''Ehc Unierrificd Dem Ocracy.o

Amid the endless Jargon, that supplies
the place of reason and argument to the
Democratic party, we very often hear or
see the words, we have quoted. They
round off the periods Of their speakers, and
swell out the paragraphs of their writers-
What do they import What merit is
there in not being terrified, when there is
no danger? Do they feel the application
of, and seek to defend themselves against
the sacred adage, ''the wicked fee when
no man pursue,hl" Why should "thc De
mocracy" be terrified! Who has sought
to tcrrify Internationally what means,
and whercforc7
In the days of the Dorr rebellion, it was
said that his untcrrifed followers, a short
time before their heroic flight and surren-
dcr--organized themselves in to a meeting,
after the manner of "thc Democracy" and
resolrcd, that they were not at all alarmed.
1t was desperate attempt to bolster up
thor waning courage, but it failed. Is it
for like reason that "ihc Democracy" so
often assures itselfof its own courage? 1t
is very evident, we think, that if they are
not terrified, they have some secret fear
that they may become so. else why so often
give the watchman's cry.
We'll, we trust they will continue TO de-
light themselves with Tho fLouol,, H.,
they arc "unterrifed." 1t must be great
comfort to them. 1t is an innocent sort of
pabulum,on which Democracy may feed it
self in the absence of more solid diet The
true principles Of government don't agree
with it-rcason and logic are iudiges,ible.
but on words that have no meaning or
substance, Democracy doth fa,,cn, as harcs

1t viii be seen that Hamilton informed
Madison, thcn member Of the Federal
Congress sitting in the city New York,
that il was seriously proposed, in the New
York Convention to raiily with the mr.
sERVATION or 4 RIGHT TO RECEDE, 1t such
amendments as were desired should moi
be decided upon within certain number
years. Madison replied at once that, in
his opinion, such ratification would be "a
CONDITIONAL RATIFICATION" and would
not MAKE NEW YoRK MEMBER or THE
UNION" and that "THE CONSTITUTION RE.
CURED AN ADOPTION IN TOTO AND FonEy.

over, that 1.-THE IDEA OF REsERvING RIGHT

which sat in June, 17Ss AND CONSIDERED

High as Mr.. Madisop's authority is in all
matters of constitutional Interpretation. his
correspondence with Hamilton, is not chief
ly important as making known his individ-
ual opinion on the question of the right of
State TO withdraw from the Union. It's
great value consists in the historical Jacfs
of which it is the unimpeachablc record -
1t testifes TO the nation, for all time, that
the States entered the Union with an ex-
plicit understanding that the act was ir-
revocable except by the progress of rcvo-
luton. II ccrtifes that in Virginia rariicu-
larly, where the opposition 10 the consitu
ton was most powerful, the scheme Of re-
serving. as condition Of ratification, that
very right, which South Carolina now as.
scrts without such reservation, was started
and abandoned. OF this important fact,
we had not before been advised; but we
were well aware that, IN the Virginia Con
vcniion, the great. contest between the
friends Of the Constitution and its oppo-
nen.s, was upon the question Of PREVIOUS
OR SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS. Patrick
Henry and George Mason at The head Of
the opposition strained all their energies to
procure decision for previous amend
rncuts. The whole scope of their argn-
mcnts was to show that the proposed con
stltuiion, would erect great consolidated
government, the acceptance OF which Vir-
gina cold never recall, and which, there
fore, she ought only to accept UPON
CONDITION Of obtaining such notifications

Marshall, Pcndlcton, and Nicholas, on the
other hand, commended that the State should
