. A Historical Reminiscence.
. Our readers are aware that it isa posta. late, or, if not a postulate, that it is a cor.
. rollary of the so called “State rights’ the.
j} to. DRAFTS ou the Eastern Cities at the Lowest . ory of the Constitution, that the erime of
“rebellion” against the Government of the
. United States is oot predicable of sovereign
__. States. The patrons of this theory bold,
that the several States, as coutradistin_ guished from the people of the United States
‘are the creatore of the central “agency”
. established under the name of the Govern.
ment of the Uvited States, and hance it
++++e.60 ets . Returns made in Bars or Coin, within a few bours. . follows, accordivg to their reasoning, that
. the authority of the States is eo far para/mount'to the autbority of the said “agenoy’’
that in case any one of the former chooses
— . to “resume”? the powers delegated to the . gore
.
‘latter, it bas a right to do so without incur. ring the penalties because not committing
. the crime of “rebellion,”
. We have no disposition to enter into any
‘nice discriminations on thie point of meta. physical politics, ag the logical merite of the .
question have been too repeatedly discussed
jin our columns to call for any further ex. position at our bands, But, as serving to
. show how unbistorical is the assumption on
. which this whole theory proceeds, we pur. pose to recall a single fact io our constitu. tional bistory,
. Itie known to every reader that the
. Convention which first assembled in the
. State of North Carolina to deliberate on
. the adoption of the Constitution framed at
. Philadelphia, iu 1787, adjourned without
. either ratifying or rejecting that instro. ment. Instead of coming to any decision
. on this point, ite members, by a vote of 184
. in the affirmative to 84 in the negative, determined to recommend to all the States the
adoption of a Declaration of Rights and of
twenty-six amendments to be inserted in
the body of the Constitution. Among the
latter was one which very significantly im. plies a belief on the part of the North Car}olina Convention that States, as States,
. could place themselves iv an attitude of rebellion against the Federal authority; for
. the twelfth amendment in the series was
. emeaaPeet in the following terms;
. “Congress shall not declare any State to
. be in rebellion without the consent of at
. least two-toirde of all the members present
. in both Houser.”
As the great distinction between the
morrat.
A French View of Privatecring.
. An elaborate discussion recently toob
. place in the French Academy, on the subject of privateering. Among the speakers
, was Chevallier Walewski, late Boreig.
. Minister of Louis Napoleon, who eaid ;
There is ove point on which I think myself authorized to insist. Privateers are,
. for the most part, manned from the lowest
. dregs of the population, What are we to
. expect from such meu cruising on the high
seas, without control? To what lengths
. may they not go? What is to hinder thew’?
. The sea is so handy, Is there any one on
. board likely to prove troublesome on landing? Poignard him and overboard with
him—the sea tells no secrets. How many
infamies bave thus been committed !
The idva of justifying privateering by the
. pretext that it may furnieh useful service
. to the State is @ daugerous mistake, and
nding it on the plea that good may
come out of it, is, in my view, a Brave
moral error, What matters it that priva. teering bas given rise to a few men of the
type of John Bart or Duguay-Trouio, if it
be in iteelf radically repugnant. to morality?
. Privateersmen have been compared to guerilla bands. The comparivon seems to me
quite unjust—guerilla bauds do not go
. abroad to attack private property or take
the enemy’s pov Besides, if there be
things to admire in guerilla warfare, there
is also much to condemn. You have g})
freeh in your recollection the account of
. the battle of Medelin, by the historian of
. the Consulate and the Empire. The French
army was exasperated, because on the day
. before it had found the corpses of 62 French
chasseurs horribly mutilated. The result
was that the Spaniards were shown no
quarter on the day of battle. And besides,
it was not the guerilla bands that saved
Spain—they do not deserve the credit,
At the outset I spoke of the general barmony of earthly things. I will again invoke it to eay that in virtue of this harmony, privateering bas in our day become
impossible. Formerly these corsairs sailed
crise crafts, which defied pursuit by
. war vessels and even by frigates. They
. had thus every chance to evcape the cruisjers sent oot to take them, With steam

Convention were seeking to guard. But
we cited the language of their amendment
under this bead, for the purpore of showing

yeare bas given such an exaggerated development to the doctrine of State rights.
Go rr, Bostox!—Ralph Waldo Emerson .
lately delivered a lecture on “Boston, the
Hub of the Universe,’’ at the Music Hall of
that city. The Boston papers seem to be
hugely delighted with Mr. Emereon’s favorable notice. The Atlas says:
The results of bis reflections, observation
and judgement are eammed up in this:—
“Boston is appointed, in the destiny of nations, to lead the civilization of North
America.””’ To reach this conclusion be
went into,a long disquisition which involved
. metaphysics, history, climatology, natural
philosophy, chemistry and geometry, He
. quoted the ancients; he quoted the moderne; he quoted the Pilgrim Fathers and
their gloomy accounts of their sufferings
by climate. by vegetation, by fishes, and by
insects, Some of these extracts were quite
fanciful; but, lest any of hie audience
shonid fear that the plagnes complained of
might return again, he assured them that
nature, since then has never, nor never will
indulge in such exasperations, We eympathize with the Sage of Concord iu bis regard for Boston, and bold with bim that “it
is an exceptional city;’”’ that it bas a ‘bis.
tory’’ both instructive and honorable, and
that “it bas been from the first the seat of
humanity.”
Curnvseé Fast Man.—The other night, a
epruice looking Chinaman walked ap to the
ticket office of a circus and laid down a dollar. The ticket seller handed hima pit
ticket and fifty cents, John indignantly
shoved back the change and ticket, and
, proceeded to relieve his overburdened feel.
“What for you gib me
four bitty ticket, eh? Me oo four bitty
man! Foar bitty man allsame dam nigger. Me pay one dollar all same Melican
gentleman.” —[Sac. News,
how alien to the genius of the Constitution .
one of these days the institution of priva. teering will be looked upon as a thing of
. the past.

This naturalor unoatural shaking has

were opened, and still flow, lying in a
northerly direction from the buildings of

. yards only. The stream that fows through
. the farm of Mr, meerer now furnishes a
good supply of water, although it bad been
dry before the shock at least from 8 to 12
. daye. Passiog southward are several small
. streams that have afforded no water for
. three or four weeks, and now furnish plenty.
. It is calculated that adobe buildings will

written ao indignant denial of the letters to
the London Times reporting that the people
of South Carolina desired & monareb to rule
