PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1864.
The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798
as Interpreted hy their Authors,
no Caw or right for nullification,
SCISSION, OR SECESSION.
HOW THE RESOLUTIONS WBRB RBOPOBED—MADI
SON'S ASH JEFFERSON>S E VIDENO a AGAINST SE-
The following is an Investigation of the claim set
upby certain modern politicians, that the Virginia
and Kentucky resolutions sustain, or;countenance:
the new-fangled doctrines of nullification, scission,
or secession. -.z~ i. r.,;r
Thh Virginia resolutions - drawn by Mr.
Madison, and offered by John Taylor, of Caroline,
In 1798. ' _
In the debate-on their adoption he olalmed for
them that they only advocated the repeal of the
alien and sedition laws, and Messrs. Brooke,
Cowan, Oureton, MagUl, G. K. Taylor, and Can.
Henry I.eo, who opposed them, did so chlefiy on the
ground of their tendenoy to bring the Government
and laws Into disrepute, and excite the people to In
snbordinatlon. Thronghont the, discussion, no one
objected to them that they would lead to a dissolu
tion of the Union. , t
Mr. Madison again and again complained. that
they had been wrested from their, true meaning by
the Sovtti CarolinanuUifiers, In support of their po
litical heresy. That they went no further than' a
request to Congress to repeal the obnoxious laws,
or in case of refusal to obtain an.amendment of the
Constitution prohibiting the enactment of similar
laws. The "Legislature subsequently virtually re.
pealedtoem by adopting a preamble and resolution
to the effect that the Supreme Court of the United
States had jurisdiction to decide disputes between
the State and Federal judiciary.
It has been very satisfactorily shownby Mr. Mans
field that not a single other State -responded favo
rably to the proposed amendment, as set forth in the
resolutions. Kentucky, it is ..true, had passed si
milar-resolutions, hut received the-same negative
replies.
The Kentucky resolutions were penned by Mr.
Jefferson, and offered by Mr. John Breckinridge
the same year.. The next year-resolutions were
passed which went to justify nullification, but with
them Mr. Jefferson had nothing to do. Fortunately
for the memory of that great statesman,- a contem
poraneous letter from hinj to Mr. Taylor denounces
the heresy of disunion, In which he says: "If, on a
temporary superiority of one party , the other resort
to scission, no Federal Goevmment cm exist.” Well
might his friends complain ghat the nnUifiafs made
ills name the pedestal of then colossal heresy.
The Constitution emphatically declares, “this
Constitution and the laws of the United States
which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all
treaties made, or which shall be made, under the
authority of the United States, shall be the supreme
lavs of the land,” ,
JOBS TATLOK OB CAROLINE— MADISON'S VIBW OF
STATE SOVEREIGNTY—THE RESOLUTIONS VIR-
The third,of the series of resolutions offered by
Mr. Taylor, in the Virginia legislature, December,
1798,’was as fellows:
* “ This Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily
declare that It views the powers of the Federal Go
vernment, as resulting from the compact to which
the States axe parties, as limited by the" plain sense
and intention of the Instrument constituting the
compactand that In case of a deliberate, palpable,
and dangerous exerolso of other powers not granted
by the said compact, the States, who* are the partieß
thereto, have the right, and are In duty bound, to
Interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and
for maintaining within their respective limits thd
authorities,- rights, and liberties appertaining to
them.”"- "
The report of the debate, though brief, gives us
a olear contemporaneous exposition of this ’resolu
tion. Mr. Taylor was versed in all the subtleties of
States Bights. He was too honest a man,to mlsfe*
present his own views as to the effect of. the "resolu
tions. He closed the debate on their adoption tons :
“ He did sot admit or contemplate tliat a conven
tion would be called. He only said that if .Con
gress, upon being-addressed to hav&.these laws re
p’ealed, should persist,.they might, by a convention
of the States, be compelled to tall a convention.", . •
In his letter to Mr. A. H. Hverett, August,-18S0,
Mr. Madison says of the Constitution: "It was
formed by-the States, that is, . bys-the people in each of
(he States, acting in their highest, sovereign capacity,
and formed consequently by the same authority which
formed the Stale Constitutions:
“Being thus derived from the same source as the
Constitutions of the Stateß, it has, within each
State, the same authority as the Constitution of the
State, and Is as much a Constitution, In the strict
sense of the term, within Its .prescribed sphere,.-as
are the Constitutions of the States within their re
spective spheres; but with this obvious and essen-
tial difference, that being a compact among the
States In their highest sovereign capacity, and con
stltntlng the people thereof one people for certain
pnrposesj'lt cannot be altered or- annulled at the
.will of tbs States indlvldally, as-the Constitution of
a State may be at Its Individual will.”
