Neotwithstandivg the decision of the Isotoral Co(mmieslon yesterday upon i Lboulisana case, it is very cer taºt that Ilyes cannot become siuldent. The programme of the O)eISmorats will probably be to pre 'wet the election of a President by elh nlog the count until the 4th of oi: rch and to unite with the friends of Oeateor Conklng in electing the latter Sresldent of the Senate. No President bal$t elected either by the College or e rouse, Senator Conkling would be .eme noting President of the United iLtes until a new election could be held ai November, le7, Qf course the con. deration which senator Conkling will laie to give for the support of the Memoorate will be the pledge that he wll not interfere with the ~4oholls and nhmpton governments in LouIsiana sad South Carolina. Th.e New York 2rbute has quitel an tgtiSnal and pleasant way of explaining Se Indicated nlatention of the Electoral S hIbunal to count in Hasenwheeler. It j"el that the Judges are, to a certanl b~tat, under the control of "sub-con. samsbu tendencles," What with the S6ishtus quo," Ineffectual "quo tearran M-," "ae facto " and "sub-consclous dendelnes," God only knows where we M ay land.

The d ie a oast, briday eveolng wit neesed the death of the Amerlea ese publie, ,euietla(l inp paoet Mer one hundred 'yae the Amerleoa people, piCtdua, p With the coneelt of youth, have deluded themselves with the pleasing fealey that ~rovideneb endowed them with the birthright of undying freedom, and entrusted them with the hilth mission to strike the sbeh kk eof slavery from the limbs of • e tllo;n oitr t ~aert ntwi eis.w e The crowned despots of effete l4urope must be made to tremble on their thrones, For ope hundred yeats these Anerlcans have strutted upon the stage of life, easting glanees of mingled soorn and pity upon the past and looks of ouselous superiority on the oon|tempo. rary nations of Europe, In the war of Independeni.e, and that of 1i1i, the Amerloan eagle had plunged his beak inm, the British lien and struck terror to his soul, That was enough, Amerl.ans wore invintlble, Panoying' that they were illustrating the oapolity of man for selbgovernmaent, that they were the divinely appointed agents of a new politioal dispensation, under which all men were to be free and equal, they trod with daring reoklessness upon the tradltioe of the past, defiantly con. temned the wise teaohlsgs of te world's experience, sneered at the solemn warnings of philosophers and historians deeply versed in the solence of government and the knowledge of human nature, and ran their wild son reer of Ileense, taking no thought of the morrow. It was a grand debauoh, which could have but one ending-ruin and death, htanding now over the prostrate body of our once glorious Itepubllo, let us take a mournful retrospeot and seek the cause of its untimely death, One hundred years ago a small but select body of men, drawn from all olasses of society and representing all that was high.minded, patriotti and in, telligent, gathered together and framed, for three millions of people, a charter of government, lately known as the Constltution of the United States, Elvery proviston was made whilk hue man Ingenuity could devise for the harmonious working of a scheme destined to secure the blessings of freedom for all time to come, Under this machinery of government the ship of State moved smoothly on, breasting many a storm, but riding safely through them all, About twenty years ago there arose in the North a party whihb, restless under the domination of the South, resolved to crush it by appallang to popular sentiment against the peculiar institution which gave that section political strength. To effeot this object it adopted as its shibbo leth the "higher law," and denounoed the constitution as a "oovenant with hell and a league with the devil," This was the signal for the outburst of violence and the substitution of sectional passion for argu. ment in political controversy. The irrepressible conflict, which all wise men felt to be impending, burst upon the counttry, The constitution was ignored--how could a war be con ducted within the limitseof an instru ment designed to secure eternal liberty, equality and fraternity ? The " higher law " theory led to the assertion and eseroise of what was oalled the war powers of the government-in plain English, usurpation. A convenient Supreme Tribunal was at hand to give the sanction of judicial sup port to every violation of law and the oonstitution-witness the packlog of that court for the pur pose of overrlling an inoovenlent de olsion in regard to the legal tender law. From that moment the constitu tion became a dead letter, and earnest patriots all over the land despaired of the Republic. But a supreme effort was resolved upon to save the institutions under which the country had grown so great and prosperous. The effort was suocessful, in eontemplation of law, but there remained one resource to the desperate architects of their coun. try's ruin--fraud; and it has sue. ceeded. The letter and spirit of the constitution have been violated, all pretense of deoenoy and honesty has been abandoned, the will of the people -that supreme law of the land-has been overridden by a handf ll of reck loss conspirators, and fraud stands en throned over the ruins of the Republic. Such is the brief history of the twen ty years' rule of the Radical party. It began its career by waging war upon the constitution, and the destruction of that instrument was the legitimate re suit of the asoendanoy of that party. But the saddest feature of the calamity which has overtaken this ones happy land is-the foot that the Democratic leaders, representing a party number. ing a majority of over two hundred and fifty thousand of the popular vote, and nearly a million of the white voters of the country, have proven basely recreant to the trust re posed in them by their constituents, and allowed a mihority to grasp the reins of government through violence and fraud. But it is useless to lament over the past. Perhaps it was inevitable that a government founded upon false and sentimental principles should perish. Paul Louis Courier, with that keen penetration which distinguishes the French student of human nature, said that if there were only three men in the world, No. 1 would be hailed as "My Lord;" No. 9 would dance attend ance upon him, asd No. 1 and No.9 would combian e d compel "~t ... . t woo 4 $ loated, whie lturipe - uIpeo alice the destruetlot of the romain Itepublie, and whlob it h e a w the bitter fate of thise mteon to die. e ver, The faot 1f, the pretended "self-evident" proposition, embodied nl the constitution, that ."all men are oreated free and equal," ei a self. evident lii, Voltaire was right, Mant kind are divided into qnvilt and ham mere, some destined to give blows, nad oth oe reelAM9hCt_ iquitty fts. ternity and liberty extlt only in the renateld timagination of dreamers and enthusiasts, The rule of politloal cation ir the rule of foree, and that is the pass to whioh we have come, The constitution of the United IMttee being dead, we, of Ltouliatna, are re. mitted for our proteotion to the law ef self-preservation--the first law of na ture-tand it behooves us to prefiare for the esferaoement of our rights by the most efoetive means wohih that law suggestse-force, We have the power; let pi use it, If the fraud whiob has been perpetrated upon the nation be attempted here, we believe the people of l;uisihna will not hesitate how to meet and overeome it. lut suftlolent unto the day is the evil thereof, Our time to sot has not yet come.

