and rapport the Preeident, and the could well afford to, as he had been
restoration to health. He returned ts ua n Democrat, and had to act out the princlplesof
hia early teachings. The Freedmeh’s BOreSra conferred almost absolute powep upon the
Tke CItII Rights Bill. The second section of*the fourth article of the Constitution of the United States la as follows: 1. The citizens of each State shall he entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. 2. A person charged In any State with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee from justice, and he found in another State, shall, on demand of the executive authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to lie removed to tho State having jurisdiction of the crime. 3. No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, In consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor; but shall be delivered op on alaim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due. Mainly under the first subdivision of this section, Mr. Trumbull introduced hi* Civil Rights bill; and, on its veto, by the President, Mr. SfiKLLABAROER, of Ohio, introduced, under the same section, another Civil Rights bill, but less far-reaching, in Its machinery at least, than that of Trumbull, which bill of SHKLlabarger, since the final passage of Trum bull’s bill over the veto, will be no further
needed.
It was under the third subdivision of the above section that tho Fugitive Slave Law was enacted by Congress. That law the Republicans pronounced unconstitutional and void; void, they said, because that clause of the Constitution was a league with hell and not to be obeyed; unconstitutional, they said, If not void for immorality, because the clause in the Constitution imposed the duty of delivering up fugitives on the States, and left legislation therefor to them, and did not confer on Congress power to legislate, at all, on the subject. This was the position. We admit, said the Republicans, that tho Constitution gives the right to the South of a return of her fugitives; but we deny that Congress has the right to enforce their return by legislation executed by United States otlleers. lienee, we hold the law of Congress unconstitutional, and the United States officers who come to execute and enforce It, kidnappers. Thus holding, they rescued the fugitives from the United States marshals, and caused those marshal's to be arrested and imprisoned in the State prisons, through the agency of State officers and courts. They organized the Son* of Liberty, armed themselves and forcibly resisted tho Federal government on the point. That constitutional provision, touching the surrender of fugitives, said the Republicans, imposes an obligation on the States; it is for each State to make provisions for enforcing that obligation by its citizens; and Congress has no right to touch the subject. Thus decided the Republican State judges; thus decided the Republican State legislatures. Now, then, the Republicans having established themselves in this position, namely, that Congress could not interfere to cause runaway slaves to be returned to their masters, and that each State had power over the subject, in itself alone, they proceeded a step further, and decided that, the obligation being upon each State, not upon Congress, and the obligation being, in their opinion, immoral, they would not enforce it all! Nor did they stop here; they enacted laws making it a penal offense for the officers and citizens of their States, severally, to aid In their return under the act of Congress! Thus tho solemn provision of the Constitution, upon the faith of which the South came into the Union was abrogated, and the South compelled to leave the Union, or have the benefit of only so much of the Constitution as the North saw lit to give her. Thus, the fugitives being all from and to be returned to the South, the contest became a sectional one, a war of tho North upon, and against the constitutional rights of the South, and the civil war was the consequence. From what has been said, it will appear plain, also, to every one, that, if Congress possessed the power to pass a fugitive bill, it was necessary that that power should be exercised, to its fullest extent, because the States refused to fulfill the solemn constitutional obligation, upon which the Union was formed, and the breach of which, of itself, dissolved the Union, for, as Webster expressed It, the breach of a compact by one party, as matter of law, absolves the other from its obligation. He has a right to rescind, at once, on breach if he pleases. But, now, the Republicans, in a case where there was no necessity for Congress to assume power, and the Stages could all be trusted, with the most perfect safety, to carry into effect the first subdivision above quoted, and which they have always executed, with a judicious discretion; the Republicans, we say, now shift ground, and enact a law, under the first above quoted subdivision, infinitely more destructive to Stale rights than the fugitive law ever was. Under the fugitive law, it was never contended that State judges were reached by it; they were not bound to enforce it. Congress did not claim power, under the fugitive clause, to do any thing but simply secure the return of fugitives, as the Constitution demanded. It did not assume to meddle with the domestic concerns of the States, further than simply to return fugitives which did not belong to those States to which they had escaped. But the Civil Rights bill, as passed, goes upon the principle of a power in Congress to crush out all State rights; and is enacted, in a matter where there was no necessity for it,for the Stdtes were all fulfilling the constitutional provision. The law was passed by the rump Congress simply to exhibit its assumed power, as a radical Republican doctrine^ to enuh the States when it pleased. It thus appears that, in passing the Civil Rights bill, the Republicans have abandoned their old State rights doctrines; have passed a bill interfering with the States in a matter where Congress had, we admit, concurrent jurisdiction to a limited extent, but which it was unnecessary and injudicious to exercise at all; and in exercising which the Republicans have not only gone beyond expediency, but, as the bill is framed, away beyond constitutional power, as estimated by the followers of Jefferson and Jackson, but not as estimated by the Republicans, who hold that their ideas of necessity and public good allow them to override all rights of the States, and disregard all limitations of the Constitution. We may jMljk, 14 conclusion, that the Republicans dftcfkhn tho right to interfere with political rights in the States, In contradistinction to civil, and hence disclaim the power to confer suffrage on the uegrsesf This disclaimer ts for the time, simply.

