sco it Democrat, well I'l-adjind inlclli
gent on nearly nil tho iiiipnrliiiit mat
Uro, who imagine that it in imposui
bio to return again to tho Htnto tho
country was in befm-o tho war. They
think tho work of revolution has al
ready gono too fur, to chorinh tho
hope of going bulk to lliu Constilu
tion a il whh. They luko tho posi-
tion thitt tho hiivoc which a )oliiicul
pot-ty has been uhlo to client through
n reign of terror must slum! aa n per-
niunent condition of thing. I ho iilcu
of each pcoplo scent to bo that lliu
only object tho Democratic party ban
in gelling into power is to avail itttcll'
of tho epoils of office In their en
larged patriotism, principle pus for
nothing. They liavo un indUlinct
and miKiultcn notion about sonto sort
of policy, but principles appear to
bo something entirely beyond their
imagination. Tho principle ol Do
inocritcy wo linvo studied, teaches us
that no Democratic statesman and no
Democratic patriot will take into tho
hopo of success a thought of tho emol
ument of oflicc. In this great anil
dangerous emergency, the grand cen
tral idea of all success is to savo our
country from tho crushing despotism
which tho war linn 'iroughl upon it.
Tho work the democratic party hns lo
do is not to confirm this dcnpnlism,
but to rnzo it from turret to founda
tion slono, and to do tho work so
thoroughly and so inexorably that no
political party, however bud, shall
ovor venture upon tho tusk of cfTot ling
such u revolution again. The buniness
tho great Democratic purty ha upon
its hands is to get nil tho way hat k to
tho Constitution, from which it has
boon dragged by tho negro party now
in power. With tho principles, policy
und tho doing ol that party, Democ
rucy can huvo no coniproniiso there
is no half wny ground between their
principles and tho Const iltition, on
which ulono wo can stand. It is per
fectly conslntont for the) Itudieul par
ty, on account of tho tloctiiues lhey
udvoculo, lo dccluro that they l ave
"rcpudintcd tho Constitution." Mon
strous and criminul us their position
is, it is nevertheless consistent with
them. Dut llioio is no logicul ground
for tho Dcmoerulio purly to stand
upon but tho Constitution, and thin
must curry the parly back to ground
it occupied with so much honor und
with such grout, good rcsulls lo our
country, from tho dulo of tho Virginia
snd Kentucky Resolutions, in 1708, to
1801. Theno ovor moinorublo resolu

Jefferson und Mr. Madison, tho found

purpose of saving tho country from a
conspiracy set on fool by lliu Federal
ism, designed lo overthrow the sover

lhom into o single doxpouo govern
ment. This tho Federalists, under the
leadership of tho elder Adams, ut
tempted .lo do, und it was ibis very
attempt lo strip tho Stales of lltcir
sovereignty that hurled llio Fed e nil

