State Rights and the Confederacy.

The pestilent heresy of State Rights, which has
been employed so successfully against the Federal
government, has become troublesome at the South
under the pleasant rule Of JEFF. Davis. 1t is one
of the peculiar beauties Of the doctrine, that it al
lows State to do as it pleases, and would there
fore be quite likely to commend itself to dissatis-
fed, uneasy spirits and this has ever given it
great popularity among the reckless aristocratic
shareholders. Jeff. Davis and his co-consrirators,
having employed it with eminent success in bring
ing about the revolt of the insurgent States, have
now the privilege of studying its disorganizing
doctrines in their own bogus government. The
chicken has come home to roost, and gives prom
Use of being as much curse to its parents, as it
has been to the federal Union.
Georgia, the largest and most powerful State,
except Virginia. in the rebel Confederacy, is kick
ing against the CONSUMPTION law of the rebel Con-
gress. The Richmond Dispatch of the LIST inst gives
an account of the case of James w. Layingood an
enrolled conscript, suing for his liberty. 1t was
tried before Judge I. W. Thomas, Ebert county,
Georgia Superior Court, last week, and decision
given liberating the plaintiff from the hands of the
enrolling officer. The Judge pronounced the
conscript act' unconstitutional, and therefore
the act itself and all regulations and orders based
upon it are likewise void Though this particular
case is new, it is yet known that jeff Davis and
me Governor OF Georgia long ago had tilt, on
which, if Davis got the better Of the Governor in
argument, he certainly didn't follow up his advan-
tase by enforcing the law in the Governors bail-
wick, but sraciously informed him that the Con-
:5derate powers were abundantly supplied from
me voluntary patriotism of his State. And this
Old theory of State Rights is not confined in its
particular working to Georgia. North Carolina
.1as also exhibited symptoms of the same kind of
differentiation, and Gov. Vance recently in his
inaugural address, INDUCED in very plain talk to
the Davis government. And we now know that
Virginia is only kept from indicating this same
superiority of State to federal sovereignty, by the
presence of the rebel government and the Con

mission by the strong arm Of military power In
short, the South has everywhere by its education,
and by the teachings ofthe arch.raitors who have
led her to her rebellion, sown the seeds of disor-
gani@tion and anarchy, which cannot fail in their
legitimate fruits to destroy any government which
retains any similarity to our Republic. The Con-
federacy is now kept together only by force, and
by the union that grows out of common interests
ana common danger. If it should succeed in
It's resistance TO the federal power, and establish
what it is pleased to call its independence its only
escape from speedy anarchy would be into nil
.tary despotsm. And it is that already in fact,
whatever else it may be in name.
