Aye, indeed! are they no more so ? We thought just now, they were not only protected by State law, but were "recognized by the Constitution;" that it was "expressly declared they were liable to be taxed," Sic Well, the " Standard" will not contend that the looms and spindles of New York and Massachusetts are recognized by the Consti tution of the United States. That print has long urged, that looms and spindles employed in man ufacturing industry, were entitled to no other pro tection than the State law gave them,even at home; and will it now admit that if these looms and spin dles are transferred by their owners to the Territo ries, they are entitled to any other protection than the local law mkrht there afford to them?

And until it gives us something in the way of argument, a little stronger than is contained in the weak and ttlfsufJicUut view presented of this Question in its constitutional aspect, in the article before alluded to, we must be pardoned for adher ing to our opinion.

Dors, Esq. on the occasion, we are informed,, was a most chaste and appropriate production, reflecting great credit upon the head and heart of its gifted author. The value of Sunday Schools' cannot be over-estimated. Whatever tends to promote the moral and mteDectual Improvement bf society, is an object which should be cherished by .the good and virtu ous.

Our inability to digest the " Standard's" pol-' itico-constitutional metaphysics on this question, constitutes the gravamen of its charge against us ; and all we desire, is a dispassionate consideration ofWnnia.inn nf ofttis The "Standard's" view of the .Kn,n.Kn. ,l RtV.ftpr S,Khrh I matter consists in great part of mere senseless tru- tbrnnnt nnfr in imnartino. miction I wtich il assumes 85 prS,' and ' then isimrnenseand controllmg.

Now this proposition we readily ad mit, and insist that it fully sustains our view of the subject- and if carried Out to its legitimate re sults practically, will, " out of its own mouth con demn" the " Standard."

They have already given am ple evidence that they are. equaDy invincible at the battery and the banquet. the subiect thus : " First as to the Constitutional power. These territories have been acquired by the blood and treasure of all the States." This we readily admit and although it is a good ar gument against the injustice of the Wilmot Pro viso, it certainly cannot change the express letter of the Constitution, which was adopted 60 years before the territories in question were acquired. Again, u Slavery is recognized by the constitution, and our slaves, it is expressly declared in that iastraraent, re liable to be taxed directly, and they hate bean, for the pnrpose of raising revenue for the federal treasury." As to the first proposition in the foregoing sen tence, viz ; that " slavery is recognized by the Constitution" although we admit this in a certain facturing industry, shall have passed a law, grant- law of those States, which, so far as regards inter nal regulation and domestic police, the Constitu tion of the United States has left to the sole and absolute controtof the States. Well, we will sup pose the Massachusetts manufacturer chooses to transfer his business to Chihuahua, in New Mex ko, in search of a better market and higher profits.

"Congress is not the sovereign under that Constitution, but a oody with delegated powers." This we deny, in the broad and unqualified terms in which it is laid down. Congress it sov ereign to the extent of the powers that are delega ted. Walker defines " sovereign" to mean " Sijk preme in power,"v and the Constitution declares " that the laws of the United States -which shall be made in pursuance of the Constitution, (that is, m pursuance of the powers that are delegated) shall be the supreme law of the land." Here then we have the express letter of the Constitution on the one hand, and the Raleigh " Standard" on the other. We say to the readers of the Standard." choose ye whom you will serve." Again, says the "Standanl":"It (Congress) received its existence from the States and owes to them its continued vitality, and it can pass no law affect ing either the citizens of the States or the States themselves, which is not expressly authorized by the Constitution, or necessary. to carry into effect some power expressly made." Granted but what has this to do with the question V WhjT is this political axiom, that any tyro in Constitution al reading can quote as glibly as the " Standard" can, put forth with such amazing Isrravitv? Why, but to mystify the subject, and mislead its readers ? Why, but to make them believe its ab surd conclusions are' the legitimate results from un disputed premises? But say3 the " Standard" : "The States are sovereign, and equals. Con gress, therefore possesses no right to pass any law which discriminates directly, or by its effects, in fa vor of one State, and against another. The conclusion to which the " Standard" ar rives in the latter sentence of the above, is made to rest upon the soundness of the premises as laid down in the first sentence, viz : tnat " the States are sovereign and equals." If the rights of the States rest on no safer argument than this, well may they exclaim " save us from our friends." The States are not absolutely sovereign. Sover eignty in our Country is divided betwixt, and exercised by, two separate and distinct organiza tions, viz: the State and General Government. r Each is sovereign within the scope of its legitimate functions, and no further. For instance, the public law writers specify among the attributes of sovereignty, the power to make treaties, grant letters of marque, coin money, 8tc. now these are all expressly prohibited to the States by the Constitution, and conferred upon Congress. See what an absurdity the " Standard" has here involved itself in. It has just said " Congress is not the sovereign under that Constitution" and now it says " the fetates are sovereign." If this be true, State laws upon any and all subjects (for the " Standard" makes no qualification) are par amount to the laws of Congress. What non sense ! As to the conclusion deduced from these false premises if the 'Standard' means, that Con gress possesses no right to pass any law, which shall directly or 'by its effects," encroach upon any oi tne txnsutuuonai rixnts, powers, or pnv- lleges, ot any one ot tne states, we admit the truth of his proposiuon; but if the "Standard" means, that Congress possesses no risrht to pass any, law, " tne enects" oi wnicn may enure to the benefit ot the people ot some one State more than m of another, then we insist- the argument is er roneous. Will the "Standard" deny that the effects of the law establishing the Navy-yard at Gosport, have been to benefit .Virginia and her people, more than of North Carolina 1 Or that the improvements of the harbors of New-York and Charleston, have " in their effects" been more in favor of the States of New York and South Carolina, than of Tennessee and Kentucky ? Or that " the effects" of improving the Ohio and Mis sissippi, have operated more in favor of Louisiana and Ohio, than ot Maine and New Hampshire? Whence does the " fctanciara" derive this unheard of, this dog-in-the-manger construction of the Uonsutution tnat even wurun tne scope ot the granted powers, Congress has no right to exercise TCP J ID T i uxton's Ufa in- IdCst ITc Ufe in the Far West, br Geor F.
