Tin: article from tho pen of Wendell

column, will attract attention, as showing
the outgrowth of the lbidicsl sentiment,
which scemR to stop at 11c barrier, but
enlarges and expands as the fancies of
its propagatom decree. Tlie propositions
to dopose the Prositlontin utter disrogard
of law, but simply as an aet of power, to
be exerted because it is held the re-or-gauixntion
of the Supreme Court, that its
decisions may conform to the Radical
view the annihilation of States to sub
serve the caprices of a party all for the
purpose of continuing in place and power
a party, that otherwise might be over
thrown by a free expression of the popu

in the country those are certainly a step
in advance of any over submitted to the
American people. We shall see whether
Phillips will here prove the pioneer, ns

In another coIhmh will be found a de

ofthe Legislature elected in August 1 SGI,
and declaring the chediile to the consti

22d, ISO), to be a iart of the supreme
law of tlie State. The opinion barely ad
verts to the merits of the questions pre
sented, and waives their discussion. The
court predicates its action upon the prin

their sovereign capacity as framers o

DECIKIOX III' THE .SlU'RHMi:
COWItT.
Washinoton Dec. 31. The opinion of
the Supreme Court in the caw of L. P Mil
ligan, of Indiana, for conspiracy, tli . case
being on a certificate of division of opin
ion between the Judges of the Circuit
Court for the district of Indiana, has been
officiallyprOHiiilgatcd. The oplnlon-of-thc
Judges ofthe Circuit Court was opposed in
three questions, vii :
First On the facts stated in the peti
tion and exhibit might a writ of hnlieaa
eorpm be issued.
Second On the facts stated ought the
said Million le discharged from custody
Third Whether the military commis
sion had jurisdiction, legally, to try and
sentence Milligan.
Judge Davis, who delivered the opinion
ofthe majority of the court, held that the
writ ought to be issued and that Milligan
was entitled to be discharged ; that the
trial by military commission was contrary
to law ; that, as a oitiaen of Indiana, which
was not in rebellion, and not being in the
militarv service, he was amenable only to
tho civil law, and not the military Uw:
that one of the plainest of constitutional
provisions was violated when he was tried
by a court not authorited and ordained
by law, ami another guarantee of freedom
was broken when be wan denied trial by
j,,rv-
The first two questions were answered
affirmatively and the third negatively.
Chief Justice Chase and tlu-ee others dis
sented as to that qacMia-n, ltaMing it to bo
within the jower of Congress in time of
danger of invasion, to determine in what
States or district iersons may be tried by
military tribunal. In thisj however, they
were overruled by the majority of the court.
In the course of the proceedings it is re
market! that tlie conctitution is a law for
ruler and Koph equally in war and in
peace, and covers with tlie shield of its pro
teclian all rlaasex of men at all times and
ttnder all circtnuvtam-es, ami no doctrine
involving more pernicious cwtjeices
was ever invented by the wtt of man than

Thfh suit- was -commenced before a

The case was submitted to tlie Circuit
Judge uK.'ii an agreed state of fa- The

1-ham O. Harris, then acting Governor of
the State of Tennessee, under an act paseed
by the Legislature, the 2th of November,
1SG1, and dulv commissioneil under the
provisions of tlatact to take from the citi
jsensof tlie county their guns. Under this
authority he seized the gun of the defend
ant in error) and carried it 08". tlie gun be
ing valued nt 25. Jib? Honor was of opin
ion the law wag in violation of the consti
tution, and plaintiff in error a trespasser,
ami a judgment was rendered againft him,
from whkh there was an appeal to this
court.
The case presents for our consideration
the Talidily of the actB pawed by the Le
gislature of tlie State, after the attempt to
throw off the allegiance of the citizen to the
United States, pn the 6th day of May, 1SC1,
and the effect of the adoption of the consti
tutional amendments and schedule, on the
23d of Februarv. 18C". It is insisted for
the plaintiff in error that if by force or
otherwise the jower of the government of
Hie L mtou States to protect the citizen
was withdrawn, the allegiance of the citi
aen was suspended, annulled, or in abey
ance, and hewa left to the absolute control
and demand of the State That the State,
as a sovereign under the constitution, has
a right to take the property of the citizen
by and with the consent of his representa
tives, and, having that consent, the Gov
ernor, as the executive, was bound to exe
cute the law, and of right to issue the com
mission, and it is the act of the State, for
which the itla'ntitl in error is not individii
ally liable. These questions have been de
cided bv tribunals lrom which there is no
appeal.
The right of a State to withdraw from
the Federal Union, and of her citizens to
throw oil their allegiance to the general
government, is a question unnecessary for
us to discuss in length in the determination
of the questions presented in this record,
The constitution of the United Stales
was adopted by the whole people ; and upon
its adoption became the paramount law.
The framers of that instrument were the
patriots and statesmen who lived under the
old confederation, saw the evils of that
system of government, and in the formation
of the constitution, carefully endeavored to
guard against them.
It was submitted to the whole people, and
ratified by them, and no citizen can vol
untarily throw off the allegiance cast upon
him; while he remains within the States or
territories over which the government has
jurisdiction. Statesmen have differed since
the organization of the government on the
rights ot a stale to withdraw lrom the
Federal Union. The attempt to exercise it
bv part ofthe States culminated in the late
civil wan the authorities controlling the
Federal government triumphed, and the
question is, wc hope, finally and forever
settled by that tribunal from which there
is no appeal. Upon the attempt of this
Mtate to withdraw lrom tlie union, tlie
Legislature met and passed various acts,
among them an act entitled an act to es
tablish an ordnance bureau and for other
purposes." passed on the 20th of November,
1S61. The 18th, 19th and 21st Pections of
that act authorized the uovernor ot the
State to commission persons in eacli county
to collect the arms of the citizens. Heavy
penalties were Imposed 011 those who re
fused to yield them up. In the passage of
this act, the 20th section of the Hill of
Rights, which provides "that the free white
men of this State have a right to keep and
bear arms for the common defense," was
utterly disregarded.. This is the first at
tempt in the history of the Anglo-Saxon
roc;, of which we are apprised, to disarm
the people by legislation.
The motives which induced the passage
of the act we will leave an enlightened
public to decide when passion has passed
and reason resumed her control. How far
the acts of this Legislature, which assembled
without the sanction of the oath prescribed
in article 10th, section 2d, of tne cotistitu
lion of the State, which requires each mem
bcr of the Legislature, before he takes bis
seat, to take an oath to support the consti
tution of the United States, etc., are valid,
it is unnecessary for us to decide, as it has
lieen settled by the people acting in their
sovereign right, lheconstitutional amend
ment became a part of the constitution of
the State, and schedule thereto annexed
for all the purpeses sought by the ratifica
tion, because equally binding on the courts
as the purposes therein expressed Section

