HOODS SEASON.

Summers gone and vcrol
Fogs are falling down;
And with russett tingcs
Autumn's doing brown,
Boughs are daily riasd
BY the gusty thieves,
And the Book Of Nature
Getteth short Of leaves.
Round the tops OF houses,
Swalows, as they ilit,
Give, like yearly tenants,
Notices to quit.

A Conflict Of Authority.

1he Conscription Bill recently passed by
congress provides among the other things
lor rrovost Marshals for,each Congressional
District with power to detect, seize. and
conhne suspected spies of the enemy, and
report to the Provost Marshal General at
" Washington all reasonable practices. &c.
&C
On the contrary the act passed bv our
Legislature TO Prevent Illegal Arrests in
tnls State provides that any person who
snail arrest, cause, procure or aid in the
arrest OF any white citizen or nonresident
other than blythe process ofcivil law or such
persons abducted or carried from the State
be delivered up upon the demand of tho
Executive Of some other State; or persons
causing the arrest by oath or affirmation of
any person in the limit of the State bv anv
person acting under the military authority
OF any other State, or the United States. and
not acting by virtue of Lya process shall be
deemed guilty of felony and be fined not
less than $500, nor more than $1,000. and
be imprisoned not less than six months nor
more than two years.
Here is a hitch" right in the onset
The United States says such things shall be
done; the State of Delaware DRAWING her.
self up at full length, and throwing herself
back on her reserve (State) Rights saws
they shall not be done and if the United
States persists in her impertinent acts she
will punish her and learn her how to mind
her Ps and Qs.
How unthoughted in Congress in rnr-
nrng " "tilt" with the great State of Della
ware or rather her sapient Legislature.
They should by all means have written to
DR. Salisbury and asked permission of Del
aware to incorporate such provisions in the
U. ). Laws. AS it is, there is danger of a
serious conflict in which, on account Of tho
superior prowess of its little giant y ant.o
onlst, the General Government must CO.
