THE WORLD'S HISTORY. 1 BY F. W. A. BHTI.TX. The earliest history of our globe appear, Wreathed niio the niUU of nvar ix thousand years. The orowning glory of ereat ion's plan Waa making klartb the dwelling ptaot of man. An sno nt'iirr, traching him to riso Tc more enduring niaunions in the skies. Kir t Kdeu's garden iuut our tbunio eugngo. With the perfociious of the tloldun Age. When open interoourao with hcavvo remaiiicdi And perfect innoremee the World retained. And next the Full of innn from light and life, To sin's deep gloom and death and mortal strife. .Scarce iixtevn hundred years had passed away, Kre univon.nl crime had guiucd the sway. e-oon then the awiul Di'luge raged around. And all mankind were in Us billows drowned, Kxcvpt eight persons, who tbe waters braved, And in an ark weie from detrutMin Bared. Then ou Mount Ararat did Noab land, And heaven was with Uod's bow of promise spanned. Again, as years passed dawn tho tide of time, Earth's population was immcreed in crime. l)y impious bunds the Tower of Iiabcl rose. As wicked nienTrould still thuir Lord oppose. Confusion in the language of our race Knsuiil. and drove them frm their nstire place. The bills and plains of Asia, wide and free. Became tho homo of Micm s posterity I While Ham the burning Afric deserts dared, To distant Europe Jitiiclh's sons repaired. The hunter Nimrod foumlrd Hsbyloo, And inevab by Asbur was begun. Twii tbiis tbe great Assyrian empiro rose, W here Queen hvun ramus sutiUurd hr foes, And where the hnniritig gardens she unfurled, One of the Heven Wonders of the World. W hen many ceoturifp had pnssed awny, All fi ll benonlh the Itnbylonian sway. Hut Cyrus captured Hiibvlon ono night, And Persia ruled in match leu power and might. Hut Alexunder came from Mucrdon, And Perrinn utipremary was gone. The Parthian Empire next usurped tho stray, And gorerned many Innds for many a dny. The Arnhft who believed Mnhomuird's creed, Called Hnrnerns, arqnired the conquering lead, And finally the Tartar tribes obtained The ronlius w lie re eouotless il.vuasties bad reigned Tbe grealeH nation of old Africa W as Egypt, in her mighty Jlieban day. Long, long she waved the sceptre nt bcr pride, Hut loug ago her fute and glory died. Ments, MtocriP, and Hesoftris, all llavo hong beru buried in tbuir pageant pall. W hero l'baraobs ruitfiicd, aud Pio?oniies were crowned, Mid denolatinn dencrt wind rewound, And drifting nand Ibn Hphini has already hid, Within the nhadeofChot.pl' 1'yramid. Now let us glance at lnrac I's chosen race. In their eir.-er of glory and disgrace: Wltn Abruliau hJ kft hii mtliv land, To seek a home on Cnitnn's dutaut strand, A he hnd been rummanded from tho vkios, The InraHitish nation took Its rise. To feed their flocks and herds In pastures new, They lived in tents, and roved the couutry through. With them we And the pure and simple ways, Which cluster round the Patriarchal dny a. In Eifvi.t then, by famine's nower impelled. They were four hundred years in bondage held ; When Moses, through the power ol Uod. arose And led them safely from their maddened foes. At Hinai thev from J hovoh's hands Itereived the tables of his ten commands, And when against his goodness they rebelled. Through tribulations were their murmers quelled. They wandered forty years in deserts wild. 1 nfil to dwrll in lands where nature smiled : Yet still lie guides them upon their way, Within fire by night, and cloud by day. And when nt laot tbry came to Canaan's short, And Jordan's turbid river hnd paswtl oer, Assisted them their wicked foes to quell, That all their Tribes might there forever dwell. The Jews upon their JuJgos long relied ; Among the uumler Samson lived and died f They by and by resumed their murmuring, And f-aul the son ot kith was chosen king. The Hebrews were, when 8.111 1 was overthrown, The grenteft nation Enrlh had ever known In larid's time, and thus they still remained, While Ho lom on in all his glory reigned. Hut dark is fate that follows erring ways. And dark their fate becomes in alter days 1 The splendor of the light ihrtt shone upon The wisdom of the gifted Solomon ; The conquest of his father Oavid's 11 word The Temple dedicated to the Lord ; The Hebrew nation all have pasted away, Like datxling splendor in a midnight play I Ten missing Trilws are lost so utterly, No