. “The Constitution as it is.”
Of late, since the failure to secure an altera
tion of the Constitution hi favor of slavery, so
as to give “new guarantees” to the ‘ pecu
liar institution"—as was proposed in the Crit
tenden resolutions—the enemies of an enlarged
freedom have adopted as tlieir motto and
watch-words, “The Constitution as it is—the
Union as it was.” Let it be borne in mind
that the “Constitution as it is” was not a favo
rite motto with modern democrats, until the
last hope of changing it had faded out. To
this end only—that of changing the Constitu
tion—were all the talk, all the public meetings,
and all the efforts in behalf of the propositions
of Mr. Crittenden, which propositions were sim
ply proposed amendments to the Constitution,
virtually giving immortality to slavery, and
making the people of all the new territories,
south of a given line, the merest vassals of
the federal government, whose united wish was
to weigh nothing with Congress or any other
department of the government, but among
whom slavery was to be forced, protected and
fostered by the government, though ninety
nine hundredths of the citizens inhabiting such
territories might utter their protest against
it.
Such, in effect, was the Crittenden Compro.
mise, which, we are sometimes told,even Jeff.
Davis and Robert Toombs were willing to ac
c ept in lieu of secession and war! Wonderful
condescension! Well they might .accept it,
(though it is not true that they would have
done even this) for it was really a surrender
to their claims, a yielding of the whole ques
tion at issue, a bowing down before the giant
demands of slavery, of the most abject char
acter. The people of the United States, in a
constitutional way and by a constitutional
majority, had elected a Chief Magistrate, and
declared for a just and liberal interpretation
of the Constitution; and now Mr. Jeff. Davis
and Mr. Robert Toombs graciously consent
not to break up the Union, and not to deluge
the land in fraternal blood, if the people will
waive all the results of the election, and con- |
sent to put into the constitutional bond that
slavery forever shall have its own way, be su
preme in the territories, and rule the govern
ment in all time future, as it has in all time
past! And there are men calling them
selves democrats and patriots, who even now
hint their regrets because the great free ma
jority of this nation did not ignobly, to avert
war, consent to such a humiliation, and to
thus accept the leadership of Davis and
Toombs, and bare their tacks to all the bur
dens that such despots might feel disposed to
heap upon them.
We say it was when such an infamous
scheme failed, and the voice of the great ma
jority unmistakably declared that the domin
ion and dominatiou of slavery was limited,
and that no more guarantees of slavery were
to be added to the Constitution, that the cry
was taken up of “the Constitution as it is."—
We know that men who, only nine months
since, voted in our legislature indefinitely to
postpone a proposition to change the Constitu
tion, and to make it what it is not, were de
nounced as “ abolitionists,” while the only men
who demanded the Constitution not as it is,
were Messrs. Bradbury and Gould, the former
of whom has since been the candidate for Gov
ernor, and the latter a candidate for Represen
tative to Congress, of the very party which,
even in their nominations, inscribed upon its
banner, “ the Constitution as it IS.”
We know of no loyal men who are not for
the Constitution as it is. Surely all Republi
cans insist upon the Constitution as it is, and
they will so insist until it can be constitution
ally changed. If we may believe modern dem
ocrats, the South have made war not to secure
the Constitution as it is, but because they could
not change it. If this Is not the teachings of
democrats, why do they insist that the adop
tion of the Crittenden compromise, which was
but a proposed change of the const itutiou, would
have averted all our troubles, and kept the
South contented ? The North has never de
manded alterations of the Constitution; they
have accepted it fully, and lived up to its re
quirements, and when even to avert a war
they consent to the imperious demands of any
body to change their organic law, they will
prove how sadly they have deteriorated, and
how utterly unworthy they have become of
their patriotic ancestors, who, to defend the
doctrines of equal rights, personal freedom,
civil liberty and individual independence, dar
ed hurl defiance in the teeth of the proudest
nation on the globe, and to pledge their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honor.
