JULY 8, 1888.
MY DEAR SIR: felicitate you sincerely on
the event in Virginia, but my satisfaction will
be allayed if discover too much facility in the
business of amendment making. | fear the sys
tenn will be wounded in some of its vital parts
by too general concurrence in some very inju-
dicions recommendations. / allude more par
ticnlarly to the power of taxation. The more
consider reguisition in any shape, the more am
out of humor with it. We yesterday passed
through the Constitution. To-day some def
ute proposition is TO be brought forward, but
what, we are at loss to Judge. We have good
reason to believe that our opponents are not
agreed, and this affords some ground of hope
Different things are thought of-condiiions pre-.
ccdent, or previous amendments; conditions sub
sequent, or the proposition of amendments, upon
condition that if they are not opted within a
limited time, the State shall be at liberty to
,oithdrdio from the Union; and lastly, recon-
mandatory amendments. In either case, construct
ire declarations will be carried as far as posi-
BILE. We will 60 as far as we can in the latter,
without invalidating the act, and will concur in
rational recommendations. The rest for our
opponents. We are informed that there has
been disturbance in the city of Albany, on the
4th of July, which has occasoned bloodshed.
The Anti-F ederalsts were the aggressors, and
the Federalists the victors Thus stand our nc
counts at present We trust, however, the mat
ter has passed over, and tranquility been re-
stored. Yours, affectionatey,
A. HAMILTON

Already the Consultation has passed away
It's froriis are only used 10 give the semblance of
confederacy, but actually, rs il to afford nomi-
nal sanction to federative government Of rapa-
city, spoliation and corruption beyond example
la control despotism reared to crush US and
our institution. But the stItimum et unicuml
remedium is open to our relief repeat and
would repeat ten thousand times--if the assail-
ed States AYE, if any two or three Of them. con-
centrate on this last and only remedy, and ear
nestly and untedly proceed towards secession,
the crusade, thus resisted, will disband, and the
Constitution will be restored. Were it possible
to suppose that we are basely to succumb, then,
certainly the last and greatest stay and hope OF
progress would expire.
The question is one of existence TO the South
and submission is not TO be our destiny. The
Southern people are rising Even their boys at
the University of the mother State have given
a pledge that they will not retract. Tennessee
is beginning to see that the Hermitage is extend
ed around US, and that the North, more than ever,
is arrayed for our subugation, as Ireland to Eng
land, or more truly as Hindoostan to the East
India Company. North Carolina is quietly but
surely in motion. South Carolina, Alabama and
Mississippi are in earnest. Georgia and Texas
indeed are in humiliaton-ba betrayed--but
they are repentant and resentful. Florida and
Arkansas will come into the Southern circle
"Pierre Soule and the country parishes of Lou
isiana !"
"No: we cannot, and will not submit"

more Testimony.

The Iateligencer comes out with what
Il calls an "important d. ont" in the
shape of two short lie ters j. LExANpER
HAMILTON, and one from JAMES MADISON, which
il thinks, explode the right Of secession.
The following are the letters, with the pream-
bic of the Inteligencer:
THE RIGHT OF SECESSION" EXPLODED I'M
roRTANT DEvELoPMENT.-The doctrine Of the
right of any State to secede Mt will from the
Union-being the ground upon which the State
Of South Carolina proposes to take up arms
against the government of the United States
has been defended MS the doctrine of Virginia,
and especially of Mr.. Madison, than whose au-
thority none is entitled to higher respect.
We are indebted to our very worthy contem-
porary, the editor of the Fayetteville IN. CD
Observer, for bringing to light evidence of the
doctrine Of Mr.. Madison, and of the Constitu-
tion, on this precise point, which leaves not
another word for any man 10 say on the subject.
We now know upon what authority it was that
Judge Roane proclaimed ut meeting of the
electoral college in Richmond, in the year 1900,
that /" secession is treason"
The matter is so well introduced in the OBJ
server-the reason of this evidence only at this
day becoming public so succinctly explained, and
the necessary conclusions from it so clearly
stated-that We will not undertake to add a
word to the exposition copied from that paper,
as follows.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, Saturday, July, 1888
thank you, my dear sir, for yours by the
post. Yesterday communicated TO Duer our
situation, which ] presume he will have cornmu-
nicated to you. 1t remains exactly the same.
No further question having been taken, fear
the footing mentioned to Duer is the best up
on which il can be placed; but every thing pos
sible will yet be attempted to bring the party
from that stand TO an unqualified ratification.
Let me know your idea upon the possibility Of
our being received on that plan. You will IN
derstand that the only qualification will be the
reservation of n right to recede, in case our
amendments have not been decided upon in one
Of the modes pointed out by the Constitution
within certain number of yeus, perhaps five
or seven. If this can, in the first instance, bt
admitted as ratification, do not f,-' any iur-
Their consequences -E--eress VIII, presume
amendments to rend.r the
structure OF the government more secure. This

posers of the Constitution, a. the aid
of them will break up the party

NEW YORK, Sunday Evening.
MY DEAR SIR: Yours ofyesterday is this in
slant come 10 hand, and have but few min
utes 10 answer it. am sorry that your situa.
ton obliges you TO listen to propositions Of The
nature you describe. Ny opinion is, that re.
servation of right TO withdraw, il amendments
be not decided on under the form of the Consti.
tuition within certain time, IL conditional rati
icaton; that does not make New York mem
Der o The ne'o Union, and consequently that she
could not be received on that plan Compacts
must be reciprocal; this principle would not in
such case be preserved. The Constitution re
CURES an adoption in toto and torerer. Il has
been so adopted by the other States. An adop-
ton for limited time would be ns defective rs
an adoption Of some Of the articles only. Ir
short, any condition whatever must vitiate the
ratihcation. What the new Congress. by virtue
OF the power TO admit new States, may be able
and disposed TO do in such case, do not in.
quire, as suppose that is not the material point
at present j have not moment TO add more
than my feryent wNhes for your success and
happiness. The idea Of reservinr n RIGHT 10
withdraw was started at Richmond, and consid
cred as a conditional ratification, which was il
self abandoned as worse than a rejection.
Yours, JAMES MADISON, JR.
Now We think that in publishing these letters,
with its commentaries, the IateHigencer has sue
ceeded only in disclosing its anxiety 10 explode
the doctrine Of secession, and the want of an
argument to accomplish il. We agree that
when the Constitution was formed, Messrs
HAMILTON and MADISON preferred a consolidated
70 federal system. Mr. MADISON, as the pro.
ceedings OF the convention show, was opposed
TO an equal representation Of the States, in either
branch Of Congress. Mr.. HAMILTON was in favor
of abolishing State governments altogether, and
In the plan of Constitution proposed by him,
gave the appointment Of State governors to the
federal authority, with power Of yetoing any act
ola State legislature. Both of them undoubtedly
wanted the Constitution adopted without con.
dition or qualification. But it so happens that
the States to which they respectively belonged
New York and Virginia, differed from them.
In both these States, strong opposition was
made to the ratification Of the Constitution in
any mode. But compromise was effected
and Virginia inserted in her ratification this
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS declaration preceding her
assent: We, the delegates" &c, Do. in tho
name and in behalf Of the people Of virginia.
declare and make known, that the powers granted
under the Constitution, being derived from the
people Of the United States, maybe resumed Jy
them, whatsoever the same shall be perverted TO
their injury and oppression, and that every
power not granted thereby, remains with them
and at their will"
