The great trouble with sewing machines, thus
far, has been that those which are good for any.

cheaper ones were made So imperfect that they

United states and state Authority

We notice that a question has been
raised under the new tax law of some
interest to temperance men The law
requires every keeper of a place where
beer, wine or liquors are sold to pay
an annual license of $40. The ques-
tion is: Can any one paying that Ii
cense keep retail liquor, beer or
wine establishment, even though the
State laws prohibit such places? 1t is
a question Of interest to States rights
as well as to the cause of temperance.
We do not think the payment of such
license confers any right, on the per-
son paying it, to sell Intoxicating
drinks in defiance of State prohibition.
Wherever such drinking establishments
are permitted, either by law or by neg,
lect of officers to enforce State prohi-
bition, to exist, the proprietors must
pay the license. The fact that such
persons pay an United States license
does not give them any exemption, in
our opinion, from State authority. In
other words, the United States Gov
crnment cannot, by simply requiring
a person doing a particular business to
pay a license or tax therefor, divcst
the State Government of its local con.
troll over that business; otherwise the
General Government might usurp un-
limited control over the domestic and
local affairs Of the people Of the States.

President had issued approximation
declaringthe existence,of insurrection
and calling for seyenty-fve thousand

pretended, as Douglas did, the magni-

A United North

We hear much talk among office
holders and anxious expectants about
a united North. It's strange, indeed,
that all intelligent men cannot see that
there can only be united North, on
the platform of the Constitution. That
is the only bond Of Union to which the
States, or the people of the States,
have ever subscribed. There they owe
their only allegiance. There can be a
united North in favor of upholding the
authority of that instrument, and the
Union founded upon it, with all the
blood and treasure of the Nation-but
there cannot be aunited North on any
other basis-on the theory of an Abo-
lition crusade, or of reconstruction of
the Union under some new Constitu-
ton, or new form of compact: We
will all unite to maintain the old Con-
stitution, to restore the old Union, but
we will not unite to revolutionize the
Government, on the idea of establish
ing some Utopian or humanitarian sys-
TEN on its ruins, A united North can
at once be secured, if the Abolitionists
will dismiss their revolutionary plans
and theories, and directly, and in good
faith, labor to maintain the Constitu-
ton as it is, and the Union as it was.
This is the real touchstonel of loyalty
for every citizen .l... IL a.. ..-n.-, -
