There is the resolution on the subject, of the convention of the loth. Is it consistent with the Constitution, or not? On the subject of religious legislation, great . changes of opinion have taken place, since men were burnt at tho stake flfrf here'sy, and a man was lashed, irk Connecticut, with a cat o’ nine tails far kissing his wife on Sunday.

On the subject of the constitutionality or expediency of a Sunday law, wo say nothing as a politician beyond tho above resolution of the platform of our convention. There is the resolution; read for yourselves. ^ 0ut, as an individual, we quote from the last opinion delivered by us,while on the bench, on ‘the jfect «• fold's. jJVg jinoio from tire case of TlIOMASSON vs. the Stated 15 Indiana, t-om-
mencing on p. too.
It has been held by this court that that law was valid, lad. Dig. 753; but the writer of this opinion, speaking on this point for himself alone, wishes to say that further reflection has led hinPtQ doubt the power of the Legislature «f Indiana, under^our present Constitution,
to enact such a statute.
When our existing Government was created, its creators determined that there were sonic matters in which the majority should nut control the minority; that there were nine tlun^s over which the Legislature should not nave authorU^j. that iii some things the pooplc t ; v, be. Within.the power of the Legi-la-tdfer. fwleh U. our organization of government—our Constitution. ”uhe of the su Jeo - withdrawn by tliat Constitution, in the Lm of Rights, from legislative interference, is tiiat of religion; and the writer has no hesitation in saying, highly as he individually values the Sabbath, that if the Sunday law is upon the statute, book lor the protection or en- *■*' forcemont of the’ observance of that day, ns an institution of the Christian religion, it can not be upheld; no more than could a law forbidding labor on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, or any and all .other' days of tho week, which may be, in fultillment of a requirement of a creed, set apart for religious observance, by any portion of our citizens, whether Christian, Jewish, Mahomniedan or Pagan.

Andy Hnmpltreys. tis gentleman, a civilian, having escaped t the dutches of one of those miserable military despots, now pronounced lawless by thejynmt, Holt, jps, as a freeman,in attendance upon tlie late glorious Democratic convention. The Journalis very much exercised at this; he is indignant, and why; because Humphreys was one of those arrested and imprison)Srington & Co.! Does the Journal ^jat every man lawlessly arrested and i into prison by this Carrington and lis squad is to be disfranchised? It would be a very happy thing for the present disunion Reptiblienn party, could this be so, we admit; JLfc would enable it to hold power, because, during its tyrannical rule, it has forcibly thrown into dungeons almost every prominent man that differed in opinion with its President. , The list of its political prisoners equals that^of the Austrian despot. Since the spirit of liberty that has been permitted to rise again Oder Andy Johnson, these political suffer--ijs are again to breathe the free air, to enjoy, short, the freeman’s rights of which they bad been lawlessly deprived. And while the Journal is so shocked that Carrington & Co.’s persecuted and wrecked victims, punished for differing with the President, and resisting mob violence, are allowed to walk the earth, what does it think of Johnson for permitting to run at large such traitors as Chase, Sumner, Walcott, Julian and the Republican Sons of Liberty, generally, who since 1850, have been organized to denounce the administration, to resist the Government and laws; and to say, as was said at the Cleveland meeting, as we quoted but two or three days ago, by Giddings, Wolcott, Governor Chase, Spaulding and others, that the resistance should be “ thundered from the mouth of cannon?” Shall President Johnson let these Republican traitors go at large, unhung, unwhipt of justice, and yet confine Andy Humphueys, whose only crime was opposition to the treasonable lawlessness of these Republican traitors? Not be! It is the day of Andys

If the cotton States unitedly and earnestly wish to withd.aw peacefully from tho Union, we think they should and would be allowed to do so. Any attempt to compel them by force to remain, would be contrary to the principles enunciated in the immortal Declaration of Independence, contrary to the fundamental ideas on which human liberty is hused.—Tribune, November 20, 1800. When one who wanted to coax traitors to desist from tiring on the flag, seizing the fortresses, etc., •* * .asks you to unite with him in a political movement, don't do it!—7/7bunc, Man h 5, IstKi.

