the British Colonial dependence, and the
new ones came into the Union directly
from a condition of dependence, except
Texas, and even Texas, in its temporary
Independence, was never designated q
State.
The new ones only took the designation
of the State on coming into the Union;
while that name was first adopted for the
old ones in and by the Colonies, were
declared to be free and independet States.
but even then the object plainly was not
to declare their independence Of one an
other, or of the Union, but decidedly the
contrary, and their mutual pledge. and
their mutual action before. at the time,

press plighting of faith By each and all

Union shall be perpetual, is most con-
elusive, having never been States either
in substance or in name outside of the
Union.
Whence the magical omnipotence of
State Rights. asserting claim of power
to lawfully destroy the Union itself?-
Much is said about the sovereignty Of the
States. but the word is not in the Nation

any of the State Constitutions. What is .

try has been called to the proposition,
that one who is sworn to take caro- that
the laws be faithfully executed. should
not himself Violate them.
OF course, some consideration was Civ
en- to the questions of power and proprie-
ty. Before this matter was acted upon,
the whole of the laws which were requir-
ed to be faithfully executed, were being
resisted, and failing of execution in near
ly one-third of the States, must they be
allowed to finally fail Of execution? Even
had it been perfectly clear that. BY the
use of the means necessary to their execu-
tion. some single law made in such ex-
treme tenderness of the citizens liberty,
that practically it relieves more of the
guilty than of the innocent. should to a
very limited extent, be violated. To
state the question more directly. are all
the laws but one to go unexecuted. and
Government itself to 60 to pieces lest that
one be violated? Even in such case
would not the official oath be broken If
the Government should be overthrown,
when it was believed that disregarding
the single law would tend to preserve.
But it is not believed that this question
was presented it was not believed that
any law was violated. The provisions
of the Constitution. that the privilege of
the writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be
suspended unless when, in cases Of rebel
lion or invasion. the public safety may
require it, is equivalent to provision
that such privilege may be suspended
when in cases of rebellion or invasion the
public safety does require it. It was de-
cided, that We have case of rebellion

side of the question voted upon can
scarcely be considered as demonstrating
popular sentiment at such an election.
All that large class who are at once for
the Union and against coercion would
be coerced to vote against the Union.
1t may be affirmed without extravaganza
that the free institutions We enjoy have deyel-
oped the powers and improved the condition of
our people beyond an example in the world
Of this We have striking and impressive il.
lustration. So large an army as the Govern
ment has now on foot was never before known
without soldier in it but who had taken his
place there of his own free choice; but more
than this, there are many single regiments
whose members, one and another, possess
full practical knowledge of all the arts, scien-
ces, professions and whatever else useful or el-
egant is known in the world, and there is
one from which there could not be &C.
lected a President, . Cabinet, Congress, and
perhaps Court abundantly competent to ad-
minister the Government itself Nor do I say
this is not true also in the army of our late
friends, new adversaries, in the contest. But
If it is, 80 much better the reason Why the

For the Grand Haven News.
Ottawa County Bible Society.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the News, of the
9th, there is an account of what is called
the Annual Meeting Of the Ottawa
County Bible Society-as having taken
place in the Presbyterian Church, in this
village, on Sabbath evening, the 9th inst.
1t contains an abstract of the Treasurers
Report, which, to any one who looks at it,
for single moment will be seen to need
some explanation.
Here are two columns of figures, each
in dollars and cents, headed receipts and
disbursements, but what is the nature of
those receipts and Disbursements OF
this the article in question makes no men,
ton. 1t will be seen that in 1851, 1852,
and 1858 the treasury received SAT "a
more than was discussed. We ask why
was this money retained, accumulating
three years9 Why was it not returned
TO the parent society, which needs all the
funds il can get' In 1854, it appears,
that the disbursements exceeded the re-
ceipts by $40 so, yet still leaving a bal
ance in the treasury Of SO %, In 1855
and 1856 there appear no receipts; but
| the disbursements amount to $S9 49,.
This appears strange. No receipts, and
yet $ss s3 disbursed! Are we to un-
derstand that the Treasurer paid this
money out of his pocket9 In 1857 the
receipts again exceed the disbursements
by $50 80, and in 1858 by So 90. In
1850 the receipts are 1904 25, and the
disbursements only ST. SO, leaving in the
hands of the Treasurer 1926 90 unac-
counted for. And lastly, in 1860 the
receipts appear to be 1884 os, and dis
bursements only S495 81, leaving in
hand another balance of $l33 IL unac-
counted for. -,
Now, we suppose the Treasurer can
explain all this; but to the uninitiated it
is dark as the mysteries of the cabala.
Perhaps tho Treasurer has put down his
receipts of bibles and testaments from the
parental society, and his account of sales,
under the head Of dollars and cents, re-
ceived into and paid out Of the treasury.
This makes the transactions of the socie-
ty look large on paper; but then, we ask,
is it comprehensive by the public fol
whose benefit alone the society was insti-
tuted 2 Besides we ask, would this be a
fair statements Does any merchant on
receiving goods from New York enter
them in his own books as cash received,
without any explanation. Why have we
no account of donations, apart from the
sales9 We can not help feeling that the
account needs explanation. Shall We
have ita gssta.
The report Of, the chairman Of the Elk
ecutive Committee needs explanation also,
to which we mean to call attention the
first opportunity. j. ANDERSON.
