In questions IF po,oer then let no more
be said Of confidence IN man, but bind him
doon from mischief By the chains or the
Constitution That this commonwealth
does therefore call on its co-States for an
expression of their sentiments on acts con-
corning aliens, and for the punishment of
certain crimes hereinbefore specified, plain
ly declaring whereby these acts are or are
not authorized by the federal compact
And it doubts not that their sense will be
so announced as to prove their attachment
to limited government, whether general or
particular, and that the rights and liber-
ties of their co-States will be exposed to no
dangers by remaining EN- barked on a COM
mon bottom with their own. But they
will concur with this commonwealth in
considering the said acts as so palpable
against the Constitution as to amount to
an undisguised declaration, that the COM
pact is not meant to be the measure of the
power of the General Government but
that it will proceed in the exercise over
these States of all powers whatsoever
That they will view this as seizing the
rights of the States and consolidating them
in the hands of the General Government,
with power assumed to bind the States
mot merely in cases made fcderal but in
all cases whatsoever, by laws made, not
with their consent, but by others against
their consent; and this would be to sur
render the form of government we have
chosen, and living under one deriving its
power from its will, and not from our au-
thority; and that the costates recurring
to their natural rights not made federal,
will concur in declaring these void and of
no force, and will each unite with this COM
monwealth in requesting their repeal at
the next session of Congress.

OUR HALF.SHEET.

In consequence of the general staguation of
business, and the consequent withdrawal of our
advertising patronage, we have been compelled,
in justice TO ourselves to present our readers with
but halfsheet. In this we promise to furnish
our readers with their usual amount of reading
matter, and of such character and variety as
we hope cannot fail to please and merit the ap-
probation of our patrons.
In indulging the hope that the dark clouds
which now hang over our political horizon may
soon be dispelled by the bright rainbow of peace,
and that the business relations of our State may
soon again wear their former active and prosper
GUS aspect, we promise that we shall be ready
for the times, and at the very earliest opportunity
again return to our full issue. .
We return our friends many thanks for their
former patronage, and urge upon them the inn
portance of sustaining in their county a journal
which is ever ready to advocate their rights,
either in the glory of victory or in the humilia-
iton of defeat

VIRGINIA RESOLUTIONS.
BY JAMES MADISON.

/. Resolved, That the General Assem-
bly, of Virginia doth unequivocally express
"a firm resolution to maintain and defend
the Constitution of the United States,
and the Constitution of this State, against
every aggression, either foreign or domes-
tic, and that they will support the Gov
ernment of tho United G.~tos in all tho
measures warranted by the former.
2. The General Assembly most solemn
ly declares warm attachment to the
Union of the States, to maintain which it
pledges all its powers; and that, for this
end, it is their duty to watch over and op-
pose every infraction of those principles,
which constitute the only basis of that
Union, because faithful observance of
them alone can secure its existence and
the public happiness.
8. That this Assembly does explicitly
and peremptorily declare, that it views
the powers of the Federal Government, as
resulting from the compact, to which the
States are parties as limited by the plain
sense and instrument constituting that
compact-as no further valid than they
are authorized by the grants enumerated
in that compact; and that in case of a de-
liberate, palpable and dangerous exercise
Of other powers not granted by the said
compact, the States aoho are parties thereto,
haze the right and are n, duty bound, to
interpose for arrestimg the progress Of the
cu7, and for maintaining soithn their
respective limits, the authorities, rights and
liberties appertaining to them.
4. That the General Assembly doth
also express its deep regret, that spirit
has in sundry instances, been manifested
by the Federal Government, to enlarge its
powers by forced construction Of the con-
stitutional charter which defines them and
that indications have appeared of design
to expound certain general phrases (Which
having been copied from the very limited
grant of power in the former articles Of
confederation, were the less liable to be
misconstrued,) SO as to destroy the mean
ing and effect of the particular enumera-
ton which necessarily explains, and limits
the general phrases, and so as to CONSOLE
date the States by degrees, into one SOW.