We are thankful to the iale State convention
for the following compliment:
On motion o*f Mr. Hanna, of Vigo, the fol-
lowing resolution war adopted:
Resolved, That the Indianapolis Daily Herald, as the central organ of our party in the State, and the Indiana Volksblatt, as the organ of the German Democrats, are entitled to the confidence oi the party, and this convention earnestly insists, as one of the finstrumentalities to secure success, that efforts be made to extend their circulation to all parts of the State, and that this convention recommend them to the generous and hearty support of
the Democracy.
New Hampshire Election. The election in New Hampshire has gone, it appears, just about as it did last year, and the Republicans rejoice over it. Of course the Democracy expect nothing from New England. Connecticut will go the same way, we presume. New England supports Congress against the President. It is for the nigger, high protective tariff and disunion, just as it was in the days of the Hartford convention, and when Hale and Adams were asking of Congress a dissolution of the Union. New England is with Chase, Giddings, and the Sons of Liberty, of 1850-60. The western Democracy expect nothing better of New England abolition Yankees. The Freedmen’a Bureau. Hon Edward Bates, Mr. Lincoln’s Attorney General, in a letter on the Freedmen’s Bureau bill, uses this language: I think I understand it. I can see (the most casual reader can see) its glaring and defiant breaches of the Constitution—and I think I can see also the hidden motive, the secret design of the conspirators, who planned the scheme to overturn our Government of law, and set up in its stead a frightful military oligarchy. And this wicked purpose betrays itself in several provisions of the bill, which are so arranged in the context as to seem, to a hasty observer, to be secondary and subordinate to the ostensible object, tnc protection of
the freedmen.

for the Indianapolla Daily Herald. Alexander Campbell.
The telegraph bore, a few days ago, intelligence of the death of Elder Alexander Cami>bell, which occurred at his residence on Sunday night, March 4. Though the day is already memorable, by reason of the inaugural ceremonies of every new President of our republic, it will nevertheless be long remembered by the religious world, as the day when the greatest luminary of the church of this present age passed away, as a living character, from the scenes of this earth. We arc not the pauygerist of Mr. Campbell, but must express the conviction that in him was centered, in the most extraordinary degree, a larger number of the elements essential to the constitution of true greatness, than have been eouibined in any man of tho nineteenth century. Assoso -inted w ith a strong physical constitution, he was endowed by nature with a vigor, strength and eapacity of mind, which, developed and disciplined by thorough scholastic training, made him one of the loftiest type of humanity. In no way could ho be regarded as the production or oOt cropping of any of that class of fortuitous circumstances which sometimes give being and conspieuity to man. Neither was his the resplendent light of genius, which attracts and dazzles by Its brilliancy, hut the clear, bold light of genuine intelligence and moral supremacy. With a comprehensiveness, which enabled him at a single glance to bring in review the whole area of any subject, and a profound analysis, which discovered to him the true and substantial foundation on which to rest his conclusion*, he properly sought as the appropriate sphere Of ids intellectual operation* the wide fields

pati larcBM’ftitery of government? Square Against Johnson.
The Journal has takfein its position squarely against Johnson and for Congress. We now •'know where it stands. We are not quoting this as matter of surprise or matter of complaint. The Journal must take some position; it must be for or against the restoration of the Union; for or against permitting eleven States, almost ohe-thlrd of the Union, to be represented in the Congress of the Union. A paper Can not be for¥oth these positions, can not be for the President and Congress; and when a paper announces that it is for one, it need not announce In words that it is against the other, because that is a necessary consequence. Now, what is the issue between the Prcsident and Con grew? Simply this:. J6hnbon says that the South is entitled to bo immediately represented in Congress by men elected, who can take the oath to support the Constitu- , <; Uon of the United States, without regard to whether they took part in tho civil war or not. The Republicans say that the South shall not be represented in Congress till it sends men who can take the unconstitutional test oath, namely, an oath, not only that they will, in future, support the Constitution of the United States but that they did not voluntarily take part in the civil war Imtlapast. This oath, scarcely a man in the South, who is fit to be a representative in Congress can take, beeaus^such Vfas tho policy of the late Administration that it cfrbve nearly every man in the South into the rebellion, voluntarily as against the North. Consequently, the Republican position is disunion for one generation at least. In this we do not wrong, do not mis-state the Journal. We quote its
language of yesterday, as follows:
“The Urhon party is in favor of the admission of all representatives from the South who were loyal to the government throughout the struggle, and no others. This is the issue, and we submit it to the loyal people of ludl- / afa, witlf chUrc confidence that they Will rcpfidfate the convention of yesterday, and all
its works.”
. la tins extract<the Journal States its position plainly and unequivocally. We are glad that it has done so. It plant* Itself squarely with the Congress against the President. Now, we can classify our papers; the Journal and Gazette are Republican Congress disunion papers. The Herald is the only administration Democratic Union paper. By the by, what people does the Journal mean when it says that the issue is to be submitted to the loyal people. Does it mean the supporters of Chase, Giddings, Sumner, Wade, and the radical Republicans, who wanted' to thunder their opposition to the government out of the mouth of the cannon? Does it mean those? Does it?
farther advanced than it* beginning—if some malignant fate has decreed that the blood and treasure of the nation shall ever lM'si|Uandered in fruitlc>* cflnrts. let us bow to our destiny and make the best attainable peace.— Tribune, January-". 1*02. VVe have produced these old and well known quotation* for two reasons: first, to show the dishonest and partisan purposes of those who now advise their followers to keep up old party lines and retain old animosities, so as to prevent united support of the President; and second, because they are upt illustrations of tlic President’s assertion that tliene radical men are enemies of the Union, and it is well to remind leaders of their existing record. We can not forget the earnest eftorU of their lenders in JSOO and l^ii to effect ‘•peaceable accession.” We can not forget that when the war became a fixed fact, they devised every possible way to increase its labor and cost. We can not forget the steady reiteration, from week to week and month to month, of their w illingness to get rid of the Southern States, their discouraging prophecies, all looking to disunion, and ex pressed in such sentences as Hie following, wliieh we take from the New York Tribune, of June 27,1801: ‘•If we can not beat the rebels, bent them fairly, thoroughly, and with reasonable promptitude—we ought to acknowledge their independence. If we are too few or weak to conquer them by arms, we should be ashamed to reduce them by famine. * * If the rebels ire no^ virtually whipped when the next spring opens, and if they shall meanwhile hove stcadfautiy confronted our troops on every mutual frontier without losing p and, we may consider that the republic has been betrayed by the folly or incompetence of its trusted leaders, and that disunion is a fixed lact.” “ It is just absurd to talk of a three years’ war for tho Union.” “We can scarcely recall an instance in which an insurrection that held his ground for a year or more was afterwards defeated. We published numerous similar sentiments from the Indiana Journal, two or three days
ago.

