SMILE WHENE'ER YOU CAN.
When things don't go to mlt you,
And the world lit-id I uuside down.
Iun't wate your time in fretting,
11 ut drive away that frown )
Sinoe life ti oft perplexing,
'Tift much the wtMot plan
To bear all trial bravely,
And smile whene'er you can.
m. Why iKuukl you drmd to-aiorrow, -
And thus Umpoii to-day r
For wheu you trouble borrow,
Vuu always have to pay.
It Is a good old maxim,
Which should be often preached,
on'l oross the bridge before yon
L'ulil the bridge is reached."
You miht be spnn-d muoh sighing.
If you would kevp iu wind
The thought that good and evil
Are always here combined;
There must be something wanting,
And though you roll in wealth,
You may mm from out your casket
That precious jewel health.
And though you're strung and sturdy,
You mity have an empty puree;
(And earth has ninny trials
Whii'U Icotiiidrr wurse!)
liut who! her joy or sorrow
Fill up your mortiil span,
'Twill make your pnthway brighter,
To smile wheuo er yuu can.
STATE SOVEREIGNTY.
Wo endeavored to show in our is-
siio of llio 10th that Slulo sovereignly
is the lilo ol tlio lcdurul government;
that it is the boul nnd supremo source
of nil its powers, nnd the grutid pivot
upon which the whole federal syntem
revolves. To deny this, wo must deny
llio riht of llio ledoral government to
cxibt,lor it has not nsinglopiiUution lo
denote life within it, save what it re
ceives from tho sovereign Slates ; for
it is only by feluto sovereignty, con
stantly exercised from year to year,
that Iho Inderal government is upbeld.
Abolish your Slulo legislatures, mid
who is to slock tlio I luted blutos
Senate with even such material as
compose it now f Let the peoplo of
tho slates, acting under the laws ol
tho States, rcluso lo send members lo
Congress, who tnitUo appropriation,
steal lands, and speculate in gold, nnd
what becomes ot tlio ledoral govern
ment ? Whut is llio cause of the
slraitgo lunacy w hich lias seized upon
the tieoiilo, and causes them to spcuk
about 'the pestilent doctrines of State
sovereignty 1" K ght years ago, even
two years after tlio wur had com
menced, audi nonsenso was not heard
of in this country. Alien every Slate
called ilsell "sovereign," nnd, believ
ing Iho teachings ol the tuthcrs and
obeying tho Coiislilulion und tho law,
they knew no better. Then ihey ex
ercised nil tho f unctions of sovereign
ty, und never, until eight years ago,
was there such a fool on tho conti
nent of America us a person who
denied tho sovereignty of tho Statos.
flow long is it sinco the ropudialors
of Slate lights travelled all over this
country, appealing to Iho peoplo in
tbeir sovereign rights lo resist the
fugitive t-luvo law, on tho ground Uiut
it was n violation of Slate sovereignty f
In tho United States eennte, Sum
ner denounced it ns "an offensive en-
cronchment on the right of the Mates ;"
nnd ngain, "an assault on llterigms or
(he Mates ; ' nnd still again, "not only
an assumption of power by Congress,
but nn infraction ol Stttto rights j" und
better than nil, ho thundered such
languago as this into tlio ears of tho
United Stales honuW.rs, "And now,
alinoit while I sneak, comes the solemn
judgment of the Supreme Court of Wis
COnSlll, A 80JiKKIUN STATE Ot THE
union, declaring tluslo be a violation
of the Constitution" And lor years,
this wn-tho burden of his song nnd
llio topic of his nrgtimenf. Hut now,
linlcn to tho nrch demngoguo and
revolutionist, exclaiming ngninst
whut ho calls "tlio misornhlo prclon-
sion of Stnto sovereignty anil the
pestilent pretensions, of Stale rights."
Tlist this pulled up demngoguo
should quarrel with his own record,
or bo sjoundrel enough lo falsify the
truth of former uttering, should per
haps surprise no onti, but to find such
a crowd of idiots following hint must
bo mortifying to overy intelligent
mnn and woman who desires to prido
In tho intelligence of their country
men. Krom tho ever memorable 4lh of
July, 1770, down to tbo election of
Lincoln, llio doctrine of Ktato sover
eignty wns held sacred in this country.
Tho thirteen colonies wcro so many
distinct political communities, entirely
independent of each other. When
they loro themselves nwny from their
nlleginnco to the government of Great
Urituin, the sovereignly of cmh ono
became perfect in itself, und they do
clarcd tlieiiinclvosns ' distinct find acp
nralo polilicul bodies, free und Inde
pendent Slulcs." When they signed
ihe lleeliirulion of Independence, ihey
voted ns Bcpnrslo States, anil Dela
ware, tho pijiallosl ono territorially
not us largo ns a singlo county in the
largest Slulcs casting nn ctitinl vote
with llio largest, her sovoroignty wns
as complete ns Unit ol too largest, and
Ihurcloro sho hud tho sumo right and
privileges, a right sho still holds in
tho Senuto of llio United Sillies. At
tho formation of tho confederation, in
17l, tho article ol compact declarod
that 'each Sluto retains its sover
eignty." They ulso defined tho re
lations of Iho States to each other as
follows : "Tho said Stales hereby
severally enter Into a firm lean gun of
friendship with each other." The
Union was a htagno by Iho several
Sluto. In tho formiilion of the present
Constitution, in 1767, tho samo thing
nppcitrs, each Stato through its dele
gates Voting ns A t-rnuruto and Inde
pendent sovereign Stnto. And tho
Constitution was adopted by tho
Slates u so ninny districts, separate,
sovereign bodies, Tho sovonth nrti-
clo of tho Constitution declares, thnt
it shall bo tho "Constitution between
tbo Slates to ratify tho samo." Ob-

CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17,
States is a liUtory of o many Indo
pnndont, fcptmito, sovcroijrn commii
nitios, bound in a lctij;uo of fi icndhliip
fur iho surer protection of llio sovor
oiinty nnd indepondenoo of ench one.
When tlio trenty of pence w mndo
with Great liriuin, in 17S3, cncli
Slulo win named na a aovorcin nnd
independent purty to tlio trenty. This
sumo treuty u!ho tthowti thut Congress
linn no novoreijrn power, but it is to
bo regarded only us tlio agont of tlio
Slnlo goverolRtitie. Hero ia wlint it
snvs: "It ih BL'recd thut the uonercRS

estntes, rights nnd properties which
have been confiscated, belonging to
real l!ritih subjects." This Is an em
phatic nvovvul that Congress was lo
imvo no power over ihe fiction of the
Stutos except nieroly to recommend to
their legislatures whut is bust nnd
proper lo securo the cilizons of tho
Slates in their just rights.
In 1782, in a treaty between tbo
United Netherlands and tho United
Slates of Amcricii.linniely'ew llamp
pshire, Massachusetts, JilioJo Inland
nnd l'rovidence rinnlnlion, Connect!
cut.New York, New Jcrsey'onnay Ivu
nin, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia, all iho States wcro separate
ly named in tho title. Immediately
after tho poneo with Kngland was de
clared, in 173:i, a treaty was signed
between "Iho king ol'Swodon and the
thirteen United States of America."
In 17S5, followed n treaty with Prus
sia, with .Morocco in 177 j with
Franco in 1788, in all of which they
name tho thirteen States as independ
ent sovereignties to tho treaties.
What answer, but such as would be
utterly unworthy of any man of ro
spccltiblo intelligence, can bo mado
to thoso incontestable, proofs of the
originul and absolute sovereighty of
the Slates t Tho opposcrs ol State
rights Bay, "that nt the formation of
the Constitution tho individuality and
sovereignty of Ihe Slates wuro merged
in tho k-ucrai government. iho
operations ol tbo government for
eighty years sinco the adoption, nnd
the history ol tho l onstilulion proves
tho folly und impudence of such nn
argument. It wns no part of tha do
sign of llio new Constitution to con
tract tho mcrcd domain of Stato sov
ereignty, but lo delejralo certain
general powers to tho federal govern
ment lor tho good ol tho several
States. Tho eoverality of ihe Stntee
is allirnied in llio second sections of
iho first r.rticlo of tho Constitution.
It wus not tho intention to form n
now syslom of government., when tho
convention was called to linino tho
Constitution. It wus not the inten
tion to change, the chnraclor of the
States, in relation to sovereignty, but
to "niter and iimend tho articles of
confederation." Tlio objects of the
constitutional conventions wcro clcar-
lv Rlnled bv Governor Patterson, of
tho State o fx ow Jersey. Hour what
no says: j.ei us consiuer won mini
powers wo are sent hero. Thu basis
of our present authority is founded on
n revision of tho articles of the pres
ent confederation, and to alter and
amend them in part, when they may
provo defective." (Slrango words.)
Hero wo read of a mnn who enquired
whut his duly lo his constituents und
his country is, und said ho would obey
it. How our puissant law mnkcrs
must hato tho memory of r.tit h n man.
Tho convention was called tr givo
llieso sovereignties now facilities,
through an enlarged and more vigor
ous general ngoncy, as the federal
government, nnd not to annihilate tho
sovereignty of tho Slates. That's
what Governor Patterson meant.
Ho knew that all sovereign power
was fixed and immutable in the
Slated, und they did not intend lo
yield up nny portion of that sover
eignty. Each one of tho Slulcs would
huvo rushed to arms, if necessary, to
defend tbo smallest portion ot ils
sovereignty. All they ever proposed
lo do was to endow the Inderal gov
ernment with certain powers ns an
ncetit cf their joint sovereign lies.
Just hero nn ancient landmark of
liberty may provo instructive to thoso
who seem to forget nil about tho curly
history and tho intciilions of iho men
who guided tho infant sleps of the
country. In Juno, 177(1, tbo colonial

