Recurring to First Principles.
PERSON.
In the life, writings and opinions of Jeffer
son, in a letter to Cot. E. Carrington. He says :
"I am pursnaded myself that the good sense
of the people will always be Patina to be the
beat army. They may be led astray for a mo
ment, but will soon correct themselves. The
people are the only censors of their governors;
and even their errors will tend to keep these
to the true principles of their institution. To
punish these errors_ too severely, would be to
suppress the only safeguard of the public lib
erty. The way to prevent these irregular in
terpositions of the people, is to give them full,
information of their affairs, through the chan
nel of the public papers, and contrive that
these papers should penetrate the whole mass
of the people. The basis of our governments
being the, opinion of the people, the very first
object should be to keep that right; and were
it left to me to decide, whether we should have
a government without newspapers, or news
papers without a government, I should not hesi
tate a moment to prefer the latter." * * *
This shows how our Government was under.
stood by one who largely influenced its forma
tion. lie understood that the people were sov
ereign, and the Administration their agents to
carry out their will; that the people were the
0tna451% of tho acts of their temporary
rulers, and that the continuance of our repub
lican form of government depended upon the
fullest exercise of this sight; that the opinions
of the people could only be kept in a healthy
channel by giving them the fullest information
of all public affairs through the press.
Let us contrast this with the ads and opin
ions of the party that now dominates in our
distracted country.
According to their doctrine, Abraham Lin.
coin is sovereign, and not the people. The peo
ple are not to be trusted with a knowledge of
public affairs, nor act as censors of their gov
ernors, but must "give an unquestioned &Lip
pert" to every act of the .Administration, no
matter what may be its character. The people
must look to the prooltuoitione of Abraham
Lincoln for their rules of action and not to the
Constitution and laws they have ordained.
Neither the public press nor the individual
must discuss public affairs, lest some might
differ with the present wise Administration,
and thereby weaken its power. should any
dare to question the legality or justice of any
act of Abraham Lincoln, they must , at once be
condemned as traitors, and banished, or Con
fined in some Federal bastilit until the close
of the War, in order "to gave the life of the
Nation."
Freemen of Pennsylvania, ponder these
things. In October next you will be called
upon to decide whether the goieinment is to
be administered idthe future under the arbi
trary and despotic rules laid down by the ad
ministration, or according to the Democratic
principles . of Washington and Jefferson as em
bodied in our written constitutions and laws.
Think of these things. Shall the people rule,
or are we to be lorded over by despotic usur
pers?• Shall our government be administered
" by the consent of the governed" or depend
upon the will of a tyrant? Shall our lives
and property, our persons and liberties, be
subject to the caprice of our rulers, or shall
we still live freemen? Shill we tamely give
up our birthright of freedom to fanaticism and
force, or shall we continue to battle strongly
for liberty and law ? Are we tired of a form
of government under which we were peaceful
and happy, and as a Nation have growb pros
perous and great? Is it wise to leaie the old
and safe landmarks, to rush into the
sea of untried experiments ? Are you Wiping
to give up without a struggle those God given
rights to secure which all true patriots have
battled for centuries past, and for which
your heroic !mestere fought and bled and died
in the days of the revolution? Are you wil
ling to become slaves ?
These are questions, fellow-citizens, which
each individual should seriously ask himself
before depositing his ballot in October next,
for upon that issue depends the future destiny
of our country. Should fanaticism and force
be sustained by the suffrages of an unthinking
people, liberty and law must inevitably die.
State Sovereignty.
The New York Journal of commerce, a paper
to which we have been much indebted for val
uable articles on science, arts and' politics,
never contributed a sounder composition than
the following:—There is a very great error in
the minds of those persons wit° imagine that
the doctrine of State !sovereignty is opposed to
that of Federal supremacy under the Consti
tution. It is true that some enthusiastic men
have carried the doctrine to extremes, but the
fathers regarded it as the grand support of the
Union, and, rightly understood; it is unques
tionably the only true foundation of our na
tional strength. It is possible that the United
States may cease to exist. God forbid. That
possibility neverthelese etiete. But the die
appearance of the United States froM the roll
of nations would not cause the disappearance
of the little State of Rhode Island, nor the
great State of New York. Here is visible the
simplest and clearest illustration of the doc
trine. The sovereignty of the State does not
give it any right antagonistic to the constitu
tional powers of the United States. Those
powers are founded on State sovereignty. The
very existence of the States, as independent
governments, equal in dignity to any options
of the earth, enabled them to grant to the
United States the irrevocable powers which
are wielded by the general , government. We
say "irrevocable," . and here is where some
men have gone astray on the State rights doe
trine. Here was the error which the New
York Tribune and the seceding States made
when they argued that the people had a right,
like that asserted in the Declaration of inde
pendence, to secede and establish a govern
ment which suited them. No such right ex-
Wed, because the powers granted by the,
Constitution were irrevocable. Irrevocable in
terms, irrevocable because Wary would be
dolts to others by recalling them.
Nevertheless in other powers, not granted,
the sovereignty of the State remains inviola
ble. For example, in certain cases a State
may . mako war. The State then has all the
wpr making and war suptsinieg islwe Of lb
kingdom or an , empire. This is indisputable
and by examining such a right
.as this, men
will see clearly the doctrine of State sover
eignty. It ought to be more studied and bet- .
ter understood, since it is fundamental in the .
American system. It Is folly to imagine a
republic covering territory on two oceans, and
extending from Arctic to torrid regions, under
one central government. It connot exist. The
beautiful system of States •regulating local
questions of law, and general government reg
ulating matters of public and universal con
cern, is the result of our fathers' wisdom, and
admits of the extension of the republic to all
parts of the world. The human race have an
interest in such a government. • But in a cen
tral administration, claiming and exercising
absolute power as the temporary gift of a pop
ular vote, the race have no interest, since it
moat become either a weak and powerless gov
ernment, or that worst of deepotiems, the tyr
anny of a radical democracy.

