Fundamental Principles of the
Radical Party.

81. That the Constitution of the United
States is not a League, Conicderlcy or
Compact, between the people OF the several
States In their Sovereign capacities; but a
Government proper. founded ON the adop-
ton of the people, and creating dirccv'c-
lations between itself and individuals.
-. That no State authority has power
to dissolve these relations; that nothing
can dissolve them but revolution; and
that, consequently, there can be no such
thing as Secession without revolution.
So. That there is a supreme law, con
sisting OF the Constitution OF the United
States. and Acts of Congress passed in plIr-
suancc of it, and treaties; and that, in
cases not capable of assuming the charac-
ter of II suit in law or equity, Congress
must judge Of, and, finally, interpret, the
supreme law, so often rs it has occasion to
pass acts OF legislation; and, IN eases ca
pablc o faSsuming, and actually assuming,
the character of II suit, the Supreme Court
of the United States is the final interpreter
~. That an attempt by n State to abEp
gate. annul. or nlIllily an Art Of Congress,
or to arrest its operation within her limits,
on the ground that, in her opinion, such
law is unconstitutional, is Il direct lsllr-
patton ON the Just powers Of the General
Government. and on the equal rights OF
other States; II plain violation of the Con-
stitution, and Il proceeding essentially Rev

The Remains of John &. Calhoun.

The Charleston News contains the
following account of the re.intermen1
Of Mr.. Calhoun's remains:
The rcmains of John G. Calhoun
were cxhrmed on Saturday morning,
and replaced in the vault where they
originally rcposed.
1t will be remembered by a chosen
few, TINT, on the night preceding the
evacuation Of Morris Island by the
Confederate forces, the corpse of Cal
houn was taken from its vault Tor
obvious reasons. and was laid in st.
Phillips Churchyard, to the east of
the venerable church. There the re-
mains of our greatest statesman have
rested in peace during these six event
full years.
The Rector, assistant Rector and
the vcstrymen Of St. Phillips were
present at the disinter Ment, m Oh
lowed the coffin as it was borne to the
old vault west of the church. 1t was
indeed a solemn scene. While all else
is troubled and sad, the mighty spirit
Of Calhoun stalks abroad, and his
dust, its wanderings over, is laid for
aye in the humble, silent grave-laid
in the bosom Of that Carolina which
her wiscst o loved so long aud yell.

From the Nashville Banner.

New York Methodism in q bit o
n rerment over the subject of worldly
amusements. At q meeting of thu
preachers in that city last Saturday
the matter was discussed with mucl
animation, nearly all the brethren be
ing on one side of the question. One
SchaHcr by name advocated family
dancing, stating that he himself had
engaged in such harmless amusement
This elected an avalanche of condem.
nation from the majority, and it was
limited that the meeting should engage
in PRAYER for the worldly Mr.. Schatfer.
Round dances were severely denoun.
ccd-one of the preachers stating that
the only reason why some women
were so fond of dancing was because
the gentlemen put thei- arms around
their waists; while theatre going was
a crime no members of the Church
should wei countenance. A propo-
sitioh having been made to permit the
playing of croquet, it was finally lec-
commended to open and close all such
ganes'with prayer.

The Next Republican Candidate
for the Presidency.

A Washington correspondent OF the
New York Herald says that prominent
Republican members Of Congress com
blain that Blaine, the Speaker OF the
House, is keeping the craftsmanship OF
the different committees TO trade upon
during the summer, just as ColiaX dld,
for the purpose Of clevating HIMSELF to
the Presidency, The rules OF the
House rrquir, the Speaker to appoint
the committees at the commencement
of each Congress. On the 4th OF
March, 1867, Mr.. Colfax was elected
Speaker of the House Of tie Fortieth
Congress, but he did not appoint the
committees until the December follow
inc. This was the first instance where
Il Speaker kept the chairmanships sus'
pended all the summer previous to a
Presidential election. ColIaX created
u powerful clique, devoted to his inter
csts, who worked like beavers previous
to and during the Chicago Convention
to make him President, il possible, or,
at least. Vice President. Every man
of them worked for CollaX with a Will,
and the committees were accordingly
arranged just about as the monopolists
wanted. High tariI, railway subsidy
and national bank managers held high
carnival, and, as Il matter of course,
Mr.. Colfax was nominaIed--not to the
position desired, but to the best that
co uld be got AT that time.
''Therc is tie strongest evidence that
a SIMILAR combination has been made
to give Mr.. Blaine the next Republican
nomination. The selection of the
House committees has been postponed
until December. During the next
eight months Speaker Blaine will have
more valuable patronage than Presi-
dent Grant. He has the appointment
OF AT chairmen, and over 800 members
of committees to 'tradc upon during
tie coming summer. No man on the
continent has SO much power. 1t re-
quires q majority of the Senate to make
n chairman or member Of u single Sen
ate committee. In the House, on the
other hand, the power to make forty.
seven chairmen and three hundred
committee members is lodged with one
man--the Speaker. Is it any wonder
that this official should use his nor
nous power to advance his own inter.
csts and smoothe his way toward the
Presidential chair?
