Tbe oorreetneee of this opinion ia admitted by many, if net e majority, of tbe leading Journals of the South. Aa ranch aa they ragret that it is ao, yet they feel that the stern feet exists, end seem disposed to contemplate it calmly and philosophically. The South Carolina Standard, to show by the lews of population it is not possible for the South to colonize Territories to an equal extent with the Nortb^eya that,to every mao, women and child, white or black, in the Southern States, there are five hundred end seventeen acres of land to be cultivated. The entire population of the Sooth is not competent Id the cultivation of so such an

amount of land.

Having lands of thslr own beyond ths wants of the Southern people, they have no motive of intereet to emigrate to other lands beyond. In view of these facts, the Stand* ard admits that ths Territory of Kansas, or any other Territory, is not the want of the Sonth, and not being wented, it is not fairly to b# supposed that tho South can tako it. Ths Standard says that it favored tbe passage of tbe K»nsas-Nebreeka bill for tho very reason maintained by Mr. Stephens. It felt the MiBSoiiri roatriction to be a touch of

The majority of the Committee concluded their report by recommending the adoption

of the following resolution :

The Standard concludes, therefore, if the Booth are to maintain a political equality with the North, some other line of policy must be adopted. Their chance of aocceas, the Standard thinks, lies betwixt two alternatives, viz.; such a revision of the Federal Constitution ea will give the Sonth a veto upon Federal legislation, or that they be permitted to add to their slave population by importation, so as to enable them to expand

pari paint with the North.

We give these views of the Standard to to show what Utopian schemes are entertained by oar Soathoru Brethren, to prevent ths political ascendency of the Free States of the Union. Whilst that class of altruists to which the Standard belong^ seep to Have made themselves ths special champions of Sonthorn rights and Sonthern interests, they do not agrse among themselves as to what eenatitutos either.

formal appointment, as required by law. On this point it is Immaterial as to what counsel admitted away; to form a judgment is ocr doty, regardless of concessions by parties concerned. Tet it is doe to the attomies en-gaged-for Mr. Woods to say that their ad missions on this bead were msrely for argu ment'a aeke. V c’ \ t 1 But from these points, the undersigned proceed straight to the very section of the Constitution on which the majority have rested thvir resolution—Sec. 30, Art. 4: it reads, “No Senator or Respresentative shall, daring the term for which he may have been elected, be eligible to any offi je, the election to which is vested in the General Assembly; nor shall he be appointed to any civil office of profit, which shall have been created, or the emoluments of which shall have been

increased daring such term.”

If Mr. Woods had no other ground of reliance, this clear provision would be sufficient for him ; and we frankly admit that upon it more than op any other, we base our opinion. It is expressly applicable to Senators ; it sets an absolute prohibition upon them during their term of office; its reading is simply—A Senator shall not be a 'pointed to any civil office of profit created during his term. The facts reported by the majority show that Mr. Woods was a Senator in 1855, and that at the same session of the Legislature at which he appeared and took his seat, the act creating the office of Moral Instructor, was parsed and approved ; and thus he was brought directly within the operation of sec.

30, above quoted.

In this view of the case, we find ourselves addressed with the questions,—Mr. Woods being a Senator in 1865, and the office of

Senate, a proposition not only at war with the principles of the Kansas-Nebraeba bill, but renderad wholly impracticable by the laws of population and emigration. The propositions of the Standard and Richmond Enquirer, besides being subversive of the settled Democratic policy of the country, are so unfortunate ae to have no respectable number of advooatee

According to the beautifnl logic of the Delta, tho free States should be held in check by some suck means is those propoeed by the Enquirer, till the South have seized upon Cuba, Central America, and stepped over into Mexico as fer a the Sierra Nevada, when the tbe pari passu doctrine mast oease to operate. In other words, it may be need to prevent the North Irora interposing obstacles to Southern FilUbveterina, bat not M' prevent Sonthern political ascendancy after the desired sieve territory shall have bken acquired. The very medeat end philosophical reaasn which the Delta MdgM for this master stroke of policy is, that the North, as * people, at a nation, so to speak, is aggressive, and power In its hands wonld be fatal to the Sooth, end •ubrerelve of the Union ; whilst on the other hand, tbe Sonth is conservative, eui" the interest of both North and South raqnirea that the latter ahonld have the political ascendancy.

been created in 1855, was be not disqualified from holding the place? And if he was disqualified by the constitution, can this Legislature, or rather, this Senate, invest him with that office for any purpose whatever ? To vacate his seat, cau the Senate rise in power above the constitution? Can it presume to do what that instrument has so peremptorily

forbidden?

We say he was disqualified; and so do the

majority. Their language is—“If Mr. Woods were before us upon a quo warranto for holding the office of Moral Instructor, with the facts admitted in tbe case, we should unhesitatingly decide that he was ineligible, and

could not legally hold the office.” Does tho majority mean to say that their

consciences as Judges would not be what they are as Senators? Or do they wish to be understood as asserting what is -'quite as absurd, viz : that Mr. Woods, in their opinion, could not legally hole' tbe office of Moral Instructor; but it is all the same,—having the power, they will vacate his seat precisely as if he had been eligible and had legally

held it T '• y fi If the Senate believe that Mr. Woods was

ineligible and eonld not legally hold the office of Moral Instructor, apd yat that h* did hold it Je facto, the question is not as to tbe morality or immorality of his conduct, since it is not proposed to censure him; but as tc th» effect of that holding upon his office of Senator. Is the latter office thereby vacated? The majority reply affirmatively, and even say that the courts have so decided. On the other hand, we say the question is original, and hr.s not been settled one way or the other. The case relied on by the majority is that of Dailey vs. the State, on relation of Suffer, VIII Blackford, 329. That was an information in the nature of quo warranto, on the re-

sessicn of the Senate, January, 1855, he appe'.red, presented hi» credentials, and was duly sworn into office as a Senator.” 3. That no one was found “contesting the validity of his election, and his original right
