THE BOOK OJV WHICH THJB HATIOH
SPLIT,
The historic discussion of the doctrine of
State lights has no distinguishing features not
common to the discussion of the same subject
wr the journals of thbday.' The aim of-State
Rights advocates, in .all periods of the life of
the republic, appears to us to have been, and
to be, a labored effort to ; prove the folly of two
universal laws, namely : Unity in Diversity,;
and this other, one—The Powers and .Function
of a Putt, can never be Equal to the Powers
and Function of the Whole. This statement
of the. case as.it presents itsejf to us, will fur
nish an indication of whatever argument may
be herewith presented.'
The individual is on epitome of society. He
lms certain rights, spme general, others par
ticular.*. The fdrmer.pertain to his relations as
a, member of organised society ; the latter ate
limited to the ordering of those minor affairs
with which written laws have nothing directly
to do. But no individual can be said to have
any rights .the exercise of. which may nut .be
restrained, or' prohibited altogether, when .the
well-being of society requires such restraint or
prohibition. ;
Brother words, the individual has the right
to life ; but be may forfeit his life, and the
right ceases.
. And whenever individual rights temporarily
conflict with the common rights of the masses,
t(ie tights of the community become paramount
and those of the individual must be. suspended
for the time being.
So, no man’s rights can ever become para
mount. The attempt to make them eo results
in murder, arson, forgery, theft, embezzlement,
breach of trust, and eo on, down the catalogue
of crime.
So with States :■ ■ They have rights in com
mon, and rights to be exercised and enjoyed
within their 'respective 'limits only. The first
pertain to them a,s constituents of the Union ;
the latter are defined, by State laws, and exclu
sively for State purposes. But no State can
have rights, the exercise of wbioh endangers
or impairs the common rights of all under the
Union.
Therefore, the rights of a State can never
become paramount. The attempt to make them
so has-resulted, and must ever result, in trea-'
son, rebellion, and anarchy.
'A\Tnoin has an undoubted right to property
in land. One may not open a road across inS
neighbor's farm simply fy his own conven
ience in getting to market. Bat no man can
stay the construction of a railroad, by pleading
his right of property. It having been decided
that the public interest required tbe construc
tion Of the road, the right of the individual is
suspended, and a fair equivalent in money is
paid for the roadway.
The doctrine of paramount State Rights was
begotten in' the slime of demagogisnr. If it
be true, then the Union is a cheat, and the men
who framed it lent themselves to. h, stupendous
fraud upon the American people. We do not
believe they were cheats. We know that the
father ofparamount State Rights was a polit
ical gymnast. Paramount State Bights and a
stable Union can no more subsist in this conn
try than light and darkness can dwell together.
The danger in a republic lies in a weakening
of the cement of society by diffusion’:' We
need consolidation. State lines ought not to.
bound patriotism. The constituent can.never
override the sovereignty of the Whole. And
the man who prates about “ following the for
tunes of tny State,” talks tbe sheerest baby
talk conceivable. It is the wail of a mind that
never got bigh enough fo peep over its cradle,
and so conceives that tbe world is just that
wMe, and no wider.
We have been led to these. reflections by a
perusal of two'Virginia papers, published in
1799, which .contain tbe first address of the
State Rights party in that State. The friend
who procured and sent them to us has placed
us under renewed obligations.
It is hot tbe mark of a candid, right-minded
man to snap at every report and rumor to the
discredit of opponents; and we can but cau
tion rebel sympathizing editors' of the danger
they data when they copy the Washington cor
respondence of such journals as the News and
Day Book, of New York, and the. Age, of Phil
adelphia. The men who furnish, those papers
with Washington newk are unrecognized among
newspaper men; being' of the substratum of
tbe class known as “ Bohemians.” It is one
man's business to chase up and strangle the
outrageous lies concocted by .these literary sau
riane. A few days ago, one of these scaven
gers sent out a story, to the effect that a depu-i
tation from the colored citizens of Washington
waited on President Johnson, and asked tbe
privilege of celebrating the 4th of Only on tbe
grounds adjoining the -White Home; and that
tbe President promptly refused them their re
quest. This absurd tale isnow baring the run
of the rebel papers in the North—being made
„sS* ’

g
the occasion ' for patting' the Pfesidetft dnltbo
back in tbq Way of fulsome eulogy.