The'Trenctaeroua Treatment of the Sonth by theLate Administration. Rogues are falling out, and the assertions that have been made by the Democrats as to the continued treachery of the late Administration to the South, in promising that people one thing and doing another, thus continually irritating them, first into overt hostile acts, and then into a continuance of them, are now being admitted by Republicans. The letter of the Washington correspondent of the Cfhcinnati Gazette, in that paper last Thursday, contains the fallowing as to SRwabd, who it charges, is now seeking to be the Democratic candidate for President in 1868, Mr. Seward has stated privately, within a short time, that he is to be the next President, and he expects the support of the South. There are four points in Mr, Seward’s course during the war that it may be well to consider. In the first place, the proof is positive that he gave pledges to the South Carolina Commissioners, Forsyth, Crawford and Roman, through third parties, that Fort Sumter should 1/c evacuated. He then defeated the possibility of relieving the garrison, by sending the only vessel on the whole coast that could render the expedition successful, to another point. While she was being prepared by the express order of Mr. Lincoln and the Navy department, fbr the expedition against Sumter, and when the fleet at length sailed, expecting to meet the v *sel which had put to sea at Fort Sumter, Mr. Seward caused a disputrh to be sent to tho robe Is in Charleston, informing them that a licet had sailed to relieve Sumter, upon which the rebels opened tire upon the fort and reduced it. These are grave statements, but they are susceptible of abundant proof. The second point is this: During the first years of the war the assertions of the Secretary, as contained in lii, dispatches, were to this effect—that whether the rebellion was crushed or successful, either »n part or wholly so, that the status of the slave would remain unchanged. About the time of the peace conference his dispatches asserted that all that was necessary was for the South to send members to occupy tiie seats which were open to them in Congress, and settle all points Of dispute by legislation. In his Auburn speech, which it will be remembered was made a short time before the conversation already referred to ut'Demopoiis, he maintained the doctrine of the continuance of the Wates of the Union, and that all that was needed to restore matters to their former state waste have the South send members to occupy their vacant seats. If the statements of tho politician to whom reference has been made, can be relied upon, at this very time negotiations has already been ^opened with Mr. Sew aril. The fourth point is that Seward originated Johnson's present policy, that his visit to Havana was to meet leading Southerners, and that he is confidential with Democrats.
only, was to l/c found that which was broad enough, and deep enough, to satisfy the demand* of this investigating, colossal mind. Mr. Campbell may, like every other man, have had his errors, but an honest judgment will ever shield him from the charge of a selfish ambition. Had a feeling of this kind controlled him, that open pathway to lionor'and fame and leadership, which by indeiitifying himself with any of the strong and popular religious sects of the day would have been accepted by him. instead, however, of this, he followed, one by one, the conscientious convictions of liis mind, till it led, not only to the renunciation of the chcri-hed dogmas of In* earlier Christian life, but also to the painful separation of personal friendships. That lie was humble, ids whole life fully attests. No boastful pretensions or words have ever beou ascribed to him, and yet, in the light of what he has done, Said and written, no mail has a better right to be proud'than he. The plan of his lifs was “ a return to the original jmrity and simplicity of Gospel teaching and practice, and the union of all Christians, now unhappily divided by ecclesiastical creeds, upon tire Bible and the Bible alone.” On these he has written and debated much. From the world, and the body of religious denominations. more than four hundred thousand persons have come out and arrayed themselves with him, while his views are doing much in shaping and moulding the religious sentiments of the Protestant churches of every name. The graces of lib domestic life were of the loveliest kind—gentle, benevolent and courte-
ous.