The constitution.^ no Northern instrument;
it is no Southern production; it is the joint
agreement of the North and the South; a
“perpetual bond” for the posterity of both,
unanimously ratified by all the States; and in
demanding that those now in rebellion shall
submit to and obey it, we demand no more of
them than we acknowledge as our own duty.
And so long as the authority of that Constitu
tion is defied, not for a moment can the de
mand be listened to for either a relaxation or
an increased tension of its provisions. Sub
mit and obey, is the duty of every citizen, and
only those who do this have a right to be heard
in demands for a change or modification in its
exactions.
When rebellion ceases and the authority of
the Constitution is fully restored and respect
ed, then, if the people desire a change in any
nf Its nrnruirtne ilino will l.n ^.... * • » _
make them, and to do so in the manner pre
scribed in the constitution itself. And when
that change is made, we dare say it will not
be in the direction of despotism and the dark
ages, but it will be in the direction of an en
larged freedom, and adversely to a despotism
which is the scandal of the age in which we
live. We go, therefore, for the Constitution
as it Is, and we shall do so until it can be made
a charter ol liberty to every rational being un
der its j urisdiction, except so far as they shall
forfeit that liberty by their crimes.
£3T Slavery is right or it is wrong. It is in
violation of, or it is in harmony with the nat
ural laws. It rests upon usurpation, or on
the right of one man to own another. The
fathers of the republic believed it to be wrong;
to be in violation of natural laws: to rest only
upon usurpation. The abolitionist, believing
the same thing, insists that the wrong should
end; that natural laws should be harmonized
with and not violated: that usurpation is a
sin, and all that tlows from it necessarily par
takes of sin. Were the fathers right or wrere
they wrong in their opinions ? The secession
ists say they were wrong; we of the loyal
States say they were right. If right, then are
not the abolitionists right in their deductions?
And is it possible that the preaching of a
righteous truth should be the cause of a wick
eu rebellion ? Is it not, rather, true that the
rebellion is the result of slavery ?
Slavery the Cause of the War.
The popular fallacy, by which slavery Is re
garded as the sole cause and ground of this
accursed civil war, is refuted in yesterday’s
Argus alter the style of refutation which be
longs especially to that journal. The substance
ol its argument (if it be allowable to call that
mih.itance, which is viewless and intangible)
is that irherem all went merrily until “the
ghoul of abolitionism came,” therefore “fanat
ical abolitionism has caused the rebellion.”
This is not quite true historically; but no mat
ter—what sort of logic is based on the per
verted history? Why, something like this:
HViereae, the dog was [>erfectly well until af
ter the cat ate her dinner: therefore Itemized,
that the cat’s dinner made the dog sick.
That a social system, which necessarily in
stigates opposition regular or irregular to all
genuine democracy, is responsible for this
war, and must lie crushed, is a belief spread
ing more and more widely among all classes of
reasoning Americans. Here, for example, is a
letter on the I’resident's Proclamation, writ
ten by the Rev. Mr. Quint, Chaplain of the
2d Mass, regiment, for the Congrcgatiouallst.
Mr. Quint went into the army a conservative
of the most antique pattern, not even a Re
publican, far less an abolitionist. See what
his military experience lias done for him, as
for Rutler and Halleck—but the catalogue
would be endless. We are able to give only a
few illustrative passages:
We have liecouie accustomed to seizure of
tile blacks oil the other side. When Jackson
came to Winchester last May he seized all
blacks, free and slave, except some belonging
to rebels there. When lie went southward lie
swept tile country clear, carrying many free
men into slavery. When the rebel army can
tured Harpers Ferry it seized all blacks, and
they are still in the hands of the man-stealers
southward. Nor do we forget that the blacks
who drove the ambulances when the wounded
were gathered in under a flag of truce after
the late Manassas iiatties, were seized aud
carried away. Southerners steal negroes
whenever they have an opportunity; steal
them to make them slaves. Are we to regard
their slave property as sacred ?