The death of young Jackson affects the writer of this with more than ordinary sorA young man of a high order of talents, of raperior attainments, of a generous and noble nature, he had stood to us in the relation of a student at law for the period of three sessions of the law school. We knew him; we appreciated him. Why was be rat off, at the very threshold of manhood life, while so many less worthy, less calculated for usefulness, are permitted to
live?
What prospects, what hopes of earthly happiness, were blasted, when Jackson died! Possessed of an abundance of thia world’s goods, surrounded by numerous and deroied friends, with the honors and applause of the public but little ahead of him on his path, if there was any one that waa in a situation to live, with something to live for, and to accomplish by living, it would seem to have been Jackson. Unscrutable are the ways of Providence. We mourn the loss of young Jackson; we sympathize with hia surviving relatives and friends.
. Politics. We apprehend there will now be a Inll in politics. The contest between the Republican rump Congress and Republican President has terminated in the triumph of the rump. The rump hae got possession of the Government. By excluding eleven States from representation altogether, and by lawlessly expelling a sufficient number of Union representatives from the rump body to give it two-thirds of that, it has secured full sway to disunionism, which it will retain till the people shall, at the next election, change the rump into a National Union Congress. This rump will not Impeach the Republican President It will have no occasion to do it By resolving itself^nto permanent session, it deprives him of his power and patronage; by its two-thirds vote it will pass what laws it pleases. The President is now out of the way.

Johnson
eckes of Messrs. Mo _ Yawter, and Mc-
Nutt.
On Saturday we made a brief visit to Franklin for the purpose of attending the Democratic convention of Johnson county. Arriv ing there we were entertained at the Franklin House, where we met a host of the Democracy. After partaking of an elegant dinner, prepared by the proprietor of that first class hotel, we repaired to the court house, which was filled with the honest yeomanry of the county, all feeling deeply Interested in the result of the balloting for county officers, to be elected in October. Aa at the April elec* tion, all the townships had gone for the Democrats, a nomination is equivalent to an elec-
tion.
There is no use in the nlggerheads making any effort to defeat the Democracy of old Johnson, as she will give eight hundred majority for her county ticket and for the Democratic candidate for Congress, at the October
election.