Important Decision. An important decision on the subject of the value of United States treasury notes, making them equal in every respect in legal contemplation, to similar denominations in gold, lias just been rendered at the general term of the New York Superior Court. The agreement in this case was to pay freignt money in gold or silver, on delivery of cargo in New York. The plaintiffs, John Wilson & Co., owners of the British ship Atlanta, in January, 1863, chartered the vessel to Gillunders, Arbuthnot & Co., of Calcutta, and the cargo was consigned to Edwin D. Morgan and others, of this city. The vessel arrived here in June, and freight money, amounting to !|w2,030, was tendered in treasury notes. The offer was refused and payment in specie was demanded. This was refused, and the controversy carried to the Superior Court, and the decision written by Judge Moneel, lays down the law to he that all debts can be satisfied by a tender of payment in United States treasury notes. A former adjudication has merely established that contracts make before the passage of the net ot 1802, ami providing for payment in the legal currency of the country, could be satisfied by payment in the United States treasury notes.

Curiosities of Politics.—Under the above heading tlie Petersburg Index gives the two following specimens: “Robert C. Seheuek, the Butler of Baltimore (although, for the matter of that, the poor Baltimoreans had to endure both of them) delivered a speech in the City of Monuments lust Thursday nijfht, denouncing the President. “For that identical oft'enee the same creature imprisoned men, women and ehildrau bv tbe score, during bis misrule of that city in'l8G3, ’04, ’05.” “An old man in Brooke county, West Virginia, was sentenced by a court martial to a year’s imprisonment in Fort Delaware for saving he was glad Lincoln was dead. Hundreds of Republicans are wishing Andrew Johnson was dead—is there no chance of getting them to the Dry Tortugas?” Tlie Philadelphia Inguirer s&ys: “ There is no doubt that the fairest method of assessing taxes upon property is according to the rate of rent which it yields, or might yield; and we anticipate that such a reform in the method of assessments upon real estate will become gen-
eral.”
The Richmond Examiner says: “Tho pretense that the Southern people favor repudia. tion is utterly without foundation, and is the fabriration simply of a class of presses and orators to whom truth Is an altM^V■unknown virtu#. We do not renygat’er to hjive heard even a single person in the South express a desire for repudiation. We have nothing to gain by such a step, that we can discover. We are a. part of the country, and have to bear our share of the expenses of the Government.” The Boston Commercial s&ys: “Tlierc never was so much alarm manifested by any party before concerning tho danger of being thrown out of power, us by the Republican loaders at the present time. Every thing mnst tend to the perpetuation of their party supremacy. The Union can not bo restored because it is feared this will lead to tlie defeat of the Republicans ut the next election. Even specie payment must not be resumed for the same reason. A writer in the Iribune says, if government contracts the currency, we may have a very serious crisis, which will stop business, reduce the revenue greatly, and probably sweep the Republican party out of power,” The New York World says: “The desperate project of Stevens, Forney & Co. to carry Pennsylvania against Mr. Johnson, and make Forney senator, encounters its chief obstacle in tlie popularity of the President. Stevens’ exhibition of buffoonery and harlequinum in the House, on Saturday, is a recognition of that obstacle, and an expedient to surmount it. Who cum refbte a joke? And yet what pusses in Washington for a joke too grotesque
genuineness dent Johnson’s scathing speech.” The New Y'ork Herald says that “ every radical member of Coiwress haa a new plan of government for the United States in his pocket, or has oftered one to the House. Judging from the proceedings in Congresa alone, from the view taken of the country by the radical party, we might suppose it was in the condition that France was in when a new constitution was suggested cvecy day, and a new one adopted once a fortnight.”
