The Government of the United States of America as Illustrating- theWoncur rent Principle. The crowning illustration of the con current .principle and of Jhe other et , 7 ementf ripciples laid downHr p jibun scfenc of gfryer&ment to to be j ' fdudd n lire gQverniaent -f thfe nw j U try as riginulljr- f rained by the fathers j of the republic. , , i 1 It may be affirmed that the govern ment of flits country prigirfally es tablished is the grandest political achievement whereof history gives any record illustrating above all others more skill, more wisdom and a higher standard. In his profound work on the history of European civilization, M. Guizot, with obvious truth, remarks: "Of all the systems of government and political guarantee, it may be asserted without fear of contradiction that the most difficult to establish and render effectual is the federatlvesystem - a system which consists in leaving In -each place or province, (State?) irt every separate society, all that portion of 'gov ernment which can abide there, and h taking from it only so much of it as93 indispensable to a general society, in order to carry it to the centre of this larger society, and there to embbdy: Jt under the form of a central govern ment. This federative society, theoret ically the most simple, is found in prac tice the most complex ; for in order to reconcile the degree of independence, of , local liberty, which is permitted to re main, with the degree of general order, of general submission winch in certain cases it supposes and exacts, evidently requires a very advanced state of civil izationrequires, indeed, that the will of man, that individual liberty, should concur in the establishment and main tenance of the system much more than in any other, because it possesses less than any other the means of coercion. The federative system, then, is one which evidently requires the greatest maturity of reason, of morality, of civ ilization in the society to which it is applied." This kind of government, if difficult to construct, is surely high. The states men of the feudal ageitried it and fail ed. The statesmen of our revolutiona ry era tried it and succeeded. What the barons of Europe failed to effect, the barons of America succeeded in consummating. And this is the great glory of the constitution-makers of J787. , , The constitutional government of these States composing the American Union was peculiar in its origin. Other constitutions and this gives to them large advantages have been the pro duct of favorable circumstances-Hhe result of long-existing and long-operating experiences. Such constitutions grow out of the body politic .as. the skin grows out of the tissues of the body that it enfolds ; and they are thus apt to fit closely and well, neither too loose nor too tight, but adapting themselves to the form and contour of the country and the people of the country. Hence the work of those whose office it is to direct the political affairs of such fa vored lands is comparatively easy. The form of government takes care of it self, at least to a great extent, and the energies of statesmanship can be di rected to the development 6f the re sources of the community. Far different was the origin of our constitution, and hence far more diffi cult was the achievement of .our states men. Ours had its origin in the will Of the people. The men who met in 1787 to frame a constitution and to establish a government for the country had to build from the foundation and to com binB - within themselves the qualities both of i political , master-workmen and the higher skill of political arcnitacts, and the yet higher wisdom of political eerswho werato propel vision far into the. dim recesses x the future.- They were, in another point of view, master tailors, who were to cut the garment suitable for the young giant of the coh-tineot-to anticipate as far as human sagacity f would allow how he was to develop, as jhe would .pass through the : stages of' infancy and jrouth to man hood. It varia difficult thing to do. It ;cannot be denied that the fathers did their work with ateganlfor "vrell-order-, ed liberty with a wisdom and a grand , eur .of, conception that has commanded the admiration of the world. But if ' the political edifice that they construct ftf imfld stttleture,gfapdwere' t&i$fteoaasTlhle& 6Jad tuXiheir ;comman4 and with which they were to ido' their work. Other statesmen in forming governments have had units wf individuals to fashion 'into political j fprm but the statesmen of our revolu tionary era had unite of States-soyer ' "feign States each tlie peer of the other, , ?withoii-Mfcar& ftjS tibptfar 'fit engthfdr territotiiJi Yitlik$tatefdr mayAi estmntiiemnoondertnat therevised scheme-of government the like ofwhich Tre maytn vatri search" for in the past of the human race. What is that scheme' as it was ? What the character and style of the house that our political ' fathers builded V " Ours," says Calhoun; " is a system of governments compounded of the sepa rate governments of the several States composing the Union, and of one com mon government of all its members, called the government of theTJnited States.". That is, our governmental sys tem consists of the general government on the one hand and, on the other, of the State governments the former cre ated by the latter, Each founded on the great principle of the responsibility of the rulers to the ruled, . and each formed on the same models-each fram ed by written constitutions, and each dividing the powers of government into legislative, executive and judicial. Be tween tne two were divided all the pow ei oi Koveramem mose oi a mnr general character being specifically del egated to the United States ; . and those not delegated, being reserved to the sev eral States in their separate character. jnor was there subordination of cm part to the other.