human history tells their drtliuy. A feeble remnant from captivity At Ilnhyloo, alone returned to see The denotation ot thuir native shores, Where ages after raged the darkest wars That ever man's unlnillowcd passions waged, Or Id which human beings e'er engaged; And culminating in the curse to lb cm Of the destruction of Jerusalem. The Hebrew Prophets were a race of meq Inspired beyond all other mortal's ken. They all proclaimed, with uniform accord, The coming incarnation of the Lord. And this event, the greatest In all time, Occurred in old Judca's favorrd clime. An equal era to all human kind, Tho Universe of worlds van never find. The Chinese Empire has a history Extending to re mot antiquity. Quite isolated from enlighted states, Half civilised it as a nation rates. Its theme of two and twenty dynasties, Extend through nearly forty couturivi. With Fob is era China s life began f The wise Confucius was their greatuat man. The Tartar records ever must retain The names of Oenghi Khan and Tamerlane, Two bloody monsters Destiny had hurled, Like thunderbolts, againsl the northern world. But far awny, In regions wild and free, I'pon tho borders of the Kgeau sea. The arts and teicuocs obtained control Of all that elevates the human soul, And long maintained a pure, ennobling sway, I pon the minds of Thebes and Attica. Ten thousand are tho famous deeds of pca And hntile scenes that hallow classic Ureece. Her ports, painters, and her sculptors held An elcvatiou never yet exoelled, In eloquenee one other has alone Attained tho power Demosthenes has shown. till uniiirpAHscd in y srthly lands, Are thu brave deeds of tbe bold Mpartan bands. The Argo's expedition sailed be for The ten years of (he famous Trojan war. Tho codes of Holon and Thales sui-recd I.ypurgus' laws, and I'raeo'a bloody creed. Tlierinopylw immortal lame altniucJ; At palamis a victory was gained. Their star of destiny shone brightest on I'lnlca's field and famous Marathon, Irt which the Persian bouts were hurled asldo In wild dismay, and sputtered far and wide. The names of Cadmus and of Hooratcs. Pythagoras and Epimenid'a, Ol Plato, II nmer, Mid TheiLMoclct, Miltledrs, nnd noted Perielo-s, In (irectan history have a noble place, And ever will the Grecian annal grace. In Philip's reign anil Alexander's dny The Mncedoninn Empire gained the sway Of nil tho world but lost its. trnnsiunt powar In revels of a bam-hnnalian hour. here yellow Tiber oilers tranquilly Its tribute to earth's grtialeat inland sen, Above tbe world, like a colonial dome, Arose the city ol Imperial Home. Its glory and majestic jfrnn'leur guve To many ft nation many a vassal s grave. W hile hohts of famous heroes lived and died, It was in regnt splendor, pomp and pride, A thomnnd yenra the world's controlling Fate, From Horn u I ns to Constantino thoUrcat, J'irat seven kings rcigued here successively) Then Consul, Tribune;, nnd I'ietators, see. The Cotnmjuwralth, with many neighboring stales, Was governed next by two Triumvirates, Hern A limn feats nnd Hnblti nets abound t And further on three Punic wars are frund. The great deeils of the latter ever shall He linked with Eabitis and Hannibal, Here Cato, Hclpio, Pompey, Marlus, With Unit us., Anthony and Lepidus, And other mm who were, perhaps, as great, Arose to guide the ship ( Itoman slate. While Julius Csrsar half the world acquired, With eloquence wn CVero luspiroil. The grandest period of the Itoman fame Is crowned wilh great Octavlus' royal name. Hut horrid mnnsierr next the pnrnle wore, And endless Infamy Iheif actions bora. Hi ill here and there among the ylcioas clan, The throne obtained a inre deserving man. Then harhnroua hordul poured down from boreal lands, And desolated fair Italia's itriuids PRINCIPLES CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 81, And Attlla their gems of art destroyed. Beneath their Uolhic, Hun and Vandal might, The Houiau Empire was extinguished quite. For centuries it did the world defy, And toot about three hundred years to die. We now the Middle Agni come to view, The darkest period Europe ever knew. F'or ut ar two centuries its record stands I'nlted with the Oriental lands. For then all Christian nations went abroad, In a wild project callvd tbe Truce of Ood ( . The only time Within their m hole career, In which they in a