State Rights.

The following is extracted from speech de-
livered by JOHN RANDOLPH, in reply to PATRICK
HENRY, on the subject of State rights. 1t may
be found in the first volume of Garland's recent
Life of RANDOLPH. 1t must be recolected that
the speech from which this is an extract, was de-
livered rs far back as 1900:
'"Should the federal government, therefore,
ntempt to exercise powers that do belong to il
and those that do belong to il are few, specified,
well-deined-all others being reserved to the
people and TO the States-should il step beyond
its province, and encroach on rights that have
not been delegated, it is the duty of the States
to interpose. There is no other power that can
interpose.' The counterweight, the opposing
force of the State, is the only check TO over-act
known to the system.
ia questions of nieun Ell hum, where rights
Of property are concerned, and some other cases
specified in the Constitution, grant you that
the federal judiciary may pronounce on the val
idity of the law. But in questions involving
the right to power, whether this or that power
has been delegated or reserved, they cannot and
ought not to be the arbiter; that question has
been left, as it always was, and Away must be
left to be determined among sovereignties in
the best way they can. Political wisdom has
not yet discovered any infallible mathematical
rule, by which TO determine the assumption OF
power between those who know no other law
or limitation save that imposed upon them by
their own consent, and which they can abrogate
at pleasure. Pray let me ask the gentleman,
and no one knows better than himself-who or
dained this Constitution Who defined its pow
ers, and said, thus far shalt thou 90, but no
J farther! Was il not the people Of the States
in their sovereign capacity Did they commit
an act Of suicide by so doing Ian act Of self.
humiliation? No, thank God, they did not but
are still alive, and, trust, are becoming sensi-
bic Of that importance Of those rights reserved
TO them and prohibited to that government which
they ordained for their common defence. Shall
the creature Of the States be sole judge Of the
legality or constitutionaity Of its own acts, in a
question Of power between them and that States
Shall they who assert right, be the sole Judges
of their authority 10 claim and exercise itl Does
not all power seek to enlarge f!-grow on
that il feeds upon? Has not that been the his
tory Of all enchroachment, all its departments
then, is TO be the sole judge Of its own usurpa.
tons, neither the people nor the States in shor
time, will have any thing TO contend for; and
this creature Of their making will become theiI
sovereign, and the only result of the labors Of
our revolutionary heroes, in which patriotic band
this venerable gentleman was most conspicuous
will have been change of our masters-New
England for Old England; for which change
cannot find il in my heart TO thank them"

ORIENTAL TRADITION CONCERNING ADAMS
BURIAL.-The following curious paragraph we
quote from the first volume Of Southey's Com
mon Place Book:
at is a most contest tradition among the
Eastern men, that Adam was commanded by
God (and left the same in charge TO his posterity)
that his dead body should be Kept above ground
till the fullness of time should come TO commit
to the middle of The earth by priest of the
most High God For Adam prophescd this
reason for IL, that there should be the Redeemer
Of him and all his posterity. The priest who
was TO offciate at this funeral, they say, was
Melchesedec, and that he buried this body at
Salem, which might very well be the middle Of
the habitable world as then. Therefore (as
they say) this body Of Adam was embalmed
and transmitted from father TO son by reyer-
end and religious way Of conveyance, till at last
il was delivered up by Lamech into thehands Of
Noah, who being well advised Of that fashion
Of the old world, which was to worship God to-
ward a certain place, and considering with him
self that this could not be towards the right,
(which was the East under the Inconsistency and
inconvenience Of ship, appointed the middle OF
the ark for the place Of prayer, and made il as
holy as he could by the reverend presence OF
Adams body. Towards this place, therefore, the
prayer was said, not as terminating any the least
moment Of divine worship 10 the body, Qt were
a stupid thing to think so,) but where it ought
to be, and when it ought to be, and where all
do, or shall do, in God himself, and only him,
as the very tradition distinctly cleareth the case

The rammany Society.


