| mere suspension Of the South Carolina Ordi-

maintain the attitude ofresistence-prepared
and pledged to strike, il compliance with their
dictates should NOT happen within term
prescribed by themselves. II the government
and people give any heed to the ofiicious aud
anomalous "medistion" Of Virginia, they
will, doubtless, consider it as abortive. unless
total repeal Of the Ordinance be procured.
III the whole scheme Of Modification be not
at once renowned, the People of the Union
(includng. perhaps, Virginia herself and e
ven South Carolina,) the administration at
Washington, and the members of the next
Congress, will be prepared still more gen
orally and positively to refuse any modifica-
ton Of the Tariff. as inconsistent with the
preservation of the supremacy, that's, Of the
permanence itself, of the Union.
Notification must become more and more
striking and odious in its dcformity, and its
champions more ridiculous in the CONTRAST be-
tween their buster and threats or one hand
and their real weakness and poverty of re-
sources on the other. In the interval between
the end Of the present and the beginning of
the next session Of Congress, the cause Of
the Constitution and the general government
will certainly acquire strength. Time for
reflection is needed chiefly south Of the Po-
towmac; it will operate their against Nulli6-
cation; several of the members Of Congress
from that quarter, who now attempt TO pro-
tect the heresy, misrepresent their constitu-
ents. They, or their successors, will under
stand their situation and duty better by what
they will hear and see at home. The whole
country and the national councils will, in ad
dition, be more deeply sensible of what is due
to the Union party 10 South Carolina. whose
rights and merits the legislature Of Virginia
seem to have forgotten in their recent pro-
ceedings.-JNat. Gazette

MONTPELIER, May 9th, 1890.
You have succeeded better in your inter-
probation of the Virginia proceedings in u.s.
80, than those who have seen in them a
coincidence with the nullifying doctrine so
called. This doctrine, new to me, as it was
| to you, derives no support from the best CO.
temporary elucidations Of those proceedings
the debates on the resolutions-the address
of the Legislature to its constituents; and the
scope ofthe objections made by the Legisla-
lures of other States, whose concurrence was
invited and refused.
The error in the late comments on the
Virginia proceedings has arisen from fail,
ure to distinguish between the right OF par
ties, and ola single party; and between re.
sorts within the purview Of the Constitution,
and the ultmaratio which appeals from
Constitution conceded by IFS abuses, to orig
inal rights, paramount TO all Constitutions.

The difficulties heretofore standing in the
way of this measure arose from the existence
Of certain rights vested in, Messrs. Yates and

The JEws.-It has been customary in all
Christian nations to regard and treat this un-
fortunate people as bad citizens This is an
unworthy and unfounded prejudice. In the
recent seige Of Antwerp, the gallant defence
Of Fort st. Laurent was made by the 10th
Dutch Regiment, composed chiefly the Jews.

A great number of religious Jews in Po-
land are making preparations 10 visit Jerusa-
lem, In belief that the time predicted - their
Prophets mad nearly arrived in which they
shall be restored to the possession Of that
country. The Jews generally are watching
the movements Of the Egyptian army with
great eagerness, in the belief that some ar.
engagements will be made which will enable
them to return to Judea, and this belief has
led actual associations in Poland.
MAMMOTH Boy Mr. Jonathan Francis,
living in Eagle township, Hooking county,
(Ohio) has a son that weighed, in the fore

IIME.-Time may be considered as
the medium in which all earthly trans.
actions are doue, and yet this medium
stands within another, called eternity.-
An image which would give an idea of
time and eternity may be found in
cloud floating through an abounded and
unobscured atmosphere. The cloud is
time, completely surrounded and embo-
somed by the unchanging element around
it. Whatever is done in the cloud is al
so done in the bounds of the atmosphere.
The cloud is rolled together like a scroll;
