FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL II.

y OLD CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES From
the toasts given at the celebration of the ami
yersary Of Thomas J efferson's Birth Day, by The
State Rights Association in New York, we ex
tract the following, containing noble, and pa.
triotic, and constitutional sentiments:
,td Estate Sovereignty-the fountain of all fed
eral power and the palladium of our liberty"
=: The Constitution and the Union-May we
pray tor peace on no other foundation than
that established by our forefathers.
1.-THE Chief Magistracy of the United States
The highest office within the gift of the
American people; may it forever stand as the
3 shield of liberty, against the usurpations of
corrupt legislation, or the factious spirit of
party" 70 80
1'i"'' The Supreme Court-May its independence
and integrity survive the memory of those who
threaten to destroy it. y .
'"rhe Constitutional Congress of the United
States-May it soon be restored.
White, Supremacy-The doctrine of the
trainers OF our constitution and the keystone of
the arch of our civilization
for the protection Of liberty
''The Independent Press-The terror Of ty-
rants and the last hope Of freemen''
THE Soath-The birth place of the greatest
statesmen orators and heroes of the revolution
--desolated by the military rule OF strangers
and tyrants-may she rise like Phoenix from
its ashes, aud bestow again the inestimable
blessings of peace and liberty upon her people. :"
Mr.. Seymour, in his speech at the Jefferson
Birthday Dinner, referring to the cruel pun.
ishments visited upon the South since the war,
very happily quoted Napoleon's rebuke of a
French officer for his want of feeling for a
wounded Russian: S'Sir, when you have gained
a victory there are no enemies-there are only
men,"

Tho action, on rather the non-action Of the
Supreme Court, in the McCardle case, was
and is source of sincere regret to all who had
placed their hopes Of the stability Of what re-
mains of constitutional Government upon the
frmness, and independence Of that Court
The Indignant protest OF Judge Grer is re-
sponded to in the heart of the Conservative
people of the country-and we do not use the
word Conservative In any party sense. IF the
Supreme Court tails to protect civil rights and
personal liberty, the sheet anchor is gone J.
Time will prove this. One by one the bulwarks
which have heretofore protected constitutional
freedom in the States, alc being swept away
We had hoped that the highest judicial tribu-
nal in the country, would be sure and steadfast
We can only lament over what has passed.

The Baltimore Commercial says eff ever a

With all his errors Of commission and omission
with all his failures to take proper steps at
the proper time to arrest the progress Of the
faction that is now rcvolutionizing the Govern
ment-with all his faults before, during and since
the war-we, nevertheless, cannot help regard
ing him at the present crisis, with feelings Of
much consideration and trusting that he
may yet triumph over his violent and unjust
prosecutors He has had ragAt on his side