OUR DEFEAT,

In spirit of candor we acknowledge our total
discontinue in the late political contest
On the sixth of November the people of Har-
ford declared that they will stand by the admin
istration of Abraham Lincoln, and maintain the
government in the way marked out by Seward,
Greedy, Giddings, Sumner, Wilson, & Co.; that
they justify violated Constitution, the suppress
sion of law, the nvasions of personal liberty and
private property that they approve of the acts of
the last Congress in voting men and money to
carry on the war, and that they are resolved to
stand by their leaders, and become active parti-
cipators in it.
Our people have been impressed with the idea,
which it appears nothing could remove, through
the Interpretations of a mendacious press, and
of itinerant orators, whose political life or death
was staked upon the success of the Administra-
ton party, that the true design of the friends of
feace hnu 0lt1o avg ifse .stiu was, IL lucy
obtained power, to at once secede and thus draw
upon the State the hostility of the federal govern
ment, with its entire, power and force. Then,
again, our naturalized citizens, with few. noble
exceptions, were, through threats of arrest and
prosecution for treason and for perjury in viola
ting an oath which they never took, intimidated
into voting the war ticket, and it is surmised
that other means and appliances were used cal
culated to coerce unthinking men into its support
But our firm conviction is, that, remove from
the minds of the people of Hartford all fear and
timidity, and a large majority would declare
against the continuance of the war, and the usur-
patton of the federal government, and favor such
an arrangement with the Southern Confederacy
as would insure peace and tranquility to our dis
tracted country. .''' "
As it is, we must hope for the best. The prin-
ciples we avowed, and the measures we advocated
in the late campaign, were honestly entertained
and boldly uttered and, although we failed, we
have the proud satisfaction of having at least
proved by our acts our sincerity in defending
those great birthrights of American freemen,
"The Liberty Of Speech, the Rights Of Con-
science, and the Freedom of the Press"

THURSDAY, FEB. "A, 1861.
SERENE,

when the last apporlionment Of State
taxes was made the townships of Hampt-
on aud Williams were in Saginaw coun.
ty. When Bay county was organized it
included these towns. A State tax
amounting to s1.393 80, has been paid by
Saginaw county for these towns. Sag.
.iuaw county asks the Legislature to or.
der tho Auditor General to charge Bay
county with the same and credit Sagi
nav county. The committee refuse to
recommend the refunding by Bay conn.
ty but admit shat there is at least
seeming injustice in this matter aud a
seeming justice that the same should be
refused, aud in lew of tho cash, give a
little advice or reproof, as follows "The
truth is, the fault WAS in the passage of
the law organizing Bay county, in not
providing for this difficulty, which those
conducting the measure, and having the
interests Of the two counties concerned in
charge, should have seen to it at the
time" Series en- right, The State is
poor and il it can callect tax on these
Towns in two counties, it is all right Of

THE LONDON TINES ON SoUTH CARo
LINA.-The London Tines of Jan. 10,
received by the arabia, has torcible
article on the Manifesto of South Caro-
LIMA, setting forth the utter untenabillity
of the arguments therein used to Justify
Secession, and the false statements there
in made respecting Mr. LINCOLN and the
Republican party. The Tines concludes
its article thus
But what matters all this? Not a
single observation that we have ventur-
ell to make, could be made in the Re-
public of South Carolina, thus auspici-
oulsly taking her place among the nations
of the world. Without law, without
justice without delay, she is trcading in
the path that leads to the downfall OF
nations and the misery Of families. The
hollowness of her cause is seen beneath
all the pomp of her laborcd denunciation,
and surely to her, if to any community
of modern days, may be applied the
words Of the Hebrew Prophet" A
wonderful aud horrible thing IL commit
ted in the land. The Prophets prophesy
falsely, and my people love 10 have Il so. "

Fresh Fish --rh. Meihod of Catch,
,ny Them.

IN
This winter our citizens have been
well supplied with fresh pickerel and
bass, of which our numerous inland
lakes contain ap abundance. Most OF
these fish are caughtby the Indians, aud
the methcd employed is both ingenious
aud eflectaal. A hole is cut through
the ice, over which an Indian stations
himself with spear in one hand, and in
the otherla long line to which decoy
fish is attached. This fine is passed
through the hole in the ice, aud tho fish
seeing the alluring bait which is. fastened
to the line, imagines it to lie real live
minnow, and darts towards its price
Then the man at the aperture in the ice,
with the unerring precision of the prac.
ticed spearman, plunges his barbcd M
strument into his victim On the 9th
inst we saw a sleigli.load Of fish caught
as above described. The entire load
mnst have weighed upwards OF a ton,
aud the fish, mostly pckcrel and bass,
would weigh from three to fifteen pounds
each. -Aiiegan Journal, FsJ.ll. 'iioa ..
This method is adopted here upon the
Bay and Lake, but in the River and
Bayous Gill nets arc passed through
holes in the ice, and slcigh-loads are dali
~ caught in them. Black and Silver
Bass, Perch, Pickerel, Pike Suckers Sc,
arc plenty here all the year 'romd.--

to life and astonish Bridget by R9ppthg
