GOO   HATH A VOILE.
BY  ELIZA. COOK.
God hath a voice that ever is beard
In the peal of the thunder, the chirp of the bird ;
It comes in the torrent, all rapid and strong,
Iu the atreamlut's soft gush as it ripples along.
It breathes in the zephyr, just kissing the bloom ;
lt lives in the rush of the sweeping simoom ;
Let the hurric'iu'' whistle, ei* \-. ;i.i-M.r-i*s rt'j<iic<\
What do tbey tell thee l.mt God hath a voice?

Almost every regiment distinguished itself.
About 4 o'clock, Gen. Blunt arrived from Cave

and attacked the euemy in lhe rear. Tlie Rebels
made tremendous efforts to capture his batteriei

Mr. Van Jlurcn and Mrs Eaton.
The episode in which these once famous names
became associated, is one of the most interesting
in the administration of General Jackson ; concerning the rising fortunes of Mr. Van Bureu himself. The story which may he told in brief, shows
upon what slight influences the fortunes of great
men and the destinies of a great nation may tome-
times hang.
Mre. Eaton was the daughter of William O'Neal>
who kept at Washington, many years, a large, old
fashioned tavern which was a kind of headquarters
for members of Congress during its sessions. She
was a lively, handsome girl, free in her conversation, and a general favorite with her father's
guests. There were gossips and busy bodies
enough, who. for want of other victim?, seized on
poor Peg O'Neal, aud tnnde sad work with her reputation. She married in the course of events,
.Purser Timberlake, of the United States Navy, who
came to a melancholy end two or three years later-
while on duty in the Mediterranean. In Jauuary,
1S^[I—a year later, and scarcely two months before
the first inauguration of General Jackson—Major
John H. Eaton, then a member from Tennessee and
an intimate and trusted friend of the President
elect, became attached lo the still attractive Mrs
Timberlake. Shadows were still resting on lb'
good name of the youog widow, touching even
her relatious with Major Eaton before Mr. Timber-
lake's untimely death.
It is said that Gen. Jackson,coming up to Washington, fresh from Tennessee, was consulted by h:s
friend as to the wisdom of his marriage, "Why>
yt's. Major," said the General, "if you love the
woman, and she will have you, marry her, by all
means." Major Eatou suggested that Mrs. Titn-
berlake's reputation had not escaped reproach; and
that his owu name had Buffered with hers. "Well,
said the old hero, " your marrying her will disprove those charges atid restore Peg's good name.''
They were married. Time passed. Major Eaton
was called to the Cabinet of president Jackson as
head of the War Department. Imagine the horror
of Washington society! The tavern-keeper's
daughter, and proscribed widow of a reckless
navy officer, pierced with the shafts of all sorts of
scandal, the wife ol a Cabinet Minister, and enlit-
led to admission to the drawing-rooms of those
who never did any thing improper!—"Forbid it,
Gen. Jackson !*' Rut the old hero wouldn't do anything of the kind. The recollection of aspersion
once cast on his own wife, whose beloved spirit
had just passed away, contributed to the flaming
indignation with which be rejected the scandal
against the wife ofhis friend. Believingher tobe
unjustly aspersed, he espoused ber cause with the
zeal of a kuight errant, and the impetuous energy
ol—General Jackson.
The result was a fierce and long-contested social
war. The ladies of other Cabinet Miuislers ruled
that Mrs. Eaton could not be admiled to their circle. The ladies ot foreign Ministers followed their
example. MrsDontdson, the niece of the Presideut,
and mistressof the White tyouse, though compelled
to receive her, would not visit her. " Anything
else, uncle," said she," but 1 cauuot call on Mrs-
Eaton." " Very well," Baid the inflexible old
Geueral; "theu go back to Tennessee, my dear."
and she went. Poor Mrs. Eaton was all this time
resting iu silence under this mercilesB despotism.
Mr Van Burn was Secretary of State, and a widower. He called npon Mrs. Eaton, made parties
for her, persuaded his friends to treat her with the
pect due to her position, no less than to a lady
who had baen greatly wronged. Hia conduct naturally touched the heart of the old General, which
was set on tbe lady's vindication. It also wou for
Mr. Van Buren tho affection of tbe President's
confidential counsellors who were then and for
eight years following, the President-makers of the
republic. " Indeed," said one of the biographers
'Andrew Jackson, "the political history ofthe
United States for tbe last thirty years, dates from
the moment when the soft hand of Mr. Van Buren
uched Mrs. Eaton's knocker."
The rest ofthe story i3 booo told. The Cabinet
was from the very commencement divided on the
question of Mrs. E&tou's character. For Mrs. Eaton—the Presideut, Mr. Van Buren, Major Eatou,
Mr. Barry. Against her—the Vice President, Mr.
Berrien, Mr. Ingham. Mr. Branch. The Cabinet
could uot hold together and was dissolved. Mr.
Van Bureu first resigned, aud the President, grato-
fully sent him to the Court of St. JameB. Major
Eaton followed his example, aud was to b? well
provided lor. These resignations rendered the reconstruction ofthe cabiuet a necessity, and the rest
ofthe members, who had thwarted the Presdent'B
darling purpose to restore au injured lady to her
rights, were courteously relieved from duty. From
that hour Mr. Van Bureu's fortunes were made. Mrs
Eaton soon censed to be an issue in tbe social and
political circles at the capital, where the lady long
outlived the reign aud almost the memory of those
who made snch havoc with her fame.
is   thc  Constitution   Suspended   During   Uu
War!
Is the Constitution suspended during the war?
That is tbe question. If it is not. then there exists
no power in the President to abrogate constitutional rights or expunge Slate law.--. Many who
profess to be loyal men, and to have closely studied
the Constitution, gravely assert that what tliey
term military necessity in time of war is superior
to all civil law. The conduct of General Jackson
at New Orleans is cited as a precedent. The entire proceedings in connection with his declaration
of martial law—his arrest, trial, and payment of
the fine imposed—prove conclusively that in bis
opinion his declaration of martial law was illegal
aud could be justified by the necessity of the circumstances attending it- He aerer claimed to be
actioif under the Constitution or iu accordance
with law, out frankly acknowledged the proceeding to be in contravention of both.
But eveu did tho Coustiiution admit the declaration of martial law in particular localities in
times of fearful peril, will it be claimed that it
cau be extended over a whole country? Cannot
Congress be forbidden to meet aud legislate, and
cauuot every department of Government, State
and National, be set aeide by a simple proclamation from the Presideut, and continue suspended
at; his will ? Under this direction the Presideut
—not the Constitution or the several departments
ol Governmeut organized under its authority—is
supreme. This military necessity of which we
hear so much, is either limited or it is restricted.
If it be limited iu its power during the war, then
the Presideut as Commander-iu- chief, is Emperor,
His decrees are absolute. If it is restricted, where
shall we look for the bound Of authority ? In the
Coustitution ? Is there any authority in this Gov.
ernment elsewhere? It is said the Constitution
does uot provide for the mode in which war shall
be conducted—that our armies appropriate private property to public use—that spies are hung,
deserters shot, suspected traitors arrested and the
freedom of the press muzzled, by military author-
ty,justified by necessity, ali of which would be
unlawful in lime of peace. Congress has the pow
er, by the Constitution, " to declare war" aud " to
make rules for the government aud regulation of
lbe land and naval forces" Under the provisions
of the Coustiiution, the entire disposal ol our armies is under Congress. It must provide for the iu"
crease or decrease and payment of our armies, aud
if it chooses to do so, can direct the plan and pur
pose of a campaign, and the Presdentas Commander-in-chief of lhe army, is under ils direction.
The power thus conferred, Congress has uot, so
far as conducting a campaign is coucerued, seeu
proper to exercise ; but it is unquestionable that
the war aiaking power ia vested iu Congress, and
lhe President is simply the executive of its will-
If Congress should direct the withdrawal of the
troops from a particular Slate or Territory, the
President would uot be at liberty to disob.'y the
command. That the details of a campaign are
left to the Presideut aud his military subordinates
is for the simple reasou that lliere must be concentration ol authority as well as of iroops to successfully conduct a war. Congress has power "to
grant letters of matque and reprisal, aud make
rules concerning captures on laud and water." lis
authority is complete, in whole aud iu part, to
conduct and close war, for the President cauuot
conclude a treaty ot peace wilhout the concurrence ol two-thirds of the Senators preseut.
Where, then, is the military necessity lhat can
override the Constitution ? Where does tbe President get his authority to subvert the organic law
by a simple proclamation ? War is to be conducted according to tbe rules of war, aud Congress is
to provide by law the "rules tor the government
aud regulation ol the laud and naval forces." Uuder this prevision, can it provide by law for the
subversion ot lhe Constitution, because one State
or a duzeu Slates are in rebellion? Under the
plea of maintaining Lhe Government, can it provide hy luw lor the subversion of the Coustitution
because one State or a dozen Stales overthrow it?
In war and in peace ihe Constitution is supreme.—
It is as much so in a civil war as iu a foreigu oue.
Military arrests aud executions are iu accordance
with army regulations; but when it is claimed
that the possession of a commission and a pair ol
shoulder straps couferB upon the owners the right
to arrest, punish aud execute citizens who are not
in the army, we may well inquire what despotism
will next be advocated and justified. When it its
claimed that the existence of war confers npon the
President the power to strike from existence the
Constitution and laws of eleven Slates of this
Union, override the Constitution ot the General
Government, and prescribe tbe Bocial condiliou of
twelve millions of people, is it not time to ask if
the nation is drunk or insane?— Chicago Tribune