After the convention organized and the various committees had retired to prepare matters for the consideration of the convention, the Hon. Joseph E. McDonald was introduced, and said he felt rejoiced that he bad an opportunity of meeting with the Democracy of Johnson county, for at this time we all had tho liberty of speech, and said that heretofore, for more than four years, the liberty of speech hud been withheld, and we had received nothing but abuse from the hands of our opponents, and it would seem as if they had considered us as alien enemies to our country; but the country was ours as much as theirs; we were as much interested in it* management and prosperity as they were, and thought the Democracy had us much, if not more ability to take charge of the politics of the country than our opponents. Fortun ately times had changed, and sober second thoughts were fast convincing the great mass of the people of that fact. However, we should exercise no spirit of prejudice against our enemies; nc personal abuse, no bard names that our opponents had used towards us. They could beat us at that. The people do not like it. Arguments only should be used. Nearly every househojd in the land gives evidence of the war. But It is now closed, and the injuries it haa entailed are almost irreparable. It becomes us all to do our duty, in order that the burden may fall aa light aa possible upon tbose who have been sufferers by the war; and this includes ua all. He did not believe the war should have come upon the country; did not believe in the policy of tho men who had charge of the country during Its progress. The war being ended, what is the situation of the southern States? One set of politicians insist that the Government has conquered those States, and should hold them as conquered territories. Another did not !>o» lieve in the revolution of the States, but of the people—States always in the Union, and the suppression of the rebellion left them the same as before the war. The Crittenden resolution, passed by Congress in IStfl, must bo adhered to and sustained by the Government. We must accept them, upon that basis, as States never legally out of the Union. If we go upon the basis that they are conquered territories, we have to assume all their liabilities, as all foreign Governments have to assume tho liabilities of their conquered provinces. The debts of Mexico must be paid. General Jackson made France pay Its debts, contracted before the revolution, but these propositions are all wrong. The Republican party insists upon these propositions for the purpose of mouldingfionthetn institutions. A fanatic cannqt reason SUtsidc the circle of his fanaticism. The negro, and negro equality, are all the Republicans can see. The issue is fairly made up, and we insist that tho whites must govern the country. He hardly knew how to designate the opposition party now before the country. There was the Congress party, Union party, Republican party, fusion party, the people’s party, and in 1854, they were the Know Nothing partv, and the convention that met in Indianapolis on the 22d of February, 1866, were the “ no name ” party, and this convention took sides with Congress against the President in his reconstruction policy; and the issue in Indiana was now fairly made up for Congress and negro eqnality; or for the President and against negro equality. _ > The Democrats sustain the President in his policy of reconstruction that the States must control the right of suffrage; aud States should oppose negroes voting—no mixed elective franchise. Mexico and the South American states are failures as republics. The Know Nothing party did more to destroy the validity of the ballot box than anything heretofore known in the country. Negro equality would tend to deatroy entirely the validity of the bal-
lot box.
The Government must be entirely in the
ar upon tne President, and in vetoing it and refusing thi 1 pewer,hehad given greater qiliMM «# iii patriotism and love of country tban^ny man that ever lived. OWTlUfia arikVxNS h*l*ald the Governmeat was shaking, which, it true, made it the more necessary Mist we should stand by and sustain the President,’ as he was the only safeguard rad breakwater against the. breaking up of the American republic. Ho will have to suffer; they are now ssyihg he must be impeached. They have a two-thirds vote, and can pass any bill they see proper over his veto. They have passed the Civil Rights bill through the .Senatq £js yeto by a twe-tlurda veto, and old Thau/mMrah has but to crack his whip when it will be passed through the House, and become the law of the land—a bill far more Infamous and dangerous to the liberties of the American people than the Freedmen’s Bureau bill, which they attempted to pass a short time since. Mr. McDonald continued in this strain for about one hour, touching upon various questions presented; among others, the taxation oi Government bonds, which he insisted should
be done.
The Democratic candidate for Treasurer of State, Hon. J. B. Ryan, was called fcr, had addressed a few words to his old friends. He had lived many years in Johnson county, and was pleased te see the interest felt among the Democrats of this section of tho State. He had not got his speaking harness on yet, but would break himself ia soon, when bo would give them another call. He assured his friends the finances of the State would be safe' in his hands, as he could give the bonds necessary, and the State should bn no loaer in ^cotiaB him. He thanked his friends of Johnson for standing by him in the convention, as he look, ed with much interest to the uetion of Daviess and Johnson counties, having resided in both places. He thanked the Democrats present for their kind attention. Mr. Ryan was followed by Mr. Vawteb, the gentleman who is to represent Johnwn county in the legislature next winter. Mr. V. assured the people their interests would be well looked after and attended to. Mr. McNutt, of Morgan county, being present, was called out, rad spoke encouragingly of the prospects In Morgan. Ho said we will be sure to elect all our candidates, if they don't vote the tombstones on us. At the conclusion of Mr. McNutt’S remarks three rousing cheers were given for the President, the speaker, and the ticket Just nominated by tbe convention. We latter ourselves that the HERALD has been somewhat instrumental in securing the election of Democratic officers in every township in J ohnson county, as it has a large circulation there; and we are assured that its subscription will be vastly Increased. The gentlemen nominated are eminently worthy and deserving of the united support of all Democrats and aduiinsatralira men; aud we have no doubt but the Democratic majority in Johnson county next October, will be larger than ever heretofore. We hope that our friends in Morgan county will Indorse the resolution passed by the Johnson county convention which refers to Mr. McNutt; and should they send him, as Johnson will undoubtedly send Mr. Vawtkr, to the Legislature next fall, they may rest assured that their interests will be well looked after, as two better men could not be selected for the position. Mr. Ragsdale, the nominee for treasurer, thanked the convention, and felt certain of being elected. Mr. Owens, tbe nominee for sheriff, also thanked the Democrats of Johnson county,and said he would do all in his power to aid the
party.