' ' - , ; . Grand, then, it appears was the scheme of our government of govern ments as designed by the authors. It finds its counterpart only in the solar system which astronomy unfolds to the mind's eye. ' The general government may be likenedfto the central sun re? volving upon its own'axis,-and at the same time keeping within their respect ive orbits the numerous suns rep resenting the States, moving each on its own poles and at the same time revolving round the central lumi naryl )Nor is the analogy yet complete. As the central sun by virtue of its cen tripetal force keeps the attendant suns in their respective orbits, preventing M . Jt iA, tnem irom rusmng mauiy uw space, and as tne attenaani suns oy virtue ui their centrifugal force prevent them selves from being absorbed within the interior luminary and thus becoming extinct: so the federal government as the central government operates upon the State governments, and so do the State governments act upon the federal government, each by virtue of its re straining influence preserving its own integrity and the integrity of the other. The one prevents the tendency to dis-integi-ation : the other prevents the ten dency to consolidation. And thus when the just influence of each is respected, and the system allowed to operate as it was designed in the beginning, the re sult is hajmony ; aud the music of the spheres is not confined to the divine ar rangement involved in the siderial sys tem. Such was the government as it was formed and put in operation. The question arises, What is its condition now V We proise to follow where log ical reasoning and immortal truth lead "as we understand logic, and truth which involves logic. yThe goverment has been subverted. Jt is not the government of J737. While power cannot destroy right; while war ; cannot subvert principles, yet war and power can and do accomplish practical results; .and men must bow. before the logic of accomplished facts. The gov-. ernment pf this country has been prac tically changed. The concurrent prin ciple that lay like a pearl of great price in the rocky bed upon which our fath ers built their goodly edifice, has been cast aside as a worthless bauble, nay, worse, as a piosonous, unclean thing; and virtually the States have become provinces, and State sovereignty has become an exploded dogma. It is true a large mass of local rights remain to the States, and'ioeal rule prevails to an extent sufficient to delude the masses with the idea that the States have not been shorn of their strength. But for all that thev have been shorn of their essential strength. The Philistines of consolidation have gained the mastery over the Sampsons of State rights. The government is virtually a government the numerical majority, whjeh has just ly been called crnel as death and re morseless as the grave. Said De Toc- querille, that profound writer and close observer, referring as far back, , as 1833, o tne U nited States : The majority in that country exercise a prodigious, ac tual authority, and a moral influence which is scarcely less preponderant; no obstacles exist which can impede, or so much as impede its progress or which ea induce it to heed the -complaints of those whom it crushes upon its path." This same writer who looked, perhaps, mote keenly into American institutions than any other foreigner, and with less prejudice; who sought toilet his just censures attend the true event adds: This state of things is fatal in itself and dangerous jfpV the the future. If th free institutions of America are ever destroyed, Tjljat event may be at tributed to the unlimited authority of the ? majority, but it. will ; Jiave been brooght about by despotism." ' What is needed is -what we have lost, yiz: sottte adequate means for the protection of the minority. No written constitutionh-rno free-press no religi- uu aeunmepteisHng no appeal to the past-can i)e sufficient for this pro tection There is wanted some restrain ing influence in' the 'onranic structure- something to take the place of the dis- J .-1 Hr . -a uiuueu power oi nuinncation rand se cession, crushed by the sword, but erect in argument:: The numerical lirinninlft u uugovemiacnws tne,aanger that conxronts tne country, it is "the wild beast of Flato" the armed rhinosce- ros or UierHyrcan tiger" of Shakes peare. Will the country heed the voices that come from the past, warning it of the danger Of ;an unbridled majority? Will it interpret aright the sisrns of the times ? the hnal Question is: What next? We cannot tell nreciselv what th rv Bult will4e, so many and so concise are the influences that may spring up to modify the course of events. But this we may say, that unless the - country rouses itself to its danerer unless t.ha virtue and the intelligence and the re ligious sense of the land shall spring to uj itMJcue,. we are on me Droadroad that leads to civil war and untold dis asters.

J. P. T. The Political Situation What Mr. - Others Say. Hayes and Wash. Special 9th, to Richmond Dispatch. I asked a Virginia member of the House this evening to tell me all the political news, and he replied "Mr. Hayes stated to-day to a member of the House that Congress will not be here longer than two weeks, and that, I take it, in a measure, confirms the rumor that the Republicans do not intend to fight the army bill with any great earn estness." He then informed me that Senator Thurman. Mr. Carlisle, and other -Democratic leaders, are delighted with the situation, and say the Demo cratic party is bound to win on the is sues already made, wmie it nas ex hausted every means within the consti tution to repeal the obnoxious and un just laws, the Republicans have resort ed to every expedient to keep these laws on the statute-book.

Squire Jones, a farmer residing on Buffalo Fork of Tygert's creek, had become in fatuated with a courtesan,! and on Fri day last attempted totwing her into his house. Hi3iwife resented the insult, and, after hot words between them, Jones threatened her with a knife. She seized a small axe and with the blunt portion knocked him down and endeav ored to escape," He recovered quickly and rushed after her.
