ereignity, is, that they expressly ceded
the right 10 punish treasOn-n0t treason
against their separate power, bat treason
a0ainst the United States
Nor is this doctrine of the sovereign
tv and supremacy of the Union danger
Gus to the rights of the States. Danger
and mischief have hitherto come from
the opposite belief, as all attempts at
instruction, nuIlificatiOn and rebellion
which have yet occvrred in the history
of the country amply attest. And the
lessons given US by the trainers Of the
Constitution correspond with those Of
experience upon this subject
Says Madison IN the Eederallst;
Several important considerations
have been touched in the course Of
these papers which discountenauce the
supposition that the operation Of the
Federal Government will by degrees
prove fatal to the State Governments.
The more I reU0IUe he subject the more
I am persuaded that the balance as
much more likely to be disturbed by the
grepOnderaRce- of the last than Of the
first scale
Again Madison says:
"The State governments will have
the Advantage Of The Federal GOUe79l-
nleat, whether we cOmpaTesthem IN re-
specific the immediate dependence of
the one on the other; to the weight of
personal influence which each side
will possess to the powers respective
" vested In them to the predileCtIOD
and probable support of the people;
to the disposition and facility of re-
sisting aud frustrating the measures of
each other
Mr.. Hamiltoa spoke with even great
er emphasis to the same effect:
The Convention probably fOresaW
what it has baen-the principal aim of
these papers to iuculcate-that the
danger which most threatens our pO-
litical welfare Is that the State govern
ments will finally sap the foundations
of the Union and might therefore
think it necessary, in so cardinal a
point, TO leave nothing % construc-
ton
Again says Hamilton:
1T will always be more easy for the
State governments to enCrOaeh upon
National authorities than for the Ma
tional government to encroaoh upon
the State authorities.
Multiplied extracts from these two
great writer's on the Constitution to
the same general purport might be
produced That Washington believed
with Mr.. Hamilton on this subject was
notorious. In the address issued to
the people from the Convention which
framed the Constitution, and signed
by Washington, the object to be at
tained by the new framework is spoken
of as the consolidation of our
Union"
Such were the teachings Of the
fOundes ~ the Republic, and they
constitute the only basis upon which
the Union can be permanently main
tanned. That government is the best
which retains the greatest power es-
sential for preservation and at the
same time extends the largest liberty
to the individual citizen. And such
We would have the peoples govern /
.ment-tbe government of the United
States. Ordained and established by
them, it is sovereign and supreme, be
cause it represents the sovereign will
of the whole people.

The developments growing out Of
the contested election case in the
Pennsylvania Legislature are rather
raoy. A single item will show their
character The Democratic Proth-
onotar of Luzerne County having
been summoned before the investiea-
ting committee, testified that sixty
men votes in one Of the districts ia
Clearield County, not one Of whom
was naturalized at that time. Fraud
ulent certificates, closely initiating
the genuine seal, sigature and al had
been ISSUED by thousand, and were
sold openly ia Scranton and Wilkes
barre for 81 20 each. BY the exten-
sive use Of these fraudulent papers
ten Democratic State Senators, atleost
were elected; and a big Democratic
gain" was the consequence.

Postmaster General Randall was
trife over-zealons, in his readines to
back the President against Grant, as
man of veraeity. The Postmaster
General goes on to state that he had
carefully read the correspondence In
question, and particularly the letter
Of the President to General Grant, da-
ted January 81, 1863 and goes on to
quote from it-certifying that it is a
true and faithful account Of the con
versation that took place at the meet
ing of the Cabinet. It turns out, how
ever, that this extract from the letter
he read so carefully aud particularly,
forms no part Of the Presidents
letter Of January 81, but is a quotation
from newspaper article. 1t is very
doubtless, from this whether the SUI
perserviceable. 2. G. ever read the
correspondence. He was simply ready
to serve his master, and took the first
thing that came to hand, containing
what he supposed would cover the
case, best please the President, and do
the most damage to Grant. Randall,
however, is one of the smallest great
men that the century has produced
and Is of little consequence, take him
as you Will.-Cin. Commercial

DOMESTIC FAULTs.-IOmes are more
often darkened by the continual recur-
renee of small faults, than by the actual
presence of any decided vice. The Eaa-
tern traveller can combine his force and
hunt down the tiger that prowls on his
path; but be can scarcely escape the
musket0es that infest the air he
breathes, or the deas that swarm ths
earth he treads. The drunlzard has
been known to renouuce his darling
vice; the slave to dress and extrava-
gance her besetting sin; but the waspish
temper, the irritating tone, rude, dog
matte manners, and the hundred name
less negligences that spoil the beauty of
association, have rarely done other
than proceed till the action Of disgust
and gradual alienation has turned all
the currents of affection from their
course, leaving nothing but q barren
track, over which the mere skeleton Of
companiOnship stalks along.

Talk about Homes.

To provide abundantly, and keep the
house warm in cold times, and send the
children to school punctually, and
have family prayers once or twice "a
day, are not all the things that need do
ing; bat home should be made a really
bright and happy place in every way.
Games should be devised, festivals
should be instituted, returning birth
days should be emphasized and made
memorable. Little expeditions of the
household TO this place and that should
be planned. The right kind of books
should be sought and read, and talked
over together.
Boys and girls are blessedly guarded
when they find ali their faculties well
met and exercised at home. They do
not care TO roam, aud so are detained
from a thousand dangers. Their pas
sions are kept quiet. They lie open to
celestial influences, 'Iis easy, cOmpar-
lively, for such to be Christians. Tip

youth who have been made to love their
homes heartily. WaYward girls are
bred in unhappy homes. The mixed
