The Question of Loyalty.

If the people of this country
were living under an absolutism,
there might be some sort of reason
for contending that they owe and
render it absolute obedience to
their sovereign. But they are
to live under a fepubli-
can government of limited and
defined powers and jurisdiction.
They are moreover it's creators,
and it is their creature. Their
duty of obedience to it is common
surate with the powers and juris-
diction with which they have vol
UNFAIRLY invested it, and beyond
that it has and can have no just
claim of authority over them. The
sovereignty of the people is origi-
nal and plenary-that of the gov
ernments they have instituted
for their welfare, both State and
National, is derivative and partial.
The people, therefore, owe the
governments of the State and Ma
ton only so much submission and
fealty as is correspondent with
that measure of their inherent
sovereignty which they have dele
gated to those governments. And
here we must take a distinction
between a constitutional govern
ment and the men who undertake
to administer it. A people may
be entirely loyal to the political
system they have created for their
government, and yet entirely OPP.
posed to the action Of those they
have appointed to enforce the
system. The agents employed to
execute certain powers under oath
may violate them. The trust is
thereby broken. But because those
who gave the powers and reposed
the trust complain of the faithless
ness of their trustees, they do not
therefore, surely oppose the trust
or the thing intrusted, nor car
they be fairly accused of such fol
ly. Hence a people who censure
their political rulers for grossly
exceeding their delegated powers
are surely not guilty Of infdelity
to the government, which is &
thing from the party in possession
of the government.
Let us advance step further il
the argument. If censure of those
who abuse a political trust, by ex
ceeding or perVerting it, is not 8
crime, but q duty, what should b.
thought of those who aid and abe
such usurption! Who, pray, art
disloyal to the government? They
who resist encroachment on tht
constitution, or they who counte
nance and encourage encroach
ment? Are they disloyal wht
hold the private citizen and tn,
public officer to the laws of til,
State, or they who, by agreein.
to support the latter in treatin.
the laws with contempt, virtualll
inclte both the people and theit
servants to disregard and over
throw the lawss The pith Of i
all is, that under a constitutions
form OF government loyalty con
sists alone in adherence to tn,
laws; and the safety of the public
liberty depends upon the rigo
with which those who govern ar,
held to obedience to the laws an,
; the constitution by those whom
they represent.

intelligence:
The river opposite this point,

came to a stand on Thursday.
From that time until Saturday
morning it fell a few inches, when
it again commenced rising in good
earnest, and up to last night had
risen to within ten feet of the high
water of last year. From the of
ficers of the Pioneer Era, who
left White Cliffs, on Little river,
last Sunday, we learn that theriv
washigher thanever before known,
and the plantations from there
down entirely ovelfowed. At
Fulton the river was higher than
it was last year. A heavy rise
was coming out OF the main river
above the mouth of Little river,
and strong current running out
Of Sulphur fork. We learn from
a gentleman who is just from
Lanesport, that the river was
bank tulI at that place and many
of the low places overlooked. We
do not anticipate an overflow at
this time, though many of the
timid ones do. There is no ques-
