State Rights, which would deny the Federal
Union any permanent cohesive power, ana per
NIT Its COMPONENT States to fly off in frag-
ments with the whirl of any popular excite
ment. This is the distinction which Mr.. Hill
makes between government by force and a
government of freedom. And his idea OF the
cohesive power of the Union, so Tar as we
can gather, rests solely upon the belle1 which
he expresses that secession, having once Deen
undertaken and put down, will never again
be ATTEMPTED. Mark, however, that under MS
and the Democratic construction OF the Con
stituton and of the powers OF the Ueh-
eral Government, and the rights OF the states
under if. should it be attempted, there Is no
power anywhere to stop 1t or put IL uo"h'
We have bad one rebellion and have sup
pressed il. Now come MP Mr.. Hill and others
who were defeated in that enterprise, ana
s,v "We shall never undertake it again t;
so it is perfectly safe to say that the General
Government has no right to interfere WIN
&" the States, or to use force against thelh'
Upon the whole, we do not think the country
is prepared to accept any such construction
of the Constitution. Whatever MI lin may
saw about the peaceable purposes OF the south
ern Democrats the people understand very
well that the establishment OF Democratic
ideas and doctrines, as set forth by the party
leaders at the late session, would leave them
at liberty to renew the Rebellion without
fear of opposition the government by
a." forceD having been abolished, and the
government of freedom being set up in
Its place.
We are quite ready to go into the fight on
that issue, precisely as NJ. Hill states it.
That gentleman talks great deal of nom
sense, and in the most absurd way flies in
the face of the most familiar historical facts.
But the torrent of his discourse frequently
tumbes ont something both suggestive and
significant, in illustration of the spirit and
purpose of his party. He says Judge Sanford
T.. Church, of this State, is disturbed at the
situation. So are many other Democrats, ana
have been, ever since the Republican party
began to use force to put down the rebellion.
But the country has pulled through it so far,
and will probably continue to pull through.

If seeing what ought to be were equivalent to es-
tabbshng what ought to be. fewer reiormers would
die broken-hearted. In the matter OF photography,
for instance, the Pathological Convention at New
port and the spelling Reform Association at PAila-
delphia have made their usual midsummer remOu-
strances, and told good deal of wholesome truth !;
but in spite of this. and spite of Max Miller and
Professors Whitney March and Haldeman and the
London School Board the real practical adoption of
the proposed changes by the public seems no nearer
now than II was twenty years ago. IL may moi be
difficult prove that the universal use of al pha-
bet in which every sign represented one sound and
no more would save 20 per cent Of all the money
that books aud newspapers now cost; that children
would learn to read in half the time employed !;
and that the mere dropping Of silent letters would
be far more reasonable and simple than the usual
photography. But to get people into the habit of
spelling is quite another thing. Yet this IS the
minimum change advocated by the " moderates" IN
the spelling reform.
1t no doubt seems monstrous that in the English
language, containing at least $4,000 words. not
more than eighty or ninety words are spelled pre-
cisely as they are pronounced; but this fact, IN
stead of making a change TO simplicity easier
makes it more difficult In q language where gene
raj analogy is observed lapse from uniformity
is conservative. 1t is said that Carlyle was more
offended and enraged because the American edition
of his works spelled "labour without the " IL" than
he was at any dissent from his PRINCIPLES. radi-
cal change in the typographical appearance of
newspaper frequently causes much grief among
subscribers as a change in its politics would.
Learning to spell is merely learning how to keep up
appearances, and the fact that large majority
spell in certain way is and will be more influential
than any demonstration OF the absurdty Of their
method. Authors will perslstently refuse for in
stance to write egz' because such spelling might
be a,crbed TO Ignorance. If all Englsh-spearng
people between the ages of two and seventy years
could be anUhIlated, this painful problem of ortho-
graphic croOkedness might be solved without serl-
ously incommoding anybody. and probably TO the
great benefit Of the race, which would stll find the
worlds Libraries sufficiently INELIGIBLE. As this
opportunity hardly seems likely 10 occur. however,
and as people generally care more about conform
ing IN matters of taste than they do about being
scientifically accurate, the glory Of the phonetic
paradise is probably not get ut hand.

virtually brought to the very boundaries of the
farming lands of England.
We oppressed by no game laws. and no burden
acts regulate the transferOr tenure of land But
the competition is paralyzing all agricultural
enterprise here in the Middle and Eastern States.
In this section tho cereal have for years been
cheapened below he cost of actual production, and
the other great staples OF our farms are threat
ened with q like calamity Western creamenes are
even now driving ont of our markets the brands
of butter which have always been rated as the
choicest. New raroa Is and increased facii-
ties for transportation have enlarged the area
which furnishes the milk supply of our cities.
until this proluct barely commands living
price, The same causes have brought ruin upon
understanding and truck farming in which mil
lions have been invested In short 1t looks as If
agriculture was doomed here certainly it is in
England.
OF course in q comparatively new community
like ours, may not dread such social and poli-
zeal upheaval as that which threatens the estab-

enough before to justify genuine alarm, and
enough to make us watch with personal interest

The depression OF the agricultural interests of
England. especially since the matter has been
formally brought before Parliament has been the
theme OF more editorial comment and has occupied
a larger share of the attention of thinking men
there than any other subject. Without discussing
the great social and economic revolution which this
depression threatens to bring about IN what has
seemed 10 be the most stable fabric which modern
civilization has reared, and without discussing the
more remote of this depression, it certainly
is well for Us 10 consider that the crisis has boon
hastened at least by tho competition with our
