We call attention this week to the ad.

We call attention this week to the adj
vertisement Of the Louisiana Equitable
Life Insurance Company. Although there
are many persons in Claiborne parish who
have been swindled by certain wild cat
companies, there is no reason to condemn
the whole system. Life insurance is q
legitimate business, recognized by the
laws of the land. In all parts of the coun-
try. in the cities and larger towns especial
ly, the people who are able insure their
lives. More than -fourths of the
business men of Shreveport are insured in
this Company. Ii is located in New Or
leans and has its policy holders secured by
deposit of l.. 5. bonds in the State
Treasury. Ii is in easy reach Of the pco-
pie of Louisiana, and even if il did not
have iirst-class reputation for honesty it
would lind il difficult to swindl- the pco-
people. We can. from actual knowledge,
recommend this Company rs solvent and
honest Drayton B. Hayes is the agent
for Claiborne parish and will receive ap-
plications.

will noU, G1ey uare not, IN view OF their
position, think of the truth that dissen-
sions in the future, as in the past, will
appear in varied forms ar grow up in
various quarters. The first threat OF
disunion was uttered upon the floor Of
the Senate by Josiah Quincy, one of the
most able and distinguished sons of
Massachusetts. In the debate on the
} ouisiana question, in 1911, he said: "I
m compelled to declare it as my delib-
crate opinion that if this bill passes, the
bonds of the Union are virtually dis
solved; that the States which compose
it are free from their moral obligations,
and that as it will be the right OF all, it
will be the duty of some to prepare
definitely for separation-amicably if
they can; violently, if they must" At
an early day Mr.. Hamilton, with all his
distrust of the Constitution, sent word
to the citizens of Boston to stop their
threats of disunion and to let the gov
ernment stand as long as it would.
When our country was engaged with
the superior power, population and re-
sources of Great Britain, when its ar
mics were upon our soil, when the walls
of its capitol were blackened and marred
by the fires Kindled by our foes,
and our Union was threatened with
disasters, the leading officials and
citizens of New England threat
ened resistance to the military
measures of the administration. This
was the language held by convention
of delegates appointed by the legisla-
lures of three of the New Eng land States,
and by delegates from counties in Yer
mont and New Hampshire: In cases
of deliberate, dangerous and palpable
infractions of the Constitution, affecting
the sovereignty of State and liberties
of the people, it is not only the right but
the duty of such State to interpose for
their protection in the manner best cal
culated to secure that end" This covers
the whole doctrine OF notification.
They denounced the measures of the ad-
ministration for carrying on the war in
defense of our country against invasion.
They advised the legislatures of the
several States represented to adopt all
such measures as may be necessary eff
fectually to protect the citizens of said
States from the operation and effects of
passed by Congress which shall contain
other citizens to forcible drafts, con-
bCAlpuiOu5 VI LII luplCocuuSubo uOu uubilOl-
lied by the Constitution of the United
States" This was not the language of
mob excited by draft which was
admitted by the administration to be
unfair, and where it was conceded the
draft in the city of New York exceeded
the whole quota of Vermont, but it was
the deliberate language of solemn con-
vention. The naen who uttered these
threats, which gave aid and comfort "
to the enemies of this country while
they were burning its capitol, were held
in high esteem. To this day the names
of George Cabot, Nathan Dove, Roger
M. Sherman and their associates are
honored in New England. The dissolu-
ton OF the Union was urged by
rominent men of the North and
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1880-10-21

