LEWIS tULMMB. Bditor. JONATHAN WORTH, OF RA S'DOLPH. . . 1 I ' L 1 . . .1 . 1 - - i LA Vt e pllOllsn 10 silOllier c'"-mn nr estiog debate which took place hi the Bute Convention, upon Mr. Manly's notion to amend the 9th iretiou of the 7th article of Ute Bute Constitution then tuidcrcousider tkm. The section as it tan Is require, every person chosen or appointed to any place of Mat or profit lu the 8tate to take an oath or affirmation to support, maintain ai d defend the Constitution of the State, not incouaiatent with the Upati rution of the United States. ' To this Mr. Manly waa opposed. , He aimply desired aa oath to support the Constitution of the who has taken the amnesty oath in good faith can object to taking the oath aa it stands, we cannot understand. The 'Na tional mid State Constitution arc alike part of our Federal system. Each is supreme within its legitimate sphere, and we fuMy appreciate the sentiment of Mr. Manly, when he says " that when Stat rights is wept away irrevocably, liberty foes with them." Wc shall ever be aa rwdy as Judge Manly, or any other man, to guard agaiuat any encroacJimcuta upon the re served rights of the States, but the States have no rights, and can have no right, " inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States." The Constitution of the Uuited States, which, we arc informed in the preamble to the instrument itself, was made by "the people of the United States," is by its own terms ' the Supreme law of the land.'.' la respect to the powers granted to it is sovereign and is supreme over the State Constitutions, while the State Govern ments arc sovereign in tho exercise of the powers reserved to tbem. The Federal Constitution and the laws of Congress made in pursuance thereof, Lcing " the su preme law of the land, any thing in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding," the Gcucrul .Government has the, power to control the State Government, so far aa to keep theiii' within the limits of the rights, and powers reserved to them in tliat instrument, but no further.

This was fully shown by Judge Govern ment, when acting within the sphere of its Constitutional powers. He denied that his State could absolve him from his obligations of ullegiance to the Federal Government he said tlmt the General Government was entitled to his allegiance and could com mand it in spite ot his Mate. Pucu were the teachings of Mr. Clay, but how differ ent are they from tlose of some of his pro fessed disciples at this day.

Wl ceived from the publisher, Col Pool, of the Goldsboro' News, a taut part of the oath The delegate from Camden, Mr. Fere- aOd not boast that they are the disciples off -tyWe transfer to onr columns fetn quire a man to take an oath to support such Constitution without reservation, would be to require him to commit a perjury, inasmuch as' he would cither be compelled to violate such oath, or his oath to support tbe Con stitution of the Uuited States, which was a part of his amnesty oath, and which he is also required by tbe Federal Constitu tion to take before he can hold any State Mr. Fere lcc, of Camden , was also a warm supporter of Mr. Manly's motion, and his principle reason, as he said, was that the Howard amendment would probably be incorporated into the Constitution, and he did not wish to swear to support such a Constitution as it would then be. We con fess to great surprise at the ignorance of the Constitution, manifested by Messrs Ferebee, Manly and Conigland on this pc casion. They have, been for some years, we believe, members of the bar, and have also been for a number of years in the Leg islature, or tho Conventions of the State, and should have been perfectly familiar with it. They have already taken that very oath. The fifth article of the t'onsti tutiou of the United States provides two ways for. proposing intendments to the same, and declares that whenever such amendments shall be " ratified by theJeg islatures of three-fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three-fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of may be proposed by the Cptu gross," they " shall be valid to all intents .and furjfca.a as f.itiinHp'im : this CtrasTituriou," which Mr. fWebee; Mr. Manly and Mr. Conigland, have alrea dy taken an oath to support, maintain and defend, together with the Union of the States, thereunder, and which requiers them to take it again before they can hold any Howard, whose speech, as reported, docs him much honor. Still retaining his opin ions as to what the framers of the Consti tution intended it should be, yet as others thought differently and had established their construction, he intended to honestly abide by the decision. He believed that the question of secession was settled, and said U was preposterous to suppose that auy man could now hold any State office without first taking an oath to support the Constitution of the Uuited States. He vo ted for the amendment, not because he wished to avoid the necessity of taking such an oath, but because he preferred the old oath which is a part of our re vised code, and not a part of. the old Con -sti union as some seemed' to suppose which contained the very words proposed to be stricken out.

And here he would say the differ ence between the sentiments of the gentle man from Camden and those of Harry ( lay, was as wide as the difference be twe"u Heaven and hell ! Mr. Conigland in rtply said that, we bad been informed by Mr. Moore, of Wake, that there is a clause in the present Con stitution requiring an outh jt this sort. Such being the case, whence the necessity of incorporating such a clause at preseut ? Much difference of opiniou as to the pro priety otthis clause is now entertained ; sadwhy should it now be considered so necessary, which heretofore has not been considered necessary ?

