THE DAY BOOK. JOHN K. HATHAWAY J AS. BARHON HOP HOLT WILSON, , Proprietor. ’ | Editors. FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1868. Congress. It is indisputable that the Congress is not composed of representatives from all sections of the country as provided for by the Consti tution. This provides that all the States shall be represented ; but a large portion of them are excluded and their representatives denied admission into the halls of legislation, by a tyrannical majority of the present members from th« remaining and larger portion of the States. The policy adopted by Congress i6 opposed to the sentiments expressed by Presi dent Lincoln, and the resolutions of Congress passed in 1861. Mr. Lincoln proclaimed that so soon as the seceded States laid down their arms, they stood in the Union precisely as they did previous to the war. And Con gress passed a resolution to the same effect. This resolution was passed in 1861, and wasj entirely in accordance with the plan of re construction by President Lincoln—aDd was passed by an almost unanimous vote by both Houses of Congress. It stated in substance that in prosecuting the war there was no pur pose on the part of Congress to destroy any State, or deprive it of its rights, its equality or its dignity ; but simply to put down the rebellion against the Government of the United States; and when the supremacy of the Constitution was established, the war should cease Not only was this resolution in harmony with the plan of President Lin coln, which likewise pledged the country to prosecute the war, not with a view to destroy the States ; not to deprive them of their equal rights and dignity; not to deny them representation, nor any other right guaran teed by the Constitution, but this plan of the President and the resolution of both houses of Congress coincided with the proclamations is sued from time to time by the Generals in command, and under the sanction of Presi dent Lincoln. The plan was also in accordance with the platform of the so-called Union party in 1864. All these facts are stated by Senator Doolittle in his masterly speech at Buffalo. At the very commencement of the war the Government of the United States declar ed that the object of the war was simply to maintain the authority of the General Gov ernment—that it was not waged to destroy, but to preserve and maintain the integrity of the Union. The South claimed it had a right to go out—the General Government disallow ed the claim, and maintained by force of arms its theory of the indivisibility of the Repub lic. Since the triumph of the General Gov ernment the seceded States have repealed the legislative acts which they regarded as hav ing taken then, it of the Union ; and by consequence, they are placed in statu quo, by their own act; which status was always re garded by the government a? always existing the acts of secession and the resort to arms, to the contrary notwithstanding. That the present Congress is not the repre sentative body contemplated and required by the Constitution is evident. This is the clear and logical inference according to the provis ions of the Constitution and the theory of the general Government. These couclusions being undisputable, it would seem that the reorganization of the pre sent Congress as the legislative body contem plated by the Constitution becomes a matter of legitimate inquiry and judicial investigation. It is the province of the Executive to see that the Jaws axe duly executed and to sustain and uphold the Constitution of the United States. The position which President Johnson occu pies is substantially the same as that occupied by his predecessor and by Congress before it proposed the present inconsistent and uncon stitutional amendment which is to be made a sine qua rum to the so-called re-admission of the representatives of the Southern States, with no guarantee of such admission in the direful event of its reception by the South. The inquiry, therefore, is a pertinent one and such as the Executive Department might properly propound to the decision of the Judi ciary. Is the thirty-ninth Congress the body contemplated by tha Constitution—such an assemblage of representatives of the'United States as the Constitution provides for, and requires to constitute the Legislative branch of the Government ? Recent develupements demonstrate that the ouly hope of the South is in the promises and decisive action of the Executive Depart ment. The Present and Future of Eng and. Wheu we take up the glowing volumes of Allison and read the just exultation with which he records the wondrous deeds of a lit tle Island, that almost single-handed with stood the mighty Corsican; wheu we see that she became hi4 conqueror not only by the bloody field of Waterloo, but by furnishing for so many years tne subsidies by which the nations shook off tbs yoke of France ; when we see Castlereagli at the Congress of Vienna, as the representative of Eugland receiving the homage of the monarchs of all Europe; and then look at her present condition, we lift osr hands to heaven and cry out, “How are the mighty fallen!" What is the reason why the Queen of the seas, upon whose gorgeous Empire the suu never sets, whose drum is heard in fortresses that command every sea of Europe, Asia, Africa and America,—why is it, we ask, that she is now but a third rate power,-.