GESrLEMEN-The States are sovereign, or thew
are not. We prove the affirmative by the Declaf-
alton of Independence, and the articles of Confed-
eration-let the Federal party prove the negative
if they can. If State is sovereign, it can do any
thing-itcan nullfy an act of Congress or seced-
ed; is subject only to the law Of nature and ma
tons. which it is bound to respect This exercise
oflts sovereign power has nothing to do with the
Conshtutlon. much less with revolution-it is a.
boye the Constitution, because it has the law Of
nations for its Constitution and it can have no con-
necuon with the revolution because of all acts Of
human power and authority it is most
peaceable, legitimate and sacred. Our opnonen3s
involve themselves in nextricable difficulty. The
federalsts say that the powers Of soveregnty have
Deendivlded between the Statesand Federal govern

20 the latter, at possesses the greater sovereignty
and on that account must be the Judge of its own
powers whick makesit absolute. And vet the

ROYAL ELopEMENr-A MAN THAT EATs-From
the Paris correspondence of the New York Herald
we extract the following paragraphs
In Spain, the principal fact worthy of being
mentioned is the elopement ofthe elder daughter
of the Queen Mother, Maria Chrstiana, with the
cook of the palace. 1t is said that when the
news of that scandal reached the of Queen Is
abela, she laughed so much that all the courtiers
followed the example of her majesty. This
daughter of Maria Christina had been almost en-
gagged to President Louis Napoleon, with dow
er of ten millions of francs
A very accentric man, whose appetite has no
equal think, in the world, is now in Paris. His
name is Thomas 1.-THE Bear, and thus called for
his wishing daily several restaurants of Paris,
where he is fed with all the remains of the proceed
NC day which are not sold. A few days ago, an
American gentleman who had met him at Berey,
in tavern, made bet with of his friends that
he would furnish the Bear" Thomas, sixteen
pounds of veal salad for sixteen persons, a loaf
ofbread weighing six pounds) and ten bottles of
wine. The bet was accepted, and the dinner
swallowed by this ogre of the nineteenth century,
who on the same day. eat for his supper fourteen
pounds of Goldfish, a basket oftwenty pounds of
strawberries, and six pounds of bread. Decided
ly, Thomas, the Pole, has stomach beyond that
of an ostrich.

Federasts admit that sovereignty resides IN the
people, by which they mean the whole people OF
the United States when or how they become one
people, they cannot explain.
The weaker among them are divided in opinion,
some saving that it resides in the United States
without being able to show substantive, distinct
and independent being called the United States,
and capable of receiving sovereignty; and others
that the Government sovereign, because the peo-
pie have vested their sovereign powers in the Gov
eminent, as if Government a mere agent, were
capable of receiving sovereign powers. Thus in
consistency follows inconsistency, and contradlc-
ton, contradiction. If sovereign powers could
vest in Covenant, that Government could trans
fer them TO any subject capable of receiving them
in virtue of that very sovereignty.
Carolina had perfect right to do as she did;
but as we do not always what we have right to do,
blamed Carolina for not acting in concert with
those States having identical interests-if she had
doue so, certain and complete triumph of the
constitution would have been the result. You per-
ceive, therefore, that the denial to State of alb
solute sovereignty, is surrender OF the whole
question, as in any aspect of it, the Federal Gov
eminent having the higher attributes of sovereign
ty, can, In no event be checked or restrained or
limited by power possessing only the minor at
trbutes.-Very respectfully gentlemen,
G. NJ TROUP
