mocracy and the Resolutions OF vs. when
means Man. Owning, and so feeble central
Government that it can be severed whenever
the slsve.barons desire. Public opinion, there
fore. as to the necessary powers of the General
Government is undergoing change, and it will
certainly settle down on the dogma-that the
Federal power, aud the phenomena OF that
power must be made equal to the permanent
existence or preservation Of the Union. Ii
national education be required to hold it to-
rether, national education must be made con-
stitutonal. Nothing must override the Union.
The opinions of the Father OF tho Republic
were very diverse on this subject Of national
Education. Washington, for long time, held
that National University was equally consti-
tutional and advisable, but finally gave way on
the question of constitutonality. Hamilton
was always for the permanent strength OF ma
tionality, and believed that the spirit and means
of the Government should most favor federal
ism. because history showed that nations fell
always not through the strength but the weak
ness of the central Government. The Federal
party with Washington at their head, was COM
posed Of some of the purest and nobleSt men VINO
ever shone in history: they were, however, de-
nounced ns aristOcrats when their whole theory
had nothing to do with aristocracy, but SIMPLY
as to whether more or less power was neces-
sary to hold the Union together. Some errors
committed in the excess OF their patriotism,
and of their efforts to preserve the integrity OF
the infant Republic-among which we may
recite the Alien and Sedition Laws, contributed
to their final overthrow; but it took many years
10 eradicate them: one OF the members OF the
Federal party was james buchanan. AS II
became dilapidated, he pfudently stepped Over
to the opposite side.
Our Texan correspondence likewise urges
system of education for the freed negroes,
and opposes, from his experience IN Texas
the foreign Colonization scheme. All these
grave questions will come up for discussion III
due time. 1t is sufficient for the public
to be admonished that with Peace will come
new national necessities; and that the power
of this people to exist, prosper, and advance,
without fear of future rebellion, and so united
in sentiment aud action that treason Will be-
come impossible, must be assured by whatever
new constitutional provisions time and expert
encs show to be necessary. The States-Rlghts
School of Mr.. Calhoun has been tried: it has
resulted in the effort, almost achieved,
to make all territory slage'territory; and to
make all States Slave States, for time a.
Grst-but simply thus tentatively until they
were assimilated 10 the Maynard Sisters; i.
has resulted, too, in the Civil War raging
the most extensive in history, with horrible
waste of blood and treasure; and an agonizng
uncertainty for tho nation. The small polill-
clan who desires to assemble his followers by
such States. Rights ideas in future will fail.
The common sense Of the nation will teach
them always to preserve individual liberty,
when Slavery has no existence in the country.
The question Of States.Rghts cannot then be
made the formidable bugbear and the success.
full sham which it has been.