PRINCIPLES,
CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6,
opinion, snd thai wasombrsued in tho
resolution of 98. Our Constitution
wss based upon this doctrine This
principle was discussod and acted
upon in tho convention that framed
tho Constitution. ' ll is Into there wns
a minority in lliutconveniion, rospect-
able for Us learning, which wnntcd n
nutionnl or consolidated govern mon t.
From llio day upon which tho conven
tion opened, in May, until tho 2ilU
day of June, tho convention had
resolution before it doclsring that "s
NutiOnul Govonuuf nt ought lo ba.
tttbliehed." Bui on the 2-rilh day of,
Juno a motion was mudo to strlku oat
tho word "National" and insert in its
stoad "United Stules." This was car
ried by an overwhelming majority,
and put an ond lo tho hnpo of the
oonsnlidulionists to form a Nutionul
Government. On this occasion, Gov
ernor Pullcrson, of . Now Jersey,
speaking on tho subject of amending
the article of confederation, said,
'can wo on this ground form n Na
tional Government f I fancy not.
Our commissions give no such com
plexion lo I ho business, und wo can
not suppose that when wo exceed the
bounds of our duly the pcoplo will
approvo our proceedings. Wo are
met hero as tho deputies of thirteen
independent sovereign Slnles, tor fed
oral purposes. Can wo consolidate
this sovereignty mid form one tuition,
and annihilalo the sovereignty of our
Slates, who have sent us hero lor
oilier purposes? I dccluro that 1
will never consent lo such a system
myself, or my Stale will ncvor submit
to tyranny or despotism." Luther
Martin said, "Tho General Govern-
meat is only intended lo protect and '
iruiird tho rights of tho States as.!
Slulcs. Tho basis of all ancient and
modern confederacies is tho freedom
and independence of tho Stales com
posing them." Such were the ideas
which prevailed in tho forming and
adoption of tho Constitution. Tlicto
is no possible, way in which the gov-
eminent can bo perpetuated, without
preserving tho independent -tluinoHtie
relations of thu States to each other
and tho Federal Government. This
principle, is so ubsoliitely nocoss'ury ,
to tho harmonious working of our s) s-1
tern ol government, that wo do not
believo tiny man in tho present Con
gress, unless ho oe a mggcr, over no-
Moved otherw ise. Wo have examined
the question in till its upccts. When
tho revolutionary party denied it and
disregarded these fundamental princi
plos, we behoved they hud no motive
but dcepulism und plunder. Bat
when member of tho Democrutio
purty, high in offleo nud honored by n
confiding consliluency, step Usido to
at least pulliulo tho crimes of thu
enemies of this country, if not toon
dorso them, wo looked for the facts,
and rind thut tho language of tho Su
premo Court on this subject is "Fur
all national purpose) iho Slutes and
tho citizens thereof are ono. In nil
olhor respects tho State are nocessa-
rily foreign lo and independent of each
other. They form a confederate gov
ernment, yet tho several Stales retain
their individual sovereignties, and
with respect to their municipal regu
lations nro to each other sovereign."
Seo 2 Peters, vol. 1, 605; 10 rotors,
,179; 12 Whetiton, 834; 0 Wheaton,
410. 'Tho residuary power of legis
lation mo still In tho States." 3
hciiton, 887. "Tho sovereignty ofjposo
tho Slulcs extends to everything
which exists by its own authority, or
is introduced by it permission." 0
Wheaton, 4J9 ; 4 Polors, 504.
This has always been lliu doctrine of
the Democratic purly, and tho Su
premo Court hns uniformly affirmed
it, and it is still tho doctrine of all
Iruo Democrats. If any man, culling
himself a Democrat, says different, ho
has oithcr boon prostituted by tlte
negro party or is not compotent
to comprehend tho true thoory ol our
government. To talk of preserving
tho Union, or rather restoring ii.
without preserving tho local ind
pcitdcnco of the States, is as chimeric,
and absurd ns it would bo to cut
man's heud off und expect him to liv
"Local self government and perfer
Slulo sovereignty ovor nil Its dome-
lie affairs, is tho mainspring th
keeps our whole federal system
lawful motion." It will bo utter
i m possible tn preserve. Iho oonstiini
lional relations of the several Slatii
to tho Federal Government, if thu d -meslio
independence of the States f
destroyed. . When iho Slnio aysten
uro destroyed, it will of course U
nocossuiy to charge iho federal sy4
tern, and that is the revolution ill
negro party in Congress is working 14
olTcct. Old Thud. Slovens, who had
moro bruin and couruga lliun th
majority of his party, boldly admitted
that they Svuru under Iho absolute
necessity of "repudiating tho Consti
tution." Now to slop Ibis reyplnlion,
tho Democratic party must lull back
to tho principles of local sovereignty
and Slulo independence. Tho man
who can discern any mid-war principle
nnywhero between local self govern
nicpt and federal despotism, is lit for
nothing but an Insnno asylum. Wo
conioss our humiliation lo admitting
tbts there sre few nea who, plsfai to
; NOT MEN.
bo Domocruts, who nro willing that
the havoo thus fur wrought by the no
gro purty shall stand us a permnnonl
condition of tho country. They nro
in tho habit of using such language us
this: "Tho question of Slates rights
was submitlod to tho arbitration of
urms, unit it was lost, and wo must
now tnkolhocomoquencos." Just ex
actly what tho revolutionists say.
Rut this not true. Tho question of
Stuto rights wo moan ol local self
govornment ovor all its domestio of-uirs-vfWAS
novor legitimately involved
in tho war. Tho only question in
volved was Iho-right of Slulo to
resume tho exorciso of the powers
which il had delegated to tho Federal
Government. This was tho only
question in issue, tho right of resump
tion of tho powers which had boon
delegated. But tho question of the
right ol' a Suite to absolute sovereignly
over all its domestio concerns, was
not in dispute Even Lincoln's proc
lamation declared ''Thut hereafter, us
heretofore, tho war will be prosocutud
for tho object of practically restoring
tho cnnttituHonal relaliont brtwern the
United States and each of the States."
Certainly the constitutional relations
between Iho Unitod States and tho
Slates by no means includes thu do
mosiio sovereignty of Ilia Status.
Tho internal organization or orgupic
rights of tho Suites would bo the
sumo, whatever their constitutional
relations were to tho Federal Govern
ment. Tho powers which they hud
delegated to the Federal Government
did not involvo tho Stales' supremo
control over all lltcir domestic con
cerns. Whether thoy succeeded in
resuming tlicso delegated powers or
not. tho orminio character of iho
Stales would not bo changed by any
principle involved in tho question of
resumption. This luct Lincoln clear
Iv confessed In bis proclamation. Tho
satno thing was confessed in' h'u in-
uiigei'sil nddross, when ho said, "I do-
chiro lluit 1 havo no pnrposo, directly
or indirectly, lo interfere with slavery
in tho Slates where it exist. I be
liovo thut 1 havo no lawful right to do
so " Hero is n plain, straightforward
declaration that tho relations between
tho Federal Government and the
several Slates did not involvo the
question of the domestic sovereignty
of Iho Stales in tho leitsl degree. Tho
Ucpublicdii convention that nominated
Lincoln, expressly affirmed tho sumo
doctrine in this resolution : "Resolved,
Thnt tho maintenance inviolate of the
right of each Statu to order und con
trol its own domestic institutions o
enrjliiijr to its own judgment exclu
sively ,i essential to tho balance of
powei : on which our political fubrrj
depon Is."
This1 sumo principlo of perfect local