To Mr. Cabell, In 1831, be writes: «I know not
whence the Idea could proceed that I concurred In
the doctrine that although a State could not nullify
a law or the Union, It had a right to seoede frpm
the Union. Both spring--ftom the same poisonous
root.”
And in 1882 to Mr. Trlst: “If-one State oan at
will withdraw from the others, the others can, at
will, withdraw from her, and-turn her nolentem
volentem put of the Union. Until of late, there Is
not.» State that would have abhorred such a doc
trine more than. South Carolina, or more dreaded
an application of it to herself.'-
Sofaras the authority of the Legislature gave
currency to the resolutions, that sanction was in
effect revoked In their action upon the resolutions
of the legislature of Pennsylvania for resisting the
judgment of the .United States Court in the Olm
stead case. The report leas follows :
“The committee to whom was referred the com
munication Atom the Governor of Pennsylvania,
covering certain- resolutions of the Legislature of
that State, proposing an amendment to the Consti
tution of the United States by the appointment of
an Impartial tribunal, to decide disputes between
State and Federal judiciary, have had the same un
der consideration, and are of opinion that a tribu
nal Is already provided by the Constitution of the
United States, to wit: the Supreme Court.
" The creation of such a tribunal ps has been pro
posed by Pennsylvania would, In the opinion of
your committee, tend to Incite rather than pre
vent collisions batween the Federal and State
courts. ■, ; - :\
“ Resolved, therefore, That the Legislature of this
State do disapprove ol the amendments of the Con
stitution of, the United States proposed by Jbh®
Legislature of Pennsylvania.”
January 23,1810.— Agreed to- unanimously by the
House of Delegates.
' January 23,1810.— Agreed to by the Senate unani
mously.
PBBSIDBMT MADISON'S WARNING AND PRBDIC-
‘ With tie voice of wisdom and prophetic warning,
Mr Madison, three-quarters of a century since, ad
dressed his countryman against this very doctrine
of State rlghtß, as now understood by latltudlna
rlan politicians:
“I sujjmlt to yon, my fellow-citizens, these con
siderations, In full confidence that the good sense
which has so often marked your decisions will allow
them dne weight and effect; and that you will never ‘
suffer difficulties, howcver y formidable in appearance,
orhowever fashionable the error on which they may be
founded, to drive you into the gloomy, and perilous
scenes into which the advocates for disunion would
drive you. Hearken hot to the unnatural voice
which tells you that the people of America, knit
together as they are by so many chords of affection,
eaa no longer live together as members of the same
family; can no longer continue the mutual
guardians of their mutual happiness; ean no longer
be fellow-citiaens of one great, respectable, and
flourishing empire. Hearken not to the voice which
petulantly tells you that the Government recommended '
for your adoption is anoveUyin the political worlds
that it never yet had a place in the theories Of the wild
est projectors; that it rashly attempts what it is impos
sible to accomplish. No, my countrymen, shut your
ears against such unhallowed language. If novel
ties are to be shunned, believe me the most alarm
ing of all novelties, the mostwild of all projects, the
most rash of all attempts, Is that of rending us In
pieces, In order to preserve our liberties and pro-;
mote our happiness.”
Forty years later, and after having with eminent
ability and dignity filled the highest .offices within
his country’s gift, he again counselled his fellow
oltlzens against the evils now brought upon our
country by wicked and dlßloyal men.
