A few years ago, we were in the constant habit of taking up every new number of the work with very high anticipations of pleasure; and we were hardly ever disappointed: but of late, this journal seemed' to assume a de cided party character? it became the advocate of the. restrictive policy, and of other powers of the General Go vernment, incompatible, in our opin ion, with its limited Constitution." A sectional feeling evidently prevailed in the tone and spirit of its political arti cles; and we therefore began to consi- dep jt no lunger a review, , representing, in some measure, the views and leei inss of -North America but- rather, the views and feelings of the Northern States. We opened the number be fore us, therefore, on the article enti tled " Tha1 Union and -the -States," without much expectation of meeting with liberal political philosophy, can did inquiry, or fairness in argument; but on perasing it- we found ourselves somewhat, and very agreeably disap pointed. It contains much, it is ad mitted, which we do not approve, and wfcich we do not believe can be sustain ed; but it is written with a eood(deal of fairnr-ita and candor, and it also contains some impyrfli.-llM''0. irf favor of the principles of State Rie-hts. wliich deserve to be remember- td. The writer oi me anicie oeiore - . o - .. I' .1 ! I l r us. suoDosetl to be Alexander Everett, the principal editor of the Review, may fairly be considered as one of the ablest and most philosophic of that elass of politicians called National Re publicans, who claim very, nign pow ers for the General Government: what he yields therefore in behalf of State Rights can hardly, one would suppose, be regarded any longer a disputed ground. ;''d : - The writer distinctly makes the fol- lowing admissions: "f " " ' 1., That the State! were not, pre vious to the adoption of the Constitu tion of the Un.ted States," combined in any way mto one poUtical society or Kiple; but were, trora uie uiuts oi ctaration of Independence to the time of adopting the Constitution, iree, i-wereizn, and independent of each o- ther. - S. That the Constitution of the U- bited States was and is a compact. S. That the several States, as dis tiBet eoiumuVrtie.- were- tit- parties ho en ered into the compact, and &t it is binding on them a such. These wa regard as -impprtant ad- wisauins. ?

One great error of the reviewer seems to be, that he regards every pow- yielded to the General Government, so much in favor of the . Union, and all rights allowed to the States as so much in the scale of ultimate dissolu tion. The reverse of this view would be nearer the truth. Give the Gene ral Government extensive powers, and the diversity of interests prevailing o ver so large .territory will necessa rily render their exercise oppressive in some of the-Stater-hywbkheans the existence of the Union will be brought into danger; but if the autho rity of the General Government be limited to a few interests common to all the States, each member of the Federal Union can provide for itsowa wants according to its own views, while it will find a sullkient motive for Union in external strength, and other common benefits in which it partici pates.

The Ruanoke, however, will not be the southern termination of this rail road. South Carolina has done nobly, and will do more. She will extend her road to Columbia, Camden and Clieraw. Georgia will not remain long an idle spectator. She is, indeed, already awake. A meeting has already been held, with a view of devising measures to construct a rail road from Athens to the .South Carolina rail road at Augus ta. North Carolina, too, will do her part towards continuing the line. Ano ther effort has recently been made in North Carolina, & such men as VVm.
