"A Compact Among Sovereignties."
[For The Press.]
At the late National Hall meeting, in this'
citi—the object of which, judging tram the
resolutions and the line of argument adopted
by some of tho speakers, seems to have been
to give aid and comfort to those who are en
gaged in the patriotic work of breaking up the
Government—an officer of the General Go
vernment—the amiable and accomplished
District Attorney of the United States for
this district—made a speech, in which he de
clared the Federal Constitution to be "a
compact among sovereignties," and argued in
favor of the right of secession. It is true that
he made the exercise of this right dependent
upon the violation - of the rights of the South;
but, as he immediately added, tel . have been
of the opinion, and still am, that the rights of
the South have been violated, and persistently
violated," it is clear that, in his opinion, the
condition had taken place which justifies the
exercise of the right, and therefore that the re
bellion against the Constitution and the Unien
is altogether defensible and right. Indeed, his
only opjection was that "secession when re
solved upon was premature." This is the
declaration of an officer of the Government;
not only of an officer of the Government, but
of a law officer, who is presumed, from his of
ficial position and professional attainments, to
have made the Constitution and the laws his
study. If ho is right, many who have de
voted some attention to the nature of our Con
stitution will be surprised to learn at last the
weak and contemptible nature of the political
system under which wo have so long lived,
and will wonder that the greatest intellects
which have Adorned our annals should have
entertained such deluded notions in regard to
the true nature of our system. If he is wrong,
then it is unfortunate that a heresy so perni
cious in its effects should be publicly taught
and advocated by an officer of the Govern
ment.
It is not the intention of the writer to weary
the patiehce of your readers by an elaborate
argument against this doctrinal defence of the
Secessionists by the District Attorney ; but,
inasmuch as the names of Madison and Hamil
ton are appealed to in the resolutions offered
at the meeting referred to, I shall content my
self with a few extracts from the writings of
those venerable- men, from which your read
ers may judge how far this idea of "a com
pact among sovereignties" and the defence
of the Secessionists is sustained by an appeal
to their illustrious names. General Hamilton
(Federalist, K o. 15) says: "The great and
radical vies in the construction of the exist
ing Confederation is the principle of legisla
tion for States or Governments in their cor
porate or collective capacities, and as contradis
anguished from the individuals of whom they
consist." After dwelling upon the evils of a
merely confederated Government, he proceeds:
"But if we are .unwilling to be placed in this
perilous situation, if we still adhere to the de
sign of a national Government, or, which is the
same thing; of a superintending power under
the direction of a Common Council, we must
resolve to incorporate into our plan those In
gredients which may be conszdered as forming
the characteristic difference between a league
and a government. We must extend the au
thority of the Union to the persons of the chi
, zens."
In the same paper ho says : ce In every po
litical association which is formed upon the
principle of uniting in a common interest a
number of lesser sovereignties, there will be
found an eccentric tendency in the subordi
nate or inferior orbs, by the operation of
which there will be a perpetual. effort in each
to fly off from the common centre i" and he
urges this danger as one of the grand argu
ments in.favor of-establishing a government
for the people, instead of «a compact among
sovereignties."
Mr. Madison winds up that splendid review
of ancient and modern examples, which is
given in Nos. 17, 18, 10, and 20 of ? the Fede
ralist, for the purpose of showing the tenden
cy of Federal Governments to anarchy among
its members, with these memorable words
et I make no apology for having dwelt so long
coutemlnaiion of these federal prece.
dents. Experience is the oracle of truth, and
when its responses are unequivocal they ought
to bo conclusive and sacred. The important
truth which it unequivocally pronounces in
the present case is, that a sovereignty over
sovereigns, 11 government over governments,
a legislature for communities, as coistradistin=
guished from individuals, as it is a solecism in
theory, so In practice it is subversive of the .
orderand ends of civil polity.—Federalist, No.
20.
In No. 22, General Hamilton adduces, as a
ktrorig argument against the existing Confede
ration, and in favor of the now government,
the tact that under the former, persons were
found who gravely argued in favor of the right
of any State to retire from the Confederacy.
Hear him cc Resting on no better foundation
than the consent of the several legislatures, it
has been exposed to frequent and intricate
questions concerning the validity of its pow
ers, and has, In some instances, given birth to
the enormous doctrine of a right of legislative
repeal. Owing its ratification to the law of a
State, it has been contended that the same au
thority might repeal the law by which it was
ratified. However gross a heresy it may be to
maintain that a party to a compact has a right
to revoke that compact, the doctrine itself
has had respectable advocates. The post'.
bitity of a question of this nature proves the
necessity of laying the foundations of our Na
tional Government deeper than in the mere
Sanction of delegated authority. The fabric of
✓lmerican empire ought to rest on the solid
basis of the consent of the PEOPLE."
These extracts might be accumulated until
they filled a volume as large as the Federalist
itself, for the whole scope of the argument
contained in those celebrated papers is that
this Government is not as a compact among
Sovereignties," but a Government emanating
directly from the people, and operating direct
ly upon the people. If any ono truth is ad
vocated and taught in these papers, ft is this,
that no State, and no power but the people,
who framed this Government, can destroy or
mutilate it. In No. 28 Hamilton distinctly
admits the right of the General Government
to use force 4c if the insurrection should per
vade a whole State, or a principal part of it."
In No. 18 he declares a general insurrection
against the Government to be, not what the
political philosophers of the National Hall
meeting call it, viz : an exercise of a reserved
right, but a revolution. "As to those mortal
feuds," says ho, cc which, in certain conjunc
tures, spread a conBagration through a whole
nation, or through a very large proportion of
It, proceeding either from weighty causes of
discontent given by the GoVernment, or from
the contagion of some violent popular parox
ysm, they do not fall within any ordinary rules
of coignfatten • when they happen they com
monly amount revolutions And dismember
ments ofEmpire."
When the District Attorney and his parti
sans, therefore, declare this Government to
be "a compact among sovereignties," and
advocate the right of secession, they have a
right to their opinions, and let them be re
ceived for what they are worth; but when
they Invoke the names of Madison and Hamil
ton in support of such sentiments, let all mon
understand the desecration to which these
venerable names are subjected by such use of
them; for almost every line which these ii_
Riatrioue statesmen have written febukes and
denounces tle taisa 4oetrinea which' are ad

