About State SOyereigntIes.

The following is one ofthe resolutions
passed by the late democratic State
Convention Of Pennsylvania
Rcsolreg, As we have no State candidate
to present to the people, and no issue in
volved in the coming election other than
those which affect the welfare and liberties
of our sister States equally with ours, we
leave il TO our representatives in the Chica-
20 Convention 10 unite with the representa-
tives Of other sOyereiCnties Of the North in
embOdying the sentiment of the people in
the declaration of principles, acceptable
to all the States, on whom we rely to elect q
President, and bring back peace TO this dis
tracted land.
The resolution endorses the Calhoun
theory that the States are sovereign ;
and then, Of course, the constitution Of
the United States, is no other than a
mere treaty. Ifso; if the States be
sovereign, then they have right to
withdraw from the Union at pleasure.
A sovereign has no superior; and con
sequently can do as may seem best
Grant this position and the most rab-
id rebels must be satisfied. The Union
would be of no value whatever; but
rather a stumbling block, potent to get
the country into trouble but powerless
TO get it out But then JEFF Davis com
mands the democracy TO take this posi-
ton, and they must obey.

Polk ReInforeIng Johnston.

IL is now said that Gen. Leonidas
Polk is reinforcing Gen Joe Johnston
and We presume, in this instance, the
dispatches have hit upon the truth.
There is now no longer any advantage
gained by an occupation Of Mississippi
and Alabama. Hitherto, with a force
of few thousand, Polk could contin-
ually threaten the Mississippi river
but since the destruction of the Rail
road to Meridian, the posts in that State
are entirely safe from assault Polk
could never penetrate so far, without a
Railroad, unless by endangering his
command
On the other hand, our forces are so
distributed as TO preclude the posi-
bility of another advance from Vicls-
burg for the present Therefore, Polk
army, and also portion of Long
streets, viii join Johnston; and the re-
mainder of the latter command will
unite with Lee
We believe the Charleston, and Sa-
vannah troops viii also be drawn in,
and joined to one of the main bodies
of the enemy, which viii make them
pretty formidable armies.

Relief for East Tennesseans.

The fund for the relief OF the people
of East Tennessee, has, throughout the
North, reached nearly 100000: Of
which sum the penurious Yankees of
Massachusetts, contribute ST ,Sl3 Mr.
Everett prints a daily list Of sub
scriptions, averging about $1,000;
and before the first Of May, if is highly
probable that New England viii contri-
butte at least quarter Of million to
the suffering loyalists Of East Tennessee.
The money comes from all sources;
from almost every man whose name is
eminent commercially, or politically, or
socially, or professionally 1t seems TO
have been a matter Of honor among the
solid men of Boston to give to this
fund.
The agent who was sent out to distri-
butte the first instalment Of the fund,
has returned to New York, and informs
the Tribune that he vas called on to
relieve not mere suffering and want, but
absolute restitution Thousands Of
loyal men and women have lost liter
ally everything by their fidelity to the
Union, and are to day dependent on the
army commissariat for food Their
farms have been rayaged; they need
tools, stock, seed, and the means of
hiring labor, TO resume their cultivation
They have no houses left They are
like a people suddenly planted in the
midst Of a fertile country, compelled to
trust to their own industry, but without
any means to make it productive. The
charity which they will accept is not to
support them idle What can a few
hundred thousand dollars do for the
population of half a State2 1t is to
put them once more on their feet to
enable them to live in the country they
have nobly defended to make the ter
ritory again capable Of feeding the
Union armies.
1t is to be hoped that the money col
lected win be appropriated as speedily
as possible We know something of
the restitution existing in the mountain
regions of this State; we witnessed it,
in all its horrors, in December last; and
it has no doubt increased since that
time.
The country is fertile, and the people
are industrious; but they have neither
animals, farming utensils, nor seed
grain; and their farms are uninclosed
This summer they viii be protected,
and they can raise good crops, if they
can only got q fair start

The Generals Smith.

The great number Of Generals Smith
has given rise to a great deal Of confu-
sion, and the New York Times attempts
10 explain the matter 1t says that "a
misinformed contemporary violently
abuses General W F. Smith, recently
confirmed as Major General in the
regular army, because as it says he
failed in the recent cavalry expedition
in Mississippi The commander ofthat
expedition was Brigadier General w.
S. Smith. There are FIVE or more Gen
eral Smiths in the army Major Gen
eral w F. Smith, now acting on Gen
eral Grants staff; Brigadier General
w. Sooy Smith, mentioned above;
Brigadier General Giles A. Smith, who
commanded a division in Shermans
18th Corps, and was wounded at Mis-
sionary Ridge; Brigadier General
A. J. Smith, commandinga division in
the 18th Corps, and in charge of the
successful expedition up hcd river;
Brigadier General NJ J.. Smith com
handing a brigade of the infantry
somewhere out West; and Major Gen
eral Charles F. Smith, who was second
in command to General Grant at Fort
Donelson'
The Times, explanation Is about as
full Of errors as the original paragraph
it would correct In the first place
Giles f. Smith commanded brigade,
and Morgan L. Smith, dioisioa of the
18th Corps; while its "a J. Smith is
John E. Smith; and instead of COM
manding a division in the 18th, it was
IN the 18th CORPS.
