tfsitaIh doom, and wopid aufier the most cruel
sxxaeons Hnd GRADING expressions OF govern
manA before they would strike the first blow for
freedom. Slaves 81 n rebel against their masters,
and the down tr0ddsn serfs Of Europe against
their tyrants The right Of revolution is only
the right OF the inferior to rebel against the au-
thority Of the superior. In our government, the
State rights party hold that tie people of the
several States are the sovereigns or masters
the oflicsholders their servants, and the govern
msnt their agent. But it belongs TO the federal
code Of politics to teaci, and the leaders Of the
Union party are ayailing themselves of the APP
preparation OF it, that the federal government is
either supreme, and the great depository of the
sovereignty OF this nation, or that the people can
rebel against themselves. A gentleman who
voted for the Union party last fall, in speaking
lately OF the right of secession, remarked that
II tho right Of revolution was all that our ances.
tors achieved for US, he thought that there was
some necessity for second revoluton--that the
first only effected a change Of masters---the Sc
cond should establish, on more enduring basis,
the rights and liberties of the people. This is
the growing sentiment, and must increase as the
positions of the respective parties shall be deve-
oped. The Southern rights party recognises,
to the fullest extent the sovereignty and indie
pendence Of the States. Let the guarantees OF
the Constitution be faithfully regarded by them,
and strict construction of that instrument in
sisted on, and we shall have no reason to doubt
the result. The people will be true to them
selves, and will assert and establish the repub-
lican State right principles which shall preserve
the government, and increase their happiness
and prosperity to such an extent and height that
other nations and coming generations will see,
admire and emulate Respectfully, yours,

If had thought thou could st have died,
| might not weep for thee
But forgot when by thy side,
That thou could st mortal be:
Ii never through my mind had past,
The time would e'er be o FER,
That | on thee should look my last,
And thou should'st smile no more!
And still upon that face look,
And think twill smile again
And still the thought cannot brook
That must look in vain
But when | speak, thou dost not say
What thou ne'er left'st unsaid
And then | feel, as well may,
Dear Mary thou art dead:
IL thou could'st stay, e'en as thou art,
All cold and all serene,
still might press they silent heart,
And where thy smiles have been;
While e'en thy chill, bleak corse lave,
Thou seemest still mine own;
But as ! lay thee in the grave,
feel | am alone
do not think, where 'er thou art,
Thou hast forgotten me
And !, perhaps, may soothe this heart
In thinking, too, of thee
Yet there was round thee such dawn
Oflight ne'er seen before,
As fancy never could have drawn,
And never can restore

charged, he related the circumstances of his dis
missa The officer ,laughingly repied-"Well,
the captain was right to discharge you, for you
