The dominion of the North would move on with the invariable sequence of the processes of nature. The natural result would be a government of the South by the North and for the North; a government under which the South would have no rights which the North would be bound to respect. The old, old struggle. Richard Henry Lee, in October, 1787, wrote to Edmund Randolph, The representatives of the seven Northern States, as they have a majority, can by law create a most oppressive monopoly upon the five Southern States, whose circumstances and productions are essentially different; although not a single man of these voters is representative of, or amenable to, the people of the Southern States. Can such a set of men be, with the least semblance of truth, called representatives of those they make laws for? George Mason said: A majority of interests wil

internal concerns of, each colony be left to the respective colonial legislatures. This resolution was received out of doors with chimes of bells and the noise of artillery; and the British flag, which had thus far kept its place on the state-house, was struck, to be raised no more. In the following days a committee of thirty two was appointed to prepare a declaration of rights and a plan of government. Among the members were Archibald Cary, Patrick Henry, the aged Richard Bland, Edmund Randolph, son of the attorney general, who was then a refugee in England, Nicholas, James Madison, the youthful delegate from Orange county; but the man of most influence at this great moment was George Mason, the successor of Washing- Chap.

nding in the United States Circuit Court. The argument was opened for the claimants by T. C. Peachy, whose speech occupied a week's time. He was followed by Edmund Randolph for the Government, who spoke during the entire session of another week. Hon. J. P. Benjamin, for the claimants, had been speaking continuously for the past three days previous to the leaving of the Express and had just closed, and Mr. Randolph was commencing his reply. Hon. Reverend Johnson would speak the following week for the claimants, after which Mr. Randolph would make the closing argument for the government.

s of the Federal Government owes its 'existence to the State Governments.' The powers delegated to the Federal Government by the Constitution, are few and defined; those which remain in the State Governments are numerous and indefinite. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties and properties of the people." --Ib., pages 186 and 187 In the Convention which framed the constitution, Edmund Randolph proposed to give the Federal Government power "to call forth the force of the Union against any member of the Union failing to fulfill its duties under the articles there of." Mr. Patterson also desired to be inserted in the Constitution, "And if any State, or body of men in any State, shall oppose or prevent the Carrying into executive such acts or treaties, the Federal Executive shall be authorized to call 10th the powers of the confederated States, or so much thereof as may be necess

Portrait of Judge Marshall. --The portrait of Chief Justice Marshall, which has been suspended for several years from the walls of the State Library, is to be boxed up and sent away, the executors of Rembrandt Peale having requested it to be sent to Philadelphia.--The best likeness extant of that eminent jurist and pure-hearted patriot, John Marshall, can now be seen at the studio of John W. Davies, Mechanics' Institute Building, 9th st. We believe the same gentleman has in his possession a portrait of Mr. Randolph, which is regarded as a most accurate representation of the features of the eccentric author of Roanoke. Peale asked $500 for his picture of Judge Marshall.

, without regard to rank or sex. The ladies cheerfully performed their part throughout the trying ordeal. On the day following the embarkation of the families on board of the Supply, Mrs. Gilman and Mrs. Slemmer, accompanied by officers from the storeship, went on shore under a flag of truce, to obtain a last interview with their husbands. Every step of their progress was met by armed officials. They were obliged, first, to obtain permission from the new Commandant of the Navy-Yard — Randolph, who ten days before had resigned his commission in the Navy. This was very reluctantly granted, after appeals had been made to him as a husband and father. They then had to pass the Barrancas forts, whose commander, after some hesitation, allowed them to pass. In this place, so lately deserted by these peaceful and happy families, all was now confusion.--The undisciplined soldiers or understrappers had broken open some of the trunks and boxes containing the wardrobes, and househol