common cnuso appear. Where ancient bistoiy and modern meot, OiHiurs this time wilh tragic deeds replete. When to the Holy Land vast millions poured, In six crusadee fbr our offended Lord. Knights Templar waa the noble name they bore, From Europe a western verge to Asia's shore. And In thorn long, mad wars of Palestine, Knight of tha Cross and Knights of Walt ibint. They went lo rescue in far distant lands, Tbe Holy Bepiilcher from heathen hands. With a mistaken sense of duty tired, Tbcre millions dud wilh matchless tcaj iaMlfU& The Hnltan rMymon their hosts as.niiliiL And widowed Europe long their fate bewailed. Eight hundred thousand in the dust were lld, And of their bones a Pyramid he made. Hut when success the bold invaders crowned. All Christendom did with their names rusouud. Tha Hermit Peter's lame most brightly ihono, In I bene Crusades, with Uodlrvy of Hulogno.. And Cour do Lion, England's champion brave, His life's boat years to these ei elusions gave. The dearly wished for boun nt hut they gained, When Paynitn blood the soil hnd deeply stained. Then anthems rang through all tha Christian lands, For the successes of these daring bands. Hut when another century had passed o'er, They lost Jerusalem forevurmnrc. Wilhin the Empires of tho East and West, Was middle history many years compressed t Till numerous nations, which the world still grace, Hose from their ahcs and supplied their place. The Bwcdish Charles and Kussian Peter were, With Alfred and the Norman Conqueror, Celebrities of Europe's later reign 1 To which we add the Cid of Moorish Fpato j Klisaheth, tbe Hritish sovereign star ; The hero of the Nile and Trafalgar f Napoleon Ilonapart, of Corsica, Who crushed the Hourbons' luugertnblivbcd sway ; Tho Puke of Wellington, of martial pomp ; Ursat Prussian Frederick, and the Iutcb Von Tromp 1 And Charlemagne, and Bruce, nnd William Tell, Whose names iu scrolls of gallant daring dwell, Tho Feudal System with its serfs and lords, And knights of chivalry, a I lit me affords Of wild romance, in Hpain an l (lcrmaoy, In Eugland, Portugal and Italy, W hich, with Its matchless deeds of daring moo, On earth can never be revived again. Hut Inquisition times of Papal might. Which trntb suppressed beneath their withering blight, With persecutions giving fiends delight, Aod mrirfrrdom for walking in the right, Till Toleration dawned with hope and light, No longer curse the world with raylaits night. The J'otentate most absolute and vile, Mnintained on earth to-day in royal style, Cicilinn Vespers never can renew, Nor Massacre of 1SL Harlholcmew. There came a day when long crushed Highland Truth Regained the lustre of immortal youth. An era in the bittory of men ; The sudors' compass was invented then, Enabling navigators learned and bold, Enlb's distant, hidden mysteries touufold. The Hystem of Copernicus had given Tbe true solution of tb orbs ol heaven. The Art of Priming was invmud by John Uutrnburgof Ments in Germany. The Keforuialiun followed in tbe train, And light and purity revived again. Gunpowder catne to be employed in war, At Cressy's battle Held, on the Trench shore. And will he need till war bos ceased to rago, And Earth shall have a second U olden Age. But now wf come to view in other climes, The most important deeds of modern lime. We notice first tho famous Ocnoese, Columbus, sailing into unknown seas. On seeking routes to India Intent, He gave a new world to tbe orient. Thus lost Atlantis of an ancient age, Hesumed its place on (he historic pnge. The way that be discovered to Its coasts, W as quickly traversed by adventurous hosts. Vespucci's yoynges were early wrought, And those of Carlier, H-idsonand Calot. The const north-east had been explored hi fore, By Northmen from the (Scandinavian shore. But tbiir researches had been little known, And never reached the more enlightened lone. Their colonies abandoned long were tossed I'pon I be waves and all their records lost. So with the charms of novelty arrayed. Were the discoveries which Columbus male. And many expeditions crossed the main, To these new lands, intent on gol len gain. Aud colonies were planted far and wide, ty various nations near Atlantic's tide, R 11 ile Indians raved in scattered, savage hands, Within the woods, and o'er the prairie lands. Two Em ires only did these wilds