"SbOBSSionists."—In these days of political pro-
digacy and corruption, of mendacity and venality,
of sycophancy and tyranny, all true Democrats and
conservative men have to encounter the vilest per_
scnal abuse, and hence the Abolitionists and their
menials have adopied the plan of calling every such
man a "Secessionist." If nu individual prefers an
', honorable peace to war and bloodshed, he is called
j a Secessionist. If he is opposed to placing the
1 negro on the equality with the white man, he is called a Secessionist. If he points to the robbery of
millions from the public treasury, he is called a Secessionist. If ho expresses himself in favor of iho
war being prosecuted to restore the Union as it was
aod Biaiafata the Constitution as it is, he is called a
Secessionist. If he favors the Constitutional right
of free speech nnd Iree press, be is a Secessionist'
If he questions the wisdom, honesty or capacity of
President Lincoln or his Cabinet, he ia a Secessionist. If ho condemns the treasonable language of
leading Abolition traitors in prominent positions,
he ia called a Secessionist, If he intimates that arbitrary arrests are impolitic, unjustifiable, iniquitous
aud unconstitutional, he is called a Secessionist. If
he opposes Lincoln's Negro Emancipation Proclamation, he is called a Secessionist. If he rejoices
over Democratic victories he is called a Secessionist. If he speaks disrespectfully of the Abolition-
ized Republican party or exposes the dangerous
and wicked and infamous doctrines of the Chicago
Platform, lie is called a Secessionist. If he adheres
to and advocates the principles which were proclaimed by Jefferson and Madison and sustained and
enforced by Jackson, he is called a Secessionist.—
