Coercion of a State.

MIR. Webster, in letter lately written by him,
declared in reference to the movements in South
Carolina, that secession could not be accomplish
ed but by war" From the position occupied by
Mr.. Webster, it is presumed he speaks the senti
ments and policy of Mr. Fillmore's Governments
and his letter may be regarded as declaration of
war; in advance, against South Carolina, in case
she should choose to exercise the right which she
possesses, of peaceably retiring from the Union
The question is thus presented: has the United
States Government the right to make upon
a seceeding State? We shall not commit the pre-
sumption of arguing constitutional question with
the ''great expounder;'' intend only to produce
authority. Mr.. Webster is great authority, but as
great is tits hardly equal to that of the fran
ers of the Constitution. They it is presumed
knew the Constitution better than Mr.. Webster.
The following extracts from the Madison papers,
an authentic record of the proceedings of the Con-
vention which framed the Constitution, show that
the authors of the Constitution never contemplated
the of force against State, and that they ex-
pressly refused to confer that power upon the Gov
eminent. The following was clause in one of
the resolutions submitted to the Convention by Mr.
Randolph of Virginia:
"ReSotyed, That the National Legislature ought
to be empowered to call the force OF the Union
against any member of the Union falling to fulfil
ats duties under the articles thereof
When this clause came up for consideration,

COUNTY CAPE BRETON.


This is to testify that about the first week of
the present month of March, 1874 one of my children
about three years of age attacked with most ex-
crutating and violent pains the little fellow made us
(his mother and myself) sensible that the entire pain
was in about his little stomachhis agony was in
describabe, and having applied to nearest neigh
bor (Mr. MartinD from whom expected to get some
Medicine, was assisted by his son. who proceeded to
Sidney, and procured bottle of sB. A Fahnestocks
Vermifuge," the only one, believe in town. and gave
the child three teaspoonfu in the space of as many
hours Shortly afterwards, to great astonishment
hoo hundred and fty-eight worms, measuring from Is
to Is inches in length and bigger than large goose
quill were evacuated by the sufferer, whose life, with
Gods assistance thus wonderfully preserved.
The following morning, another child of mine, about
six years old rnsed the bottle which contained on
ly half teaspoonul of the medicine, and drank it,
when the same day he passed hundred and forty
one worms equally long and larger.
Such valuable medicing cannot be too highly re-
commended, as take this opportunity of making my
childrens case known to the public, and acknowledge
ing my grateful thanks to the gentleman who advised
the remedy. As witness my hand this 9th dav of
March, at Sydney, Cape Breton, 1914.

sword which will fall upon my own State next"
Fully was this gallant resolve responded to by the
Southern men on this occasion. The people of
Mississippi are fully aroused the fire is in the
prarles, and nought can quench it save a recogni-
ton by Congress and the North of the rights we
claim. If that claim be denied, Jeff. Davis and
the Mississippi Regiment may again meet their
country's foes upon the field; the Union party,
like the Indiana Regiment at Buena Vista, may
forsake their country, but with the cause we have
with one such leader as Davis in every Southern
State we risk the issue against the united North
and their Southern allies
