every county and precinct should be furnished

our party, in every county and neighborhood,

departments are with special reference 70 the
reserved rights Of the States, and are thereby
provided for the protection Of both Federal and
State Governments Sd. Any attempted in
fraction to the violation Of these rights, the
remedy is by an appeal to the modes set forth
in the Constitution, and not by nulIicatiODi
aud. fourthly, when all constitutional means
shall have, fald revolution preferable to further
submission; then they must result to the ulti-
mate ratio, and it would become the true policy
Of the South to secede from the Union. He

OLD Folks CONCERT IN NEWTON FALLs-A
correspondent writing from Newton Falls gives q
description Of 4 somewhat novel concert on the
10Th. The performers were about forty of the
old inhabitants from fifty to eighty years Of age,
led by Mr. Amasa L title, veteran teacher of
sacred music. They sang abe good old fashioned
music which our graadfathers and grandmOthers
sang before we were born, and cur correspondent
assures US they made it all ring again with such
tunes as Greenfield, Greenwich, Sherburn, Delphi,
New Jerusalem, etc. The concert was held in the
Presbyterian Church, and the audience was large.
This was q regular Old Folks Concert, and we
should like to have been there, for we confess to
weakness for old time music. Short speeches
were made between the pieces, and every body had
good time. Three cheers for the Ei5s old Folks
Of NeWtsn Falls.
