TYLER ON COERCIoN.-ln his message to the
House of Representatives, April 8, 1874, Presi
dent Tyler said that he had been called upon by
| the Governor Of Rhode Island to fulfil the guar
| antics of the Constitution by protecting the
State against domestic violence and foreign
| INVASION" and he could not assume to decide
| ION which side the majority lay, the extent
of the rights OF a mere numerical MAJORITY
Such prerogotive would make him ''the great
| Constitution maker for the States
The ground was thus practically assumed and
| acted upon, that the people of a State have no
right, either by majority or the whole, to alter
| their government on their own notion or in any
way except through the agency of the existing
Government. In other words, the President OF
the United States, in the fulflment of his oath
to execute the laws, can recognise no change of
government which is not in accordance with the
existing constitution and laws, and under the
authority of existing governments.
Now, none of the alleged changes of govern
ment in the Southern States have been made in
conformity with the existing constitution and
laws of those States. On the contrary, every
one of them has been made in direct violation
of the Constitution and laws of the United
States, whose authority is paramountto both the
constitution and laws OF the several States, and
to every form of authority which can possibly
be created by State. ~
1t follows that, (settiDg aside the fact of not
one of these alleged changes having ever been
adopted or sanctioned by the people,) the Pres
ident of the United States cannot recognise any
act of any body of men in State as having gov
Ornamental authority or legal validity, unless it
has been done in conformity both with the State
Constitution and the laws of the Union. These
we're Tyler's and Calhoun's doctrines a few years
ago. and we should like to know what has since
occurred to change the principle.-N. 7. Eve.

salutations, and among them an interesting lady
leading two beautiful children One after the

pressed upon their cheeks a parental kiss, which
was proper and very republican. But when the

The purpose of this loan presents an appeal
to the patriotism of the people, which must Sc
cure its being promptly taken up. 1t is need
less to enlarge on the momentous consequences
dependent on the prompt completion of the
loan. Apart from considerations of patriotisni,
the bonds present the most advantageous invest
ment of money which can be made. The inter-
est is large, and the security superior to any
other that can be offered. The citizens of
Charleston and of the State are called upon to
come forward promptly and take up the loan.
