en wrong? A cause may fail, but the principle involved may be right. We cannot praise and commend the martyr and at the same time condemn the cause for which he gave his life. In the great and bloody conflict now ended, more than thirty-three years ago, the people of the South fought for a cause which they sincerely, religiously believed to be right and just. In their sunny land, their men, from the days of boyhood, had been taught to believe that the distinguished Virginian, James Madison, was correct, when, in convention on the 31st of May, 1787, he declared that the use of force against a State would be more like a declaration of war than an infliction of punishment, and would probably be considered by the party attacked as a dissolution of all previous compacts. A union of States containing such an ingredient, seems to provide for its own destruction. They had been taught also to believe that Alexander Hamilton was correct when, in a debate in the New York State Co

ame a document which best expounds the true principles of finance and statesmanship on this difficult subject, and in a perfectly unanswerable manner, free from ill-temper or bias, and full of wise prescience and overwhelming argument, I should name the report made by Robt. M. T. Hunter in March, 1852, to the United States Senate, which accompanied the bill proposed by him to regulate the coinage of gold and silver. It is not mere eulogy to say that, Since the passing away of Jefferson, Madison, Marshall and Monroe, hardly any Virginian has borne so influential a part in political affairs as R. M. T. Hunter. In great qualities of mind and character, he was the peer of any, without the eccentricities of genius which marred so many of the worthies of that day. But time would fail me to depict in detail his varied labors in the achievement of his fame. When that fame was at its zenith, and in the very height of useful promise, at the age of 52 years, he bade farewell to all t

ws, they've all joined the Young Men's Christian Association since then. (This is a joke, for I don't want some fellow from about Warrenton writing to know if I meant anything disrespectful to Fauquier, sah! I don't, and I love every one of them, God bless 'em!) Judge Keith's reminiscence gives me the clue to the reason. From the time of the resolutions of 1798-‘99, the States' Rights party had been firm in their opposition to a common arbiter. Mr. Jefferson, in his resolution, and Mr. Madison, in his report, had laid down the law, that in case of an infringement of States' rights by the common agent—the Federal Government—each State must be the judge of the wrong done her and of the mode and measure of redress. The Kentucky resolutions of 1798 were drawn by Mr. Jefferson. They declared that the several States, composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government, but that by compact under the style and <

ed conclaves that ever met anywhere. Prof. George Tucker says, in his Life of Jefferson, that President James Monroe was one of them. If he be mistaken in this, it is certain that two ex-Presidents of the United States, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, were in it, with nineteen worthy associates, several of whom were fully the equals of President Monroe. Judge William Brockenbrough was one of these. Mr. Jefferson was made President of the Board, who appointed a sub-committee of six to c Virginia Cases, was also a member of it. The Commissioners who signed the report to the legislature were: Th: Jefferson, Creed Taylor, Peter Randolph, Wm. Brockenbrough, Arch'd Rutherford, Arch'd Stuart, James Breckenridge, Henry E. Watkins, James Madison, Armistead T. Mason, Hugh Holmes, Phil. C. Pendleton, Spencer Roane, John M. C. Taylor, J. G. Jackson, Thos. Wilson, Phil. Slaughter, Wm. H. Cabell, Nathl. H. Claiborne, Wm. A.