«in all the views that may be taken of questions
between the State Governments and the General
Government, the awful consequences of ft Anal rup
ture and dissolution of the Union should never for
a moment be lost sight of. Suoh aprospeot must be
deprecated—must be shuddered at by every friend
of hlB country, to liberty, to the happiness of man.
For in the event of a dissolution of the Union an
impossibility of ever renewing It is brought home to
every mind by the difficulties encountered In estab
lishing It. The propensity of all communities to
divide, when not pressed Into unity by external
dangers, Is a truth well understood. The happy
union of theße Stateß Is a wonder; their Constitu
tion a miracle; their example the hope of liberty
throughout the world. Wo to the ambition that
would meditate the destruction of either.”
Again, near the close of his long and Illustrious
career:

last of which Is a* follows:'
“ That thesevSrM |>tates, composing the United
'States of Amerlca.arenot united oh the principle
of unlimited submission to the general Govern
ment, but that by’a.; compact under the style of a
Constitution for the United States, and of amend

and not the Constltuttpn, the measure of its powers;
hut that, as in all other cases of compact among
powers having no common jndge, each party has an
equal right to judge-for itself as well of infractions
as of the mode and measure of redress.”
The Legislature, li pissing these resolutions, had
.no idea of extending tftejn to justify nullification or
secession. There was a subsequent resolution passed
the next year, which Went to that extent, hut with
that Mr. Jefferson had tfotblng to do.
“It la remarkat>ie, I ’lsi.yß Mr.‘ Madison, “how

TBE REBEL PAPERS.
SHERMAN’S LINE OF MARCH.
Naval Activity from Charleston.
THE PEACE AliD RECONSTRUCTION TOPIC.
From our correspondents at the front we have re.
oelved Richmond exchanges of December Ist and 2d
.The doubtful tone still prevails concerning General
■Sherman’s movement, and the public opinion of re
beldom is preparing Itselffor. theohanoe of defeat.
The topic ol peace still survives; as will be seen by
-the, resolutions of the rebel Congress.
SHERMAN'S MARCH—FIGHT AT OOONKB BRIDGE.
In printing the extracts from the Savannah pa
pers, the Sentinel remarks:
"We omit tome items, the publication of which in
the Georgia papers truly surprises vs. What are the
■editors thinking about 1 Why do Aot the generals
caution them ! The Savannah Republican of the
26th of November gives a telegram to Gen. Hardee,
to the effect that, 1 Major Hartrldge had driven
the enemy back across the Oconee river,’ a
piece of Information about as valuable as
the stories In vogue at the time of Lee’s Penn
! sylvania Invasion, thatOaptaln So-and-so had driven
the enemy from Chambersburg. Tbe rebel Gen,
Wayne was in command at Oeoneo Bridge on Ihe
26th, says the Savannah Republican— the main body
of Sherman’s.army thirteen miles west of Saunders
viile, moving rapidly and spreading devastation,
the rebel cavalryman, Wheeler, crossing eighteen
miles below Oconee Bridge to aid its defence.
Oconee Bridge is upon the Georgia Central Rail
road, which extends between Savannah and Macon,
and is one hundred and ninety miles long, crossing
the river Oconee at Toombßboro, thirty-six miles
east of Macon. Mllledgevtlie is on the Ooonee
river, twenty miles above Toombsboro. ‘
THE MOVEMENT PROM MILLEDGBVILLLB—SLOCUM'S
The force that captured Milledgevllle left .on the
night of the 23d, after “ burning the State House
and Penitentiary (i). Slocum’s corps had been ope
rating on the Georgia road up to the night of the
22d. His entire column had gone down the
west side of the river, indicative of an at
tempt to pass by Augusta, and slipping be
tween it and Macon, plunge towards the sea by Sa
vannah or Brunswick.
THE LINK OF SHERMAN’S MARCH AND STRATEGY.
The “ Georgia road” is the railroad that leads
from Augusta to Atlanta. This road also crosses;
the Oconee river at a point about thirty miles above
Milledgevllle, and about ninety miles west of Au
gusta. “The country between Warrenton and
Sparta,’’.spoken of before as “one universal bog,”
lies on both sides of the Ogeeehee river, a. conside
rable stream, which flows parallel tothe Oconee and
Savannah rivers, and about midway between them.
