7, order TO reach the object ofthe or
c.,;,.,;on Of the Abolition Republican
party, it is found to be necessary 70 SUI
vert tho constitution, to destroy the oal,
ances in our system Of Government, ana
70 ipnor. the legitimate power and ionc'
ton. of one of its branches. Ofthi' Pc
culi.rly Republican doctrine the h'r-
,;.huro Patriot and Union says:
The New York Tyibvas define its at.
t;tude Yards the Supreme Court OF
the United States. Itregards the Court
d a s'safe guardian Of private rlghts;
but denies Its authority to settle the
limitations Of political power, either as
regards the several States or the Fedc-
raj Government" This seems to De
the priciplo governing the Republican,
party. and moments reflection viii
show that it is false in theory, and vici'
GUS in practice. II tre Supreme Court
ba. not the right to settle the limitations
of political power, then no tribunal In
the country has, and it is high time that
.ucb mower was vested somewhere
Without it tho States Of this mon
NAV soou become warning and irrespon-
sibie soyereignties. lfthere Is no tr'ou-
nal whose decision is final in cases OF
conflict between q State and the Fsde-
raj Government, tho issue can only be
determined by resort to the argument
of force. Suppose that State under

the Constitution Of the United States, OF
hostile to the spirit and intention OF tina,

According to this theory the Supreme
Court OF the United States has no au.
thority to s'settle the limitations OF pol
itical power" The State, if it has the
conscience to do so, may persist in dis
regarding the Constitution, and the ira
mers of that system OF government
were 80 unwise ~ to leave it without
any power Of protecting itself from be-
ine resisted and repudiated. This may
be a very convenient theory for the en-
emies Of the Constitution, who oncour'
age it's violation in the shape OF person
al liberty bills, and who do not like the
bred Scott decision, but it is not the
doctrine Of those who seek to maintain
the Constitution and the Union. The
theory Of the Tribune is that OF anarch

Fishing for the Irish Vote.

1t is amusing to witness the eagerness
with which the Republican press 'grab"
at an occurrence that took place recent
" in the South, and which resulted in
the punishment Of an Irishman for the
expression Of some Abolition sentiment.
The N. Y. Journal Of Commerce re-
marks
"The Post is impatient because the Irishmen
generally refuse to vote with the Republican
party. To cure them Of this error. - the Post
considers it, that paper has undertaken the task
Of looking up cases where 1rishmsn have been
maltreated at the South. thus appealing to the
preudicss Of that class Of voters. in the hope Of
winning them over to Republication.
An expression of peculiar sympathy
for the Irish comes with q bad grace
from party which has, time and again
passed laws prescribing all foreigners
and, a. in the case of the adoption o
the amendments to the Constitution o.
Massachusetts,, placed them below the
Negro in the scale of political positions
But these fellows much mistake the
Irish character, if they have an ides
that they can cajole the Sons of thu
Emerald Isle into the support Of Adolf
tionism. The Irish support the Demo
cratic party because they approve it
principles, and when these principles
cease to lead, land not until them they
will cease to follow.

A Remarkable Relic.

At the funeral Of Bishop Neumann,
in Philadelphia, large IVORY cruci6x
was placed above the head Of the de-
ceased, as the body lay in state. The
Philadelphia Press Of the 10th says:
"The relic possesses rare interest,"
One of the former United States consuls
to Genoa, Mr.. Lester, was at one time
engaged in visiting the different places
Of note in that city, when he met q
monk who was carving out Of solid
piece Of ivory a crucifix, upon which he
spent many years of labor. and to the
perfection of which he gave his undivi-
ded attention. Mr.. Lester became par
ticularly interested in the sculptor and
the work which he was producing, and
he purchascd the crucifix at considera-
bic price. He then sent it for inspec-
ton to the renowned sculptor, Powers,
with directions to him to make such i'm
provements upon It as he might think
fit. Powers held it in his possession fol-
six months, at the end Of which period
he returned it, stating at the same time
that the figure was q most perfect work
of art, and could not be in any way I'M
proved.
When Mr.. Lester arrived in this coun
try, he sold the cross to the Cosmopol.
itan Art Association for the sum of ten
thousand dollars, and at the Associa
tons distribution it fell into the hand,
of = schoolmastcr in Lancaster county
in this State, from whom it was pur
chated by the deceased Bishop, who
upon many occasions since, has bee,
heard to say that no money on eartl
could re-purohase the treasure. From
the size Of tho crucifix, it must be in
ferred that the ivory belonged to tn,
tusk Of IN animal which existed age
since, IS no elephant in modern time
could supply an equal amount Of tusk
The ivory, when found, was q blacl
mass, like coal. The second coating
was Of = yellow tinge, and the last
pure milk white. Those who have sse
tho figure never fail to mention it ~