Mr. White and Mr. Wilhox will also aid all they can to roll up the majority of Johnson county for the Democratic county and State
tickets.
After the adjournment of the convention, we partook of a tine collation, famished by our friend Slater, who has placed us under many obligations for his kind attention. Hoping we may again have the pleasure of meeting our friends of Johnson county, wo tender to them the thanks of this office for their many kindnesses to us, and their exertions in promoting the circulation of* the Herald.

Franklin, Indiana,!

The convention was caled to order by Honorabled David Yawter, who briefly stated the object of tbe meeting; and on motion of tbe Honorable A. V. Pendleton, was elected permanent chairman, and Messrs. E. M. Woollen and M. K. Slater elected secretaries. On motion, one from each township was appointed to draft resolutions expressive ot the sense of the meetisg. »- The chair appointed the following gentlemen : > • Franklin township, Charles By field. Union township, John Harris. White River township, Daniel O. Doty. Pleasant township, Daniel Brewer. Clark township, John R. Carver. Blue River township, N. 8. Branigan. Hensley township, Samuel Green. Ninevah township, James Riohsrd. During the absence of the committees on resolutions and nominations, a motion was made that the Hon. Joseph E. McDonald address the meeting. Mr. McDonald was then Introduced by the chairman, and for one hour, in his well known, forcible and logical style, held his audience spell bound.

port.
Resolved', That we recommend tbe ticket nominated by tbe Democracy of Johnson county at the ballot box on the first Monday lu April, to the warm and generous support of the Democracy of our county; and that we pledge ourselves to give each nominee an old
fashioned Demscratic majority.
Resolved, That wc thank Andrew Johnson for his veto of the Civil Rights bill, and assure him that he baa our support in standing by
the Constitution of our fathers.
Resolved, That we condemn tbe madness of the radicals in Congress, by overturning tbe Constitution and setting aside all precedents. by excluding members of the Senate and House of Representatives, because they stood by the President in sustalqfog the Con-
stitution of our Gonernment.

Indiana case, says:
“Mr. Milligan, we understand, passed through this city this afternoon, on hte way home. Hie vile persecutors and attempted assassins will yet near from him.” Wheat.—The Franklin Jtfersonian, ot
Saturday, says:
“The appearance of the growing wheat crop in Johnson county, upon the whole, is what some of our formers torn* ‘sorry/ That is. it dra not present a very promising appearance. However, if the weather proves favorable, we have yet a chance, we trust, for a good wheat crop,” —A Democratic club has been formed et AndeieoR, and Eteaaer Malone elected presh Uent. and E. Y. Long, editor of the Standard, secretary. They will hold a meeting at the court house next Monday night. The Democrats of this staunch Democratic town are thoroughly aroused. We hope the same spirit which prevails there will be infused Into Democrats of other towns end cities. —The Morgen Gazette is making a great ado over tbe fact that the Republican ticket was not defeated at Martinsville last Monday, and claims it as a victory. The fact is, the Republican candidate was elected by forty-five majority, a smaller majority by sixty votes tlian the Republicans had et the previous election. The Democrats of that region should present this blower with a penny trumpet. —Mr. Henry Sperry, proprietor of the Merchant Mill, near Crawfordsville, has met with a heavy loss. The foundation of a portion of hi# building gave way, last Monday, precipitating amidst the ruins below, near three thousand bushels of wheat, and seven hundred barrel* of floor. The loss will foil but little short of (10,000. Wells County.—Tbe Democrat* of Bluffton elected their trustee by 88 fDKlority. They carried the townships of Jac^pn, Liberty, Rock Creek, Union, Lancaster aid Harrison. The Republicans carried Jefferson and Nottingham. A gain of CO votes Is reported on the last spring election. -■* Franklin County.