The effect of these bills, if enactcd into laws, will be to make the present unrepresented States, by excluding them from all participation iu the general legislation of the country, virtually dead States.

We can not expect the rehabiliment of the Southern States —the flow of emigration thither necessary to develop the wealth of that section of the country, as long as they arc kept in the condition of conquered provinces, and while compelled to bear an equal proportion of the burden of Government, denied representation or any voice iu its direction.

And what is the apology or justification which the radical leaders offer for their enacted and proposed measures for the restoration of the Union? Profcssedlyjo exact conditions and securities, through amendments to the Constitution, that will forever prevent any attempt at revolution or disunion. And how do they seek to do this? One proposed way is by intensifying the animosities of the powerful element in the South, who outraged in the rebellion, by excluding them from all participation in the Government, either State or National. Will this be a security of peace in the future? The universal testimony is, that the men of the South who took an active part in the rebellion, who contested every inch of ground with the northern soldiers, are most anxious for a complete restoration of the Union. If the honor of the men who lbught bravely and gallantly for their cause, no matter how extreme may be our condemnation of it, can not be trusted, there is but little hope of a restored

Hadlcal Designs.

Tho tclegrajdi conveys the intellmencc that a caucus of the Republican Senators and Representatives was held 011 Wednesday night, at which a considerable amount of the work of the present session of Congress was agreed upon. It can not have cseaped attention that thus far the measurer, which have been agreed upon iu caucus are promptly brought forward and put through Congress. Since the recent elections, it has been given out. through radical agencies, that it was a portion of the Republican programme to exclude the States not represented iu Congress from any participation in the next PresidcntiaJ election, 110 11111 t.ter, what might be their action upon the proiinsnrl- /rwstit utional amendment. And the action of the cations (M (inns these intimations^ We are informed that the most important business determined upon was the passage of a bill to exclude from the Klectoral College all States not represented in Congress at the date of the Presidential election, and a bill providing that no names shall be entered upon the roll of the Fortieth CongresfWrom States not represented iu the Thkty-nin'h.

Union. If they are to be placed, through radical legislation, ill political rights, beneath the ignorant and degraded negro, we can not expect that their affection for the Government will be strengthened, or that their offspring will forget the degradation of their lathers. If we hope fori a restored Union upon an enduring basis, different counsels uiugt prevail from those which now direct and iniluence the National legislation. In tho language of the President, the interests of tho nation are to bo best promoted by the revival of fraternal relations, .the complete obliterution-of our past differences, and the romauguration of all the pui»uits of peace.

The People and Congress. requent refereuce is made in a certain class of newspapers as to what the people have decided in the recent elections. Ry some," it is said they have decided that the Southern StatBrhiust remaiu unrepresented in Congress till they have adopted the constitutional amendment by others, until they shall confer equal suffrage upon their negro population while still others assert that the popular decision is that all negroes must be enfranchised and all white men who participated in the rebellion disfranchised, the effect, of wlxiok would be tOjpluce cacli and all of the Southern States as completely under the dominion of the blacks as fs Hayti or Congo. The Radical members nf Congress Jiavu w.-k'-e.*--with his own idea as to what, the people decided iu the election, and cacli thinking himself fully instructed to'vote just as lie thinks he ought. But it is to be hoped that members will consider the positions they occupy to the Constitution and the nation at large as well as to their own immediate constituents. Members of Congress arc required to take a solemn oath to support the Constitution of the United States before they can enter upon the discharge of their duties. And although it is not. to lie presumed that any considerable number of voters would favor any measure which tlioy to be violative of the Constitution, yet, it should be borne in mind that 110 such responsibility rests upon individual voters as upon members of Congress, and, not acting under the solemnity of an oath, it is not to lie supposed that they examine closely into the constitutionality of every question that comes up for discussion during an excited political canvass. If, then, the Constitution makes it the duty of Congress to see that every State is duly represented in the Senate and House by persons regularly and lawfully elected to scats in these bodies, it will be no reason for refusing admission to the members that the people of other States are supposed to have decided otherwise. No matter what the people may have decided, or how emphatically, their decision is no law to members of Congress if it violates, iu the least degree, the letter or spirit of the Constitution. That instrument is the supreme law of the land, binding alike upon people and upon Cougress, and is not to be overriden by au^ popular domonsti'.-'tion at the polls or elsewhere. If it is defective iu any respect, a way is pointed out by which it can be amended.
