Francis z. Dlnir. of Missouri.

Hon. Francis =. Blair is doing a
noble work in Missouri. He made
a bold and iorcible speech, a short
time since, at st. Joseph. He took
strong ground in favor Of Republican
principles, exposing the corruptions
of the Buchanan administration. -
He was frequently interrupted, and
sometimes threatened by the pro-
slavery men present. but without be
ing intimldated spoke his sentiments
and finished his very able speech. -
lie was sustained by sufficient
number of free state men to make aI
attack on him not very desirable or
the part OF his opponents. Mr.
Blair is welding powerful intlu
ence in Missouri; and as a pioneer
of freedom in that state, is destined
at no distant day, to see his policy
triumph.

Federalism Revived.

1t has probably not escaped the o0
scrvation Of discerning men, that an
effort is now making, by tho Demo-
cratic party of the country, to give
peculiar prominence to the power and
influence Of the general government
in the affairs Of the Northern states
especially. The general govern
ment has been found sach an eff.
cient agency, in the hands Of the
present party in power, to advance
the special interests OF the South,
that the rights of the states and local
interests are almost wholly overlook
ed. The inviolability OF the Fugi.
tive Slave Law, and the exclusive
authority OF United States officisla,
and the extraordinary sanctity of
these persons, so far as to protect
them from all processes Of state
Courts, constitute a remarkable fea-
ture in the present Democratic poll.
.cy. This, as any one can see, is
rank unadnlterated Federalism; and
II not eh Jckcd, Will eventually re-
suit in the establishment of central
despotism. The attempt TO secure
to the Judges Of Courts, in effect, a
life tenure OF Office, is another long
stride towards Federalism. There
was a time, when 1t was considered
sound Democracy to make our
Judges elective, so that the people
might have it in their power to re.
move them when dissatisfied with
their official conduct; but modern
Democracy canpot tolerate even the
questioning of Judges decision;-
and to attempt to set Judge aside,
is looked upon as great misde-
meanor. The Republicans non;n-
ated Gholson instead OF Swan, the
present incumbent, and modern Fed.
eralism has attempted to raise ter
rible storm over it.
Thomas Jefferson wrote, under
date Of December 25, 1920:
"The Judiciaryof the United States is the
subtle corps Of soppers and miners. con.
stnntly working underground to underm ne
the foundation OF our coRfederated fabric
They are constituting the Constitution from
co ordination Of a general and special gov.
eminent, to a general and supreme one
alone.'
Jefierson's declaration is true to
the letter at the present time. The
federal government, controlled, as il
is, by the slave power, has not failed
to use our Courts as instruments ia
extend and strengthen it's power
Why, it has come to this that the
government officials treat our state
institutions and state laws with per-
feet contempt. They do not hesitate
to over ride all state authority.