enfold, Half civilised, and rich in grins and golds. Hernando Cortes rmised their mountain walls, And boldly entered Montetuma's balls, Piiarro went to conquer, r subdue By treacherous deed, tbe Incus of Peru, Balboa first attained Paci flu's hound, He Hoto first the Mississippi found. Ponce do Leon, adventuious and uncouth, Here sought tbe Fountain of Perpetual Youth. asco do tlama, in his vnynge round The southern cape, the route to India found. Magellan, sailing through Magellan's H trail, Wac first the world to oirciimuavignto. But far the greatest name the world unfolds. The worthy Father of his Country holda. And in nil land and times no other una Has merited the Tame of Washington. Among the colonies most widely famed, Jamestown and Plymouth justly may h named. New Amsterdam and Providence, Ht Augustine, And Pennsylvania, on tbe list are seen. The Revolution, with our later wars, This glorious L'uion built upon our shores. Sweden, Brlatin, France, beyond the aen, Holland, Belgium and part of tiermany, Along with our United i1 tales, we Hnd Tbe most enlightened nations of mankind. Four hundred years have not yet passed away, Since first Columbus saw America. But true progression has been busy here, And formed a country with no ltiing peer. The greatest nation Earth has ever graced, Within our bouudariea Is forever placed. Fr most especially our country stands The home of the oppressed of other lands. And while our Flug unfurled to every brocit. In every port, on near and distant tint. Protection given (o all who seek Its car, And freedom yields to mankind everywhere; Let us recall in our Columbian home, The lessons of tho Past from O recce and Hme j And never mora in civil feuds arrnyed, lie verse the laws that Heaven itself has mad. No longer cursed with any nation's blights f But b leaned with competence and equal rights, Let 11 a endeavor in our Common Hen jo Is, To educate the nohle class that rules, Which numbers all o'er which our Banner waves ; Whilo bowing meekly to tho Hand that saves. Let mental darkness not obscure again, The land of Washington and William Pcun. But let true education rapidly, Pervade the Continent from sea to aea. And keep In freedom's care our favored clime, Through all tho golden years of coming time. Pretty Goon. Tho ritiltnlclphiti Ledger say ; "llulntivo to tho nomi imtion ol' Culotiul ThomitB A.

'J'iioreforo we propose, in Uiis paper to give a brief bltctcb of tliosov oral anions which have enisled bo tween the colonic, and Stato nover eiynties, in order to givo (ho reudur a clearer idea of tho principle of con federation, on which they have boon l.od. -Tbi will perhaps help a cor tuin class of willfully stupid polili ciung to a bolter understanding of tho nature of the present Federal Govern ment. Ono painful conviction crowds itself upon our mind, and we express our deep humiliulion In confessing il to tho world, that a groat majority of our statesmen, and especially tbo members of the United Slates Con. gross, are totally and stupidly igno rant of tho truo character of tbo Fed eral Union. In lG43,we find tho first coloniul union formed between tho colonics of Now England, under tho title of "The United Colonies of Xcw England, and a "perpetual league of friendship and amity." Its design wos a common defunso against tho Indium of that suction and the Dutch of Now Amstcrdiim, this being then the name of the Now York colony. Tho Puri tans looked upon tho Ihilcli with su preiuu contempt, and regarded them as an infidel and ungodly people. The simplo reason for such hatred was that the Dutch were Dot of the Puri tanic, or ealanic, faith, did not roast Quakers, (they preferred thom raw), drown Baptists, hang witches nor scourge humanity wherever and when ever thoy got tho power. Tbo New England Union, wilh tho over grasping instinct of Puritanism, had provisions for enlarging it by Inking other English colonics in. Bui (or some reason it was never cnlurgcd, and it took fivo ycurs, limited as its numbers were, to perfect it, on ac count of tho jealousy of each in rela tion to its perfect Imlrpcndcnco of tbe other colonies. Observe tho prido of Stato oven iu Iheso comparatively helpless communities. Tho union was a purely federative organization ; or what its namo declured, a league, in which each colony retained im