NEGROES AND Nsono•SLevaar.—Undor this
head, Or. J. D. Van Rvrie—who is connected with
the New York Day Book, we believe—has written
a volume to prove the inferiority of the Negro

The idea is worked up with no small learning and
ability. On the same snikicat we have (publ(shed
by J. B. Lippincott 4; Co.) " Slavery Sanctioned

of not being diffuse.
WALKER'S Norms ON SCREW PRO"POLSION.—This
thin octavo of 50 pages, by Commander W. M.
Walker, U. S N., originally appeared in the
Atlantan Monthly. It treats of the rise and pro
gress of Sorow Propulsion, the principle anti work
ing of which it clearly gets forth. The Writer
rather begs the question, we think, whoa declaring
that John Stevens, of Hoboken, N. J , used a
eorew•propeller to drive a vessel through the
water, as early as 1604, ho claims for him the
honor of the invention. A more assertion does not
prove the faot, and even wore it true, the man who
reduces the invention so practice—as Fulton did
with Steam Navigation, and Stephenson with
Railiviylsm—is considered as meriting the honors.
Commander Walker, dividing the application of
the screw•propeller between Capt. Ericsson and
Mr. J. P. Smith, appears to give greater oredit to
Ericsson, though he did not take out his patent
until July, 1830, whereas Smith's intent was,
taken out fully two months before—namely, int
May, 1830. when he plaoad a vessel on the
Thames and worked her there, for nearly a year,
by a wooden sorew, "and in the course of the
year 1831, he visited in her several porta
on the coast of England, and proved that she
worked well in strong winds and rough water."
Now, Eriesson's trial vessel was not put upon the
Thames smell April, 1837, eleven months after
Smith had taken out kr patent and placed his yes.
eel on the Thames; also, after the withdrawill of
Smith's boat, on her coasting trials. Eriosson's
vessel was exhibited to the English Admiralty
Board, but Commander Walker says: " It seems
almost incredible, that no one of them had the in
telligence to porsolvo, or the magnanimity to ad
mit, tke importance of his invention." V/ by should
they? Smith had been in the field before him,
and Mr. Walker tolls us the trials of his vessel
"attracted much attention, and at last awakened
the interest of the [English] Admiralty, who ro•
quested Mr. Smith to try his propeller on a larger
vessel, and the Archimedes, of 90.borso power, and
237 tons, built for this purpose, was launched in
October, 1838, and made her experimental trip In
1839," going nearly ton miles an hour, Eriesson's
Princeton was not launobed until April, 1842,
nearly four years later than Smith's Archimedes.
And, in 1843, when Ericsson's arrow propeller was
pat into Proneh vessels, "in consequence of the
aticanints of Smith's screw received from England,
it 'underwent various modifications." It is evi'
dent, on Mr. Walker's own showing, that the
priority of the applleation of the arrow was
Smith's; that his trial boat had worked a year on
the Thames before Erioestm's wee exhibited there;
that bia Archimedes was launched nearly four
years before the Princeton; and that, finally,
Ericsson's screw was modified, or Improved on
Smith's• Both seen, no doubt, were at work on
thei same Idea at the same time, but &fifth, the'
farmer, was out with his plan in advance of Eriot-:
son, tbe engineer.

