Paramount ALE glance.

Much stress has been laid by many on
the necessity Of incorporating into our
Constitution declaration Of the acknow-
ledgment by our people of the doctrine of
the paramount authority of the Govern
ment of the United States over those of
the several States. We never could ex-
actly see the point, inasmuch as according
to our views the settlement of the relations
existing between the States and the Fede-
raj Government was already fixed by
power higher than any State Constitution.
Nevertheless, it is one of those things
which "can do no harm, if it does not do
any good" and it goes to show the world
that our sentiments on the question of
unconditional patriotism are eminently
sound. The following is the amendment
proposed by Mr.. Stark, and fnally-after
much archaeological;
"But the paramount allegiance Of every
citizen is due to the Federal Government in
the exercise of all authority conferred by the
Constitution of the United States, which con-
fers full power to maintain and perpetuate its
existence by resort to arms against domestic
as we'll as foreign foes and no power exists
in the people of this or any other State of the
Federal Union to dissolve their connection
Herewith, or perform any act tending to inn
pair, subyert or resist the supreme authority
of the Government of the United States"
That knocks the doctrine of secession as
cold as wedge, and if it will only disgust
the resident chivalry sufficiently to drive
them out of the country, it will serve
some purpose.

DiOgenes.

Our neighbor of the Bulletin don't like
to have US doubt his wolf stories. We
did not say we didn't believe the "yarn;"
we merely suggested the cases of Anna
MAS of old, and Mark Twain of modern
fame, and the Doctor comes back at us
thus:
ave have been connected with the press
for upwards of quarter of a century, and
Of course in that time have written some;
but we defy any one to prove that we ever
penned an mtruth from design, either as
joke or for any other purpose"
That lets us out. We weaken! Been
an editor twenty-five years, and never!
Well, we believe the wolf story now-or
anything else. AS far as that COMPARE
SON about old Diogenes and his tub, and
"seeking, after truth" is concerned, we
can only say, that when we read that wolf
story in the Bulletin, we were not look
ing for the truth at all. So, there, now -
In further explanation, the Bulletin says:
"But joking aside-the fact is as we stated
it, and as we stated the name Of the claim on
which the man attackedworked, if the "local
items" of the News was in doubt Of its truth,
it would have been quite as well had he in
quired for himself before he accused US Of
penning wilful untruth."
So did Mark Twain designate precisely
the locality Dutch Nicks,) where the
red-haired scalp was torn from the head
The fact is, the wolf story reminds US of
the fellow who once swore that he carried
bull weighing two thousand pounds for
the distance of mile-and offered to
prove it by showing the built

MEnrcins Civilizations,

Cnderfhis head, the Enterprise, proba-
bly, alluding to the tone of recent articles
in this and other papers in this Territory
and California, in reference to UNPUBLISHED
crime, has all article which is most ele-
gantly written, and as specimen of good
English composition is creditable to the
author. The argument, however, is not
in our opinion sound. The writer says
"No community springs from its first rude
state to condition of perfect civilization. 1t
must pass successfully through all the inter-
mediate stages. If any are impatient of its
progress, they must stiAe their Impotence
and rely with faith on the upward tendency
of all public sentiment, because it is idle to
attempt to force popular morality beyond its
own natural course.
"There are those who appear to think that
action on the part of the authorities could
wipe out the vices and evils that infest our
community, and make it at once model Of
purity and refinement. DO they not consider
that evil has power and vitality the same as
good; that it is seated like vicious disease
in the body polite, and if suppressed in a
certain shape or place viii be sure to break
out in another. The certain cure is not in
eradcating its external symptoms. The en-
tire system must be purified; and as that
gains strength and better tone, the disease
will gradually disappear Of itself. Time and
the free exercise and growth of healthier
sentiment are the surest and speediest reme-
dies. We see their beneficial effects daily.
We see our community advancing slowly but
surely IN moral and social refinement, and
are satisfied, without vainly endeavoring to
force our civilization
We concur with our contemporary that
the slow but certain development of a
higher and higher state Of civilization
through an upward tendency of public
sentiment has been the rule in most coun-
tries, but it is also true, that that progress
has kept pretty even pace with the pun
ishment of ofenses against the law. Per-
feet immunity for crime IS certainly not
one of the stepping stones to high pin
nacle Of social purity. The concluding
sentences of the above quoted paragraph
are somewhat stunning. There has been
something in the atmosphere. of Virginia
lately that has caused sort of mirage
that is unaccountable. Our Virginia re-
porter yesterday Informed the world
through tAe columns of our paper that,
notwithstanding the storm, the roads
are in good condition" This intelligence
astonished even the Enterprise: Yet that
"daily advancement in moral and social
refinement" is as invisible to us, and we
think to the world at large as those "good
roads," under the hallucination of which
our reporter labors. If the good people
of other lands who read the extract quoted
from the Enterprise have the files of that
paper for few weeks past, they will Won
der, indeed, what must have been our
earlier social condition, if the present is
an improvement thereon.

"AND" AND "OR."-As our friend of
the Bulletin very justly hints to the Con-
vention, there is a vast difference between
the little words sand" and "or," and in
the " Treason" clause Of the Constitution,
IS that instrument now stands before its
trainers, the use of the cor" in place of
the "and" would make the whole clause
imperative, and void in ninety-nine cases
in every hundred. The conjunctive "and'
makes it necessary that every act consti-
tuting treason should be proven in each
case. The Constitution of the United
States defines treason thus: Treason
shall consist only in levying war against
them, or in adhering to their enemies,
giving them aid and comfort" In our
Constitution the word and is used in place
of or. We join our voice with that Of our
contemporary in urging the adoption Of the