—The primary meetings for the noaiinntion of candidates for tUF* several otliccs to be filled in Franklin county, were held last Monday. Thomas Gifford received a majority of the votes for Senator^' C. R. Covy, for Representative; C. B. Bentley, for Auditor; J. B. Moorway, for Treasurer; N. Bath, for Commissioner; and J. L. Case for Sheriff. Of course, the June convention will will indorse these nominations. Blackford County.—The Democrats of Hartford city fought a gallant battle last Monday and defeated tho enemy by eleven votes. Hurrah for Hartford city, say we, Tatod thousands of Democrats will join with us in the shout. Thus another Republican stronghold is wrenched from the enemy. Tbe Democrats of Hartford were so rejoiced at their victory that they huilt a large bonfire in the evening and made the welkin ring with their shouts. Johnson County.—Tbe following gentlemen were nominated on Monday by the Democracy of Johnson county,; Representative—D. G. Yawter.' Sheriff—W. A. Owens. County Treasurer—William Ragsdale. County Commissioner—George B. White. —The railroad from Franklin to Falrland is about completed, and the work from FraakMn to Martinsville will be renewed shortly. —It is stated that Mr. Prapier will, In a short time, resume the publication of the South Bend Forum. We hops such wiU prove the fact. Tbe Democrats of St. Joseph have had no paper for several years past, and we hope they will give this enterprise their united support. No fears need now be entertained of tbe destruction of Democratic printing presses by Abolitionists; they have no soldlera to do their bidding now. Marshall County.—The Democrats of Plymouth elected their township trustee by one hundred and nine majority; a gain of sixty since last spring. Tbe Democrat, of the 5th
instant, says:
“ Returns from the election in the several townships in this county, have not all been received, but enough are in to indicate a Democratic majority in the county of about three hundred. The Republicans carried but two townships—Tippecanoe and Union.” —Of the spring^lectioh in Franklin county, the Democrat, ot the 6th instant, says: “ The spring election ia this county passed off on Monday last in the several townships to the greatest suUsfaetkm of the Democrats, giving them an increased majority in nearly all of them: Bath, Blooming, Grove and Metamora being tbe only ones in which the Democrats did not achjevc a victory; and in Bath it was onlv prevented hr a local consideration which it may have been poTTcy for them to have given way as they did. In rosoy, Springfield, White Water, and Salt Creek, the majority Is largely increased.” r Clinton County.—The Democracy ofClinton did nobly last Monday. In nearly every township they have gained largely upon their former votes. Our friend of the Frankfort Crescent remarks: “ in almost every locality we bear of Damocratic gains, indicating that, notwithstanding the vituperation and slang hurled at the Democratic party, and in the face of the can tinned

He called on all soldiers to vote on V>e adoption of the preamble end resolution, and, upon arising vote being taken, twenty-nine voted in the affirmative and only three in tbe nega-
tive.
Three rousing cheers were then given for the soldiers, ana throe more for Andrew John-
son.
Hon. A. H. Robbins was called for, and addressed the meeting in his usual able manner. H. B. Jamison, esq., made a short but able speech, frilly indorsing tbs President’s veto. Hon. Hugh Miller arose and said that he considered Andrew Johnson not s Democratic President nor a BepabUcan President, but, “ thank. God, the President of the noble American people.” [Great applause.] William Stu^eon, esq., briefly addressed the meeting. Captain Anderson and Captain Gliek both indorsed Johnson, and believed him to be the wh'te man’s President. Dr. C. F. Harter being loudly called for, came forward and said that he was glad to see that the President had stepped in and said to the Abolition party, “thus far you can come and no further.” On motion, the meeting adjourned sine die.
