"A TEAR.” As alone at thy:lose of the evening I sit, My heart wandering back o'er the past ; What visions d fancy Around me do flit, But fading, tAreal to the last. I view thus ths absent; I think of the dead; kome friendly voles breaks on my ear ; I sigh for the kappiness forever now fled, In ley eye then there gathers a tear. On yonder wide plain, 'Death the shade of the pine, He's sleeping down there where he fell ; As fair as the rose, in her sweet morning prime, 'Twee for Country—he loved her too well. "He died not of sickness, or lingering decay ;" No; there's bloat round the spot o'er his bier; .urke steel of the foeman hes seept•hini away," and mointened our eyes with a tear. Afir where the hills of New England arias, 'heath their shadow a cot may be seen; A itelden is there, but there are tears in her eyes„ ongh yet she is scarcely sixteen. Bu the tale is soon told, for now it is old, . I et we sigh as its sorrow we hear; Hill fell in the tight, defending the right; ?is his memory that claims now a tear, Or yonder sick conch see the gentle one bend, [While bathing the war-weary brow; pitching faint words, to be sent to` a friend; , But hark! of the wife he speaks now : Th more shall I gee her, or my little one bleu; ;Its darkness, all darknees, here ; list give her my love, will yon? Answer; Yes; lAnd there falls on the pillow a tear. Am yonder fair bride, with the wreath on her brow, ; Shies parting from the home of her youth; ger faith it is pledged, and sealed is the vow, Confiding in him for its tenth. • . • Jut the little oars press, and father Is Asti, While mother, she gently draws near ; !•Godfilescitiee, my child," and there fills in each eye The proof of affection r a tear. We find it with beauty, it sparkles in age, ' And sets on the fair brow of youth ; From the Anvil it fell, as man did rebel, And vrandorv4 mtv frim the trwth 'Tie found on the throne, in the poor liumb Is out, In sadness, in sorro*, in fem. ; • In friendship, in hate, in joy, or in love, There sparkles throughout them a tear. G.o. O. TYRRELL STATE RIGHTS AND STATE REMEDIES—No To Be.l Fxeelleney A. G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania: RESPECTED Sin :—The War of Independence was terminated by His Britannic Majesty acknowledging the States united." to be free, sovereign and independent States." But it was ascertained that the Artieles of Confederation were not sufficient in power over foreign (mai merce, &c., and the Congress, after several at tempts. succeeded, on the 21st of February, 1787, in passing the following resolution : • "Resolved. That in the opinion of Congress it is expedient that on the second Monday of May next a convention of delegates, who shall have been appointed by the several States, to be held at Philadelphia, for the sole and expects purpose of revising the Articles of Confedera don, an'd reporting to Congress and the seve ral Legislatures such alterations and provisions therein as shall, when agreed to ifi'Congress and confirmed by the States, render the Federal Constitution adequate to the exigencies of government and the preservation of the Union." • ln conformity with - this resolution twelve States appointed delegates to the convention at Philadelphia in May, 1787, and when they met they unanimously elected General George Washington i'resident of the convention. On the 29th of May, 1787, Mr. Randolph, of Vir ginia, offered thirteen resolutions proposing a national government, a national executive, a national legislature, a national judiciary, national council of revision, with power of rejecting all laws by Sate Legislatures con- travening the articles of Union. May 80th Mr. Randolph moved " that an Union of the States merely Federal will nqt accomplish the object proposed by the Articles of Confederation ;" and Bd, " That a national government ought to be established, consisting of a supreme judicial,. legislative and executive." Now, sir, let us see what became of the word national, &o. On the 20th of June Judge Ellsworth moved to "expunge the word national, and insert in the room of it, government of the United States, which was agreed to nem. eon:" Luther Martin, a delegate fram Maryland, in his report of the proceedings of the convention to the Le stature, giving an account of the c%ntest between the friends of State rights and the consolidationists, says " that the word na gional was struck eut, ke., because viewing it as a national, not afederal government,was calcula ted and designed' not to protect and preserve, but to abolish And annihilate the State govern ments." Here, then, the precise question which is now at issue betwees the friends of State rights and consolidation, was proposed and debited in the convention ant defeated. On the same day Mr. C. Pinckney, of South Carolina, offered his system of a constitution, consisting of sixteen articles, differing very little from those offered by Mr. Eandolph; and on the 16th of June Mr. Patterson, of New Jersey, offered his propositions, consist ing of eleven resolves; and on the 19th of June Mr.-Hamilton offered his plan of govern ment, containing in his third article:, " The Senate to consist of parsons elected to serve during good behaviour. 4. The su preme executive authority of the tlnited States to be vested in a, Governor to be elected .to serve daring good h o havior," ke. 10. "All.laws of the particular States, con trary to the Constitution or laws of the United States to be utterly void ; and the better to prevent such laws being passed, the Governor or President of each State shall be appointed by the general. government and shall have a nega tive upon all laws about to be passed in the State of which be is, governor or President." 