ackno 'ledge and enforce the principles of
our ancestors of the revolution, ''ihat all
men are created equal; that they are
endowed, by their Creator, with certain
nalenable rights; that among these are
life, liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness.
That TO secure these rights, governments
arc instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent Of the gov
erned; that whenever any form of gov
ernmCnt becomes destructive Of these
ends, il is the right Of the people TO alter
or TO abolish it, and 10 institute new
government, laying its foundation on such
principles, and organizing IFS powers in
such form. as to them shall seem most

nouRced by the federal press as "insur,

charter given by king Charles II, Of Eng.
land, the power To alter nr amend il, was
reserved TO the king. After the revolution
this power Of the king ceased and was
vested in the people Of the State, with
whom the Gounstiiution Of the United
Stutcs lodges the sovereignty. In the
language of the Globe--"rhe power Of
altering and changing the system stood
exactly on the tho same fnotin. with the

Whilst colony, this power was ia the
crown Of Great Britain. When a repnb.
lie, il vested in all the people generally
in those who had no right to vote under
the practical system Of government, as
well as those who had. lfthese views nre
correct, is it not obvious that any altera'
tion of the organic law Of the State, made
by clear majority of tho people Of that

MIR. Wisc-who it seems was arrested,
under warrent charging, not an actual
breach Of the peace, hut That "there was
probable cause to believe that no twas
about TO commit a breach Of tho peace" :"
The single puint urged by Mr.. Wise
and his counsel Mr.. Hunter of Va, und
Mr.. Gondo OF Ohio, was his privilege
from arrest as a member Of Congress, ,ex.
cept for an actual breach of tho ponce
and the question was argued on both
sides with greas ability, involving the
whole subject Of parliamentary privilege
as understood in England and this Coun.
try. Tho result, rs has been all heady sta
ted, was that Mr., Wise was bound in tho
penalty Of $4,000, to keep tho poaco, for
tho space Of ono year, towards all citi.

not, at within that period, to leave
the District with the intention or purpose
Of fighting duel with Stanly--and half
