UNITED STATES REVIEW 4 STATE
RIGHTS REGISTER,


TN CONNECTION with the usual matter,
/ political and literary, contained in the UNI-
TED STATES REVIEW, we intend to rcpublish oil
the state papers extant on the question of state
rights as announced in the Virginia Resolutions
Of '0S and 90. The publication will embrace
also the works Of standard writers, such as
John Taylor Of Caroline, whose works are now
nearly out Of print These valuable political
data will be carefully collected, and when COM
pleted, will furnish complete constitutional
history Of our Federal Union. The subscrip-

senator's in congress) will be furnished regular
" with the Rerie,c from this date, and we hope
each subscriber will feel that he is performing
a duty to great and sacred political principle
by extending the list Of names already on our
books.
II Is time for us to 90 go back to those pure
principles upon which the great fabric Of de-
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 raj
" around some common nucleus, to resist the
wild latitudinarianism Of the age, and evident
tendency Of the republic towards concentration
to end at best in mixed monarchy. 1t is
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 State-Rights Register, and feel confident
that they will respond heartily to the call
The true Democracy have q great battle to
fight, q great principle Of selfgovernment to
uphold, an inspired Constitution to defend.
May each one Of us feel that it is On individual
duty.

WHAT SHE WAS WORTH. Hooper, of the

to furnish us with bit of humor. Here
is specimen:
What has become" we asked "of Frank
H-w
Our friends face grew sad at the mention
of the name.
Have you never heard" he said "of
Franks remarkable marriage?'
Never" we replied.
!" We'll, sir he married-his wife is beau
tifnl, accomplished, lovely woman, butt
But what?"
Sir, Mrs. H, was reputed before
the marriage to be worth just fifteen thou
sand dollars. She was the only daughter
OF a widowed mother. Her friends, when
asked. and her mother too-always said
that it was fifteen thousand dollars. OF
course it was believed"
Certainly; all that sort of thing is al
ways belieyedW
We'll when they were married, and
Frank come to count the money
" He no doubt fonnd it fifteen AundredW
by no means; the old lady had the keep
ing Of the young lady's income; good
deal of the money was boarded, and when
it was all actually counted, it was ascer-
tanned that Mrs. H had, instead of ff
teen, TWENTY-FIVE thousand dollars-a clear
gain of seven to Frank p
Here our friend wiped his face slowly,
and swore as he finished the recital, that
he believed that no such case had ever
happened out of North Cmolinaw

A Coop DESCRIPTION OF ELECTRICAL
AcTIoN.-Professor Hannibal's last lecture
AS usual he begins at the beginning. He
says" DE fuss question | ak am; what
am electricity ?"- and ! answer myself,
like dc eko in dc hills, No body knows
some say dat electricity am de tightening
OF human thought and dat's .ist about as
clear as dcy deal it out to us ignorant dar-
kies.' But he cites one illustration Of de
tex which seems conclusive; 'Sposcn you
see silver dollar laying on de pavement,
looking you full in de face, wllar somebody
drop it, would you stand and consider long
before you pick it up Your sour castle
smile answers, No." Well, den, what
makes you grab it up and drop it in pock-
ct, as II itwas hot, and makes you turn dc
lust corner you come to-? Why, electric

That dim your eyes in after age,
Think it was mothers hand,
Though her smile no more thou'lt sec,
Passing toward that better land,"

For thy heart is young and wild,
Andupon thy girlhoods brow,
Nought but sunny hope has smiled !
But when disappointments come,
And the world begins to steal
All thy spirits early bloom,
Thea it's value wilt thou test.
To thy chamber, still and lone,
Fly-and search this sacred page
When earth's Establishments are gone
Every grief It will assuage
Close thy door against the din
Of worldly folly-worldly fear
Only lot the radiance in
Of each heavenly promise here /!
When thy bruised spirit bends
Meath the weight Of sorrows chain,
When Of all liie's summer friends
Not one fatterer shall remain
Lay this unction to the wound
Of thy smitten, bleeding breast
Here the only balm is folnd
That can yield the weary rest +!
Nor alone in hours Of woe
Search the Scriptures" but while joy
