WEDNESDAY MORNING. JAN. 31, 1872.
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.

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

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,

If we liavo imccooded in interesting
tlio reader wilh tho Bngt;estionBOn the
subject of Blnto Sovereignly, it will
further interest them to review the
history of our colonial and Stale
union,. '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

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 Indiana, and devise such olhor

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

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,

must have been of tho CI reek: y .kind,
peaceable, for thoy wero nearly three

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.

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

solution of two "perpetual unions,"."
in loss than twelve yoai-s, together
with a third perpetual uniin at an
earlier period, may have been indtiood
on mat account to loavo mo word,
"porpcluul" out, aa of no significance.
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)

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

Tho point of law involved in this case