In the midst of the trial of the most important luase that has ever been submltted to a jdicial tribunal--a t.use t1 which the libertles and birthrights of an entire nation ar sought to be destroyed by tyranny and corrtuption, and when all the cvlllsed nations of the world are earnest and anxious speetators; at ia time when right is being balanced against preJti dice in the scales of Justce, when ali extran eous I iluences should be ignor. ed antt condemed, when the mind of this high Commission should be .i brlrht and unsullied as burnished old, "refleotlg honor, not hatred: principle, not preudioe; we witness the spectacle of te rest magistrate in the land lend ing the power of his 9own name to give currency to a lie, vile ane injurious, and with no other ostensible purpose than te prejudtes the interest of the how unseemly, how undignlfied What setuse can he offer?

Why select him as the proper per. son to convey to this august body Information based on. an eae paritt statement, higbly colored and exagger atole, and with a hope amouting almost to a certainty that the minds of the judges must be affected by the news. He who dares improperly to Influence a Jury is ondemned not only by public Plon bui punished by the laws of t land. the prisoner his own son or brother, b the offense one that on tails death or lingering imprisonmest, t- e cuprit who dares to tamper with the pur of justice suffers the adif. ntion ofran entire community and the ualnsbment of her offended laws, But, alas I how different here. The Presl dent of the United States, sworn to up, hold the sanctity and dignity of the law, seeing a brave people bound down in sorrow, suffering from the murderous assaults of vicious men, hearing their appeal to a jury that should be honest and unprejudiced, strives to thwart the natural lnstincts of honest hearts by circulating, ever his own signature, ad dressed to one of his own creatures on the emmiission, a falsehood, infamous and unjustiflable, and calculated to work injury and harm to an unoffend lng community.
