Such is the Georgis platform, and the Rich

Such is certainly the case with regard TO us,
sad We srs wholly a. 3 loss even 70 conjecture
what we have done to e15ils Us to such = class
si6eation. We rave on more than one occasion
conbst!ed Tie idea that it is compliant for the

We are and svsr have been q arm believer il
and 3 strong sihsTsnt to the doOtTine Of Stats
rights and Stale sovereignty, as taught and
illustrated By JEFFERSON, MADIsoN and
CALHOUs, but we nave never gone to the ex-
tent attributed to Us By our Charlottesville CO
temporary, sor WeTs We aware that any such
i~DciPieRt party was in existence until The
ckrssiels revealed the fact. Even now, we are
very muck inclined to doubt It.
Tbsrs is 10 proposition more ssf evident, sim

have parted with the right of making both peace
and Wsr TIE exeEciss OF these powers has
been delegated to tho general GoFsTnnent, and