ordinances and resolutions, as well as all
acts done in pursuance thereof, under th
authority of the usurped Stale government,
after the declared independence of the
State of Tennessee, on or after the Cth of
May, 1801, were unconstitutional, null and
void from the beginning." No one has ever
doubted the right, that according to the in
stitutiona of thia country, the sovereignty
of every State resides in the people of the
State, and they may niter or change their
form of government at their pleasure, but
whether they have enanged it or not by
abolishing the old government and estab
lishing a new one, is a question to be set
tied by the political power. The courts
are bound to take notice of its decisions
and follow it. 7th Howard's Report, Ln
ther vs. Borden, page 1.
The people of the State having in their
sovereign character declared the acts of
tlie Legislature, passed after the Cth of May,
null and void lrom the beginning, it lot
lows, therefore, that the ratification of the
schedule by the people on the 'SZiX of Feb
ruary, loud, the act under which the plain
tiff justified his seizure of the gun of the
delcnuant in error, was null and void, and
he cannot defend himself bv virtue of the
commission under which he acted, nor
shield himself from the responsibility bv
the provisions of the acts of the Legisla
ture, passed alter the Oth ot May, Isol. It
fellows the defendant was a trespasser, and
is responsible for the property taken. The
judgment of the court will be affirmed.

A true copy. Test :
M. L. PATTEitsox, Clerk.
now a max ritF.Ezrs to iii:atii.
M. Fouchet lately read an interesting
paper on this subject before the French
Academy of Science. J he authors infer
ences arc as follows :
1. That the first phenomenon produced
by cold is a contraction of the capillary
vessels to such an extent that a globule of
blood cannet enter; these vessels, therefore,
remain completely empty.
ihe second phenomenon is an altera
tion of the blood globules which amounts
to their complete disorganization.
3. Every animal completely frozen is
absolutely dead, and no power can re-animate
it.
4. When only a part is frozen that part
is destroyed by gangrene,
j 6. If the part frozen is not extensive,
and only a few disorganized blood globules
pasK into circulation, the animal may re-
cever.
6. Bat if, on the contrary, the frozen
part is ef considerable extent, then tho
raans of altered globules brought into the
circulation when the part is thawed, rap-
aly kills the animal,
7. For this reason a half frozen animal
may live a long time if maintained in this
condition, since tho altered globules do not
get into the circulation ; but it expires rap-
luiy as soon as lue iruico uau ta uunoi,
8. In all case of congelation, death is
due to the alterration of the blood globules,
and not to any effect on the nervous system.
9. It results from these facts that the
!e- ranidlr the froien part U thawed, tlie
more slowly altered globules find their way
into the circulation, and tne greater tho
chances of Ihe recovery of the animal.
WHY IIUXAXD HAS IMPROVED.
The London ISma contrasts the condi
tion of Ireland now withwbatit was twenty
yer ajgo, and attributes tlie recent im
provement in no small degree to emigra
tion. The pepUtio was too large to
uli-'t on agriculture alone :
Hie Irishman has done only what ihe
English man and German had begnn long
before. We are aecastomed to regard the
fcimdaliou of the American colonists, the
establisJunijnt of the Indian empire, and
the settlement of Australia as among the
greatest achievement of our race; and if
a similar spirit of enterprise takes posses
sion of the Celt, it isso much gain to tin
world. There con be nothing to deplore
ihe emigration itW; far, as Lord Duuerin