from the commencement of the Crusades, in the
last years of the 11th century, to the quarrel, a
century later, between Pope Innocent and Philip
Augustus of France. Numerous noted persons are
sketched here—lncluding Peter the Hermit, the

Frederick Barberona, Thomas a Becket, (an ex

Coeur do Lion, innocent 111, and Philip Augustus
The interest of this work Is greatly augmented, at
this moment, by the position of the present Pope,
and the 'popular belief that, like Henry 11. of Eng

temporal Head of the Church in his own domi
nions.

with the eamo warmth of feeling that oharaoter
ked suoli kind and unremitting attentions to the
delegation from Philadelphia, who visited your
nispeotive cities in October laat. Let me ammo
you, gentlemen, that those olvilitios have made a
deep and Jesting . Impression and it will not bo the
fault of our bualccas men iithey do not cultivate
them in future, so as to malt to our mutual ad
vantage and Interest. The continuous iron band
which now unites us together must, era long, make
it desirable that a considerable portion of your
broadstaffs should seek an outlet for transatlantio
markets at this port, whore, through the agency
of eteamera, yon may be in communication with
Europe in about a fortnight; while it will bo our
fault if we do not induce you to invest a part of
the proceeds of such cargoes to advantage in some
of the varied prodnota of tiro loom, or other
bronchia of manufacturing industry, with which
our oily toeme. 2'o some of these establishments
it ostillbo our pleasure to conduct you during year
stay, w well as to °bloats of a scientific or literary
character within our limits.
I wil now hand you over, gentlemen, to the
proper committee to whom is delegated the duty
of comboting you to Independence Hall, in which
timo-halored and cherished locality you will bo

Mr. fforton's remarks were greeted with ap
plause.

Mr. ludd then introduced Mr. Munn, of the
Chicago 3oard, who spoke as fellows :
: The low remarks I will make to
you will be altogether of a Western character, un
prepared, and without premeditation. Our pre
sence heft is an evidence that we have accepted
your kind invitation to visit your city. Such was
the strong desire of the people of the Northwest to
visit you, that those who bed charge of the ar.
rangintuenta of this visit found it very difficult to
confine their number even to its present extent I
assure you that the number is larger than wo at
first intended to have brought. We come not only
to represent.the general interest of the Northwest,
but to represent the mutual interest, commerolal
and otherwise, of the cities of the 'mast and of the
inttuor. Unacoustomed to sneaking, I yet feel
thatsomething should be said of the whole coun
try, to which we owe our fealty; and though I
wild to make no spread-eagle remarks, (laughter.'
thee is ono eagle that I reapoot and cherish—the
Annioan eagle. [Applause' When I lett the

Mr. Bill, of the Milwaukee Chamber of Couf

I will not go into the same details. A single house
in Milwaukee has shippod 40,000 bushels of wheat
to New York, in bags, at a cost of .29 (mute per
-bushel. That, in addition to the coat of bags,
makes the expanse very great. These matters
perhaps can be talked of. I beg to %return our
sincere thanks for this cordial reception, and to I
the Pennsylvania Railroad for their kindness in
passing its over their line of road.
Mr. Budd, of Philadelphia. stated that the Corn
Exchange and the Board of Trade had considered
the eubmot of grain transhipment, and it bad oecur
pied their attention during the recent eteuraloa

of building oars to run over either road, and else
the Fort Wayne road. The same may be yettlone,