U.hiration that "the administration

principle guarded in tho Arliclo ol
Confodorulion ; and rigidly rcutlirmcd
and budged in with prudent and jeal
ous checks in tho now Constitution of
1787. Not ono State would have
adopted it, had it bad tho remotest
idea that it wns surrendering tho
smallest atom of jurisdiction over its
own "internal concerns and polico."
They went to war with Great Britain
to securo and perpetuate this local
sovereignly and self government, und
the civilized world said it was sufficient
cause. If it wus nnd fortunately no
ono can guinsny it then buve not the
Slates a million times greater cause to
cominoiico 11 war of extermination
upon the implacable military despot

Amuricun principles of government
but is striving lo fasten the Asinlio,
or, in fact, tho African principle upon

In 1787, Chancellor Livingston, of
Aew lork, cleatly gave the universal
temper of the Stales at that time, und
revealed llio object of the now Consti
tution. In a Fourth of July oration
ho said :
''Our Internal constitutions mail, us happy at
home, but nothing srirt of a federal one can ren
der u. salo or respectablo abroad. Let us not,
however, in our caKcrorss to atuin the one, forget
to prrserve tho other inviolatei for better Is dts
tr. as abroad than lyranuy aod anarchy at borne.
Apmdousdcpo.it is given into our keeping : we
bold in our hands the fate ot future generations.
Vi bile we acknowledge thut no government enn
exist without confidence In Ihe governing power
ic us al-o remember that none can remain free
wlicro that ecttfidenoo is Incautiously bes'owed
It never entered Into Ihe minds of
tbeso States to givo nwny their sov
erelgnty by the establishment of tho
federal government, nnd no man huv
ing any regard lor truth or common
decency will duro lo say, thul ufter the
adoption of llio Coiislilulion the States
wcro not just ns sovereign as before
Tho verv ucl of ratilVinir wns the hiih-
est und strongest deed of sovereignly,
and not ono singlo Stale consented to
rnlily it until alter they bad L'iven
iho most joulous rigid scrutiny into
every nrticlo, section and syllable, to
mulco suro Hint there wns no word or
ictier mat coma impair the sovereign-
ly 01 llio Mates, f.vcry Sluto com
pellet! tlio members of tho conslitu
tional convention to ftppcur before
conventions of thoir own Slates, nnd
solemnly nssuro them that they neith
er parted with nor endangered tho en-
tiro sovereignty ot U10 Stutos by rat
ifying tlio now instrument of compact.
Without this, they would not have
ratified it.
Utit no belter proof of tho un
changed sovereignty of tho Stales can
bo found than tho instrument itself.
In both branches of tho federul con-
gre, tho sovereignties of the Stales
uto represented; and without these
representatives of tho Slulo sover
eignties the federal government could
not exist ono hour. JNol ono penny
can He legally uiiiiroin laled without
tho Slates' representatives consent.
Neither tho President, nor nny other
olliccr of Ihe federal government, can
draw 0110 dollar without tho consent
of the representatives of tho sover
eign Stiles. Tho army nnd navy has
no support but what they get from
tho Stales, through thoir representa
tives. Without tho consont of llieso
sovereignties in tho Senate, iho Pres
ident cannot commission a single o Ul
cer in the civil, military or niivnl do