Nor can we distinguish between seizing
slave property as property, and seizing wheat.
Whatever the rebels have that government
wants we take. We are not worshippers of
slavery, and we can see no more harm in tak
ing slave property than the products of slave
labor. It is all oue.
1 have lieen told by a reliel officer, a prison
er, that slavery doubles the number of men
they can keep in the Held. I believe him. I
saw. one day, as noble a regiment as ever was
raised, go into action full of genuine men.
The best blood of Massachusetts was there.
Two days after I buried Its dead. Shorn of
one third of its numbers was the regiment.
Lying on the Held were the pride of their
homes. Men of education, character, ability,
industry. Fathers and mothers, of every two
guns leveled at your sons, slavery kept one and
slavery Hred both. I lifted your sons; some
to bury, some to scud home. It was slavery
that killed them all.
I saw on another day, that same regiment,
undaunted in the fiercest battle of this conti
nent. One fourth of its number came out.
Its good men, how they fell. One of the no
blest, who cared not for his life if victory was
ours, hated slavery as I do. Of every two
guns at Antietam, slavery kept one, and slavery
tired both. I saw countless maimed men there.
Slavery pierced them. I saw countless dead
there. Slavery killed them.
The product of slave labor doubles every
gun the South could without it put into the
Held. To sustain slavery the South keeps
both guns there—without slavery they could
keep none there. And shall any man tell me
that the system which killed these gallant com
rades is one whose continuance, it is his com
fort. to believe is sure, whether we succeed be
fore January 1st. or whether we fail finally.—
and 1 not loathe him as 1 would a snake ? Is
Massachusetts sunk so low gs to breed such
reptiles ?

hour of leisure, that a few items in relation to
the business, Ac., of this little live city on the
Kennebec, may not be unacceptable to the
readers of the Press.
Gardiner was incorporated in 1803, and in
cludes within its present boundaries a popula
tion of 4477. The Cobbosseeontee stream
courses it* way through the center of the city
proper, on which are built niue substantial
dams, affording abundant water power for the
numerous mills and manufactories upon them.
This stream is fed by the large pond that bears
Its name, besides the large Winthrop and Kead
fleld ponds, the waters of which are retained
as a reservoir in the summer by a dam for that
purpose.
I took a stroll among the saw-mills to-day,
and, in conversation with an intelligent gen
tleman whose business requires him to be post
ed iu such matters, noted the following statis
tics:—there arc 11 saw-mills, all in operation,
cutting out in the average, fifty million feet of
lumber per annum. This ranges from $8 to
$30 per M. Taking the average at $15 per M
we have the value of the lumlier, as it leaves
the mills, at $225,OCX! yearly. Some of the
mills, built since the great fire, are models for
convenience and efficiency of operation. It is
indeed a treat to be enjoyed by the uninitiated,
to watch the men as they grapple the huge
logs and haul them from their icy bath in the
stream below, roll them on the carriages, and
cut them into lumber of various kinds, with
almost incredible rapidity. The logs come
from the tributaries of the Kennebec, around
and beyond Moosehead Lake, nearly on the
Canada line; and some, I am told, have been
a dozen years finding their way to the mills.
There are here, also, two paper mills, manu
facturing $250,000 worth of paper per year, 2
flouring mills, 2 grist mills, 3 machine shops, 2
sash and blind factories, 1 woolen factory, 1 j
ouivum mm. x pwry, x uoue nun. ana 1 plas- i
ter mills, the latter grinding 1200 tons of plas
ter per annum. This shows Gardiner to be
one of the live cities of Maine. There are, al
so, seven churches and schools of a high grade.
