CONSTITUTIONAL DOCTRINES.

The heresies OF modern politicians, and the
confusion into which they have attempted to
throw the opinions of the old republican guides
and standards, require tina. frequent recurrence
should be made to the writings Of the fathers of the
Republic. We always do this. If we were re-
quIred. then, to give our CREED on Constitution.
al Doctrines, we should do 50 in the words Of
the venerable MADISON.
In his letter to Mr.. E. Everett. dated August
1880, Mr.. Madison gives, as follows, his views
Of the true character Of the Constitution of the
United States.
"Iu order," saws he, ito understand the
true character Of the Constitution of the Un,ted
States, the error. not uncommon. must b. AVOID
ed of viewing it through the medium, either uf a
Consolidated Government" (as Mr.. Med III
in 1921 viewed ny cor Of a Confederated Go
| vernment." <as Mr.. MeDufie in 1855 views it,)
:. whilst it is neither the one nor the other; but
a mixture of both. And having in no model the
simitudes and analoges applicable TO other svs
| tens OF Government, IL must, more than any
other, be its omn Interpreter. according to its
text. and the facts of the case. 1t was formed
BY the States; that is. by The People in each of
TIC ofWeS, dItiHS III theli HISHest soSeFtiSH "a
pacity, aud formed consequently by the same au.
thority which formed the State Constitutions. -
! Being thus derived from the same source as the
Constitution of the States. it has. within each
State. the same authority as the Constitution OF
the State, aud Is as much Constitution. in the
| strict sense OF the term, within its prescribed
| sphere, as the Constitution Of the States are,
within their respective spheres: but with this ob
vious and essential difference, that being com
pact among the States in their highest sovereign
capacity, and constituting The People thereof ONE
PEOPLE for certain purposes. it cannot be alter
ed or annulIed at the will of the States iudiyi-
dually, as the Constitution of State may be at
ITS individual will.
".4nd that dirides the supreme po,Ue,s of
Government bei,Ceen the Government of the
United States and The Government of the iadi
ritual STATES, is stamped on the face OF the in
strument; the powers of war and of taxation,
of commerce and of treaties, and other enume
rated powers vested in the Government of the
United States, being Of ss high and sovereign Il
character. as any of the powers reserved to the
State Governments"

The Rights Of Women. At public meeting
Of the Working Women of Fell's Point. Bati.
more, who are engaged in obtaining livelihood
by the use Of the needle, the following among
other resolutions were adopied:-
"Resolued, That in view Of the very low prl.
ces which We at present are obtaining Tor werk
done by US. and Of the insupPortabe oppression
resulting therefrom, we determine TO strike Tor an
increased rate Of wages.
"ResolUed, That we most strenuousiy advise
and request all those 10 the same avocatlon with
ourselves, throughout the city. to call meetings
Immediately for the purpose OF cooperating with
US in the present attempt to establish such bili
of wages as shall renunerate Us for our labor.
"Resolred, That the more efectually to ac-
complish our purpose, we enter into positive
agreement to take out no work from the shops I'm.
Ill proper rates shall be established.
s'Resolued, That we appont and recommend
that delegates be appointed BY other meetings OF
the Working Women in our line, to meet in
Convention at time aud place to be hereafter de-
sisnated; when Mrs. Jane Keightley, Miss Ann
Bowlin, Mrs Frances Dennis. Mrs. Ann Van
Roosan. and Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards. we're du-
ly appointed delegates from this meeting"
Shocking Afair. Seldom has it fallen to our
lot to record the death Of a fellow man in this
place by violence of any sort. With all the large
population Of Monroe, and Rochester its chief
town, capital punishment has never yet been
demanded by the laws within the limits Of our
| county.
An occurrence Of shocking nature, howev-
er, has just taken place. Russell Dickerson, a
respec table inhabiant of the town Of Greece, ex-
PRED on Wednesday night, Sept IL, under cir
cumstances which led to an inquest over his
corpse-the verdict in the case being stated TO
US by Col Riley the Coroner. that :. the said
Dickerson came to his death from blows and
hurts inflicted by Washington A Norton, on the
afternoon of Sept: 10th, 1885,"
The circumstances, we learn, were nearly
thus;-Snme disturbance occurring in a Grocery
between Norton and other persons, the store
keeper requested Dickerson (who was constable
of the town Of Greece) to aid in preserving peace.
cerned, of his duty as peace officer to preserve
tranquility. He was assaulted by Norton, and in
the course OF the fray received some injuries of
the Intestlnes, which resulted in his death on
the following night.
Norton. who had previously been held to bail.
fled few hours before Dickerson's death; and
we learn that sheriff Parsons has despatched seve.
raj constabes in pursuit of the fugitive, for whose
apprehension a suitable reward is offered. II is
understood that Norton proceeded towards Gov
ington, Genessee county, where he has relatives
living hence he probably continued on towards
pennsylvania where he resided for some time
last year. though usually resident Of Rochester.
He is a stout man. feet inches high, full
and h"rId cOuntenance, and is about 26 years OF

THE DEPOSITESi

Rumors are rife this morning. that on Satur.
day last.-the close of a stormy week in the
PaIace-the Kitchen Cabinet. prevailed, and that
the deposites are forthwith to be removed from
the Bank of the United States. We saw YES.
terday that the Jackson stock jobbers were in
trouble-that their contracts were about expr.
ing-by the throes of their press. The Standard
journal of these patriots, even veBtured so far
as to threaten the President in the following
terms.-
elf Andrew Jackson suffers any members of
his cabinet 10 trick the American people out of
their most just claims for the removal Of the de-
posites Immediately. after all that has been done
and said; he will forfeit their confidence and res.
poet, and he riH bring on that cabinet a storm.
q indignation and adherence. such as a min.
isty hare nerer get endured IN this country.
Last evening we were directly, and correct
ly, informed, that a Trojan office holder-a sub.
member of the Albany Regency, came on by
yesterdays conveyance, from Washington, with
positive information upon this subject lie
stated that he knew the deposites were to be re.
moved, torthwiih-or, rather, that the places of
Deposite were TO be changed. The Public mo-.
MES already in deposte, he said. were not to be re-
moved. but only TO be drawn out as the exisences
Of the government required; but all future de.
posites were to be made in the local banks.
The Southern papers, however, received this
morning-even the Globe of Yesterday con.
tain no intimation Of any such decision, although
other advices had named Saturday as the time on
which the determination was arrived at.
But notwithstanding the silence Of the papers
Wall street was thrown into ferment by the
postscript Of letter, from a Bank Director in
Philadelphia, written yesterday. and posted up.
on the Journal of Commerce Bulletin, stating it
as matter we'll understood, that the Deposites
were now to be removed Immediately iufor.
meantime, however, We are authorized to
say that the officers Of the Bank in this CITY.
nave not received word of Information upon the
SUBJECT to-day. They are incredulous of the re.