The people ought to feel obliged to these-jed
tutor for'this gratuitous exhibit of their—true
| characters. A fool tells them that tbe Presi
i dent has done-a most-illiberal, if not malicious
•deed; and . they strnitwny “ Liyp, tbe
, President 1" They hear of some snubbing of
■_ tbe down-trodden negro, and hug each other in
a delirium of joy. Why is it? Do brave men
, bally the weak ? . Is it not the cowardly lub
ber who is eternally bullying tbe little - boys-at
school ? la it not the sneak who kicks a bro
ken man a little further down the hill?
It is precisely ;this class of actions that these
copperhead editors laud to the skies. True no
bility of character is unknown to their range
of thought/ Do they fear the negro as a com
petitor in the race for name, fame, and posi
tion ? We say to them that they.bare’ reason
to fear him as a competitor in those respects.
Thousands of- them have long since overtaken
and passed these debased slaves of. unreason.
But President Johnson did-, uot
colored'people permission'to'celebrate-the 4th[
"of July in tbe grounds adjoining the White[
House. He granted_lhe_ request ofjhe dgpu-;
tation; and now let us bear fforo you op that,
aspect of tbe case. Let us see tbe “ animals
lunch” off their own words.
Probably most of our readers hare witness
ed - the process of making soap. The prepara-
tions of the Opposition for reorganisation, now
being made in high quarters, is very, like soap
making. The grease and water .being ready,
the quest is now for the friendly alkali which
shall blend the repelling elements in dne'har
monious mass. The, New.. York World,, that
Columbus of Artful Dodgers, has bit upon »
plan of operation, which, points to a larceny of
Union thunder.' ft 1 proposes that the several
organizations composing' the Opposition to the
late-and present Administrations,, to,
American. Knights, the Knights of the Golden
Circle, Sons of Liberty, Illini, Butternuts, and
Southern rebels,—shall accept ‘v the situation"
by giving in to the abolition of slavery under
the Emancipation Proclamation, - advocating
the Constitutional Amendment outlawing the
institution forever, and taking issue with the
advocates of universal suffrage upon that point
alone. This is the substance of the| proposi
tion. I . '
Will these men ever get wisdom by experi
ence, or have they slept during these four
years of war ? If there is one unmistakable
indication of current events, it is that when
order shall be firmly established in the repub
lic, the right of voting will be conferred upon
men with regard to their fitness to ezeroise it,
their proved fidelity to the nation jin its extrem
ity, and without reference to color, nationality,
or other accident. We should like to-see a
party, composed' of- men who have aided and
abetted the rebol. tor fnnr y earn, .mating the
attempt -to deny tbe ballotlto. ..any'man whose
devotion to tjie country has been proved upon
the battle-field. It will require aigreat deal of
cheek; for public sentiment bag-ahead; deci
ded that a loyal black man is fitter to vote than
a w|ii.te sympathizer with rebellion. These
semi-rebel politicians build upon sand when
they count upon-Andrew Johnson’s hostility to
negro suffrage. He has not publicly declared
his views thereupon; but mark—when be does
declare himself, the .hopes of Copperhead pol
iticians, north and south, will vanish into thin
Still, acquiescence in unconditional abolition
is a good step forward. They now stand with
Garrison and Wendell Phillips, substantially.
Two years hence we shall fincUhemin favor of
universal suffrage, and protesting that the
“ Democracy” never change.
The Copperheads of Lancarter county held
their Convention on the 14th inst. The second
of the series of resolutions adopted reads:
Resolved, That to the gallant soldiers of the Re
public, to whom we are indebted under the. blessing
of Providence for the suppression of,the rebellion,
life people owe a lasting debt of gratitude, and the
memory of their nneqnaied toils and sufferings will
be cherished throughout all succeeding generations.
