T he Declaration and the Constitution

The relation of the Declaration OF
Independence to the Constitution is
one OF the interesting points raieed in
the late political debates in the Sea-
ate. The different view OF the duos.
ZION now held from that which has
been accepted Tor more than !: gensr.
alton, is one OF the most cheerful
sigus OF the political times. Il is not
twenty years since the Declaration
was called "a seli-evident lie Mr..
RUFUS Choate described il as full OF
'gl;ttering generalities, and "the pas
slonate manifesto OF revolutionary
war;" Senator Carpenter now says
that in the heat of ertempore speech
he himself also cali 1t 'revolution-
ary pronuncamento.' Indeed, it WAS
the natural tendency OF the epoch in
which slavery was supreme. aud
sought to make itself the iu.,lamen-
tai law, to behttIe the declaration
that 'all men are created equal; that
they are endowed by the Creator
with certain nnaienable rights; that
among these are lite, liberty, and the
pursuit OF happiness; that to secure
these rights governments are iEstltu-
tel among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent OF the gov
crned.'
The principle that the Constitution
must be interpreted by the Drclara
ton was greeted in the unwholesomc
era OF slavery With laugh OF con-
tempt. The Declaration was consid-
cred rhetorical flourish OF men who
held slaves, and who meant to mold
them. The Constitution was \ we'll
considered fundamental law. But
that the men VINO made the Deciara-
ton held slaves, and meant to hold
them, in the sense in winch that as
sertion was made twenty years ago,
is untrue. Aud the fundamental law
was determined by those who had
accepted the Declaration, and many
of the illustrious siyners OF the latter
also signed the former. Indeed, the
relation OF the Declaration to the
Constitution Is really, rs MIR. Sum
ner says, very much that OF Magma
Charta to the British Constitution.
II states the principles by the light OF
which the Constitution must be inter
preted. 1t is not to he supposed that
the men who in l176 declared certain
political truths To be self-evident, IN
1877 founded government upon
principles antagonistic to seii-evilent
tfuti.s.
Wherever, therefore, there Is doubt
in the instrument, it is to be un-
derstood as intending liberty
and equality before the law.
And this goes farther than
Senator Carpenter would allow.
He says that when a question arises,
and, upon inquiry, it is believe! that
the Constitution intends to accom-
plish certain end antagonistic to the
Declaration, the principles Of the
Declal alton must be disrsgaried.
But th- question is OF doubt. II IL
disappears before Investigation, the
Inconsistency must be c5nc ded.
Blu, II obscurity remains, the Dec
laralion must bind the Constitution.
lii Il word. the Declaration OF indie
pendence can not be dismissed AS q
piece OF revolutionary rhetoric. bat
it must be received as a declaration
of the political faith Of the fathers
who framed the constitution and,
therefore. the latter must be inter
preted always by the light OF the
iormer.-Harpers Weekiy.

and our public square is more or

as it is a common sight to see every
variety of teams fixed up temporar-
lily until the horses are again able
to go to work. The principal at
traction has been a large white OK
hitched up in single wagon driven
with lines same as a horse. The
OK was purchased at Winesburg, in
your county; others have gone to
work and yoked their cows or halt
gown oxen, indeed anything that
had four legs.
Tonight we will have a final
rally for our North and South rail
road which, by the way, is looked
upon rs certainty, most of the
towns and townships having voted
bonds, while considerable subscrip,
tion stock has been raised all along
the line. Business is commencing
to look up pretty lively.

DEATHS.

DIED-On Oct. g. 1872. Mrs Hall, wife Of
Edward Hall, of Berlin, Holmes county, o., in
the cath ear of her age.
Her last sickness was painful and protracted,
but borne with exemplary patience. We may
note briefly a few things in the history of her
life. She was born in Brook county, then vir-
ginia, March II, A. ID. 1909. and early in life
removed with her parents, John and Margaret
Mcclure to the vicinity of ofMiddletown, Holmes
county, o. She was married to Edward Hall +,
April 18th, 1928, and remained his flowing and
faithful wife until death'-a period of more
than fOrty-four years. She was the loving and
indulgent mother of eleven children-nine of
whom, five sons and four daughters, survive
her. Her grand children number thirty. She
was trained up in youth in the doctrines of
Christ under the auspices of the Associate
Presbyter church. of which her parents
were members, and held these principles of
the Gospel all her life and was 4 constant read
er of Gods Word. but did not make public
p proftssion of her faith in Christ until a short
time previous to her death, when she was re-
ceived into the communion Of the Presbyterian
church of Berlin. She died in full faith In the
atonement of Christ and hope of eternal life
exhorting her friends who were present and
sending messages to the absent to meet her
in heaven. J,C.G.

The'Grandeur Of Song,

God has made the whole earth vocal
with sweet sounds. The untraveled
forest echoes the notes of the wild bird
and the habitations of men are made
glad by the songs of the domesticated
feathered minstrels. But above all, the
human voice, which combines the high
est charm of sweet sounds with the in
spiration of thought, is given for no
6rlinary purpose Of human pleasure
Its whisper of affection, how grateful
its expression Of religious devotion, how
exalted; its solace i'm trouble, how dear
its participation in joy, how unspeak.
