throughout the Union, and in order to promote to
the fullest extent the growth Of American principles
the propretors will hereafter furnish 1t at 81 year
per copy, 10 all clubs Of one hundred or more. At
this low rate Of subscription they are confident OF
receiving large accession Of subscribers to their
present list which now reaches 1000 copies, and OF
extending, in q corresponding ratio, the advance
ment Of American principles in every section of the
country.
An inducement is, by this arrangement, offered to
newspaper agents. booksellers statoners and Others
TO act as agents for the Aneean Organ, and to the

How Shall the Constitution be Ex-
pounded
The Richmond Enquirer and National Amer
lean 90 of into controversy as to the meaning
Of that clause Of the American platform which
prescribes obedience to the Constitution Of
these United States, as the Supreme law of the
land, sacredly obligatory upon all its parts and
members and steadfast resistance to the spirit
Of innovation upon It's principles, however spe.
cious the pretexts avowing that, in all doubt
ful or disputed points, 1t may only be legally
ascertained and expounded by the judicial
power Of the United States" This the Enqui
rcr calls "a consolidating Federal doctrine"
But this construction is wholly unwarrant
able The platform says that, in doubtful
or disputed points, the constitution may be
only "iegatty ascertained by the judicial
power" Does the Enquirer think that the
constitutionality Of the Fugitive-slave law can
be expoundcd by the State court Of Wiscon-
sin' Or, that fugitive can receive the right
Of trial by jury under the Personal liberty law Of
Massachusetts, Or, does il believe that one OF
more citizens Of Carolina or Connecticut can
refuse obedience to Federal law, whether i,
authorize the recapture of negro or the col
lection Of a revenue taxi The clause referred
to Is levellcd against the Higher-law doctrine
II says that the Federal law can be illegally
cxpounded only 10 the Federal courts but, il
a case shall arise in which the States would be
required to decide, in the last resort, upon
obedience TO thelaw, or disruption to the Union,
then no one would think of rcsorting to the
Federal courts, because the States wonld have
thrown themselves on the right Of revolution.
We never believed in that chanccry pleading
which was called notification at one section of
the Union, and higher law at the other. We
look upon the right ofrevolution as sacred and
inalienable When occasion arises, we should
certainly resort to It. Until that unhappy
period shall arrive, we shall support the Consti.
tuition Of the United States, and rely upon the
Federal court Ms the only illegal" interpreter
ofits provisions.

DEAL FOR WIKE.-The peace of several
German families in Lancaster was somewhat
disturbed few days since by the discovery
that three Of their male members claimed the
same woman for wife. The Examiner SAYS
at one time things looked serious, portending
storm, but better feelings, with humane
counsel and lager beer, having prevailed, it was
finally determined by the parties and their
friends, that the three husbands should decide
their claims by resort to cards. game
was accordingly played, and the winner put
in possession of his ''fair, fat and forty in
amorata.' The unsuccessful husbands, or
rather widowers, concluded to ''drown their
sorrows in the cup" and make night of it.

From Putnam 4 Magazine


The wild November comes 1t last
Beneath vail Of rain;
The night wind ha0ws its folds aside
Her face IL full Of pain.
The latest of her race she takes
The Antumu's vacant throne
She ha1 hat one short moon to five,
Aud she must live alone I!
A barren realm of withered fields
Bleak woods and falling leaves
The palest morns that ever dawned
The dreariest Of ewes.
IL is no wonder that she comes,
Poor month with tears Of pain
For what can one so hopeless do
But weep, and weep again.