The Ogeeehee, we believe, Is pretty generally Banked
by marshes.
The army of Sherman came down from Atlanta,
between the Oconee and the Oemulgee rivers, the
two streams which, a hundred miles from the coast,
form the Altahama. The general direction of these
rivers is south southeast. The tiemnigee lathe more
westerly. Macon Is on the west bank of the Oo
mnlgee, so that, to occupy it, Sherman would have
had to cross'that stream. MllledgevlHe being on
the west side of the Ooonee, Interposed no siich dif
ficulty to its occupation. A maroh upon Savannah
or Augusta implies the crossing of both the Ooonee
and Ogeeehee. rivers. It Is at the crossing of the
former to whleh the above operations refer. If Au
gusta and Savannah both be avoided, and am inter
mediate line leading to Charleston be adopted, it
will Involve the crossing also of the Savannah, the
Combahee, and the Edlsto rivers, besides numerous
smaller streams.
X.ATEB REPORTS.
General Wayne Is said to have whipped Kilpa
trick at Ooonee Bridge, and reports that he Is “ aide
to take eare of himself.” Wheeler “ has Intercept
ed his enemy, and is giving him no rest.” Seven
hundred prisoners were captured by his cavalry.
Governor Brown was in Macon* where a small
Union force had been met and repulsed.
OMINOUS PREPARATIONS NEAR CHARLESTON.
The Charleston Mercury has a theory that neither
Beaufort' nor Savannah Is the haven -for which
Sherman is aiming, but that he designs moving on
Charleston, and gives the following os its reasons:
“They are’busy in mortar mounting and prepara
tions,-and have brigade drills. They have buoyed
out Bull’s Bay not far to the northward. They have
a fleet of some dozen monitors at Port Royal; and
somewhere on the Atlantic.coast a dozen find a half
more, Including ships like the Ironsides,and Dicta
tor; these preparations indicate'an attack on
Charleston by the water approach. The signs are
confirmed' by the - statements of northern papers
that Charleston Is the point desired and aimed at:”
PROCEEDINGS OF THE .REBEL CONGRESS—THE PLO-
AFFAIR. .
Wednesday, Nov. 80, the following resolutions
wore adopted:
Resolved, That the seizure of the Confederate war
steamer Florida hr tho United States steam sloop of
war Wschusett, In the bay of Bahia on the lihOotobsr
last, was a flagrant ontrageupon the territorial sove
reignty of Brazil, vlo. ative of the rights of- this Govern
ment in neutral waters, in disregard of the law at na
tions, and therefore a wrong done to every civilized
maritime Power. -
Resolved , That it was the duty of Brazil, under the
iaw of nations, to protect the property of the Confede
rate States, whilst within its territory, against the hos
tile acts of every Power; and having failed te give Buoh
protection, that that Government is bound to enforce
the restitution, in state:, ipso, of the steamer Florida, bv
the authorities of the United States to the.authorities of
the Confederate States, in the bay. of Bahia, where it
was unlawtully captured.
THE PEACE DISPOSITION—CONVOCATION OP THE
REBEL STATES. ...
Tho following was proposed liy JUr: s Fdote, bnt In
differently received: : - - '
Mr. Foote offered tho following resolution :
Resolved', That however justifiable it might be, !n a
cage of " intolerable oppression, ” for any one 01 more
of these States to withdraw from the existing Confede
rative Dnion, yetthereia no:hingln the present con
dition of public affairs to justify such extreme action,
and that it -would be alike unwise ana unpatriotic for
any one of said States, or any number of them less
than the whole, to make a separate peace with the
common enemy, or to engage in movements looking
to such a result, bnt that it is unquestionably allow
able for aaid States, in their hiehest sovereign capacity,
to sonfer together, in general'convention or other-:
Wise, in a manner not repugnant to thaornanieeom
pact, for the-purpose of imparting to their common’
agent, the Confederate Government, each additional
ipowers as may he needed for the eitleient prosecution
of the pending war for independence'; or with a view
to amplifying, so far as may be judged needful, the
existing treaty-making, powers of said feovbrnment,
in order to secure as early a cessation of hostilities and
restoration ofpeace as would be compatible with the
honor, the safety, and tie permanent happiness of the
people of said Confederate States.