trammeled ils own internal icparato ncss and independence of I lie rest. By tho influence of Massachusetts, Ifhodo Island was kept out ot the Now England union, tho ground of ils objection being that tho I'.hodo Islanders were dissenters from tho doctrina of tho Puritans. This doc trino would not suit Grant, for it is strongly hinted that ho wants Utah in purely on tho ground of its religion, in this onion no general government was si knowledgcd, except "Commis sioners'whosoduly it was to rcgiilulo tho oll'airs of tho common organisa tion. But through tho machinations of Mn lacliuselts llieso commissioners soon began to arrogato powers which did not belong to Ilium by tho articles of the compact, until finally, this usurpation becoming inlollornblo to a majority of tho colonics, they caused Iho expulsion of tho union in 1073, which ended the firtl';pcrpctual union" of the American colonics, after a short and restless life of thirty years. Iu 1G00, Massachusetts addressed n proposition to hill tho colonies as fur south as Maryland, to meet in con vention at Now York, to form somoj combination or union, This was re sponded to only by delegates from Now York, Connecticut and Massa chusetts, and resulted in nothing but an tigreoinent between these three to furnish each its shnio of troops for tho invasion of Canada. Iu lO'.IO, Massachusetts and Now York mado another ufTort to form some kind of union, in order to in duco e a eh colony to contribulo its baro towards the general defense. Il was not proposed to form a closer union, because they know il would not succeed. Afterwards sovorttl ef forts wero mado to have a Captain Goneral uppointod by tho King, with power to cull out tho militia, and a proposition was mado by Gov. Pcnn, of Pennsylvania, to form a ' colonial congress of twonty inQmbors, to bo elected annually, and a president, who j ,10U,j ,ja ltl,pojtltcd ly tho King, with power in limo of war to provido f'or Iho gonerul d,-fono, to rcgiilulo com merce in limo of peace, ko., kc, all of which was rejected bocauso of the then existing prejudice ngninst any sort of colonial union. Even thu slightest approach to colonial union was bitterly opposed by some of tho colonics, and tho wholo thing resulted in nothing except to establish courts of admiralty among the coloniul gov ernments. Again iu 1753, when Iho French wore mailing raids upon tho soil of Pennsylvania nnd Virginia and nil along the Ohio river, Lord Holderno" proposed A mooting at Albany of all tho colonics, to renew treaties with tho Indiana, and devise such olhor means as might bo necessary for their mutual protection. The mealing took ,p i1,")', ,Rt ,KfVJ'ilf.rI!ruW!,rt-: 1872. od by dclogntos from Pennsylvania, Now York, Maryland and tbo four Now England colonios. A proposition was introduced for a union of all the colonios, and a committoe of ono from each colony was appointed lo draft a form for a union. Dr. Franklin sug gested a grand council of forty-four in embers, as follows, vis: Six from Pennsylvania, sovon' from Massachu setts, scvon from Vlrgii.iu; fivo from Connecticut, four from New York, four from Maryland, two from each of ihe Cnrolinas, throofrom New Jersey, two from New Hampshire, and two from lihodo Island. . This council was lo have power to apportion between the colonios tho quotas of mon and monoy, to arrango colonial defenso, kc, &o., to hnvo a head appointed by the King, wilh tho titloof "President General," who was to havo a veto power. This was promptly voted down, on the ground that it gave the crown too much power. In tho fol lowing year a convention was called in New York for iho purpose of form ing soino united action against tho stamp act. It wus in session three weeks, but did nothing but muko a "Declaration of Rights and Griev ances." Tracing tho coloniul history, we find that lor ton years longer tbo sumo almost unconquerable rcpug nanco to any sort of political union existed, until in May, 1775, the in creasing exactions of the crown caused a grand convention to assemble on tbo 10th of Ma', al which a union of all tho colonics was effected under the following stylo und litlo : "Article, of Confederation and Perpetual t'nion eulcrud iuto tv Ilia Delegates of Hi. several I'olo nirr, e., in lieneral A.w-tnl.l met, at rbiladci iliia, May loth, 1774: "Art. 1st.

