The National htegsHoer saws that in order to show
how vide have been latter departures from the pre-

cannot deny ourselves the qualification OF bringing
the notice and thoughtful consideration of our readers
the suboined Just reflections from the pen of the Hon.
William @. Rives, called, in his recently published
volume the Life and Times Of Madison, to review
the theory and plan OF government established by the
patriots of the Revolutionary in Virginia
in looking back the Virginia Constitution of 1870
with all the lights which the intermediate experience of
eighty years has shed the science of popular
ment cannot but be struck with the reach of praeti
cal wisdom and spacious craftsmanship exhibited in
construction. 1t system which, while resting on
the general principle Of the sovereignty OF the people
and equal rights, so organized combine justice
and moderation with power and to barriers against
every species of arbitrary authority whether OF one
few, or the many
while every department of the Government was de-
rved, directly or indirectly from popular origin the
right of suffrage exercised by those who by fixed
ownership, however small in the soil of the country
were attached by permanent common interest the
cety whose destines they controlled Nor this great
and naturally virtuous body of electors-the middle
classes of society, removed alike from the temptations Of
riches or poyerty-caed upon FILL by their own mme-
date choice all the various grades of public magistracy
Alter the election Of their representatives in the ecs

lie Is no true friend Of popular government or popu-
lar liberty who Is for calling the sovereign power Of the
people into action for every OCCASION whether great
small, and thus disturbing that calm deliberate and i'm
partial revision at stated times of the conduct of public
servants which the highest and essential attribute
OF popular sovereignty is the best preservave of
freedom Tho necessary consequence of frequent and
teasing recurrence to the popular suffrage is 10 weary
and disgust the people with its exercise and TO ensaye
them TO the habitual guidance of party leaders and
ayers who cover and hardly cover their interested
and selfish ends under pretence of public zeal"