PBBSOHAX HATTERS.
Should Sherman capture. Augusta, and all who
are in It, 1 be will secure a windfall of distinguished
captives. Johnston, Beauregard, and Hardee are
there, with Brigadiers Wright (Lieutenant Gover
nor of Georgia), Chestnut (ex-Senator), Blanchard,
Garret, and a number more without commands.

GKANT IN PHILADELPHIA.
[From.the Richmond Whig, Dee. 1.3
“My G-S there Is General Grant!” This em
-phatio, but slightly profane, exclamation escaped
he lips of a soldier one day.last week in Pliiladel
pkla, on seeing the Lieutenant General of aU the
Yankee.armles passingalong Chestnut .street. If
the exelted'soldler had announced that a resnsol
tatedmegatherlum, or a revivified Incarnat&lohthy
osanras was at that moment perambulating the
fashionable thoroughfare of thePennsy Iranian me
tropolis, astonishment could not have been-more rife
In the popular soul, or Incredulity In the popular
mind. That the valorous hero of fifty glorlouadefeats,
and as many magnificent failures, should make Ms
-appearance, not standing “’mong men like a de
scended GOd,” but In a rough overcoat, with outside
pockets, Ms heroic hands being thrust into the same,
a slouched hat drawn hard down over Ms military
eyes, and a cigar in Ms martial mouth, was some
thing well calculated to excite the skepticism of
even the moribund PMladelphlans. It was “Mgh
lnneh time ” in .the Quaker City, and the thrifty
Inhabitants thereof were solacing themselves,with
/pickled oysters when the- startling, announcement
was made, that General Grant was passing along
Chestnut street, like “any. other man.” m 'the
twinkling of an eye, so we are Informed by the
Philadelphia Press, the restaurants and saloons were
'emptied; an excited and inquisitive multitude
poured Into the street; the neighboring districts heard
the cheers of the cfewftjMd caught np the cry; from
-the centreto the* extremities of the city the rumor
spread ; from Kensington, Spring Garden, Moya
mousing, and Northern Liberties poured the anxious
and inquiring human stream; such agitation, such
commotion, suoh excitement had never before been
seen In PMladelphfer-not since the day when the
amiable inbabltaats.ajjuused themselves with burn
ing churches and rbast&g Romanists. Merchants,
mendicants/ and mechanics; brokers, bakers, and
hankers; printers, players, and pickpockets; offi
cers and oystermentailors and tobacconists; sol
diers, seamstresses, and sailors; oooks, courted
sans, and clergymen; Jews and Gentiles—mingled
In the tumultuous, surging ocean. The General
was caught and nearly suffocated In the rushing
tide. At one moment he was carried off his legs;
at another Ms arms were -.nearly wrenched
from their sockets; and then Ms greatcoat, barely
escaped being swept away.. Bnt, In the meantime,
the Lieutenant General was as cool as a encumber
or an icicle. Not to quail before a Philadelphia
mob, hhd he triumphed lnglorlously at Spottsylva-
Ela. and failed magnificently at Petersburg. Ne
vertheless, tbeposltlon was uncomfortable, and was
rapidly becoming insupportable, when reinforce
ments arrived on the ground, and, after-desperate
exertions, sueeeeded in bearing away the Invaluable
Grant from the perilous embraces of Ms
admirers. ToOfficer Games, of the mnniolpal po-
Mce, does the Yankee’nation owe this timely pre
servation (of its hero—to a local telegraph office is
it indebted for tho shelter then extended to that
belovefthead. Bnt even here he was not entirely
safe. Popular curiosity was not to be thus nip
ped In Its hud; popular devotion not to he thus
oropped ln-Its bloom. The crowd edged through the
dooT, climbed in at the windows, ana clamored and
. hurrahed around the entrance—amid all of wMoh
the illustrious General, turning to hls feltMnl staff
officer,said, “John, give me’a cigar;” which the
faithlM staff officer did; and the heroic General,
after placing the honored weed between Ms martial
lips, proceeded to reveal to the poetle eye, so we
are Informed by the veraolous journal above quoted,
“how empires rise and fall”—the same being Illus
trated by. the curling smoke whloh ascended from
that commanding mouth. /Whether or not the cla

Soldiers’ Families.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sib : I am glad to Bee that the attention of tA®
public has been called, through your valuable pa *
per, to the above subject, by a city pastor. I, as
another city pastor, have a word to say on this sub
ject, In my pastoral labors I have often been
deeply affected by the scenes of poverty and dis
tress among the widows, wlvesj and children of sol
, diets. While Qte noble men who have gone to fight
for their country should not be neglected, those
whom they have left behind ought certainly to be
cared for. If we are truly Interested in the soldiers
■ themselves, we, to be consistent, must be Interested
In those whom they have left at home. There should
be some systematic' and vigorous effort made in this
direction. -
Numerous facts have come under-my observation,
which, if given to the public, would move any one,
unless possessing a heart of stone.