Tho I'niti-d Colonies berel.y severally enter into a rlrtu league of Irienilstiij Willi eaeti other, binding Iheimclves and llu-ir posterity, fur thrir ooniinou defense agmtist their eni-oiies, for th. security of their lilietlies and properties, the safety of their persons and iainiiirs, and their mu tual general welfare. "Art. 3d. That each eolony shall enjoy and re tain a. much as It may think lit of its own pres ent laws, customs, rights, privileges, and peculiar jurifdietion, within ils owu limits; and tuny aiu.ud Its own constitution a. snail seem best lo its own Assembly or Convention. ...... "Art. 13th.

King are agraed 101 till reparation is mad. for tho injury done to Huston, by shutting up its port! for burning Charleston ; and for the expense of this unjust War; aud until the Hritish troops are withdrawn from America. On tha ar rival of these event, tho colonies are to return to their former connection and friendship wilh flreat llritain ; but on failure thereof, this nonfederal ion is to bo porpetual." This, allhongh tho second coloniul union, considering the New Englnnd union of 1G4II, was tho first union that embraced all the American colonics. Il was undor this union that General Washington was mado Commander-in-Chief of tho armies of tho United Stulos. By resolution of Congress, July 2, 177G, tho name of the confed eracy was changed from "Colonies" lo "States." On account of tho fortunes of war and other causes, tbo Congress was of a somewhat migratory charac ter. It met at Philadelphia in Au gust, 1770, and adjourned to meet at Haiti more on December 20. From Baltimore it adjourned to meet at Philadelphia again, on the 12lh of March. From Philadelphia it flitted lo Lancaster, then withdrew to York, and rccecdetl buck to Philadelphia, and from there went lo Princeton. New Jersey. Hero Iho tillo clearly expresses tho nuturo of tho union, viz : a "Confcd eracy of United Colonies" and a "Firm league of friendship." Tho meaning of the word federal, from tho Idttin fotdus, means a league or covenant. In tins sense wo find it applied to contracts bolweon sover eigns. In this instanco it was a com pact between sovereign colonics, for tho colonics assorted their sovereign ty, or right over tho things iigreod upon, by this very act of federation. Prior to tho ostnblisbmont of tho union bolweon thorn, they wero distinct und independent of each olhor, and if wo are to believo the record they left, that it was ''a league of friendship," and no moro, they wero no less so af torwards, savo in mutters of external defenso and common Interest'. Although this union of 1775 was stylod "perpetual," tho same parlies that formed it broke it. up in tbo sec ond year of Indepcndoneo about throo years nflor they had established it. Congress formed now articles of federation on Iho 1st day ol Novem ber, 1777, ond by iho adoption of tbeso articles seceded from Iho general government they had formed less than tbrco years before. They went out in the following order: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, lihodo Islund, Now York, Virginia, South Carolina and Pennsylvania on July "lb, 1778; North Carolina, July 21.;! ; Georgia, on tho 24th j Now Jersey, on November 20th j Doluwiiro, February 22d, 1770, and Maryland on March 1st, 17il. Tho progress of secession then must have been of tho CI reek: y .kind, peaceable, for thoy wero nearly three yents, as tho dates nbovo show. First eight States becedod Worn tho old Into tho new compact. This left but five remaining; then ono wont nut, then an0.iiur,;in .four moniiis another, acrl BLIfM TERMS $2 per annum, in Advance. NEWSERIES-V0L.13,N0. 5. in six months nnothor, and finnlly, in two years more, tho last, Maryland, which closed out the "Perpetual Union" established in 1775. Thero can bo no question as to the object and character of tho now union. Tho title and first three articles of ro confederation make that perfectly plain : Art. I. Tho gtilo of this eonfoderac shall be "Tbe l Hit. .1 H Isles or America." . Art. If. Kacb state retains it. sovereignly, free dom and Independence, and every 1'ower, J oris diction and right, which is not by this confedera tion expressly dclcfratod to tho united states in oongress assembled. Art. III. The said states hereby severally enter Into a firm league of friendship wilh each other, for their eommoQ defenoe, the security of their Liberties, aud their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other, against all foroe offered to, or attacks made upon tlu-m, or any of them, ou