TE" The most momentous question

Sovereisn--the General Government
Or the people of the several States 7
1t was a political axiom with us that
absolute sovereignty is an attribute of
the people, and that the State and Fed
eral governments obtained their just
powers from the consent Of the gov
crncd. and were the mere creatures or
agents of the people, which the people
OF the several States, in their sovereign
capacity. had the right % alter, reform,
or abolish just when they pleased. This
was Democracy. This principle was
incorporated in their Publications OF
the Constitution by Virginia, New
York and Rhode Island, ana fixes tn,
understanding Of all the States at the
time. Absolute sovereignty must re-
side somewhere, and those who con
tend that the Federal Government is
sovereign are simply cndcavoring tt
get the people to acquiesce in the usur
patlons Of power and consent to the cs
tablishmcnt Of n monarchy. Thes'

An election Is to be held in that STATE
on the Sth of November, and til,
troops lately stationed in North Caro-.
lima are now on their way thlther. The
Radical leaders, it appears, having dis
covered that the State is in danger OF
being carried by the Democracy,
straightway set up tie old howl Of vi
ocucc and intimidation, and secured
from Grant the creation Of & military
district and the distribution OF ten a1-
ditional companies otintahtry through
it. The Governor of the State, who is
Il Republican, has not discovered any
domestic instruction or incursion
that warrants him IN calling on the
Federal government for troops to assist
in supprcssing it. Alabama has been
noted for its good order and prosperity
among the Southern States, and this
attempt of the administration to iIol.
dcnize it will doubtless produce Il Dem
ocratic victory greater than that in
