THE PRESS AND THE PLOW.
We envy not the princely man,
II city or i'll town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Turn ul' the llill or down.
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor yet his heaps of gold,
We would not own his sOrtlid heart
For all his wealth twice told.
We are the favored ones Of earth,
We breathe pure air each morn,
We SOW, we reap the golden grain,
We gather in the corn.
We toil-swe live on what we earn,
And more than this we do
We hear Of starving millions round,
And gladly feed them too.
The lawyer lives ON princely fees,
Yet drags weary life,
He never knows a peaceful hour,
His atmosphere is strife.
A merchant thumbs his yard stick DER,
Grows laggard at his toll.
He's not the man God meant him for;
Why don't he till the soil
The doctor plods through storm and rain
Plotls at his patients will;
When dead and gone, he plods again
To get his lengthy bill.
The printer-bless his noble soul
He grasps the mighty earth,
And stamps it on our daily sheets
To cheer the laborers heart.
We sing the honor of the plow,
And honor to the press
Two noble instruments Of toll,
Each with a power to bless.
The bone, the nerve of this fast age,
True wealth of human kind
One tills the ever-faithful earth,
The other tills the mind.

National Sovereignty and States
Rights.

The sabjnined extracts from the
several recent decisions Of the United
States Supreme Court which, created
such general interest tl,rosgbou. the
country, will illustrate tie general
principles advanced upon the relative
rights and powers Of the Datienal aud
State governments
The true doctrine, az we
conceive, is this, that whilst the States
are really sovereign as to all matters
which have not been granted to the
jurisdiction and control of the United
States, the Constitution and eonstitu-
tional laws Of the latter are the SUI
preme law Of the land aud when
they conflict with the laws Of tho
States, they are Of paramount au-
tl,ority and obligation. This is the
fundamental principle on wI,icl, the
authority Of the constitution is based,
aud unless it be conceded in practice.
as we'll as theory, the fabric Of our
institutions, as it was contemplated
by its founders, eau not stand. The
questions involved have respect not
more Il, the autonomy aud existence
of the States, than to the continued
existence Of the United States 40 q
government to which every American
citizen may look for security and pro-
lection in every part of the land.
A law of Congress inter
peuetrates and becomes a part Of
every law Of every State Of this Union
to which its subject matter il appli-
cable, and is binding npon all people
on every foot of our soil. This il the
voice of the Constitution.
The United States is a
government with authority extending
over the whole territory of the Uuion,
acting npon the States aud the people
Of the States. While it is limited in
the number Of is powers, SO far as its
sovereignty extends, it is supreme.
No State can exclude it from e1ereis-
ing any authority conferred upon il
by the Constitution, obstruct it's au-
tlaorizetl officers against its will, n
withhold from it, for moment, the
cognizance Of any subject which, that
instrument has committed to it.
The general government must cease
to exist whenever it loses the power
Of protecting itself in the exercise OF
its constitutional powers. 1t can only
act through it's officers and agents.
and they must act within the States.
If, when thus acting, aud within the
scope Of their authority, those officers
can be arrested and brought to trial
in State eonrt, for All alleged nffense
against the Law IT the State. yet war
ran,+l by the federal authority they
possess, and if the general govern
ment ia powerlrss 10 interfere mt once
for their proteetion--if their protec-
tion must he left tn the action of the
State court-tl.e operations Df the
general government may at any time
be arrested ut the sill of an.. nf its
members. No sueh element 1T weak
ness 10 to be found in the Constitution

The streets Of the city will jar.
CHORUS.
In the sweet, lye-and-bye,
When again the mild lilies bloom;
II the sweet, bye-and-byc,
We will march with old Captain Boom
The election will shortly begin,
And the parties Will whoop, rear and shout;
And to put down the threatening mobs,
Our gallant boomer will 20 out.
And his bronze dogs will opc their dread
mouths,
And sweep the insurgents away;
And for the damage the booming has done,
The regiment will willingly pay.
Chorus.
And soon to Boston lie will 90,
And at Bunker hill lie will boom;
AHd the echoes will ring far and wide,
Denoting the tyrant's sad doom.
Chorus.
And then from his trip he'll return,
Cover over with glory and fame;
And the boys will be Joyous, and cheer,
For tho great boomers glorious Rame.
Chorus.