aooount of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any ottior pruteno. whatever. Tho difference between the articles of tho new and the former union Is, that they wero moro complete, and wore only designed to make the union belwoon these sovereignties moro per fect. Tho perpetual sovereignly of each Stale is affirmed and preserved. But theso Becond articles of confcd eration wore soon discovered lo bedo foctivo, in some points of vital inter est. Tbo war of Independence had necessarily created a heavy debt, and tho articles of confederation gave Congress no adequate power to pro vide for this. Thoy hud no green back presses. Tbe year after tho peaco with England wus declared, in 1794, tho "Grand Army" of tha United States of America was reduced to eigh ty soldiers, and Congress had not mo ney to pay even theso. Nobody want ed tho bonds then 7 310 in gold and no tax. Jir. Madison, speaking of this trouble, said, "The fhiil and tot tering edifice was ready lo full upon our heads and crush us beneath its ruins." To relieve the country from this financial difficulty, Virginia pro posed a convention of tbe Stales to devise some plan of cooperation, and tho convention met at Annapolis, in September, 1780, with only five States attending. This sninll number not despairing, tnudo an urgent appeal for a general convention for tho purpose of amending tbo atiiclos of compact. It scorns it was not fashionable then to do things outsido of the Constitu tion, so as to givo tho general govern ment power to raiso money, "and to become a more efficicut agent of the gcnoral good." This call was finally responded to by all tho Stales but lihodo Islund, and the convention mot al Philadelphia on the 25th of May, 1787, and adjourned on the 17lh of Septombcr, having during the four months it was in session framed our present Constitution, or so much of it as remains from the rapacity of tho mongrel tinkers for the last few years. Tho sourco of sovereignty in this now Constitution is in no degreo changed; tho character of tho (lowers is in no manner altered; they arc still "deicgntcd" or "granted" powers ; the agency of sovereignty is enlarged for tho aggrandizement 0i iho iodcral Government. Tho object is staled by tho preamble to the Constitution, "To form a more perfect .nion," "ensure domestic tranquility," and to "secure tho blessing of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." So that wo sco tho object of tho third constitution is precisely what Iho other two were. Tho relations of the States lo tho Fed eral Government aro left exactly where they wero under tho constitutions of 1775 and 1777. True, they had in Ihoso days a few individuals who, in Iho language of Luther Martin, "wish- od to abolish and annihilate all State governments and lo bring forward ono general government of a monarch ical nature." Mr. Martin, in his re ports of Iho secret debates of tlio con vention, proceeds to say thai those enemies of Stato Governments nnd friends of monarchy, "knowing that they wero too weak in numbers open ly lo bring foiwnrd their system, and conscious also that the people of Amer ica would reject it if proposed," ns of course they would hnvo done, for all history of this union shows that not ono single Stato would have ratified the new constitution if il had in tho slightest degroo endangered or im paired tho sovereignty of the Slates. In ono respect this last constitution was a violation of tho ngroemonl en torcd into by Iho Slutcs, for Article 13 of tho second confederation, agreed upon In 1777, reads as follows: a e e the Articles of this eon- federation shall lie perpetual ; nor sli.ll any alter ation at any time hcrcnlt'T be made In any of them ; ueless such alteration be agreed to in a conjrrrs. of the united states, and be afterward. continued ly the legi-lstnrcs or every state. KcfOgni.ing tho curly New England confederacy, wo havo two colonial unions and two independent Stales unions, leaving out even thu colonial combinations of Kii'S and 1751, and at least thrco of theso wero declared lo bo "perpetual." Tbo New England union, in 104;, was called "a perpet ual lengtio." It lasted thirty yours, as wo huvo scon. That of 177, or, if wo lake it from the tinio of its adop tion by oil tho Slates, of 1781, declared thai tbo union should bo "perpetual." It lived three years. The constitu tion of tho present federal union, formed in 17S7, singularly' omils the term "porpcluul." By its preamble it is simply styled "a moio perfect lin'on " Probnhlv th frnnicrr of.lhis '!;!.'!

