sidered them national will please take no.
tice of this fact.
The charge that the repeal of the Miss.
ouri restriction was any violation OF plight
ed faith is so notoriously untrue to those To-
miliar with the circumstances under which
lit was adopted, that it requires nothing less
than Northern Know.Nothing or Aboli.
zionist to reiterate it, and even they can
hardly do it without blush. There was
no more faith or sanctity about it than any
ordinary law of Congress, which is respec-
table at the will of succeeding Congresses
The request that Congress should in the
admission of new States out Of any portion
of the United States territory, set up test"
that our ancestors never revuired, and which
was not applied to the original thirteen that
adopted the Constitution, is simply disunion
doctrine nothing more nor less. The South.
crn portion of the confederacy never would
submit peaceably to such "test," " any more
than the Know-Nothiegs have, but would
separate from their brethren, in imitation
of the latter, and form government OF
their own. Georgia and some Of her sister
States have announced that such would be
their action in that event.
This Know-Nothing platform, while 1t
renders union with the Southern Know.
Nothings impossible, and completely section
alizes the Order, will be also not acceptable
to the Black Republicans. The latter re.
quire the disorganization Of the Order, Or
what is the same thing the abandonment Of
l its sekarate action and it further demands
that no more slave States from any part Of
the United States Territory, either North
or South, shall be admitted.
We do not see how, after this, the South
ern Know Nothings can have pretence
for keeping up their organization. Their
Philadelphia platform, being repudiated by
all their Northern brethren, is Of no service
to them. BY keeping up their separate or.
ganization they weaken the only national
party in the feld-the Democracy-and
thereby increase the chance Of success on
the part of the abolitionist. All other par
ties have broken up and disbanded on the
slavery question but the Democracy, which
presents platform broad enough for all tha
States to stand upon. 1t is Of Congression
al non-intervention, the right of the people
of every State and Territory to settle the
slavery question themselves; thus taking il
!. wholly out Of the arena of national poll.
TICS and preserving unimpaired the integri.
ty and harmony Of the Union, which can be
maintained in no other way.
We are anxious to see how the proceed
ings Of the Northern branch of the Order
are received by their Southern brethren.

TN CONNECTION with the usual matte,
/ political and literary, contained in the Uxl.
TED STATES REVIEW, we intend to republish ali
the state papers extant on the question Of state
rights as announced in the Virginia Resolution
of '9S and 90 The publication will embrace
also the works of standard writer's, such a.
John Taylor of Caroline whose works are nov
nearly out of print. These valuable political
data will be carefully collected, and when con-
peted will furnish complete constitutional
history of our Federal Union. The subscrn.
ton list of the " State-Rights Register y (t6>
prospectus of which was issued under tho o..
probation of the Democratic members and
senator's in congress) will be furnished regular.
ly with the Reriew from this date, and we hon
each subscriber will feel that he is performing
duty to great and sacred political principle
Il by extending the list Of names already on our
books.
1t is time for us to 60 go back to thosepurs
principles upon which the great fabric Of d.
mocracy rests; principles originated and defined
by those who created, and best understood the
true meaning of the constitution. 1t Is time
that the friends of state sovereignty should ral
ly around some common nucleus, to resist the
wild latitudinaranism of the age, and evident
tendency of the republic towards concentration
to end at best in mixed monarchy. 1t i
time for each states-rights man to feel that he
must give his own personal individual influence
to the defense Of the very cornerstone Of our
constitutional government.
| We send the Review to the subscribers Of
the Statc-Rights Register, and feel confident
that they will respond heartily to the call
The true Democracy have great battle to
fight, great principle Of sclfgoyernment 70
uphold, an inspired Constitution to defend.
May each one Of us feel that it is an individual
duty. W

A BOLD PREACHER Samuel
Davies was President of the Princeton
College, he visited England for the pur-
pose of obtaining donations for the insti-
tuition. George Second had a curiosity
to hear preacher from the ''wilds Of
America. He accordingly attended, and
was SO much struck with the command
ing eloquence of the preacher, that he ex-
pressed his aStsnishment loud enough to
be heard half way across the church, in
such terms as these: "He is wonderful
man! Why, he beats my bishop" Da-
yies observing that the king was attract
ing more attention than himself, pausing
and looking his majesty full in the face,
gave him, in an emphatic tone, the fol-
lowing rebuke: when the lion roareth,
let the beasts Of the forest tremble; and
when the Lord speaketh, let the kings Of
the earth keep silence The king in
stantly shrunk back in his seat, and re-
mained quiet during the remainder of the
sermon. The next day, the monarch
sent for him, and gave him fifty guineas
for the institution over which he pre-
sided; observing at the same time to his
couriers-s.he is an honest man-an hon.