That sounds well. However, it is not six
months since this same party in Lancaster de
nounced the war as a crime, the soldiers as
“ Lincoln’s hirelings,” and characterised the
rebellion a revolution. If the soldiers of old
Lancaster do not punish these political Peck
sniffs ‘'throughout all succeeding generations”
we lose our guess.
. The last resolution was adopted after debate,
and readetb—
Resolved, That the assassination of Presideht'Lin
ooln was a diabolical outrage upon the American peo
ple who had elected him to the high raffies <>f Chief
Magistrate. It was a base and murderous orltbe, and
meets and receives the'-execration qf .every cit-
And that sounds well. But barely half ft
year ago this same party in Lancaster declared
that Mr. Lincoln was not elected by the .people
but by fraud. And we will 'wager something
handsome that a majority of the delegates in
that Convention not only did not denounce the
assassination as a diabolical outrage, at .the
time, but so conducted themselves ns. to lead
their neighbors to believe that they approved it
in their hearts. Do these Pecksniffs forget
that only by means of the diabolism' of, their
party teachings the assassination became -pos
sible ?
The Constitutional Amendment in - Ken
jteokt.—Tbe conviction of the expediency and
and necessity of ratifying the Constitutional
Amendment is, we tbifik, every where gaining
ground in this State. The best and most en
lightened friends of Kentucky are . rapidly
jwheeling into line'snd-potting- their shoulders
jto the wheel to push on the great work of rid
ding tbe State of an incubus and. a nuisance.
Slavery in Kentucky is now neither one thing
nor another. It ie neither fish, nor fowl. Tbe
negroes are just-free enough to be of no-use to
their masters, but not free enough to relieve
their masters of their responsibilities. The
masters, therefore, have all the hardships, but
none of tbe benefits .of the system of slave,
labor.— LoteinUU Journal.

END OF THE BLOCKADE.
Br the President op thb United States or
America.
Whereas, by the Proclamations of the Presi
dent of-the 15th and’27th of April, 1861, a
blockade of certain ports of the United States
was set on foot, but whereas the reason for that
measure have ceased to exist, now, therefore,
be it known that I, Andrew Johnson, President
of the United -States, do hereby declare and
proclaim the blockade aforesaid to be rescinded
as to ail the ports aforesaid, including that of
Galveston and other ports west of the Mississ
ippi River, which ports will be open to foreign
commerce on Hie first of July next on the terms
and conditions set forth in my proclamation of
the 22J of May last. It is to be understood
however, that the-blockade thus rescinded was
an international measure for the purpose of
protecting thg sovereign rights of the 'United
States. The greater or less subversion of the
civil authority in tho region to which it applied,
and the impracticability of at once restoring
that in due efficiency, may for a season make
it advisable to employ the army and navy of
the United States toward carrying the laws into
effect wherever such employment may be nec
essary. '
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my
band and caused .the seal of the United States
-to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington,
this 23d day of June, in the .'year of our Lord
1865, and of the independence of the United
States of America the eighty-ninth. -—t

Beats or. Mrs/ Seward. —The death at
Washington yeetei'aay of Mrs Frances Seward,
wife of the Hon H. Seward, will be
widely, and sincerely mourned as more than a
. family bereavement. Mrs. Seward, born Frances
Miller, daughter of Judge Elijah Miller, one of
the honored pioneers of central New-York, had
attained the age of sixty years, and had filled
for thirty years an exalted position without
once exciting an enmity or alienating a friend,
and without ever meeting one who bad either
the power or the wish' to speak ill of her. In
tellectually gifted and .cultivated far beyond the
average hot merely of her sex bat of her time,
she gave much heed and thought to public
affairs without neglecting or slighting any of
the duties of a beloved, exemplary wife and
mother; and every pulsation of her heart beat
strongly for Justice, Humanity, and Freedom
to All.—dVe«> York Tribune, June 22.