tho oxlurr.nl question of Iho right of a

powers which it delegated to tho
Fcdcrul Government. Thereforo, wo
suy that this sovereignty cannot havo
bean legally touched by tho war, bo
can so tho right of local self govern
ment, or of perfect domestio sovcr
cignty, was nover dolegutcd to the
Federal Govornment. A political
purty usurping authority has at
tempted to overthrow It, and a propo
sition lo acquicsco in such a usurpa
tion is to rcpudialo llio Constitution,
to doslroy our system of government,
and should como only from a coward,
a fool or a scoundrel. To sny that
Stuto sovereignty is dead, is equiva
lent tosuying that tho right of self
government, of liberty, is dead. It
would declare thut tho great Demo
cralic party, with all its boasts, with
ull its triumphs, is composed ofsueuks
cowardly enough to become purlies lo
tho crime ol her political opponouts
in overthrowing tho government of
the country and tho liberties of iho
people. Wo refer with mingled feel
ing of shumo and contempt to tho
resolution offered by Mr. Brooks, of
Now York, in tho begining of Febru
ary, declaring thoso infamous con
gressional enactments, called tho 13lh,
14th and 5lh amendments lo the
Constitution, legal. Mr. Urook knew
thut ho lied when ho wrolo that reso
lution. Thu very fact that suggested
tho necessity of thu resolution, must
slnnd as u positive condemnation of
tho manner in which Iho fraud wero
obtained. Tho fools or knaves who
voted for that resolution, knowingly
recorded themselves ns being in favor
of tho destruction ol tho government
formed by our falhors, by blotting out
Iho sovereignty of tho Slutes, on
which nlono tho government wus or
could have "been founded.
' Stripped of ull sham and lying dis
guises, it Is simply iiuotlicr proposition
lo hasten tho revolution which can
only end in the destruction ol lliis gov
ernment. It isa thousand times worso
than ull iho follic. of secession com
hined. If iho secessionist is n traitor,
thoko who voted for tho Brooks reso
lution aro double traitors, becnuso
they go for destroying tho organic
principle on which our govornmenl
is based. Tho orginul, inherent and
undelegated powers of n Slulo cannot
bo taken nwuy from it, not oven by
lha nc;ion of all tho other Stules,
through tho form of altering tho Con
stitution. Tho clause of tho Constitu
tion giving u certain number of Stales
tho power ol altering tho Constitution,
does not by any moans givo tho ma
jority tho right to overthrow tho vost
ed rights or to destroy tho organic
being of n Slulo. The voto of the
majority lo niter tho Constitution,
cannot touch iho minority in uny
mutters thut wero not dolegutcd in
l hut instrument, under which the al
terations claim to havo bcon mudo.
Tho reserved or undelegated rights of
tho States uro not subject to any juris
diction which tho Slates do not them
selves sanction. Suppose Unit under
tho plea of nllcring tho Constiution,
lltreo quarters of tho Stales should
vote, through their representatives In
Congress, to reduce nil iho people of
tho other quarter to a stuto of bond
age, would that oo law r o ao not
Iiehovo that Mr. lirooKS oi -ow i one-
is such u fool, or that there is n man
in Congress fool onongh, to beliovo
(hat under tho pten of altering llio
Constitution tho organic und untrans
ferable rights of Slate can bo legally
overthrow n. It is much ouster for us
to believo lliul Mr. Urooks and thoso
who voted with him nro rascals, than
lo let them off under iho moro clou i

to fervently rcsolvo nover to givo up

result of such a slrugjo cannot bo

As attempted by Congress it is not
only dosliuctivo, but Africanization
of American society.
Tho failure of tho Southern Stutcs
to resume the exercise of their mere
external or delegated powers has in
no degree legally effected their organic

Stuto. In a legal viow o iho case,
Congress is simply making trnr upon
theso Slates. But they huvo only to

"The experience of many yesrt bus

ultribuled to tho Improper and un.
timaly uio of barnyard manure. In

und sowed with oats, and npon tho

When this crop is removed, bring jour