To me the w ords of the delegate, the Consti lotion of the days of Clay is as different from that now proposed, as Heaven from II !

Mr. Manly of Craven held that this made a material alteration in the form of the old ibs sjatzoivaii unoi coxr . vxurTioif. We publish to day the call of the Execu tive Committee of the National Union Club, for " a National Union Conven tion, of at least two delegates from each Congressional District of all the States, two from each Territory, two from the Dis trict of Columbia, and four delegates at large from each State," to be held at the city of Philadelphia on the second Tuesday of August next We need not assure our readers that we most heartily approve of this movement, as they will doubtless remember that we have on various occasions str..ngiy recommerid ed it, We haw been in favor fcr- il nnrys tian jnighj i ""i"" " """"-"i " w uucicu an eeg) nut trom istate omces also.

He expressed himself decidedly in favor of the adoption of the section as it stood. i ... Mr. Manly replied. He denied that North Carolina was entirely subordinate to the general eovernment. He said that she had certain rights, which belonged to her and not to tlwf general go vern sent. That mm- w uleuts to the Constitution, &c.

As for himself, he intended hereafter to de- f ikI tbe stars and nd four delegates at large from each State, held at the city of Philadelphia on the second Tuesday ( 1 l:h) in August next. Such delegates will be chosen by the electors of the several States who sustain the Administration in maintaining unbroken the Union of the States uuder the Consti tution which our fathers established, and who agree in the following propositions, viz : The Union of the States is, in every case, indissoluble, and is perpetual; and the Constitution of the United States, and the laws passed by emigres'! in pursuance thereof, supreme and constant, and univer sal in their obligation ; The rights, tliu dignity, and-the equali ty of the States in thtr "Unim", 'mcluTiliig' the right of representation iu Congress, are soltiinuly guaautced by that Constitution, te saveVhicli from overthrow so much blood and treasure were expended iu the late civil war; There is no riijht, anywhere, ,to dissolve the Union, or fo separate States from the Union, either by voluntary withdrawal, by force of arms, or by Congresional action ; neither by the secession of the States, nor by the exclusion of their loyul and quali fied representatives, nor by the National Geverutncut in any other form ; Slavery is abolished and neither can, nor ought to be, re-established in any State or Territory withiu our jurisdiction t Each State lias the undoubted right to prescribe the qualificutious of its own elec tors, and no external power rightfully can, or ought to dictate, coutiol, oi influi uee fb.6 free aud voluntary action of the States in the exercise ot that right ; . The maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially of the right of each State to order and control its own domestic concern, according to its own judgment exclusively, stibjccUonly to the Constitution of the United States, is essen tial to that balance of power on which the perfection aud endurance of our political fabric depend, and the overthrow of that system by the usurpation and ceutealiza tion of power in Congress would be a rev olution, dangerous to republican govern' ine.it and destructive of liberty : Each House of' Congretfi is made, by tbe 'onstitutioittle sde judge of tbe elections, associations. Tbe painter has found bis highest visions of beauty ; and the orator, puc t, and essayist, a theme most potent ia its iuiigimitions, and iu eloquence it is spo ken of as the " silver link, thesilkcu thread that binds two willing hearts to joy." It has been likened to the turning of two lutes in one key the melting of two clouds into one to the blending of the lilly with tho rose, and of the nutural with the more licavruly constituents of our nature. The joys of marriage are spoken of as " a heaven ujHtri enTth ;" "Iffej Paradise;" "the soul's earthly quiet;" "oarth's im mortality ;" and as an "eternity of pleas ures." "Our Maker," says the purest and best of itoets, " bids increase." We do not, of course, take the positron that unhappiness cannot have a foot-hold in the marriage relation. All observations tliuw that there is no condition of life ex emt fPom trouble and care. But we do say that man's joys are increased, and his sor rows lessened by marriag", for it is an in stitution that has wisely been said to dou ble the joys and divide the griefs of earth ly existence. AW believe that this institution was giv en to man for his highest good that the sweets and purest most earnest and heav enly of eart lily happiness is to be found in the sacred enjoyments of the home circle. This is substantiated by the uuited testi mony of the wisest and best of all time, by a silent but earnest witness and ardent ad vocate iu every bosom ; add finally, by that best of- all eTidenei i-tbe direct and uniuistakeable testimony of the great giver of all good. There are none so bad that "matrimony may not redeem ; uone so Dngnr, ana pure, and good,Jjitt it will make biigiiter, purer, and better still,-so long as there is joy ; its chosen abode will be. within the home cir--elp, and should earth ever become so vile that the spirits of purity and goodness would be impelled to take their leave for ever, their last fboUnriuts will be on the hearthstone of the home least depraved, and their last associations will be with characters of husband and wife.