RECEPTION AT INDEP,TATHNOIL LULL
Tbovisitors wore then escorted aoross the street,
to Independence Hall;where they wore formally
resolved by Mayor Henry, who spoke as follows :
Gent&men of the Boards of Trade of Chicago
and Milfoaukee : Alter the hearty greeting whloh
has awaited your arrival in this city, and whose
warmth, I doubt not, has made amends for the in
olemenoy of the day, your steps have been at
treated to tho spot of all others most replete with
Interest, in which I take pleasure In welcoming
you to Philadelphia. In so doing, gentlemen, l'
.recognize you as the representatives of a class
that, from the earliest annals of Ame loan history,'l
bag ever exercised a genial influence upon civili
zation, and the nurture of free inetitutions. I re
cognize you as the successors of mon who, in the
early struggles of our country, were among the
moat prominent and ardent advocates of indepen
dence. I recognize you as a ohms pureeing the
same liberal and noble calling which Morris, and
Hancock, and Livingston, and Whipple pursued.
They were merchant patriots; you are their sue
coseors. Their portraits surround us, and you
have assembled in this hall to do them reverence.
They appended here their names to that sacred
bond watch has given them immortality, and
conferred upon this city imperishable renown.
I also welcome you, as fellow•eitlzens of a
common country, dwelling far remote from this
consecrated plane, and, yet, possessing the same
right to stand within its venerated walls, and the
same share of its proud associations as those who
have been born and reared beneath its eaves. This
hall is a part and parcel of your heritage and
mine, and of the birthright of our children to the
same title of American citizens, giving ne an equal
right to every bob of American soil, encompassed
by our common independence. [Applause.] On the
last occasion, gentlemen, that I uttered welcome in
this place, in my.ofticial capacity, the cow:nitr
ate:tore wore received who came to locate a
site In the adjacent grounds for a national
monument, commemorative of the Declaration.
eleven short months have gone by sines
that period, and yet hew changed in spirit we are !
I shall not permit myself to allude to the en
grossing events of the day, nor to intrude re
floating foreign to the purposes of your visit.' In
the far.oLf horizon of that inland lea whose waters
bathe the feet of your beautiful pity, you have seen
the sun emerging from a crimson dawn, to ascend
on its appointed way, beheld its progress obscured
by miata and clouds upon the north and the south, 1
rolling together into dark and lowering skies ;
you have watched that glorious luminary as he
passed through the darkness and radiated and re
fleeted upon tho morning, God's how of promise.
[Applanue. j God grant that ere long the faint/.
stern and treason that obscure the early pathway
of our country's progress may be dissipated, and I
happiness again become the heritage of the whole
people [Applause.] Again I tender you a hearty
welcome to Philadelphia. for you are in the
hands of those who will take pleasure in showing
yon every object of interest. [Applause ]
Mr. Woodward, a legal gentleman of Chicago,
replied at considerable length. He felt highly
honored in the privilege of a response. They had
come to Philadelphia from one of the youngest
cities In the West—a city scarcely out of its teens
—to form acquaintances and inspect the operations
and resources of the City of Brotherly Love. If,
without glorification he could eo state, Chicago was
the leading city of the Northwest. The citizens
of that place looked through Philadelphia, and
other cities of the toast, upon the great world of
civilization and commerce that lay around and be
yond them. Chicago lays at stn head-waters of a
navigation extending to the Atlantic and seaboard.
It represented a capital of $5,000,000 upon the
great lakes. Its progress had been a source of
wonder and aetoniebment. It centred In the gar
den of the Northwest, and looked upon Milwaukee
as a sister, and not as a rival. Both laughed in the
ar Chair agriculture and trade. They
asked the business men or Philadelphia to see that
rival <titles upon the seaboard should eat stag trona
her the golden prize, They wished to renew pref.
fare of friendship -not alone to subserve the Al
mighty Dollar.
- Mr. Woodward then proceeded to review the
occurrences which had given notoriety to the ball
in which they stood, and expressed the intention
of the people of the Northwest to allow no traitor's
hand to disintegrate our Confederaey.
We had a right to etato that no State shoold
sever herself from the nationality. The Constitu
tion was made fora united people, and it devolved
upon every individual to uphold it. The govern
ment was sovereign, intended to protect all its
citizens Allegiance from it no State could dis
solve ; no act of modern ocourronae, conceived in
treason and born in rebellion, could abeolve the
