John Randolph Of ROnOke,

In l799 this faithful republican and disciple of
Thomas Jefferson, in speech of great power,
said:
Should the Federal Government ATTEMPT to
exercise powers that does not belong to it-and
those that do belong to it are few, specified, well
dehned-all others being reserved to the people
and to the States,-shoud it step beyond it's prov
ince and encroach on rights that have not been del
egated, it is the duty Of tie States to interDose.

General jackson.

Mr. Donelson, General Jacksons private Secre-
tarv, and the present editor of the Washington
Union, in late number of that paper, says that
the old Hero was prominent politician in 1900
and was thoroughly acquainted with the views of
Madison and Jefferson g that he was the friend
of Jefferson in those days and came to the Senate
as State Rights Democrat, and never by any act
or deed, sanctioned a sentiment which he deemed
inconsistent with the original doctrines of which
Jefferson became the honorable champion and ex-
FOUNDER. +" Again In President Jackson's in
augural, March 4th, 1929, we find him using the
following orthodox language: g In such mea-
sures as shall be called on to pursue in regard
to the rights of the separate States, | hope to be
animated by proper respect for those SOVER-
EIGN members of the Union; taking care not to
compound the powers they have reserved to them

eracy. !" In his FIRST annual message, December
9th, 1892 he reiterates the sovereignty of the
States, thus:

Music.

We have already announced our determination
to begin the printing of some excellent pieces of
music It is known that Prof S. Markstien is
one of the most accomplished performers, on vari
Gus instruments, we have seen in this country
lie also stands deservedly high as a composer
We have had the pleasure of hearing many OF
the pieces he has lately composed, and feel justi-
fed in pronouncing them possessed of marked
beauty and excellence. His composition has been
declared, by those of musical genius, equal if not
superior, to any in this country. He believes in
music suited to the Southern taste, spirits and
feelings and hence, his musical conceptions gener-
orally reach the Southern heart. He is desi-
rous that the ladies of Mississippi should have
music of their own, and has taken great pains 10
meet their just expectation.