THE DRAFT IN NEW YORK.,
LETTER FROM GOVERNOR BETMOIIR--.REPLY OF
PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
WASHINGTON, August 9.—Gov. Seymour, un
der date of Albany fid, writes to the President in
relation to the draft in New York and Brook
lyn. He condemns the provost marshal for
commencing the draft without consultation with
the city or State officers, at a time when the
militia was absent at the seat of war, and while
there were not even soldiers enough in New
York to man the fortifications in the harbor.
The governor complains of the unfairness of
the enrollment, and thinks that in this lottery
for human life, as he terms it, there should be
a strict impartiality. In the rural districts
the draft had been executed with justice, and
the conscripts accepted their fate without mur
muring, and sometimes joyfully. In the dis
tricts of New York city, however, with a pop ,
ulation much less, the number to be drafted is
in some cases double that in the former. The
attack upon the enrolling officers, which sub
sequently grew into the most destruotive riot
known in the history of the country,.he
pounces unjustifiable. Speaking further of the
riots in New York, he says the dieregard for
law and the disrespect for judicial tribnnals
produced their natural results. Robbery . and
arson, accompanied by murderous outrages
upon a helpless race, and for the time the very
existence of the commercial metropolis of our
country wee threatened_ It is gratifyingihat
the citizens of New York were able without
material aid from the State or Union to put
down this dangerous insurrection, for at the
time the nation had not the means to protect
its own arsenals and navy yard. A thousand
men could,have sifted them all, and then used
their armaments for .the destruction of the
shipping and the city itself, to say nothing of
the vessels which at that time were engaged in
burning our merchant ships almost within
sight of our coast. The governor also com
plains that no credit has been given to the city
for the number of volunteers sent, and the
noble exertions of the militia in times of peril.
He, therefore, asks for a suspension at least of
the draft till its constitutionally is tested.
The President in reply, under date of August
7, says that he cannot suspend the draft in
New York, iciecause time is tQQ important. He
admits the disparity. of the quotas in the differ
ent sections, and accounts for it by the - fact
that so many more persons fit for soldiers are
in the city than in the country, rite have too
recently arrived from Europe to be included in
the emus of 1860.. Still he would ,not con,
eider that reason sufficient. He would direct
the draft to proceed, drawing only the, average
quota of all the districts. After thus drawing,
the city districts could be carefully re-enrolled,
and the Governor's agents might witness every
step of the process. Due credit will be given
for all volunteers. The President would' not
otject to abide the decision of the Supreme
Court. He would tie willing to facilitate it,
bat could not consent to loselime.

that Lee, at Culpepper; is as safe as ever. Gen.
Grant's campaign hale most brilliant, but will

THE POLISH QUESTION.
It is rumored that the Emperor vlsTapoleon
has made up his mind to make war in behalf
of Poland alone.
The Times' city article says that the panic
en the Stock Exchange has apparently received
a sudden check, and in some speculative secu
rities a strong rebound took place on the 29th..
Advices from Paris indicate considerable sub
sidence of the war Filmic there. Letters from
Frankfort say that the money and stock mar
kets in that city are steady, owing to the be
lief that the Polish question will be settled by
diplomacy.
The Paris corresponeent of the Times also
notices the pacific tone of a particular Paris
journal, which seeks to refute the arguments
of the war party. It observes : "If the jour
nalist has got his hints from the same quarter
whence he has so often sought them, we may
conclude that the Emperor does not now mean
to make war for Poland, unless joined by Eng
land and Austria.
La France strongly urges the ueceosity for
unity of the three Powers, and says the latest
