An address has been published in New York,
signed by Horace Greeley and other Republl-
cans, heartily concurring with the principles
set forth by the Liberal Republicans Of Mis-
souri,, accepting the invitation to meet in Con
veption iu Cincinnati 10 May next, and asking
all Republicans in New York who agree with
them to cooperate 1t says: We believe
the time has come when political offences of
the past should be pardoned That all citizens
should be protected in the enjoyment Of rights
guaranteed to them by the Constitution; that
Federal taxation should be imposed for reveen-
ue, and so adjusted as to make the burden
upon the industry of the country as light as
possible. That reform in the civil service
should be made which will relieve political ac-
ton from the influence of official patronage
That the right of local self government, the
foundation Of American freedom, should be re,
asserted, and entertainments Of the Federal
IoWer checked.

SATURDAY, MARCH so, 1877

The Norfolk Journal says that when Seces-
4ion died, and was entombed with the Conted-
:cy, all the rights Of the several States did not
die then. They have not died yet. Because
Virginia. in renewing her allegiance to the
Federal government, renounced her previous
claim to the right to leave the Union, if she
chose to do so, it did not necessarily follow
tn 1t she abandoned the protection the Constlu-
ton gave to such rights as may be still LETT to her.
Because the States have consented to reduc-
lion of some of their rights by amendments of
the organic law, it is not yet established that
all their rights have been lost, or are to be
yielded up, without legal and constitutional
effort to retain such as exist.
