And cannot this be done without jeopardizing he rights or interests of any section in reference to these questions of Constitutional reform ? We most earnestly insist that it can unless such an intolerant spirit prevails in one section as requires a yielding of every thing in opinion or principle on the part pf the other. This is a popular Govern "xnent We p'rotess to bow to the will of thePEO: ple. If the East wants any thing in the way of political rights, against the will of the People, it is wrong, and cannot bear the test of examination and trial. If the West demands any thing against that will, it is equally wrong. Why then cannot these sections agre to let the People act as um pire to settle iheierence between them I Who will it injure?

Mr Diab Sif Yours, of yesterday, is this instant come to hand, and 1 have but a few minutes to answer it. am sorry that your situation obliges you to listen to propositions of the nature you describe. My opinion is, that a reservation of a right, to with draw, if amendments be not decided on under the' form of the Constitution within a certain time, is a conditional ratification : that it does not make New York a member of the new Union, and con sequently that she could not be received on that plan. Compacts must be reciprocal this princi ple would not in such a case be preserved. The liwtitutian.reiiuires an adoption in toto and for- evy it has been so adopted by the other State. An adoption for a limited time would be as de fective as an adoption of some of the articles only. In short, any condition whatever must vitiate the ratification. What the new ( ongress, by virtue of the power to admit new States, may be able and disposed to do in such case, I do not inquire, as I suppose that it is not the material point at present. 1 have not a moment to add more than my fervent wishes for your success and happiness. The idea ot reserving a right to withdraw was started at Richmond, and considered as a condi tional ratification, which was itself abandoned as worse than a rejection. Yours, JAMES MADISON, Jr. This shows what were Mr. Madison's opinions, which he expressed strongly and clearly. Ihere could be no such thing as a conditional ratifica tion ;a ratification provided certain amendments were assented to,- either before or after- 1 here could be no such'right reserved as a right to secede, in ease their demands were not acceded to, The opponents of the Constitution and ol the Union- desired an express reservation of a right to secede or withdraw from the Union, if their amend-, ments were not granted. Why was it necessary to make such a reservation, if secession, was an inherent right, a right never surrendered as the secessionists now contend : npHE Committee of Visitation of the Trustees of Ji. the University for ibe ver 1851. consists of Hi ExcHleney D. 8.

"Sir Henry Bulwer, in an after dinner speech at a Si. George's festival in New York a speech that, notwithstanding its seeming spontaneousness, its smart puns, it hilarious tone, and its apparent bursts of en thusiasm, was eminently diplomatic made a very happy allusion to " Saint Johnathan's family difficul ties." We have seldom read anything in iheway of national compliment more appropriate and in better taste. Sir Henry is as shrewd as if he had been a Yankee He knows what to say and when and how to say it and we assert that there was as much diplo matic tact exhibited in the ' making up" of the rib tickling speech he delivered at the Astor House on Wednesday, as could be displayed in the gravest offi cial document ending with assurances of the most distinguished consideration," The following passage is a perfect gem in its way ; " Now. since yoq have been so kind in your recep tion of the name which I have just u'tered,(St. George) will you allow me to mention that of a near and dear relative of our patron saint I mean 'St. Johnathan.' I have seen this same gentlemen io many guises I have iust come from visitinir him as a Vinrinia plan ter; I have shaken hands with him as a western far mer ; I have been feasted by him in this very hal as a JN.ew Lngland .Pilgrim, and 1 have dined with uim We regard the above as one of the most disin frenuous.artie.les we have seen in the "Standard" for some time. Its object is to prejudice the Pre sident, for his I oely Proclamation to prevent the formation of couj panics, and the preparation of means, within the jurisdiction of the United States, to invade and plunder a Country with which we are no w al peace. If such a Proclamation had not beep issued, and the expedition had sailed, the 'Standard" would have been the first to pry out, "what a weak, inefficient, imbecile Administrai' tion !" We have treaty stipulations with Spain, which we are bound in honor to observe and maintain. Has the "Standard" no idea of Nation al faith and honor ? Does it place our nation up on the same footing with a band 0 robbers? Talk about rescuing or giving "aid io the down trodden Cubans!" Fiddlesticks!

We hazard nothing in saying that the success of this important enierpnze is mUbe hands of the people of Raleigh. They can but be sensible of the advantage likely to ensue from such a connection, and we hope will come up to the work with determination and spirit. We may have; something to say in behalf of this project in onx next In the meantime, the Commissioners designated for this place wiH be pleased to-receive any subscription large or s'malL ' a Washington legislator, and I have been on intimate terms with him as an American statesman, both in and out of office and I will tell you that I don't be lieve that there is a more generous or honest hearted sain' in the calendar (laughter) one who is more ready to give his best bottle of wine to a friend, or tb drink his f iend's best bottle of wine, if he gives it him-laughter) who is more skilful to turn a penny more splendid in spendmg a guinea.