people of any section from the penalties due to
their disaffeotion. They of Chicago had a deep in
terest in the question at IMO. In no email part
had they been instrninental in the parches° of
Louisiana, and the millions given for that terri
tory. as an outlet to the waters of the Mississippi,
would not he given up to our enemy. [Applause.]
Had they paid $15,000,000 to take the outlet from
ns ?
Gen. Rufus King, of the Milwaukee Sentinel,
then spoke, in substance as follows:
Re would not roans to national events, but gave
warm expression to the kindly greeting that the
excursionists had received. They had inspected
the splendid iron works at Johnstown, and seeing
from the same hill, iron, coal, and limestone taken,
had been deeply impressed with the immense ml
nem' resources of the State. They had marked
the Pennsylvania Railroad—that monument to so
gaelty, industry, and mechanical genius. They
had seen the forges of the valleys of the Allegheny
flashing upon the night. All those had been most
pleasant. Gen. King then humorously referred to
the snow, which corresponded to a rain which
had greeted the Philadelphians at Milwaukee.
Had the snow been ordered for the occasion?
[Laughter.] Be referred to the signing of the De
claration—God forbid that while the memory of
great deeds survived, the Constitution should be
annulled and the Union broken.
RECEPTION AT THE CORN =CHARON
At the Corn Exchange building, in Second
street, Air. Steele, president of the Board, received
the visitors in a written speech,
Gentlemen: There is a peculiar fitness, in view
of the nature of the main products of the great
Northwest, in your receiving a cordial welcome
from this association,
The advances recently made toward a more tho
rough alliance between your section and our city
will, we trust, ripen into a thorough and permanent
friendship. We must confess that we have cast a
longing eye upon the cereals of the West. The im
mense produotiveness of your lands, and the en
terprise and energy of your people, have at once
amazed Europe and the Old World generally, and
delighted us. 'We can say, then, with heartfelt
sincerity, you are welcome in Philadelphia.
Mr Munn now introduced Mr. Rums_ey, of the
Board of Trade of Mingo, who said : Mr. Presi
dent, I would bo glad if I felt that the flat
tering introduction of Mr. Munn was wholly found
ed on foot. We have met with various obstructions
on our route, and one of these I find In my throat,
and can hardly speak. Our Board of Trade once
made the mistake of electing me their president;
but they soon became so tired of me that they
chose Mr. Munn in my piece. This fact of my once
having occupied that post is, I suppose, the reason
of my being now called on to speak. We had some
trouble in getting by Pittsburg, and are rather
worn out, and so you cannot expect much from ns.
In the name of our Board, I would express our
satisfaction at your cordial greeting. We have en
joyed our visit thus far, and certainly enjoyed that
which you made to us. We are strong for union in
business, as well as in Government affairs. I thank
you for your welcome May we soon have an op
portunity to reciprocate.
Mr. Hill was next introdnood. Ile said : I cor
dially repeat the desire of Mr. Ramsey that this
meeting with you may tend to unite the Northwest
with this portion of the seaboard. It is not ex
pected after our hard travel that we should make
many speeches, though courtesy requires that we
should say something. In spite of our hardships,
we have greatly enjoyed our trip, and I pan do
nothing more now than echo the sentiments of
those who have preceded me.
Mr. Budd now announced that those of the dele
gates who wished to betake themselves to any of
the especially interesting looalities of the City,
would be provided with fitting escorts, while
the remainder would no doubt all spend their
time pleasantly and profitably in circulating
around among our merchants.
Last evening the visitors attended the oporatio
and musical entertainment of Mr. George Hood at
the Academy of Music.
This morning the visitors will be escorted to the
Academy of Fine Arts, the Academy of Natural
Sciences, Girard College, Fairmount, and the navy
yard.
At 7 o'clock on Friday evening the programme
will close with a magnificent banquet at the Con
tinental. Nearly four hundred persona will be
present.
On Saturday the members of the deputation will
be freed from any obligation of joint action, and
will move about the city as inclination may draw
them.
On Saturday a portion of the party will leave for
Baltimore and Washington, returning to this city
on Tuesday next, end remaining until the day fol.
lowing, when they will leave for the West. S.
Felton, Beg , president of the Philadelphia,
and Baltimore Railroad Company, has
kindly extended an invitation to the party to pass
over their road from this city to Baltimore, and a
spools) train will be provided for the purpose.
