STATE RIGHTS,

The democratic" party in the State
Of Ohio has taken its position as un-
equivocally us it usually does upon
any question, in favor of the doctrine
of State Rights. Not as conceded by
all parties, that State has the right
to regulate its internal affairs in its own
way, subject only to the Constitution
of the United States and the laws made
In pursuance Herewith; but on the
broad theory that State is q ''sover-
eighty" and as such 10 and can be
bound only so far as 1t in its sovereign
capacity has delegated authority to the

right and duty of State to interpose,
to arrest the efforts of the General
Government to enforce any unauthor'
ized or dangerous power.
Mr.. MADISON In his address, which
is also part of the "Democratic"
platform, explaining the Resolutions
after they had been repudiated by nine
States to which they had been submit
ted for endorsement, uses the follow
ing language in reference to them:
1.-THE States. then, boing the parties to
the Constitutional compact, and ia their
sovereign capacity ii, follows NECESSARILY, that
there can be no tribunal above their au.
thority. to decide on the last resort, whether
compacts made by them be violated and
consequently, that, as the parties toit, they
must themselves decide in the last resort,
such questions as may be Of sufficient mag
nitude to require their interposition.
This is certainly very explicit, and
there is very little room for argument
upon the subject; but the Kentucky
Legislature, apprehensive that some
persons might not fully understand the
doctrine Of estate Rights" as its au-
thors understood and interpreted it,
the year after the adoption of the above
resolution, passed the following expo
sition of 1t: >.
That if those who administer the general
government be permitted to transgrsss the

The GLAssBLowBRs.-The ingenious

able to elbow gentle breezes " for their
own smooth sailing. The city of Bur-
lington seems to constitute rather a
stormy headland for these adventurers
to round. We have already chroRicled
briefly their affairs with Mr.. Nash of the
Revere House, Brattleboro. 1t now ap
pears that in settling for the use of the
Hall in this place, they paid Mr. Baldwin
the keeper, two counterfeit bills, and
were then slightly In arrears. On ascer-
tanning that the bills were worthless,
our authorities sent a request to the
Blowers that they should remit some
good money in full payment OF their
indebtedness; but they, the Glass Blow
ers, denied all knowledge Of any coun-
terssit bills. They were then ordered to
be arrested, whercupon they forke6 over

The SEouEL.-We are now prepared to
speak definitely with regard to the net
proceeds of the squirrel hunt mentioned
in the HERALD about three weeks ago.
The mink skin sold for seven dollars.
Day before yesterday MIR. Massey obtain
ed some choppers and felled the bee-tree.
In falling, the tree was considerably
split, and through one of the clefts the
honey poured forth in a sheet two or
three feet wide, as Massey expressed it
like waterfall. By setting pals un-
derneath considerable portion was
saved. The necessary chopping was
thOn performed, and the honey secured.
Three men ate wnaJ They wanted on the
spot, and the balance over and above
what was wasted, when brought home,
weighed 10S pounds, the market value
of which is certainly not less than 25
cents pound. Mink and honey sounds
little like milk and honey and both
expressions denote richness. In hunt
ing squirrels, some people get more than
they bargained for.

$50, and the value of goods imported
Sl.2560S4. During the same months of
1865 the value Of dry goods imported
for home consumption amounted to
$40 29S. .995, and the amount of gold
sent Off was s5 100000. In 1854 the
amount Of gold shipped from New York
during the two months 4,c,ejei tha
amount received from California by sS..
96o.76S, and the price of gold rose to
29O. During the same months in 1865.
we received from California upwards of
one million more than was exported.
From these facts the lecturer arrives at
the conclusion that the price of gold Is
increased or decreased by the ratio of
supply and demand, rather than by its
relations to the paper currency; and
furthermore "when our exports shall
exceed our imports, and our debts shall
be paid, the balance OF trade will bring
back gold. 1t has done this heretofore
Then, with the constantly increasing
supply from California, demand for
gold will cease, and 1t will fall below
bank credit, because our good govern
ment and good laws make good credit
better than gold. Imports must be
diminished, exports must be increased.
and we shall soon be out of debt"
We have not space to follow the au.
thor further at this time. The lecture
was perhaps prepared with some refer.
ence to the approaching session of Con-
gress, and it deserves to be read atten-
lively by the members of that body, as
well as by thoughtful and intelligent
citizens generally.