It is well known that Washington had very grave doubts upon the per petuity of tho union'.' 8o had Ham ilton, nnd Bundolph, and Madison, and mnny other leading statesmen of .liof dny. Luther Martin's doubts wero so strong on this subject that, in his re port of the convention he said, "Jiu the principles of the American revolu tion, arbitrary power may and ought fa, be resisted, even ly arms, if necessary. The time may come u-hen it shall be the, duty of a State, in order to preserve itself from the oppression of the general government, to have recourse to th sword. The Stales were determined in ev erything they did, above all olhor considerations, never to surrender the smallest fraction of their sovereign and independent rights. What a for tunate thing for Iho bead of Grant and his brace of conspirators, and hoty unfortunnto for Iho country, that we of this generation aro composed of less courugoous and virtuous materials - than our ancestors. Had the acts committed by thisndininistration been dono under the administration of Washington, tho Adamses, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe or Jackson, tho beads of tho perpetrators would not have been worth a rush to uny ono but a student of anatomy. Mark, we ssy odmlnislrnlion. The reader will understand that thero is a great difference, a vast distinction, between Administration and Govern ment, which unfortunately neither. our mule headed President nor a ma jority of his congress socm to under stand, or if they do they are greater villains than wo ever charged them wilh being. In a future articlo wo will moro particularly refer to this subject of government and adminis tration. In our present accursed Aus trian machine, where States aro belt down under tho point of tho bayonet, we do not recognize any form of gov ernment created by the mon of the Involution. Whatcvor Ihey mado of government was of consent, but the mongrels are making it a government of force. Wo hopo however the pecj plo will 6oon regain their senses ant) aid in restoring the old government of consent. If there is no oilier way of doing il, let those who are for fjreo bo quickly banged as traitors. It is their privilege to enjoy that honor, for the future well being of iheir country. To disposo of thorn in this way is a duty wo owo to posterity and to thoso who bequeathed to us this govern ment of liberty and independent sov ereignties. s e The Appleton Divorce Case. Ono of tho most singular divorce cases ever brought before a Now York court is tho ono cntcrod In tho namo of S. F. Appleton by his brother D. S. Appleton, of tbe celebrated publishing houso of Appleton k Co. The strik ing singularity of this caso is tbe fact that the plaintiff sues, not in poison, but in proxy, and tho reason of this U Samuel F. Appleton has beon forsomo limo non cor.iposmcntis, and On inmalu of a lunatic asylum, in March 1804, Mr. Appleton married a Mrs. Warner; whoso husband, to whom sho was married in 1 841 ,lmd gone to California in 1851!, and as ho hud not been beard from for soino years wus believed lo bo dead. Bui to remove all obstacles to a second marriage, Mrs. Warner obtained a divorce in un Indiana court though Iho decree was not granted until about a month after she was married to Mr. Appleton. Within three yrars after tbo marrinco Mr. Appleton beoamoinsano, and his broth ers sent him to an asylum in Connect cut; but in Iho menu I'uno tho tn't hushund of Mrs. Appleton turned Uf) in New Yrk, whither ho had conic) from California. Shortly after Mr. Appleton was sent to tho asylum his brother, Daniel S., commenced pro ceedings for the annulment of his mnr riago, on the ground, I believe, of fraudulent representations on the part of his wife. James T. Brady look up the lulter, and wus zealous in her be half. Tho question to bo first decided, was, whether under the peculiar cir cumstances, tho plaintiff could sue by proxy ; and this question has just been decided in tho aflirmalive by Judgo Cnrdoza, who has had it under con sideriion for over a year. Judgo Car dozu finally found a precedent for al lowing tho next friend of a lunatic lq sno for him in such a rase, and tbo substunco of his decision is that Daniol S. Apploton has a right lo carry ou preecedings in Iho nsine of Samuel F. Appleton lor a divorco from the wo man who was married to him while sho bad another husband still living. Tho point of law involved in this case ii ouo of great importance, nnd con stitutes tbo chief interest of iho suit. Tbo probabilities aro thai tho case will bo curried to the highest Stuto Court beforo Mrs. Appleton or Mrs. Warner will submit.
