Mr.. FIsHER-sTATE RIGHTS.

We heard a sensible old gentleman re-
mark the other day, in a public meeting in
Mr., Fishers district, tAat he was struck
with one very strong difference between
Mr.. Fishers professions and acts. He
had carefully read Mr.. Fishers speech in
Congress upon the New Jersey contested
election case, wherein he made professions
of the deepest devotion to the doctrine OF
State Rights. In the face Of these profess
sions, the old gentleman remarked, Mr..
Fisher had voted, in hi. place in Congress
against the legally recognised right Of a
State to make and enforce It's own rules Il
govern the election Of its representative,
which was far from being the most in.
considerable Of the rights Of the States.