piiitiiient cf ihe federal government.
In n word, ns wo said ut tho begin
ning of IhU article, let llio Slates re
fuse to elect senators nnd representa
tives lo congress, und tho federal
government is ut 1111 cud. It depends
entirely upon the sovereign will of tho
Stales to chooso Presidential electors,
und if the)' should elect to leave thul
prostituted place vacant, thero is no
iinn cr in thu world to compel them to
till it. Tito Stales can impeach, or
try, or suspend tbo 1 resident, ice
President nnd nil tho civil oflicers of
lie federal government, through thu
delegatus of their sovereignties in llio
federul congress. Can anything more
bd wanted to provo tho absolute sov
ereignly of Iho Stales r Jhey nlono
have tlio right to niter nnd amend the
Lilorul coiislilulion.
These fuels provo conclusively that
t'.io federal government is only tho
crcnturo (and tho very dependent
creature) nnd agent of Iho sover
eignties of Iho States. Wo would
tb'spiso tho ignoramus, if wo did not
pity him inoie, who goes about talk
ing of Iho "pestilent doctrine of State
sovereignly nnd Slates' rights."
Tho Federalist, ft work written by
Miuiison nnd Hamilton, nnd published
am period contemporaneous wilh tho
constitution, says :
"If the new constitution bo esnmlnod with 10
ciracy ami candor, It will l foand that tbo

, It seems to us this declaration of tho
men who mndo the coiislilulion effect
nully disposes of tho assumptions of
tho knaves that, by adopting tho con
slilulion, tho Statos surrendered thuir
sovereignty. Put j.he same work I
1872.
still inoro emphatic ot. this point in
number 40 : ,
"Wo have seen that In tha new government, as
in tha uld, the gooeral powers ara limited, and
thai the Ktutca in all unonuinoraled eeee.J are left
In tho full enjoyment of their sovereign and in
dependent jurisdictions."
No. ill) of the Federalist says :
"llut If the government be national, wilh re
gard to the operation of its powers, it changes Its
aiprot again when we contemplate it In relation
to tbe as-l.Nl of if. powtrt. T be Idea of a nation

When will the tune arrive that the federal govern

Spirit of Hamilton ! what would
you uy were you to como on eurth
now ? You uttored these words scv
cnty three years before Lincoln was
inaugurated President of tha United
Stales, and in less than four years
from thut calamity of 1801, a htiudrcd
fold more than you hud thought be
yond tho scope of human possibility
had been accomplished by thut mon
ster, in tho way of federul usurpation
and war upon tho Stutus, which you
called independent nations; and now,
when every sword is sheathed, every
gnu spiked and overy arm silent and
lowered, behold thoso who have in
lierited Lincoln's idea of government
tearing tho constitutions of llio sov
ereign Slates of Illinois and South
Cuiolina, and siibsti'.uling in their
place a provost marshal's order. Uut
wo must not tlo injustice to Alexander
Hamilton. When ho wroto ho was

tract's Iho birth of the former to an
accident entirely oil I side of ordinary
or permissible human fecundity, and
the creatures loll liy L uu are as ui)
natural its his own birth.
We will closo our authorities in this
arliclo with a few extracts from Mr.
Win. H. Seward, who, when Governor
of tho Slato of Now York, refused 10
ohey u plum provision of tho consti
tution in rclution to n few fugitive
