Democracy and Federalism.

The onward march of the patent democ-
racy to old federalism can be exemplifed
in no better manner than by quoting the
opinion Of Thomas Jefferson on the pow
ers of the Supreme Court. In 1919 he
wrote
In denying the right they (the judges of
the Supreme Court usurp of exclusively ex-
planning the Constitution, | 90 further than
you do, if understand rightly your quotation
from the Federalist of an opinion that the
judiciary is the last resort in relation to the
other departments of the Government, but not
in relation to the rights of the parties to the
compact under which the judiciary is derived
If this opinion be sound, then, indeed, is our
Constitution e complete telo de Sc. For, in
tending to establish three departments, Co
ordinate and independent, that they might
check and balance one another, it has given,
according to this opinion, to one of them
alone the right to prescribe rules for the gov
ernment Of the other; and to that one, too,
which is uneleeted by and independent of
ahe nation
"The Constitution, on this
hypothesis, is a mere thing Of wax, in the
hands Of the judiciary which they may twist
i
should be remembered as an ariaBs of eternal
truth in politics, that lohateUcr p0acer IN ana
Government is independent, is absolute also
in theory only at first, while the spirit Of the
people is up, but in practice as fast as that
relaxes. independence can be trusted noctere
6ut lcih the people IN mass. They are inher-
emily independent Of all moral law.
In letter written in 1920, to Mr.. Jar
Wis, he used the following language:
"The Constitution has erected no such
single tribunal, knowing that to whatever
hands confded, with the corruptions of time
and party, its members would become despots.
1t has more wisely made all the departments
go equal and CO sovereign within thems elves"
To Judge johnson he wrote, in 1928,
these striking words:
81 cannot lay down my pen without recur-
ring to one of the subjects Of my former let
ter, for, IL truth, there is no danger | appre-
hend so much as the consolidation Of our Gov
ernment by the nOseless, and therefore un-
alarming. instrumentality of the Supreme
Court. This is the form in 'ohich federalism
n0,o arrays Itself; and consolidation IS the
present prmciple Of distinction betlceen Repub-
ticans and pseudo Republicans, but real .tS der
diiStS"
And General Jackson entertained sim
liar opinions in reference to the powers of
the Supreme Court. In his message We
foing the bill re-chartering the Bank of
the United States, he emphatically said:
d" The opinion Of the JVdges has no more
authority ocer Congress Man the opinion Of
Congress orer the Judges and on that point
the President Is Independent Of both. The au-
thority of the Supreme Court must not, there
fore, be permitted to control the Congress or
the executive, when acting in their Legislative
capacities, but to have only such influence as
the force of their reasoning deserve"

ABRAM LINCOLN.

A similar letter was sent to the nominee
for the Vice Presidency, to which the follow
ing is the reply
WASHINGTON, May 80 1860.
GENTLEMEN :-Iou official communication
of the 18th inst, informing me that the rep.
resentatives of the Republican party of the
United States, assembled at Chicago, on that
day, had, by unanimous vote, selected me
as their candidate for the Office Of Vice Presi
dent of the United States has been received,
together with the resolutions adopted by the
Convention as its declaration Of principles.
Those resolutions eHuncate clearly and
forcibly the principles which uaite US, and
the objects proposed to be accomplished
They address themselves to all and there is
neither necessity nor propriety in my enter
ing upon a discussion of any of them. They
have the approval of my judgement, and, in
any action Of mine, will be faithfully and cor
daily sustained.
| am profoundly grateful te taose with
whom 1t is my pride and pleasure politically
to co operate, for the nomination so unexpect-
edly confcrred and [ desire to tender through
you, to the members of the Convention, my
sincere thanks for the confidence thus repos.
ed in me. Should the nomination., which
now accept, be ratified by the people, and the
duties devolve upon me of presiding over the
Senate of the United States, it will be ny
earnest endeayor faithfully to discharge them
with a just regard to the rights of all.
1t is to be observed, in connection with the
doings Of the Republican Convention, that a
paramount object with US, is, to preserve the
normal condition of our Territorial domain
as homes for free men. The able advocate
and defender of Republican principles, whom
you have nominated for the highest place that
can crafty the ambition of man, comes from
State which has been made what it is, by
special action in that respect of wise and
good men who founded our institutions.
The rights Of free labor have there been
Vindicated and maintained. The thrift and
enterprise which so distinguish Illinois, one
of the most hourishing States of the glorious
West, we would see secured to all the Terri
tories of the Union and restore peace and
harmony to the whole country, by bringing
back the Government to what it was under
the wise ard patriotic men who created it.
If the Republicans should succeed in that OBJ
ject, as they hope to, they will be held in
grateful remembrance by the busy and teem-
ing millions Of future ages. am, very truly,
yours,
H. HAMLIN.

