' - - . . The Constitution, it seetns,ws intended only to dispense its benefits in times of peace This, to say theleast'of it,' is a strange idea. There w nothing in the instrument itself that by the remotest and most arbitrary, con struction can be - interpreted into such au : intention, and ceTtainty there is every thing in . the circumstances under which it was framed an4 adopted jto indicate, that it was designed tr operate as well in times of war as in times of peace, forj.the counfry was on the very brink ;of war when it v was ''framed and accepted, ab was well knbwh at the, time t& its framersi When the Permanent Govern men t was organi zod, 'of which the -Constitution is the life and soul,; the.country- was. in the very midst of-war, which- had already been waged on a gigantic scale for more than six months and yet nothing was then said or thought -about its being designed ,itily for peaceful developments. The truth is, the Constitution and the Goverrlaicnt (not the 1 AdministrdtWi of the government) . are . syy notiymous things; if,hot terms, because the last is organised upon tbie platform of tho first and derives! j irom it Vail its vitality. - There is -not a power that it possesses that is not granted by the Coristitutian.' The whole orbit in which tf morves and the movements thcruseh o,arv; ordained jind regulated by the Cor6titutior'ahd thei'moment this connection between tltri ceases the government, such--as it Tiorr is, dies. '"- ' .1 BuV why, we should like to know, cannpt theatfairs pf the country be conducted as vvfell under the Constitution now as in times ' of peacet It has given, every power to- Con- greRs' ana 10 ino vw'P Jcl;ebay ior gtrot?an6TiuM?Hl bT i be war. What more coul it do, and what more could be desired?--Vyhat iii to hinder Con-. gress lroin jenncimg-suitaoie laws 10 carry out the granted powers which that body possesses, so far as JaisiiAg and maintaining armies are icor.cerndd? And what hinders the President from executing such laws and using his prescribed authority so as to Tiave a sufficient force in the field to meet and repel the enemy7. From thebattle of Bethel to that of Lookout Mountain, embracing an interval of nearly twb years and a half, filled withtlie most stirring events jof the war we heard ho thing about 'h the Constitution being a stumb ling blocki to the Executive. Every body, was satisfied witli it andno journal raised; the voice of discontent that we are aware of. But since the buttle of Lookout a great change has come over the spirit of at least one jour nal, and it now raises the cry of; down with the Constitution ! Its trammels upon the government are insufferable. It had -belter WKtbra up as Vaste paper"" than, remaiif, at a time like this, the clog that it Is to the Con federacy. Such, in substarrce, is- the import . of the article fn the Richmond Jfrquiretuvon iwhich We ae commenting.' - , . We do not we cannot think that the Deo- sple of the Cdhfederiie-Statesare prepared as' ! yet to give themselves up to the embraces of absolutism, i They can conquer the enemy without the shadow of a necessity for resort ing to this prodigious, sacrifice? They can triumphantly near the'nfselves' through the struggle, anct preserver at the same time the Constitution,; whieh is the charter of their Mghtf r i .
