Tie Old Doctrine of State Rights Re.
yived

IF ole reason more than another was
given by the Radicals for levSing war on the
Southern States, that reason was
thar National authority and National laws
we're supreme and superior to mere State
laws, and that no State, however much she
might feel aggrieved at Congressional enact
,neuts, had no right to abrogate those laws,
but must suffer and bear it to the end of
time without redress. But, curious as 1t
may seem, the seeded States, previous 20
secession, drew their inspiration from and
were taught to spit ppon the national gov
ernmeBt from the very men and party who,
after their teachings had taken hold of the
Southern heart, proceeded with armies to
Kill, burn and destroy in the name of a
National government, one and lndivisable.
We have lately peruscd memorial OF
s. VI. Booth to the Wisconsin Legislature
praying that $4,000 be granted to him
from the State Treasury to reimburse him
for money spent and injuries suffered for a
date covering some ten years back, not for
unfolding governmental authority, but for
setting its laws at defiance and acting and
unfolding the doctrine that State laws were
superior TO National laws, and that indiyid-
uals should be governed by the decisions of
the former instead Of the latter, whenever
they clashed.
How Mr. Booth and his party upheld
the doctrince of State Rights when it was
their interests to do so, we will let Mr..
Booth tell. 10 part cf his memorial he
says:
Whatever | have done in this case has
been done in accordance with Estatel law,
and was authorized and sanctioned both by
the separate and the concurrent action of
all the departments Of the state govern
ment. Nay, was invited, by the action
OF the supreme court, the executive, and
the legislature OF the state, 10 the course |
pursued IN the civil suits. | acted, too, in
accordance with the prevailing public eenti-
inent Oh the state. 1t was the public senti
ment. too, expressed in various methods,
that ought not to suffer pecuniary loss, but
should DC made whole, by the state, for my
defence OF Its declared policy, and the
rights and liberties of the people. And
during the passage Of the law enacted OH
this subject, tie assembly adopted provi-
sion, that the state would pay all expenses
incurred il defending suits under the fugi-
tive act.
This was the doctrine which, in a few
years from the occurrences alluded to by
Booth, were adopted, after much reluc-
lance. by a majority of the people of the
Southern States. These doctrines when
adopted by them were oyerthrown by the
strong hand of the United States military.
and tho chief upholder of them ignonimous-
" incaFcera,ed in a Fortress by the sea, ~
while one Of the original expounders and
promulgators Of them is seeking pecuDiary
reward from State Treasury
Such is Que Of the many inconsistencies
of Radicalism. There is no question of the
day on which they have not upheld and
advocated exactly opposite views. Verify, it
IS progressire party.

Friends meet to part,
Love laughs at faith;
True foes once met
Are Joined till death. BYRON.
Friends you may meet at mass, or masquerade,
At nuptial fete, or at funeral
At morn or even, in sunshine or in shade,
When fortune fayors, or when woes appal
Low sycophants who at your feet will fall,
And fill your ear with fulsome, cloying praise,
If you have wealth, position, rank, and all
The pride, and pomp, and pelf of power to daze
The mental throng, and WOO, and win the vul-
gar gaze.
But should adversely your prospects mar,
And fortune frown where once she deigned to
smile,
Your friends will soon forsake your waning star,
Nor still the tedium of your cares beguile
With honied hattery and though awhile
A few may cling to your disastrous fate,
It's but to gather plumber from the spoil

A fond regret, or cen a sad farewell;
Or Death that dreaded demon, sounds the knell

Naught now finds favor but conceptions wild

Opposing movements fancifully foiled
Fantastic visions of fair fields well fought

A Row IN A CHURCH.-On Tuesday
evening scene of somewhat unusual
character occurred in the Methodist Epis-
copal church, Allegheny, Pa. An evening
meeting was in progress there, and in at
tendance were two women occupying the
same pew. One of them suddenly recog-
nized in the other person with whom she
had accused her husband of having impro-
per intimacy. She determined to have a
distinct understanding about the matter
there and then, and commenced her accus-
atoms against the other in an audible
whisper. The responses were equally We.
hement, and at last the conversation became
so vigorous as to disturb the service and at
tract the attention of all present. Shortly
all attempts to subdue their voices ceased,
and the wordy war waged unrestrained. At
length the opponents took position in the
aisle, and commenced vigorous hand to.
hand fight, scratching, pulling hair, and
clapper- clawiDg generally At last they
were separated, and put out of the church.

Democratic Convention.

We find the following call for a National
Democratic Convention III one Of our ex-
changes.
There will be United States National
Democratic Convention held in the city OF
Louisville, Kentucky, organizing at II O.
clock, noon, On Tuesday, May 2, 1867, on
which occasion the Democrats Of the Uni
ted States are invited to meet for the pur-
pose Of consultation and a reorganization
of the party, and for the defending of the
Constitutional liberties of the States and
the People
Every Congressional District in the Uni
ted States, from Maine to California, will
be entitled to two representatives in the
Convention, and there will also be one
from each State and Territory at large to
be elected by the district Delegates, and II
is suggested that notice be given by the
Democrats of each District, and the afore-
mentioned delegates be elected soon as pos.
sible.
The object of the above National Demo.
cratic Convention Is to reOrgon'ze for ricto
ry on the basis of the principles of our Fa,
thers-equality of States-no taxation with.
out representatlon-equa taxation, law,
order and domestic tranquility.
Let the memories and examples Of the
past-the darkness of the future, and the
hopes of posterity be our guide and oul
strength in this great effort in defense Of
the Right, the principle of Liberty and the
success of that self-g0vernment which de-
rivcs its strength and support from the con
sent of the governed.

LEGISLATIVE PUGILIsM.-A fracas oc
Cured in the Illinois Legislature on the
18th ult. between two honorable members
from Chicago. Mr.. Singer spoke OF some
measure as lone of Mr.. Shepard's steals, y
and added that Mr.. Shepard had been in
the stealing business ever since he came to
Springfield. Thereupon that gentleman
refuted the assertion by striking Mr.. Sin
ger in the face. The blow does not seem tc
have been entirely successful as it did not
upset the strtkee, or even draw the claret.
MIR. Shepards pugilistic efforts must be
more artistic before he can aspire to con-
greSsional honors.

EMANCIPATION IN CATHOLIC BRAZIL. -
The Emperor of Brazil has lately liberated
all the national slaves an immense number,
the profits of whose labors were enjoyed by
the Emperor. Thus has it ever been !;
Catholic countries, princes. and ecclesias-
ties. have ever been in the van Of any
movement towards rightful and beneficial
liberty There is little doubt but that so
noble Christian example by their sover-
eign will be initiated by many of the peo-
pie, and will thus inaugurate movement
that will eventually bring about general
emancipation IN Brazil - Cath, Tesc1ruph.

gI- The secret dislike felt by the Radi-
Gals for General Grant is shown by their
treatment of his bill transferring the Indian
Bureau from the Interior to the War De-
partment The public will remember the
reports of Generals Grant, Sherman, and
Pope, showing the necessity for the change;
the corruption incident to the present ar
engagements, and the embittered feeling and
wars with the Indians they produced
The bill was drawn up by Colonel Parker,
the Indian chief on General Grants per-
sonal staff. The General himself was on
the floor of the Senate to urge its passage,
yet it was defeated by decisive vote. -
Clearly, the Radicals are not disposed to be
a.niable towards the head of the army.
