reside with the States or will, the Federal
Government Now, tho party that
sprung up. upon the first principle of
the sovereignty OF the States, was
crushed, with the principle itself, by the
sulting in the formation of several corseg
deracles. is the only "practical' result of
steady propngandism of thut discarded
dogma of State sovereignty. Those who
cling TO 1T may not be aware of it, but
they are disseminating "ideas that will
spring up into armed men," not that
will give them the control of the present
Federal Governments; for those i,leus
Will not no, never.
What we contend for is, that leaving
the future to ITSELF it ia evident that our
present need Is "a ncw third party, on the
only other theory OF our Government
that Calhoun admitted to be "pructical,
the consolidation theory. Andrew John
sous rehash of Daniel Wcbstrr's ,lelu-
sions on this subject, is II mere paper
scheme, and will never work Twice
has tho popular vote rejected it already.
and u hundred times will it reject il
again, especially when put to the popu-
lar mind AS IL new form of "rebellion."
The objection. then. of the Winnsboro
NewS to the radical party is not to it's
consolidation principles they are simple
fate-but to its partisan and unnationul
application of them. The same priAci-
pie eau develop iuto more than one
policy. For instance, Henry Wise, of
Virginia. and so. we think, Floyd, ad-
vised that the battle for States rights be
fought, ri et armis, within tho Union,
and not by secession We are persuad-
ed that it had been the wiser policy, tho
other policy having resulted in tho loss
OF the principle. Just so, what Wa need
is. not the revival or increase of n party
based on Il principle rejected, through
blood, by the American nation, but a
new anti radical party, based upon the
consolidation princip pie that the American
nation has adopted, and proposes to test
to Its utmost consequences, and it is
folly for us to traverse the march of
fate
dnd zee ure hlppy to announce to our
readers that the debates of Congress in
dicate the undaveloped existence of this
new party, tho debate on tho Virginia
bill, for instance; in which our Senator,
r. a. Sawyer, though slandering the
South sufficiently for all practical pur-
poses, yet In the solid, sensible position
that he took for the immediate admission

PLEA FOR THE BABIEs.-The Courier
Jau,nM notes the fact that q oorrespon-
dent of the Medical Gazette, who is
practlclng physician, comes to the rescue
OF the babies against what he denounces
rs their deadly enemy, Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Syrup. He says lie was called
to see m infant that was in dying con-
dition, apparently from the effects of
narcotic poison, and was assnrel that it
had taken no medicine but this ..sooth-
ing syrup" The doctor took the bottle
and had some of tho syrup aualyzed by
skillful chemist. and the analysis
showed that each ounce OF the stntf con-
tained nearly one grain Of morphine. A
dose for nm infant three months old, MS
prescribed by Mrs. Winslow's printed
directions, contained an amount of NOR
phine equal to ten drops of luudannm
This Is ordered to be given to the child
every two hours, in certain cases, and
double the quantity to child six months
old. AS children are very susceptible to
the influence Of opium. of which NOR |
phine is the active principle, four drops
of landanum having been known to kill |
IN infant OF nine months, and the ma
nufacturers Of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing
Syrup sell annually about 100000 two |
ounce bottles in tho single State of New |
York. the render can form some idea of
the number of babies that sre soothed !
to perpetual sleep by this nostrnm. /!
Mothers had better stick to catnip tea.