I cannol help contrasting the questionable
loyalty of an ex-etlice holder under Buchanan,
not a thousand miles from here, witlt the ear
nest out-gushing patriotism of a poor widow,
his near neighbor. The former is dissatisfied
with the government, fault-finding and censo
rious in reference to the measures adopted or
proposed for the suppression of the rebellion,
more anxious apparently for the protection of
traitors and their niateriaiinterests, than for the
perpetuity of our government, as our (fathers
established it, predicting that we shall tail as a
government, and no more ineu can be rsised
in Maine to defend us; while the latter, strug
gling alone in the world with adversity and
poverty, has sent her two otdy sons, the hope
and stay of her declining years, to swell the
number of the armed hosts who are trying to
save us Irom ruin. 1 saw her in her humble
cottage, conning the latest news from the Mis
sissippi and the 1’utomae, where her noble sons :
are braving the chances of war, and with a
mother's tear glistening in her eye, and a chok
ed utterance, as she talked of them, expressed
not a single regret, but on the contrary, rejoi
ces that in her humble sphere, she cati do so i
much to preserve the life of our nation, and
perpetuate our liberties. Noble mother! Such
self-sacrificing devotion will be honored by
coming generations, while the opposite spirit
will receive, as it deserves, the execration of
every true American.
I notice the l’ress is sought for and read
with avidity by the multitude eager for a pe
rusal of its racy columns. The large bundle
brought through the train by the news-boy,
was at once absorbed.—No other paper could
be had from Portland. How is this ? Where
are your cotemporaries ?
or about eighty years the Union has
existed mid tionrished beyond example, under
the Constitution as the fathers made it. Then
negro slavery was universal in all the States,
a recognized right. Subsequently it died out
in the northern States as unprofitable. Vir
ginia rave territory to the United States, out
of which five great free States have been crea
ted. The growth of the wi st and the acquisi
tion of California have added to the prepon
derance of the free over the slave States. All
this under the old Constitution. This is his
tory.—[Argus.
And what does this prove? That Aboli
tionism caused the war, says the above paper!
Does it not rather prove, what every intelli
gent student of history knows, that “ the fath
ers” who made the Constitution, looked upon
slavery as a moral, social and political evil,
temporary in its influence and brief in its ex
istence? Does it not show that Virginia,
slavehoidiug as she was, did not wish to plant
the curse beyond the Ohio, and was careful, in
ceding the Northwest Territory to the Union,
to provide that its virgin soil should never he
trod by the foot of a slave ? What, then, has
wrought the change in the spirit of her dream
and now makes her clank the chains of slav
ery and swear they shall lie her music forever ?
What hut the cotton gin. that made cotton
culture profitable, and thus stimulated the uv
erice of those who saw a way opened in which
to coin gold from the sweat and blood of the
African? Virginia, from being the home of
Washington and Jefferson, and from cherish
ing anti-slavery principles, came to be the
home of such as Henry A. Wise and Roger A.

lust of gain, commenced to breed human cat
tle for the rice swamps and other plantations
of the South. Instead of proving, as the Ar
gus claims, that Abolitionism has caused the
rebellion, the above historical facts—imper
fectly stated—show conclusively how Virgin
ia and the South have deteriorated, and how
shamefully they are disgracing their better and
early history; ai d the Argus seems willing to
lie down in the filth with them, and to lap up
their corruptions.
Mb. Seward’s Interpretation of the
Democratic Bevival.—Secretary Seward,
writing to minister Adams at Loudon, Nov.