about theirs. They see that when our
government oversteps its chartered
rights, there will be danger of disorders,
hurtful to all. but mCst so to them.
They wish to hold their constitutional
privileges of equal State representation
in the Senate for their own protection,
and not for the purpose of violating that
Constitution and of undermining the
grounds upon which their represents
tion is based. Who, then, are those who
they ask you to yield upe They are the
their own constituents, for they will be
They ask it for themselves. When thev
display to you the vast and varied in
terests of the great States, when they ex-
cite your passions against the South.
and get you to say you fear the sena.
torial mower of that section, they lead
you into admissions that their construc-
ton of the Constitution is right, "that
powers do and ought to gravitate more
and more toward the general govern
ment." When you make the admission
that Mr.. Garfield is right in these asser-
tions, you are establishing the mastery
of these officials over your interests
more than over those of the South.
They can interfere hundred-fold more
with your varied pursuits than with
those of the less complicated industries
of the semi-tropical States. They seek
to remove Wall street to Washington; !;
to organize officials into a board OF
brokers, with legal powers to depress
values or to initiate prices.
Men who hold power for long periods
feel that they have gained vested rights.
They are tempted by the passion for
power, for patronage, for r. Under. They
make these not only of ad. ntage dur
ing their terms of office, but means by
which they renew the tenures of their
positions. They gain the influence to
re~elect themselves. They feel at length
that they are the government. Even
the Republicans, at times, cry out
against the vast political machinery
which oppresses them as well as the
country. Yet their candidate. in clear,
strong terms, demands more power. IL
his mode of dealing with the Constitu-
tion is to prevail, he may be right in
upholding the theories OF Mr.. Hamil-
ton. IF officials are to hold power in
definitely, it is better they should do so
by virture of change in the Constitu-
tion, and not by the vices OF corruption
and usurpation.
REPUBLICAN, WAR ON NEW YORK
What do we gain if we listen to ap-
peals which aim to excite our preju-
dices against the Southp 1t is law of
individual life that the man who hates,
and not the man hated, suffers most
from unhealthy passions, from neglected
interests. This law holds good as to
communities. We have now strong IL
lustrations of this truth. While our
people have had their minds agitated by
denunciations of the South, they have
not noticed the heightened strides
toward the control oftheir pursuits.
You will find that the jurisdiction
those leaders seek is over the North. not
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1880-10-21

will find by looking at the CEN
sus of 1870 that while the population
of the State of New York was over
four millions, there were thirteen States
with less population that had twenty
six members in the United States Sem
ate, while New York had but two. OF
those States nine are Northern and four
are Southern. But even this does not
show the unequal power exercised by
different States over the action of our
government. More than half of our
people live in nine States; it is in these
that the great interests, capital, COM
merce, manufactures, agricultural pro-
proportions. Yet this majority of
American citizens have only eighteen
Senators out OF seventy-six-less than
One-quarter of the number. On the
other hand, there are nineteen States
whose population is less than one fifth
that of our country, who have one-haif
of the members of the controlling de-
partment of our government. This
small minority, through their Senators,
can prevent the passage of laws for the
interests of the majority, or the repeal of
those laws which are hurtful. If the
doctrines of the Republican party and
the opinions of its candidate for the
presidency are to govern, we are ex-
posed to perpetual danger from all parts
of the United States. Why did the
trainers of our Constitution permit this
inequality? 1t was done because there
was fear on the part of smaller States
that they might be oppressed. It was
given them solely for purposes of de-
nnr fofh falf hnt %har- hod
sufficiently guarded the rights of the
large States and of the majority OF our
people by limiting the Jurisdiction OF
the government they formed within
safe limits. What makes, then,
this danger to the majority of the peo-
pie from the action of Senators from
the South, or the North, or the West,
representing minoritiesp It is because
the leaders OF the party in power have
violated the letter and spirit of the Con-
stitution by constructions of its pro-
visions unwarrs nted and dangerous.
They do not propose any reform in this
matter. In full view of the facts which
they have stated. and which we now
present, they seek to enlarge still more
the jurisdiction of the general govern
ment. They propose to take away more
of the rights and securities of the major
ity OF the people. They desire to in
crease the interferences with the in
terests of our citizens engaged in agri-
culture, in commerce and manufactures.
We are not left to mere inference as to
their purposes and opinions. Their
candidate, Mr.. Garfield, has openly de-
clared that "this government is gravi-
tating toward more power" and he is
glad of it. If he is elected it will be said
that the people of this country have ex-
pressed their approval of his recorded
sentiments. Where, then, do parties
stand? e deny that the Constitution
gives to Tie minority of the South or to
any other part of our Union the danger