11. No State to have any force, land or na val; and the militia of all the States to be un der the ante apt exclusive direction of the United States; the officers of which to be appointed and commissioned by them." Mr. Hamilton supported his plan in a lengthy .speech in , favor of an eleotive mon archy. All tbeefe different plans of a Conan PRICE TWO CENTS. tution were referred on the 26th of Ju1y,1787, to a committee of detail consisting of Messrs. Ruthledge, Randolph, Gorham, Ellsworth and Wilson, "for the purpose of reporting a Con stitution." This committee on the 6th of Au gust reported the first draft of a Constitution. The preamble commenced as follows : "We, the people of the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jer sey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, do ordain, declare and establish the following Constitution, for the government of ourselves and our posterity ;" and by referring to. the Journal of the Convention it will be found that on the 7th of August, the day after it was reported, that in this form the preamble was unanimously adopted by the Convebtion. After a discussion on the provisions of the draft, it does not appear that the preamble was ever brought into view'. A. committee of fire was appointed to 'revise the style of and ar range the articles agreed to by the House." On the 12th of September the committee of revision reported the Constitution as revised in style and arranged by them, in which the pre amble read as follows : “We, the people of the United States, in or. der to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and ofir roalerily, do ordain and estab lish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Let us stop for a moment and learn the rea son for the change by the committee in the phraseology of the preamble by the insertion of the words •'United States," instead of re_ capitulating the names of the' several States as they did in the draft, before it was re ferred to the committee of revision ; and it is apparent enough, and let me ask if that phrase was not the one best adapted to express who were the real framers of the federal govern ment. That it was not formed by the State governments, is very certain ; but by the pee• pie of the several States, in their sovereign capacity. The preamble, too, declares that the object of the Constitution is, amongst other things, to form "a more perfect union," which can only have reference to the Union then ex isting under the Articles of Confederation, which we have shown was a union between sovereign and independent States. And to in fer the annihilation of State sovereignty from the expression, "we, the people of the United States," and degrade them into municipalities, is a specimen of logical legerdemain, to which the assumptions and absurdities of ancient , and modern metaphysics can exhibit no par allel. Let us now follow up our , history and see what was the form of the ratification on the 17th of September, 1787. The Constitution was adopted, and the convention adjourned, transmittieg to the Congress,. still acting under the articles of confederati.t, a report of its proceedings. Who adopted it ? The repre sentatives of the whole people of the United States ? No !it was " done in convention by the unanimous consent of the States present." 'Congress, on the 28th of the same month, passed the following resolution : ; Resolved unanimously, That the said report, with the resolutions and letter accompanying• the same, be transmitted to the several Legis latures, in order to he submitted to a conven tion of delegates chosen in each State by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the convention, made and provided in that case. In conformity to the resolve, the Legislature of each state enacted a law calling a convention of the people thereof, in their separate capacity of a sovereign,, free and independent Sate, and to these contentions was submitted the Con stitution for ratification, and by their conven tions it was ratified ; and so clearly were those ratifications the acts of the States, and not the people as an aggregate mass, that it, was in the power of the five smallest States, contain ing a population of only 622,000 persons, by withholding their assent, to defeat the adoption of the Constitution against the wishes of the other eight States, containing a population of upwards of three millions. These ratifications, executed by the people of each State in their separate and sovereign, capacity, and not by State Legislatures, were in the form and mode prescribed by the seventh article of the Con stitution, which declares " The ratification of the conventions of nine States shall be suf ficient for the establisnment of this Constitu tion between the States, so ratifying the same ;"- and this is apparent from the following pro ceedings extracted from the Journal of the old Congress: • " United States in Congress assembled, " WEDNESDAY, July 2, 1788. g , The State of New Hampshire having rati fied the Constitution transmitted to them by the act of 28th September last, and transmit ted to Congress their ratification, and tae same being read, the President reminded Congress that this was the ninth ratification transmitted and last before them ; whereupon, it was " Ordered, That the ratifications of the Con stitution of the United States, transmitted to Congress, be referred to a Ow witt,e o is examine the sante*-' and report an ant of Congrese for putting the said Constitution into operation, in pursuance of the resolutions of the late Fed eral convention." At a subsequent day, viz: on the lath Sep tember, 1788, the Congress passed a resolution in the following words: fl Medved, That the arse Wednesday in Jan uary neit be the day for appointing electors in the several States, which, before the said day shall have ratified the Constitution, that the first Wednesday in February next be tlle day _ for the electors to assemble in their respective States and vote for a President; and that the first Wednesday in March next be the time and the present seat of COngress the place for com- guBOug proceedings under the said Ponatitn tion." But let the fact be remembered here, that the Constitution was submitted specifically to a convention of the people of each distinct and independent State ; and that it was so rati fied by the common compact oteaohAtate who acoeeded to it; the people in convention in PUBLISHED EVERY MORNING, SUNDAYS ZEOITTAID, BY 0.

