THE RIGHT OF 'sEoEssIoY.
The Way 1t was Decided at the Adop-
tton OF the ConStttutton.
from the N. =. Tines

The Southern Disunionist journals are
laying great stress on their assumed right
to secede. They are very fond of assert
ing that this is only q partnershipof States
from which any one member may secede
at will.
They forget, apparently, that this.yery
question was raisedgaud dseiaed before the
adoption of the Constitution New York
was unwilling to. accept that instrument
and join the Union which it created, un-
less she could terminate her connection
with it at pleasure. Heraproposul was to
join for FIVE or six years, with the right
then to withdraw if she desired. Alexan-
der Hamilton was inclined to favor the
compromise, and wrote to Madison in re-
gard to it from Poughkeepsie, July, 1883,
lin these tcrms: -
"Tou will understand that the only quail
lfcGtion SciU be The resegration of a right to
Tecede, in case our amendments have not
been decided upon,ti one of the modes.
pointed out by the Constitstion, within d
certain number of years, perhaps FIVE or
seven. If this can, in the first instance,
be admitted as q ratification, l do not fear
any further consequences. Congress will,
l presume, recommend certain amend
ments to render the structure of the Gov
ment more secure. This will satisfy the
more considerate and honest opposers of
the Constitution, and with the aid of them
will break up the party.
Yours, aftectionately, A. HAMILTON.
And here is Madison's reply:
NEw York, Sunday eveuing.
My DEAR SIN: Yours of yesterday is this
instant ut hand, and I have but u few min
utes to answer it. anu sorry your situu-
ton ohliges you to listen to propositions
of the nature you describe. My opinion
is that q reservation of the right to with
draw, if amendments be not decided on
under the form of the Constitution within
q certain time, is a conditional ratification;
that it does not make New York a member
of the new Union, and consequently that
she should not be received on that PLAN
Compacts must be reciprocal; this princi-
pie would not in this case be preserved
The Constitution requires an adoption in toto
and FOREVER. 1t has been adopted by the
other States. An adoption for a limited
time would be as defective as an adoption
of some of the articles only. In short,
any condition whatever must vitiate the
ratification. What the new, Congress, by
virtue of the power to admit new States,
may be able and disposed to do in such n
case. do not inquire, and suppose that
s ltdsa not the material point at present. i
have not}a momentEtp addtHore than my.
feryent wishes for your success and happi5
ness. The idea of reserving he right to NTH
dra'r tcas started al Richmond, and consider
ed as conditional ratification, which avds
itself 0bdndoned- than rejection.

Getting Alarmed.

The Union movements in New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Indiana, have stricken alarm and con-
siernation into the Republican camp. The
divisions in the conservative forces gener-
ally filled their minds with visions OF sue
cess and they fancied that the White House
Was already in their possession. But the
sober second thought has already taken
hold of the people and the conservative
forces are raIlying with power and force,
that these promul gators of reasonable doc
trines never anticipated. The great danger
threatening our country has awakened the
dormant energies of . people who love
their whole country, and everywhere the cry
OF union and victory is in the ascendant
Without the votes of Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indi-
ana, the Republicans are destined 10 have
an overwhelming defeat. Without these
states, especially without New York and
Pennsylvania. The black cohorts of treason
This they well know, and hence the alarm,
that the New York Tribune, and other kin.
dred abolition sheets are sounding. They
know the people-the conservative people
of The country-have become tired of aboli-
tionism, and are getting aroused. These
journals have been struck with fear and
trembling. Democrats-conseryativ men

watchwords and the triumph is ours

ForneH,s Old Grudgs Against Foster.

That truthful sheet, the Press, in lis edi

the Hon. HENRY d. FOSTER spoke. Senti-
ments were therein stated 10 have been ut
tered by Gen. Foster in relation TO the ter
ritoral question which he had no doubt,
when reading it, were never spoken. Since
then Ger. FOSTER has arrived in this city,
and we find upon inquiry that just as we
expected, the statements of the letter are
utterly destitute of truth, no such remarks
having been made by him, either there or
elsewhere. One can scarcely imagine that
anv man could be so lost TO a sense of truth
as is the abandoned political desperate of
the Press; but it seems that in his malc-
ious efforts 10 destroy the Democratic party
and It's candidates, there is nothing too
base for him TO do The dee eeP-seated, bit.
ter grudge he has against General FosTER is,
of course, we'll known, and that he should

was desirable TO place him right upon the
record so far as Pennsylvania interests
are concerned, but he was not disposed 10
be thus caught. He has not been heard
from since upon the subject, and, we sup
pose, intends TO keep the bill in his pocket

Republican Convention

Our Republican friends met in County
Convention, in the Court House, at this
place, on last Saturday afternoon, and nom.
mated the following ticket:
For Congress, they instructed Conferees
TO osupport George w. Scranton, of I.uzerne !;
Senator, Frank Stewart, OF Berwick, receiv.
ed the Conferees a0ith instructors, to sup
Fort his nomination; Representative Con-
ferees were appointed, uninstructed, we
believe, as they presented no candidate
from this county Prothonotary, Jacob D.
Mellick, of Scott; Register and Recorder,
Thomas ]. Morris, of Bloom; Commission.
er, Nehemiah Reece, of Centre; Auditor,
Levi Aikman, of Centre.
These are The nominations; and they are,
by our party, as well as a portion of their
| own, considered rather poor material 10
place before an intelligent people for their
suffrages. A much stronger ticket could
have been framed but this is all the better
for our candidates, besides it goes TO show
| that they do not understand themselves
There was no contest for any of the nomi
nations. They labor hard TO keep up their
organization in this county.
This Convention was not largely attended
over one half of the townships were moi
represented. Bloom township turned oui

Signs Of Alarm,

The Republican papers all over the State
have simultaneously turned their guns
against the Bell aud Everett men, from
which we infer that Bell and Everett are
looming mp. The Republicans imagined
that they had absorbed or crushed the con-
servative element of the Opposition, and
have suddenly discovered their mistake
hence this discharge of field pieces and
small arms all along the line. The Bell
men are expected TO quake in their shoes
at all thunder, and allow themselves TO be
scourged into immediate submission. But
they don't appear TO be bit alarmed
They continue TO hold meetings and recruit
their ranks right in the face OF the enraged
Republicans. If they continue 10 make
such rapid progress it will be question
before November whether Lincoln or Bell
will receive most votes in the State.
