country. ouly during the life of the present ! generation, but for ages to coinr?, we j should remember that all men are ! entitled, at least, to a hearing in the ! councils which decide upon the desti I ny of themselves and their children. I At present, ten States are denied representation, and when the For? tieth Congress assembles, on tho fourth day of the present month, six? teen States will be without a voice in j the Bouse of Representatives. This j grave fact, with the important ques I tiotis before us, should induce us to j pause in a course of legislation w hich, ! looking solely to the attainment of ! political ends, fails to consider the j rights it transgresses, tho law which it violates, or the institution which it imperils. ANDREW JOHNSON. WASHINOION, March "2. 1867. COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, March 6, 1S67. A tl vice Gratis. I The Northern journals an? very prolific just now in the amount of ad vice generously and gratuitously given to the people of the Southern States. We once iiad sunn.' regard for the counsels of the New York World, but whatever truth may be in the followingbrief paragraph, the sug? gestion made therein is very unwise: "If the Southern people should re? sist the execution of martial law by force, they would be fighting in as righteous a cause as any in which a patriot ever drew his sword. Armed resistance is the natural and appro? priate mode of redress for such lla grant injustice as is now meditated against the South. 'Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.' The only good reason for not appealing to arms JU this conjuncture, is the hope? lessness of success." "Armed resistance" is all played out. Northern Democrats, long be? fore the opening of the late civil strife, if they did not actually coun? sel resistance, they said just the above substantially - that ti.c. South should not stand the encroachments of thc New England fanatics, and all that sort of stuff; bul the moment the first gan was tired -presto chango! they assumed the title of "War De? mocrats,"' und acted up to their pro? fessions with a vim that even out? stripped tho radical party. No; the j people of these States, thrust out of the Union as they are, have had enough of fighting for years to come. We have tried that remedy, and it failed completely. We are worse off to-day than when Fort Sumter sur? rendered to Gen. Beauregard. The man who counsels armed resistance is no friend of the South nor of his country. We have just emerged from a gi J gautic and bloody civil war, and it j has left us (down this way) prostrate : and impoverished to such an extent that ten years will ?ot reinstate us in our former position. The Southern people want peace; if we cannot get restoration on our terms, wc cannot help it; but above all other consider? ations, it is imperative, if we wish even to live, that we should avoid any I further collisions as a section. Such j a courue would prolong indefinitely j the return of peaceful reconstruction, and would only impoverish us still moro as a people. As the New York ? Sun sajTs, the South can do nothing I whatever in shaping the policy bv : which she shall be recognized. Ni j good can be accomplished by bewail ? ing the cruelty of fortune; and there ' fore, it is thal they must droj I politics at once, and turn their atten j tion to the cultivation of their soil I and especially to raising the mean: j of support. Another season ough j not to find them dependent on th? I charities of the North for food. No I hie aud prompt as that charity ha: j been exercised, yet it will not do t< ; rely upon its continuance. ! The people of the South have ; soil and climate which with a nev j organization of labor, cither white o black, are all sufficient, not only ti make themselves self-sustaining am j independent, but to start them on : career ol prosperity they have neve enjoyed in the palmiest days of th i PASFC As to politics, it will be seen, trim our despatches yesterday, that tin j people of Georgia aro taking actioi in relation to the military law. Thi is a question-acceptance or non j acceptance of the terms proffered 1 which the people ought calmly to de cide for themselves, and after th? I decision has been made, shut up th j book, and let the volume of politic remain unopened until we have re gained, in some measure, that pros perity which tho fortunes of war de j prived us of.

The New York Herald gives Phi? neas T. Barnum an airing on his nomination to Congress, and says He is just as complete a humbug in politics as he was a showman.

By all n. ans let Barnum bi elected.
