MONDAY i I MORNING, JULY 13, 1863
Written for the Patriot and Union.
"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

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

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

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

each State were considered the only compe
tent authority to adopt, or reject a, proposed
constitution. 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."

"Very well, madame."
"I will write a note. which you will deliver

amount."
She wrote as follOws :

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.
