/ State Rights Men, Attend!
WecaiI upon every lSdlliierand secsssoinist--
every man who believes that the States Of this
Union have right, who believes that Zach State
has, in fact, the same Individuality, sovereignty
i and Independence under the Federal Constitution
that ii had before it's adoption--who believes that
the Federal Constitution IS in lie nature but q
league between sovereign and independent COM
munities, in like manner with any league that has
ever been formed between any Of the European
lkingdoms read, and judge for himself BY the
following language, whether democracy does not
contemplate and advocate genuine e0nsOlidation:
seIhe government Of the United States has now
been administered for more than Fifty years, with
one short interval, under the guidance Of rePubli-
can rulers, and surely nobleT spectacle Of moral
| grandueF was never exhibited BY any people.
we have passed iii this, swars, pestilence and ta-
mine; We have brayed THE FIERCE RESOLVE
IOF INSURRECTIONARY TUMULIS; we
have passed all the tribulafions of nation under
the protecting shield Of Democracy, and yet lind
ourselves ss before, ONE PE0FlE, ONE ~ ~,

FOND OF OUR LIBERTIES.
Democracy contends that we want no more go

sable to secure to oil men their rights and inaee
Ipendence 10 keep the strong from depressing the
weak, to enforce that natural Justice between
man and man which even instinct inculcates.

The foregoingis extracted from the editorial Of
the last number Of the Estate Rights and Demo-
cratic Unions The whole article is written in
the elegant, able and emphatic manner which
really distinguishes the pen Of our brother Of the
Democratic Union. He Is man Of accomplished
education, and understands thoroughly the prin-
cples Of his beloved democratic cause. He Is also
the organ of the party, in this rsgiOn-and is 70
be relied on in regard to the correctness of his
position Of Democratic Politics. It is needless to
comment at length upon the foregoing extract
the language printed in capitals speaks more
strongly than we could, the democratic senti-
ments Of the party's organ. Theianguage which
is printed in italie does not fairly qualify, as some
might at fret suppose, the proceeding emphatic
oppositionto and denial ST State sovereignty, but
obviously tells us that each State became meme
Der Of the Union, not the more efectually to de-
fend itseg in particular against foreign aggres-
sion, but to form one mighty nation among the
nations Of the world, and TO achieve the "com-
mon defence and general welfare or the whole"
what too can be referred 10 By the assertion
thai, sswe have braved the fierce resolve Of insuT-
rectionary but the fact that many Of the
States have. 81 various times, asserted their soveF
eighty and independence, and lifted the hand Of
sovereign resistance against the usurpation Of The
Federal Government Reflect well On this, al ye
advocates Of States Rights.

But democracy contempIates and desires some
Thing more than consolidation and the snbyeFsion
Of State sovereignty As there is but one step
