NJ. De TocoUEvILLE on THE Press
But in the countries in which the doc
trine Of the Sovereignty of the people
ostensibly prevails. the censorship of the
Press is not ouly dangerous, but is ab-
surd. Where the right of every citizen
to cooperate in the government Of socie-
ty is acknowledged, every citizen must
be presumed to possess the power of dis
eliminating between the different opin-
ions of his cotemporaries, aud of appre-
ciating the different facts from which
differences may be drawn. The sover-
cignty of the people and the liberty of the
press may therefore be looked upon an
correlative institutions; just as the Gems, r
ship of the press and universal suffrage are
two things which are irrecoucilably op-
posed, and which cannot long be retained
among the institutions of the same people.
Not single individual of the twelve mil
lions who inhabit the territory of the
United States has ss yet dared u pro-
pose any restrictions to the liberty Of
the press"

SUPPORTING rHI Govx.sMxsr.-We
live in curious times, when common sense
is of NO sort of use whatever for some pur-
poses. where it was formerly all that was
needed. We hear of some journal. which
support the Administration" and of 9th
ers which do not. When We examine the
former We find what 10 called supporting
the Government. 1t appears to consist
Of two points. They steadily and furi-
ously attack the Cabinet. declare that the
people have no confidence in Que and
another member, and demand that the
President shall revise his Council, aud re-
move the Chiefs from the most impor-
tant departments. This 10 the first aud
main evidence Of hearty support of the
Government. and the second is like to it..
They devote their attention to leading in
stead Of following the Administration; 10
informing the Administration that the peo-
pie demand this. or the people demand
that; aud thus embarrassing the judgmen,
or hindering the free exercise Of that judg-
ment in every man who exercises authori.
ty. from the President down.

He says if Pennsylvania has any laws in.
fringing the rights Of any Of the States, or
which contravene any Federal law or OBJ
struct its execution, they ought to be re-
pealsd. She never has faltered in the re-
oognizing Of all the duties imposed BY the
national compact, and will by every act
consistent with devotion to the interests Of
her people, promote fraternity and peace
between the States. When her trade was
prostrated and her industry paralized by
legislation of the General Government ia
voring adverse interests, Pennsylvania
waited patiently for another opportunity TO
declare the public will In constitutional
manner. At the late election, protection to
labor was the great principle inscribed on
the banner of his party, yet she had no de-
sign TO interfere with or abridge the rights
of ether States. Though the State has suf-
fered from adverse legislation, no voice of
disloyaliy or treason, nor arm has been
raised to strike al the sacred fabric of our
national Union.
II will be our duty to unite with the
people Of the loyal States on just and hon.
orable measures of conciliation. If they
are just and moderate, the danger may be
averted. Ours is a national government,
having all the attributes Of sovereignty,
and among them is the right Of self -preser-
walton. No State or combination of States
can secede or absolve themselves from the
obligations Of the Union. To permit this
without the consent of the rest, is to con-
Tess the government failure. Pennsylva.
MIA will never acquiesce in such conspira.
cy, nor assent to q doctrine involving the
destruction of the government. If it is to
exist, it must have the power adequate to
the enforcement Of the supreme law in ev-
cry State. 1t is the first duly of the Fed
erai Government 10 stay the progress Of
anarchy and enforce the laws. Psnnsylva-
MIA will give it a united, honest and faithful
support. The people mean TO preserve the
integrity of the Union at every hazard
Amendments TO the Constitution, made in
q constitutional manner. the people will
consider and act as deliberately upon as