We recorded the triumph Of the Banburners
the other day, in getting possession Of Tam
many Hall, the headquarters Of the New York
Democracy.
AS the organization Of the Society IL very Gu
rious, and few persons acquainted with IL We
transfer the following particulars from the New
York Evening Posi-, to our columns:
aFor the information Of such Of our readers as
may wish to know something more OF the his
tory a,d character Of this Tammany Society,
we may here add, that il was organized In 1889
by William Mooney, an upholsterer, with num-
Der Of other citizens Of New York, for the pur.
pose of opposing the Constitution Of the United
States, (Which had then recently been adopted
on account OF what were esteemed It's federal
and aristocratic tendencies.
The institution took its name from the cele-
bsated Indian Chief Tammany, and all its ce-e.
monial nomenclature is adopted from the habits
and customs of the aborgines. Ii has a Grand
Sachem, and twelve additional Sachems, after
the fashion of the President and Governors Of the
tnirteen States then in existence. Il has Grand
Council, of which all the officers and Sachems
are members which is presided over by Father
Of the Council, and the proceedings Of which
are recorded by Scribe. The society dates
all its transactions from two eras, the discovery
of America by Columbus, and its own founda-
ton. L. divides the year into seasons-the sen.
son of snow, the season Of blossoms, and the
season OF fruits. The 18th day of May Is CON-
memorated as its anniversary.
It was the first society ever organized in the
country for the defence of State rights; and one
of the oaths which its members are required TO
take is, that they will sustain State institutions,
and resist consolidation Of power in the hands
Of the general government AT first it was not
political organization, and it was so popular
that most persons of any note or merit belonged
to it, and its anniversaries were celebrated AZ
holydays. But when President Washington
rebuked 'self.created societies. from an appre-
hension that their ultimate tendency was hostile
to public tranquility, many forsook it, and at one
of its anniversaries only three persons were in
attendance. But Mr.. Mooney was one of the
three. From this time it leagued its destiny with
the fortunes of Thomas Jefferson.
The adoption of the several amendments
which were made to the Constitution, through
the influence of Jefferson and Madison, recon.
ciled the society to that instrument, and from
that time forth they We're, or professed to be,
apostles of the decentralizing policy; which has
always been, and still is, advocated by the doc
trinaires of the Democratic party, and of which
Mr. Jefferson was, in his day, the most promi.
nent exponent.
Since those days, however, the influence Of
the society has very much diminished. II con-
trolls the disposition of Tammany Hall and that,
we believe constitutes the chief, if not the only
element of its strength and perpetuity. We
have only to add, that the proceedings of the
society are secret"

MoRE ARRESTS IN McHGAN.-The Detroit
Advertiser says that six more individuals have
been arrested rs part Of the gang of conspi-
rators who have 80 long infested that section OF
country.-Tbe following are their names; James
Gould, Benz. Gleason, Miles Barker, Of Jackson
John w. Walsh, Abner Grant, Of Michigan
Centre; David I,ouck, Of Napoleon. One OF
the parties arrested was taken with n musket
upon his shoulder, while acting as sentry at the
door Of the State prison.
In reference to these arrests the Advertiser
says:
ct Is a source Of rejoicing to all friends OF
good order, that public attention is now seriously
and earnestly directed towards roofing out the
large and desperate class Of evil-doers who have
90 long hung upon her borders, and infested her
midst and that 30 strong grounds are now given
10 hope that blow may be struck at the root OF
thi. wide spread evil, whirh shall be fatal and
conclusive. Many causes have tended TO over.

prominent Of which are is position upon a for.

THE MIGRATORY Hairs AND PLACES or RE-
SORT OF THE WHALE is the subject Of long
communication from Lieut.. Maury Of the Ma
tional Observa DRY, which appears in the WASH
ington Republic of Wednesday. The commu-
nication is accompanied with chart to show
when and where our whalemen have searched
for whales; when and where they have found
them; with what abundance; and whether in
schools or alone. The note of Lieut. M con-
tains the following conjecture:

This interesting piece of circumstantial evil
dence in favor of passage there, was called 10
the notice of Lieut.. De Haven, when he left this
Office to take command of the expedition in
search Of Sir John Franklin and lis compinions.
So much was that enterprising officer impressed
with the importance Of this suggestion, and the
considerations growing out of it, that he ex.
pressed the intention, after reaching the Arctic
sea, to observe closely the habits of the whale,
and should these fish be observed TO take a
westwardly course, TO use them as pilots by the