I heregivo one case: Some nine months since a
gentleman who' held a comfortable position, being
-actuated by the hobleßt feeling of patriotism,-re
signed his place, and enlisted in the 20th Ponnsyl
vanlaCavalry. He had a witoand several children,
but he lias received only two months’ pay since he
left, whloh he sent ,home. For the last seven months,
part of whloh time he has been slab, he has not
drawn his pay. His family has been In a really
suffering condition, and is to-day. Bis wife has "a
babe, and Is In feeble health. Unless help comes
soon she may lose her life. She fears that she will
be under the necessity of selling her furniture,
which win only afford a small relief. Wore her
husband paid what Is dne him her pressing want
would be relieved. Here Is an educated, highs
minded, patriotic woman, whose patriotic husband
has gone to fight for Ids country, suffering for
bread, and her children are In the same condition.
When the head of this family hears of their desti
tution and neglect, how must his heart sink within
him! Gan be bavethe heart he otherwise would have

There were large sales of Government bonds alike
Stock Board yesterday, while everything else wasex
tremely dull. The 1881 s were about steady as to price,
and the 5-20 s adyaziced to 109 - The 10 40 bonds sold at
101. This steady advance of the national securities
during the past few days is due In part to the increasing
demand for these safe and remunerative -bonds from
abroad and from' our own'eitizens. Another cause of the
improvement is, however, the belief, which is daily
gaining ground', that, at no more gold-bearing
bonds will be Ismed, but that future loans will bear
interest in enrremey. How far this opinion may be
correct it is impossible at present to determine. Mr.
Fessenden may, perhaps, recommend, with certain
important modifications, some such plan for the con
sideration of Congress ; but that it;will be adopted in
the form in which it is now suggested l is extremely im
probable. \ . ,

The Philadelphia and Tldeoute Island Oil Company,
owning an island In Allegheny river, near the celebra
ted Seonomite wells, in Warren county, has been suc
cessful in finding a well yielding forty barrels per day.
This company started some six months ago, and has
been prosecuting their search for the oleaginous* In
1861 the Island yielded two hundred barrels. Sales of
stock were made yesterday at SS.
New discoveries of oil regions are being made in dif
ferent parts of-Canada, and the States of New York,
Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky, In the counties of'
Cattaraugus, Niagara, Wyoming, and Schuyler, In
New York State, the'people hare caught the infection,
and are getting wild over the prospect of a speedy dis
covery of oil. In some sections of Ohio, particularly
in Washington county, and along the Little Hocking,.
indications of oil have appeared, and boring is now
going os, The spirit of petroleum speculation appears ;
to be but just in its infancy. New companies are spring
ing into existence every day, and before the close of the,
comingyear we shall expect to see at least five hundred
companies organized,; with an aggregate capital,of four
hundred millions of dollars.
Attention is invited to the advertisement of the Com-,
monwealth Oil Company, located in Lawrence county,
Pennsylvania; capital stock of S2PQ,OOO, with a reserved
capital of $15,000 for working purposes.
