Here the genial powers of Nature are unlocked; earth teems forth her richest, purest treasure*; and Heaven smiles with approbation. And here again those powers which wear ’he habiliments of death, and seem nerved 'o rum man, are warded off by the giant arm of the philosopher, or are made to swell th- .-haimel of his enjoyment. The atom, as it floats in the breeze, and the universe, as it hangs on nought, are subjects of investigation.

This ,v as an action for a breach oj promise of marriage brought in f<ivo> of Miss Frances Rice against a M.. We ird of Leicester, a tra der. The lady was an organist for the church in tha town, and Mr. W. having a taste for music, was wont to pass his evenings, some times to ihe very “witching time of night,” in listening to 'he tones of a piano, on which Miss R indulg-d herself in practising tor hi* entertamm -nt. Bv his own statement, it ap pears he was during this time taking lessons on th.it instrument from rhe fair plaintiff; but his regular and prolonged visits, and the si lence ot the piano after a certain h ur in the evening, led some of those kind people whoev er t ike an interest m the affairs of those about mem to imagin- that they discoursed to each other music of another kind I will not under take to relate the story. Suffice it to say in process of nine the attractions of the piano lessened, or the pupil had le trued out, and an other object fixed his attention. The seq lai is easdv imagined. The deserted fair one laid her (roubles before twelve rough old fellows, (one of whom is a bachelor ot fifty,) told them she had suffered in tier health and prospects, and prayed their interposition. I tie appeal was not in vain. They sentenced tier faithless swam lo pay her nineteen hundred dollars and co-ts of court.

He is no nuilifier —He has “entertained in early and uniform disrelish .»!’ the doctrine of nullification.” He is a union Troup man, maintaining the good old constitutional doc. trine -TSt it • Rights upon winch he acted in 1825, aid upon wtueh. the (Juivn parly are now a ting, is sim ned i;> by him in the fol It-Miig s-mu n n’ d-'iiv>red on ihe 4'h of July 1825; “ [*ne Union of the St<it>-s and the Sov ereignty of tne S a'es, one and indivisible;” and reiterated upon it m >re recent iceasion, in the following sentiment addressedto a pub lic dinner at Columbia Court House, in Sep (ember last: “The Union of all the States, for the pre servation of die Sovereign'/and I idependence of each —when it performs tin* offi e, ihe Un ion is sacred: when it fails, it is worth Hie sup port of those onlv, who would have made it, at fir*, as they would now, a consulid t ed and arbitrary Government.” Had Governor I’roup been a nuilifier, enter taining the spirit of ihat party, md anxious for its ascendency, it is no reasonable (o suppose he would have resigned his seal m the Senate of ihe U.

Mr. Thornton sets out by laying down two propo* sitions, as h ading principles of the government under which we live. Ist. " That the States are as they were originally intended to be sovereign and ind<pen dent of each other, and mat the Federal Government is their agent. 2nd. I'hat they arc ihe proj er judges of their own rights, as well their infractions, »s the mode and measure of redress,” In answer to the auove propositions, we shall, first makes few remarks in relation to some general terms,, used by Mr Thomt. n am. lllf . IC , wt,. Sovereignty, and fin mdivi- ibility ofsovereign, ty. And wowdllnst rernaik, that the appi llation of sovereignly, is not a very apt term in ou republic, be cause when we speak of a Sovei. ign, the idea ol a Su preme being is asmiatid wnh the expiession—we speak <>f it in the singular, and Mr. Thornton views it in the same manm r, when he sajs, that “ sovereignty is indivisible.” A community that lives undei a government purely Monari hal, may truly say, it has a sovereign being to rule over it, ihat it is indivisible, and in that, sovereign, all power resides. But in a govern ment nke ours, Wv can point to no such individual. Vet, we are in the daily habit of using the term “ sme leignty.” to convey the idea <,l a controlling power, in England, it is admitted that the term soveietgn, is •erely noooiary.when applied to ihe King And wby ? because his will and pleasure alone, is not the law of the land ■'ovci< igmy m that couiitr., lesniescoiijoiiitly m ilieiw housesoi Parliament, and th* King For ifiis i. a-on we cannoi with pmpiiety say, that th. King, or either house of Parliament possess sovereignty. Yet sovei< igr.ty may be considered as indivisible, when speaking of ii as a paramount power; but when we attempt to locale it, we find it bi Id by many p< rsons. " When the word sovereignty is used in this country, it u.eans coming m<>re n., r ilia., our government. 1’ signifies that si.pn me power winch “conn ar.de what is right, and prohibits what is wiring,”or per haps we nay be permitted to sat, the whole machinery <d government We usually say, that in tins country the people constitute the sovereign. Yet, when we use this expression, it will admit ol some qnullification, because wh-re there is sovereignty, when clothed with ns tidl attributes, it at all times oveireachea every oth er power. Ih< people, when in the act of forming I his government, were sovereign. They parted with thick attribute to certain rulh rs, teservii g to themselves the power of resuming it w henever they might see pro. per to change iheir form ol government. This right mayor may not icvert-’o them, depending entirely up on their will and plea-ure. They may take it out of the hands of those who now govern, and place it in the possession ot a su gle individual, or thev may reatime the power and retain it among themselves, thereby cm.stimung a government purely <J< n.ocram al. It is • true, that the peopl. created the government, and for w ha* purpose was ii created ?S ire! yi . ul<- over them.
