tion, referred to the States; and the State Legislatures severally referred it to their sovereign people, and thus it became the supreme law. The destination between the two characters of government proposed soon gave rise to two parties, the Nationalists and Federalists, during the session of the Convention. After the ratification of the Federal Constitution, the name Federalist became popular, and the Nationalists dropped their name and assumed that of Federalists, under the lead of Hamilton while their opponents, the original advocates of the Federal theory, called themselves. Republicans, a name afterwards assumed by the Black Republicans, who are in fact the avowed Nationalists of the present day. Mr. Jefferson always called himself a Republican, in its original acceptation, and Mr. Calhoun preferred it. The Republicans of old advocated State-rights, the Sovereignty of the People of the States, the limitation of the Federal Government to the specific grants of the Constitut

or help to expel from her borders the ruthless invaders of her sacred soil. In addition to the three companies that have already repaired, with burnished guns, glistening bayonets, and Cherokee knives of fearful dimensions, to the scene of war in the Old Commonwealth, two other volunteer companies have been organized and equipped in our little mountain city; one of them, the Cherokee Artillery, left for camp the first of this week, and the other, "Floyd Sharp Shooters," commanded by Capt. Hamilton, expect to leave for Virginia on Tuesday next; and, if I am not very much mistaken, the myrmidons of Lincoln will be deeply and bullet-ly impressed with the significance of the name of this last company. I doubt if any town in the Confederate States, of the same population, has as many well drilled companies in the army of Virginia as Rome, and yet other companies are about being organized. May there not be something in a name ? Ancient Rome boasted of her "legions" of fighting men, wh

Dispatch, "but in submission, and submission new is ruin and dishonor. While we write this article the Colonial flag, with its crescent and lone star, is floating gaily at our office door, and the sentiments and resolves which that flag indicates, lie deep within our bosom, and pant for utterance and action.--Oh, shades of McDuffie, and Hamilton, and Hayne, and Calhoun! Oh, shades of the mighty! this is the day ye long desired to see — the day of deliverance and of jubilee!" The New York Tribune professes to be willing to let the South go out of the Union. It says: Still we say, in all earnestness and good faith, whenever a whole section of this Republic — whether a half, a third or only a fourth--shall truly desire and demand a separation from the residue, we shall as earnestly favor such separation.

Tour of the Empress Eugenie. --The Empress Eugenie left St. Cloud before daybreak on, Wednesday morning for Scotland, the Emperor escorting her to the railway station.-- Her Majesty is accompanied by the Princess d'essling and Madame d'saulcy, and her equerries, Baron de Pierre and the Marquis de Lagrange. She went directly to a country house in Scotland belonging to the Duchess of Hamilton, and will be absent from France for several weeks. The Government evening journals received orders not to speak of the departure. Arriving at the London Bridge Station, the Empress and her suite went in common street cabs to Claridge's Hotel, in Brook street, and it was not until they had been for some time in the hotel that Her Majesty's rank was known. She went out on foot next morning and made several purchases in the neighborhood of the hotel. In the afternoon she and her suite engaged some carriages from a neighboring livery stable and visited the Crystal Palace.

From Washington. Washington, Dec. 7, --The Putnam Phalanx, a visiting company from New Hampshire, visited the President to- day, and were courteously received. They were reviewed by Messrs. Floyd and Toucey. They visited the tomb of Washington yesterday. They left for home this afternoon. There is a better feeling to-day among the Congressmen. It is believed a strong movement is being initiated outside of Congress for a Southern Convention as foreshadowed by the National Intelligencer. The President has given assurance that he will not reinforce the forts of Charleston harbor. Maj. Anderson, at Fort Moultrie, has not asked for more troops. The best feeling prevails between the garrison and the citizens. All the members of the select committee of 33 will serve except Boyce and Hawkins. --Hamilton, of Texas, has not yet arrived.

Fifth, by restraining Congress from disturbing the present ratio of slave representation. Sixth, by providing that these provisions be unamended and unalterable. The resolutions were laid over for future action. Mr. Iverson, of Ga., called up the bill relative to our commerce with Mexico. Mr. Hamilton opposed the motion to take up. Mr. Hale moved an amendment, to postpone its going into effect. On receipt of a message from the House, communicating that body's non-concurrence in the reduction in the $10,000,000 bill, Mr. Hunter said, if the Senate agreed with the House as to the amount, he wished the same restrictions to be applied to that bill as the Senate yesterday applied to the three million bill. The Senate then concurred with the House. Mr. Davis brought up Mi

Judge Hopkins is made to say that the power of coercing a seceding State was asked for by Madison and Hamilton In the Convention which framed the Constitution. The Judge said that this power was asked for, but opposed by Madison and Hamilton, and was denied by the Convention. rata. --In the abstract of Judge Hopkins' speech to the General Assembly of Virginia, published by us yesterday morning, there were several errors one of which it is important should be corrected in this notice.

stering to his case and comfort; they, therefore, resolved to accompany him. They proved that it was not a spirit of dissipation and gaiety that led them to Spain, for they were not to be seen in any of the gay and fashionable circles; they never stirred from their homes except to attend him, either to take the air or drink the waters; in a word, they lived the most recluse life in the midst of a town then the resort of the most illustrious and fashionable personages in Europe. The exemplary attention to their father procured these three amiable sisters the admiration of all the English in Spain, and was the cause of their elevation to that rank in life to which their merits gave them so just a tide. They were all married to noblemen--one to the Earl of Beverly, another to the Dude of Hamilton, and afterward to the Marquis of Exeter, and a third to the Duke of Northumberland. And it is justice to them to say that they reflected honor on their rank, rather than derived any from it.