-inferior not only lo France whom she has bearded and conquered in times gone by, but to Russia whom she affected to despise. This were bad enough; but worse than this, dreads to stir up the wrath of our thirty-six headed Giant, whom sixty years she affected to treat as an underling unworthy of the rights of a nation. This would seem to be the ne pins ultra of degradation ; but England has reached a lower depth still. The kingdom of Prus sia, which a hundred years ago she treated like the rest of the German States, is looked upon by the autocrat of France as a great Power, when he contemptuously ignored the existence of perfidious Albion! The cause of this great decline of the might iest Government the world ever saw is to be found in several facts. The supremacy of Eng land depended upon her navy. As long as ships were propelled by the winds, the skill of the Euglish sailors distanced that of any others on the earth, and the name of Golling wooJ, St. Vincent and Nelson were as dread ful to all nations of the earth as those of so many Bluebeards. They sailed round the earth to spread desolation and to acquire col ony after coloDy for the great mother of pi rates. The subjugation of the richest producing regions of our globe poured incalculable wealth into the coffers of England. She man- j aged them for her own selfish purposes, and ] so constructed her laws that her colonies be-1 came mines of wealth to which those of Mexi co were nothing. She was secure in all this; for she had command of the sea, and none dared to question her supremacy. Iu consequence her manufactures became extended beyond precedent,and her cotton and iron lords weDt ou adding wealth to wealth until they became so rich that Croesus was a pauper compared to dozens of them. But now all is changed. England dares not stir up a war ; for the first result would be that her colonies would be wrenched from her, as she has not iron-clads enough to gir even her own chalk cliffs, so as to make t1 secure against the steam navy of any t bly strong power. Another cause of the weakness of F is her enormous debt. So long as sh defy nations and keep out competit debt was even thought by some to b< sing, and its weight was not felt by t who governed her councils, and ' made but the richer by the taxes v her suffering millions. These bav had their eyes opened, and the sp cation has made them ask why a cerB kept out of any means of leg. way in which the money is spent have toiled for. England now hesitates to go to w„ that she has not had ample causes enough in the last twenty years ; but her aristocracy are beginning to fear her own people. Wars will hereafter be conducted in a dif ferent manner than they have been. They will result in all time to come in the libera tion of the masses of the nations. Despots cannot now depend upou making their sub jects fight to strengthen their own chains. The aristocracy of England see this great fact, and they know that a war with France or the United States will go very far to democratize Great Britaiu; indeed we doubt that the House of Lords could survive a six months' modern war, in which the enemy would cer tainly appeal to the republican sympathies of the masses of Englishmen. The only way to strengthen the British Government, is to give more power to the people. The coarse of the ptlines of the whole world is towards equality, and the privileged classes may as weil try to stop a cyclone as to stand up against the whirlwind of democracy. The question is this: \V ill the Aristi of England have the sense to make concessions, in time, and thus, by making friends of the masses, proloug their rule for some years longer, till they can at least die decently; or will they, like all oligarchies, cling to their traditions and superstitious till the fools and their doctrines are swept away by the Ty phoon of equality. AVe love old England, and we are distress ed to see her thus humbled. We should be indeed pained to see her time honored institu tions crushed to dust, and no trace left of what was once the admiration of the world. If the storm comes, it will sweep away not only the aristocracy, but the uational debt and all the thousand ways by which England has consolidated her power and oppressed her own people and the whole world. She will arise out of the Revolution with less conglomerated wealth,and stripped of her colonies and her former might; but the peo ple will be benefited, and while England will take her position as a fourth rate power, her masses will be contented, and enjoy the rights of meu.

Certain questions hava arisen within a day or two which tend to delay the operations already announced, for a few days, but in no wise to affect their fulfillment. B&L.