Of course, the above remarks " brought down the house," as they deserved to da Sir Henry is a first rate boon companion, understands human nature and its national varieties of intuition, and accommodates himself thereto with great facility. himself and Mr. Madison, which establishes some important prinuiples on this subject. Madison and Hamilton were leading Members of the Con veution which formed the Constitution. They wrote those powertul bssays which have been embodied under the title of "The Federalist," in explanation of the provisions of the Constitution and which contributed so essentially to the object for which they were prepared, the Ratification of the Constitution by the States. Tbcy were after wards Members of the State Conveniions in their respective Suites, by which, nfttr a gret struggle in each, the t onsiitution was finally ratified. During thelsitfcngs of these Conventions the one at Richmond, the other at Poughkeepsie they kept up an almost daily correspondence. From this correspondence we find that the party opposed to ratification in New York, contended that the Constitution would too greatly restrict the liber ties of the people, and they therefore insisted on ) amendments, either before or after ratification. Then follow the annexed letters, written just after the result in Virginia, and whilst it was still doubt ful in New York Mr. Madison having gone from Richmond to New York :) HAMILTON TO MADIS05. July 8, 1788. Mr Dea Sir : I felicitate you sincerely On the event in Vir ginia, but my satisfaction will be allayed if I dis cover too much facility in the business of amend ment making. 1 fear the system wi I be wounded in some of its vital parts by too genera! a concur rence in some very injudicious recommendations. 1 allude more particularly to the power of taxation. The more I consider requisition in any shape, the more 1 am out of humor with it. We yesterday passed through the Constitution.

We have good reason to believe that our opponents are not agreed, and this affords some ground jof hope. Different things are thought of conditions precedent, or pre vious amendments ; conditions subsequent, or the proposition of amendments, upon condition that if tl are not adbpted within a limited time, the State shall be at iberty to withdraw from the Union ; and lastly, recommendatory amendments. In either case, constructive declarations will be carried as far as possible. We will go as far as we can in the latter without invalidating the act, and wRl concur in nitional recommendations. The rest for our opponents. . We are informed there has been a disturbance in the city of Albany, on tire 4th of July, which has occasioned blood shed. The Anti-federalists were the aggressors, and the Federalists the victors. Thus stand our accounts at present. We trust, however,- the matter has passed over, and tranquility been re stored. Yours affectionately. A. HAMILTON. condition draw or secede teas abandoned. The ratification, without the condition, was a virtual abandonment f the claim of right to withdraw from ihe Union. f or, if that right existed independently of the Constitution, why propose the condition, to secure or reserve it : How emphatic is the language of Mr. Madison that a reservation of a riht to withdraw, is a "con dilional ratification." under which New York would not become a member of the Union. There would be no reciprocity in such a compact. "The Constitution requires an adoption in toto and forever." The other States had so adopted it ; New York must so adopt it "The idea of re serving a right to withdraw from the Union was start' a at Kichmona, ana considered as a conai tional ratification, which was itszlf abandoned as WORSE THAN A REJECTION. How completely his scatters to the winds the absurd doctrine of secession, which is pretended to. be derived Irom Virginia, where it was "ahan donpd," and from Mr. Madison, who then and af terwards condemned it ! Mr. Madison's langnaze in another p4acef was sought to be tortured in oar Susie Legislature into the assertion of a right to secede. And those who ciied his great name professed entire reliance on him as a fanhful expounder ol the Constitution Will thpy now withdraw the compliments they avished on him, or will ihey admit the force of ihe clear unmisiakeable, unanswerable language in his above letter 1 in Virginia and South Carolina it is fashiona ble to assert, that the risht of secession is "beyond dispute." It does not seem to have been so in 1788, and we think these developments make it equally so now H all healthy White person and SJavea.

PocghkeepsIe, Saturday, July, 1788. I thank you, my dear air, for yours by the post Yesterday, I communicated to Duer our situation, which I presume be will have communicated to you. It remains exactly the same. No further question bavinar been taken. I fear the footing I mentioned to Duer is the best upon which it can be plaeed; but every thing possible will be at tempted to bring the party from that stand to an unqualified ratification. Let me know your idea upon the possibility of our being received on that plan. Yofl will understand that the only qualifi cation will be. the reservolion of a right to secede, in case our amendments have not been decided upon in one of the modes pointed out by the Con slitution within a certain number of years, perhaps five or seven. If this can in the first instance be admitted as a ratification, I do not fer'any further consequences. Congress will, 1 presume, reeom- subsequpiitly met witn a similar disaster The Professor proceeded cautiously, fearing ob stuctbns n the way, such as the coming of cars in the opposite di reel ion .and cattle on the road. Seven halts were made, occupying in all for y minutes. Butnolwi bsianding these, hindrances and delays, the trip Jo and from Bladensburg was accomplished in one minute less than two hours. The cells Were made of light eanhenware. for the purpose of the. experiment merely, without reference to durability. This part of the appara lus can therefore easily be guarded againl mishap The great point established was, that a locomo live on the principle ol Pro essor Page can be made to travel nineteen miles an hoar. The facts above-narrated were gathered from a gent eraan who was privileged to take a ride in the novel conveyanceand they sierngtheniheopin ion which we have heretofore expressed, that success in the app icatmn ol electro magnetism Io the propulsion ol railway trams can scarce y any longer be considered as doubifu.