In conformity with the above resolution were the elections held on the 4th of March,, 1786. The first Congress under the new Coortitation assembled at New York and commenced its 'duties, and on the 80th of April George Washington, who had been unani mously elected President of the United States, was inducted into office. It shoild not be for gotten that from the ..'l7th of Elepteinber, 1787, when the form of Constitution which the convention had tranetnited to Congress, to be laid before conventions, delegated, by the people of the several States for their assent and ratification, it was very doubtful whether the people in the State Conventions would ratify the same ; because they considered that State rights were not sufficiently reserved and protected. There were sixty-five delegates elected, to the convention, thirty-nine signed, ten never attended and sixteen attended but did not sign. This caused HAMILTON, JAY and MAROON to write the numbers so well known under the title of the "Federalist," and which were written previous to the ten declaratory and restrictive amendments to the Constitu tion so fortunately insisted .on by the States, and Mr. Madison urging the States vto adopt the Constitution, in its 80th No., says: Each State in ratifying the Constitution is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be boynd by ice °ten voluntary act. h this relations, then. the NM Constitution mill, if established, be a Federal, and not a na tional Constitution." See also No. 89. Yet we find that North Carolina did not ratify the Constitution until the 21st of 'November, 1789, and that Rhode Island bad no &legatee in the cevention and did not ratify until the 29th May, 1790—when the amendments to the Constitution were made by the States, in whicn it is declared, "that the powers not delegated to the United States are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The people is a word used as synoni mona with State, for with us a State is the people in convention. The departments of government are all subordinate and derivative. The powers granted are expressly delegated. Now, a right cannot be reserved that did not exist before the reservation, hence it follows that those rights thus‘ reserved to the States must have been rights inherent in the sove reignty of the States, which will be further illustrated as I proceed with these numbers.

THRILLING ADVENTURE WITH A BURGLAR.- This extract!, from a reminiscence venom/lug a aeries of murders committed some yearn since in France, developer a rare instance of pre; siltee of mind in women.. We will premise that the murderer was known by the fact that in some previous brawl or scene of murder he had lost three fingers from one of his hands: There lived on the outskirts of Dieppe a widow lady by the name of Beaumanrice. She had no family, but with one servant girl lived in a very retired manner. The cottage in which she, resided , was situated about half a mile from the city—a little off frpm the public road. Madame Beanmanrice bad been the wife of an officer of the Guards. She was an extraor dinary woman in every particular ; but espe cially so in respect to a certain coolnese of character she possessed, in the miciet of dan ger, which, together With a large amount of moral courage, made ber a very notableiper. son. The recent murders made, perhaps, less impression on her mind than upon any, one else in Dieppe; although it was naturally supposed the retired situation in which she lived would have caused hiir to be more fear ful. About 10 o'clock on the night of the 80th of April, just ten days alter the: murders in the Rue Grenard, Madame Besumaurioe went up into her bedroom. She was suffering from a nervous headache. She felt very sleepy; and seated herself. The lamp was placed On a chest of drawers, behind her. Opposite to her was a toilet table, with a oloth .on it reaching to the floor. She had already commenced taking off her . clothes, when happening to look around her, she saw something that fot a mo ment chilled her blood. It was the shadow of a man's hand on the floor. The hand had only three fingers. She divined the truth in a moment—the as sassin was there—in her house—ander the table. She made not the least motion or sign, but reflected two..or three minutes as to the best course to be pursued. She divined what to do, and'advaneing to the door, called the servant maid. "Oh, Mary l" exclaimed she, when the girl entered the room; "do you know where Mons. Bernard lives ?" "Yes, madame." have to pay 5,000 !ratios away very early in -the morning. YOU 'All have to-run to hie house and get money for me." "Very well, madame." "I will write a note. which you will deliver to him, and he will give you bank bills 'to the amount." She wrote as follOws : MY MAAR Monsinua.Banssitn.—The assas sin of lb° Rue dee Amen and the'Rne Grelard is in my house. Come immediately with some gene d'armes, and take him before.he escapes. HELENNE BRAIIMAURICE. And, without entering into any explanation with her servant, she dispatched her on her errand. She:then quietly re-Belted tereelt and waited.' Yes, she eat in the room with that min tin der the table for a whole hour. She sat there, calm. cool and collected. She saw the shadow • of the hand shift several times, but the.mur darer did not make any attempt to escape frem his place of concealment. In due time the gene d'armes arrived, and Jacques Reynaulds was arrested—not, how ever, without a violent struggle. , 1 need. scarcely add that the most convineing ; proof as to .his guilt was found, and in due time he was guillotined. PYRAMIDS or Ponx:—ln his advance from Port Gibson, General Grant captured two im mense piles of bacon, each covering an area of two thousand five hundred feet, piled a s high sa the branches of the forest trees, and each Oontaining, by estlmate, forty thetigand pounds. The rebels, not expecting 'Grant to advance, had piled up the bacon in the woods, where .our boys when advancing, found it. A person fond of the marvellous told an improbable story, adding, as was hip wont, "Did you ever hear of that before ?"—"No, sir," said the other; "pray did you ?"