loth, in order to give him the cue to the prop
er explanation of the democratic victories in
the recent elections, says:
It is not necessary tor the information of our
representatives abroad that I should descend
into any examination of the relative princi
ples or policies of the two parties. It w ill sul
lice to say that while there may be men of
doubtful jiolitical wisdom and virtue in each
party, and while there may lie differences of
opinion between the two parties as to the
measures best calculated to preserve the Un
ion and restore its authority, yet it is not to
be inferred that either party, or any consider
able portion of the people of th'i loyal States,
is disposed to accept disunion under any cir
cumstances, or upon any terms. It is rather
to be understood Hint the people have become
so confident of the stability of the Union that
partizan combinations arc resuming their sway
here, as they do in such cases in all free coun
tries. In this country, especially, it is a habit
not only entirely consistent with the constitu
tion, but even essential to its stability, to re
gard the administration at any time existing
as distinct and separable from the government
itself, and to canvass the proceedings of the
one without the thought of disloyalty to the
other. We might possibly have had quicker
success in suppressing the insurrection it this
habit could have rested a little longer in abey
ance; but, on the other hand, we are under
obligations to save not only the integrity or
unity of the country, but also its inestimable
and precious constitution. No one can safely
say that the resumption of the previous popular
habit does not tend to this last and most im
portant consummation, if at the same time, as
we confidently expect, the Union itself shall
be saved.
The Indian War.—The present state of
the war in the North West is thus described
by a correspondent of the Maine Farmer, writ
ing from Fort Randall, Dacotah Territory,
Not. 22:
Doubtless you have long since heard of the
termination of the war in Minnesota, but the
Indian w ar is far from being ended: it is mere
ly transferred from the border settlements of
Minnesota to the Upper Missouri. The whole
of the Sioux Nation, (with the exception of
the Yanktons, who are located on a reserve
across the river from this place,) are known to
be hostile. Persons returning from the Sal
mon River gold region have been repeatedly
attacked by the savages. The last party which
arrived from there were taken prisoners by
them, and were only saved from death by the
intercession ofa squaw who was the wife of one
of the miners. As it was, they were robbed of
everything except their boat (of which the In
dians could make no use) and allowed to con
tinue on their way. They came near dying of
hunger, and arrived here in a destitute condi
tion. They report that the “ Swantee” bands
who escaped from Minnesota are on the Mis
souri. two or three hundred miles above here,
and have several women and children prison
ers in their camp, and their account of the
treatment and condition of these captives beg
gars description. They are compelled to do
all the drudgery of the camp, and loaded like
beasts of burden to keep up with the monster
savages when on the march.

—[Lewiston Journal.
The Argus styles this paper “the bloody
Press,” because of its recent article in relation
to Gen. -McNeil. That paper totally misstates
the facts,but its readers will never know it by
anything found in its columns. The ten men
seized and shot by McNeil were not respecta
ble citizens, but they were “bushwhackers,” or
guerrillas, who had violated their parole. The
Argus talk about the “bloody Press!” Why,
when the editor of the Press was deuouneiug
the infamous attempts of liuchanan A Co., to
force slavery into Kansas by the agency of bor
der ruffians and Missouri cut-throats, both the
editors of that paper were apologizing for the
attrocity,one of them in the columns ol the Ar
gus, and the other in the columns of a paper in
licllast. Pretty fellows they, to talk about
the “bloody party.”
Trouble between Kansas and Missouri
Troops.
New Vouk, Dec. 11.
Late advices from Kansas give accounts of
the arrest of Col. Adams and Lieut. Col Hays
of the 12th regiment Kansas volunteers, in
Western Missouri, by llrig. Gen. Vaughan of
the Missouri State Guards. Col. Adams had
made a successful expedition into Missouri
against the guerillas, capturing about 100
wagons and 50 negroes. On being ordered by
Gen. Vanghan to surrender the negroes and
property and leave the State, he expressed
willingness to comply with all the demands,
except to surrender the negroes, which he re
fused. Vaughan having a force of about 1000
men, with artillery, and Adams ouly 250, the
latter had no choice but compliance, and has
been sent to St. Louis for trial on the 15th
inst. Col. Adams is a son-in-law of Senator
Lane of Kansas.

A Good Sprixo Bed has become an almost indis*
pensable article, not only of comfort and necessity,
with every family, while the united testimony of
Physicians has placed their hcalthfhluess beyond
question.
No invalid should be without one.
As an evidence of the superiortv of
COREY’S “PREBLE" SPRING BED
overall others, is the fact that the demand for this
Spring Bed is quadruple that of any other kind.