Bottom OF the Ocean.

Mr.. GREEN, the famous diver tells singular
stories Of his adventures when making search
in the deep waters of the ocean, He gives some
sketches of what he saw on the Silver banks
near Hayti:
The banks Of coral on which my divings, mar
rated in the previous chapter, were made, are
about forty miles in length, and from ten to
twenty in breadth.
On this bank of coral is presented to the diver
one Of the most beautiful and sublime scenes his
eyes ever beheld. The water varies from ten to
one hundred feet in depth, and so clear that the
diver can see from two to three hundred feet,
while submerged, with little obstruction to the
sight.
The bottom of the ocean in many places on
these banks is as smooth as a marble floor; in
others it is studded with coral columns from ten
to one hundred feet in height, and from one to
eight feet in diameter The tops of those more
lofty support myriad of pyramidical pendants,
each forming a myriad more; giving the reality
to the imaginary abode Of some water nymph.-
In other places. the pendants form arch after
arch, and as the diver stands on the bottom Of
the ocean, and gazes through these into the deep
winding avenue, he feels that they fill him with
as sacred an awe as fhe were in some old cathe-
dral, which had long been buried beneath 'old
oceans wave" Here and there the coral ex-
tends even to the surface Of the water, as fthose
loftier columns were towers belonging to the
stately temple now in ruins.
There were countless varieties Of diminutive
trees, shrubs and plants in every crevice Of the
corals, where the water had deposited the least
earth. They were all Of faint hue, owing to
the pale light they received, although ef every
shade and entirely different from plants ] am
familiar with that vegetate upon dry land One
in particular attracted my attention; it resem-
bled sea fan Of immense size, Of variegated col
ors, and of the most brilliant hue.
The fish which inhabited those silver banks,
found as different in kind as the scenery was
varied They were of all forms, colors and ST.
zes, from the Symmetrical goby to the globe-like
sun-fsh; from those of the dullest hue to the
changeable dolphin from the spots Of the leop-
ard to the hues of the sunbeam from the harm
less minnow to the voracious shark. Some had
heads like squirrels, others like cats and dogs;
one Of the small size resembled the bull terrier.
Soma dartsd thro' the water like msteors, while
others could scarcely be seen to move

Recent events in this vicinity have given deep
interest to everything connected with hydropho-
bia and it is important that the public should be
informed in regard to the subject in all its as
poets. The French have paid great attention to
this terrible disease, and their investigation con.
cerning it have just been published in the An
males d Hygiene Pu5liqus, Of 22s cases, in which
reference Is made to the species Of animals by
which the hydrophobia was communicated
One hundred and eighty eight were stated to
have been produced by the bite ofa dog, twenty
six of WOLF thirteen by that Of cat, and one
by the bite ofa fox. In two cases in which the
bite Of a cat produced the disease, one animal is
reported to have become rabid in consequence of
an extensive burn, another owing to its having
been robbed Of its young. These cases are of
considerable Interest, as they tend to resolve the
still doubtful question Of the spontaneous devel-
opment of hydrophobia in other species of ami
mails than the canine.
Nearly two-thirds of the whole number Of ca
ses occurred during hot weather, and only about
sixty persons out Of hundred who were bitten
were subsequently seized with hydrophobia, and
the remaining forty experienced no III effects.
Numerous adventitious circumstances, such as
the interposition Of an article of clothing to
which the saliva Of the rabid animal might ad-
here, the state Of the patients mind or health af
ter the injury &c, would considerably influence
the results In this particular. The disease Ia
more rapidly developed in very young persons,
than at any other age and the length of time

ton is usually quite brief Out of 16l cases

Upon the important subject CT the relative ef.

report observes that the fact cannot be too

curty from the fatal effects Of this dreadful dis.
ease consist in immediate cauterization with the

compromises the future safety Of the patient by
