above, and four below; four measures eighteen
feet square, and four are seventeen by eighteen
There are also two large halls, one above, and
one below stairs Also two balconies, both on
the upper story, one in front, the other in the
rear Of the house, with piazza on the lower
story, fronting the street.
This house was built for a family residence

dence can be found in the Parish surprising il
nj these particulars.
The kitchen is large and commodious, con
tanning four extra rooms.

PERIODICALS.
UNITED STATES REVIEW & STATE
RIGHTS REGISTER. G

TN CONNECTION with the usual matter,
/ political and literary, contained in the UNI
TED STATES REVIEW, we intend to republish oil
the state papers extant on the question OF state
rights as announced in the Virginia Resolutions
Of 1913 and '09 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-
ton list Of the " State-Rights Register" (the
prospectus Of which was issued under the ap,
probation Of the Democratic members and
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. 0TrqFJD.THo ..I- -fJT..
It is time for us to go go back to thosepure
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
ly 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 a mixed monarchy. 1t is
time for each statcs-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 o.
the State Rights Register, and feel confident
that they will respond heartily to the call.
The true Democracy have great battle 70
fight, great principle Of self-government to
uphold, on inspired Constitution to defend
NAV each one OF us feel that it is an individual
duty.
