That tho Federal Constitution was the creature of the States we think is beyond doubt; it is equally clear that the creature was not more powerful than the creator; and,the fact that the giant intellect of Daniel Webster failed to demon strate the opposite theory is to our miud sufficient evidence that it can not he proven. But, inter arma silent le-gce. What argument and logic could not do, the bayonet’s point, and the sword’s edge speed ily accomplished. The Southern people, under great provocation, but, we think, unwisely appealed the decision of tha question from the forum of reason and public opin ion to the arena of the bnttle field. Fortune was against us and in our judgment,the theory of State rights wqs-blirried side by side with the •‘lost cause.” In addition to this, if the result of onr civil war left any vestige of State rights, the de lusions of the United States Su preme Court in two recent cases wipes out and destroys that. We must therefore recognise the fact, that hereafter all Federal laws are superior to mere State lawsjand, that whenever they come in conflict the latter must yield in all cases. This is not a pleasant fact for the lover of our republican form of government to contemplate; but shutting our eyes to the realty of its cristance will not change it; pleasant or unpleasant, we will be forced to accept it, and the sooner we do so th^ better it will be for us all. This chang^ howeifr,litre almost chan's every other earthly change will not prove to be an unmixed evil—es pecially to ub of the South Wip ing out State rights will give us a Congress with all the powers of the Bnglish Parliament,winch of course are imperial. This wiH obviate one “bone of contention” between the North and South which has ex • isted since the formation of the government. It was the unwise decisions of this question in the last Congress that lost nearly all the North to the Democracy; tor, whether It be true or not, the Nor thern people regard secession and State rights as one and the same thing; hence when the Democratic leaders in Congress declared their adhesion to this doctrine, a large majority of the Northern looked upon them as secessionists in dis guise. The cause of the quarrel being removed, the quarrel will of course cease. i Another advantage that we of the South will derive from the change iB,that Grant and bis friends being in office and secure in their positions (as will be the ease i; Grant getB into office again) they will cease to slander and annoy the South, as they have been doing since the close of the war; for, no nian in his senses, at least no in- ■ tgjUgent man believes that the Re publicans, have any real love or sympathy for the negro. Their sole object has been to create excite ment for the purpose of g< tting into office; butonoe in and depend ent only upon the President—King • for retaining position, they will t hh ^en cease to annoy and persecute. Indeed we anticipate, in the event indicated, kinder treatment from our Northern “brethren” than we -v have received in the last fifty years. Nor will the South have any great cause to lament 'over .the change—,our ^liberties were k)st with the surrender of Lee. In truth there is so much of human nature in us, that we confess we would be glad to see our Northern “friends' in a like predicament with our selves—; that is to say, subject to ■Tjmpenqpj^and over-hearing mae- i been for ■ the past “It is said “sorrow j^ifj that nasg'erb Written for the Hibald. NINA; .4 TALE OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION ! BY IIKXHY TllOKNK CHAPTER XXVI. As Hulcs fell, Canada called out to the men in the boat: “Iujun no shoot now; gun emp ty—all shoot red dogs now,” and suiting the action to ti e word he caught up a loaded gun, which ex ample was promptly imitated by hie companions,and all lieing ready the command to fire was given,and all the guns were discharged at nearly the same moment of time. When the Bmoke cleared away, which required but a few seconds, the Indian who seemed to have been leader of the snvages was missing, and there appeared to bo a great commotion in the party; in point of fact, Canada had really discov- red the leader of the band, and when he fired selected him as- his mark, and succeeded in inflicting on him a mortal wound. Another Indian had been killed, and two more seriously wounded by the fire of the party in the boat. The Indians now became more careful about exposing thomsc-lves to the destructive fire of the party in the boat and sought cover in the thicket that extended close to the water’s edge. Taking this advan tage in the lull of the attack, Can ada now turned his attention to es caping from the tomahawks and rifles of the Indians who it wbb plain were now thirsting for the blood of the whites. Injun chief hurt, may be kill; dem Injun no Bhoot right now, bo we begs put out our oars and pull so hard as pall cun and so git out in water too far way from land for Injup follow; no pull hard now by ’em by take chief way, den lujun warrior ’gain find u- git scalp, no git way den.” Up to thiB tinuiNma’s attention had been engrossed wRh the con dition of Hales, who, she at fiftt ght, thought had been killed outrigl but who soon sliowjd^gns of re turning life. Hearing the last words of Canada she eagerly asked: “Is there no chance for us to escape from these cruel men ?” (‘Can't t^I^for certain Wild Rose, he replied; “din boat so heavy she not go so fast; dem In- jun got ’em canoes soon come up and den, may be take us, or kill us, andAay be nut. ’•Injun no got canoe, nCTIalk on water like mis sionary man say he frea long time ago—,den we git way safe.

Asa newspaper, This Sun believe in getting nil the news promptly, and praentiiig it in the most intelligible shape—tltcshiqio that will enable the readers to keep well abreast of the age with tho least unproductive expen diture of time. The greatest interest to the greatest number—that is the, ifiL “Injun no hurt Wild Rose,’ said Unada; “Old chief tink too much of her for dat—no let warrior hurt her, but take her in him wigwam, make her him squaw. Wild Rose no like to be squaw of great chief?’ “No, Canada,’ returned the girl with a shudder; “God knows my condition is bad enough; here lies my uncle dying, and I have no oth er relative or friend in the world that I know of; but bad as this is, it is a thousand times better than the fate you say awaits me if we are captured. I will not be cap tured by our cruel enemies, I will diefirst;it may be that death would be the best thing that could come to me now. But let us do all we cun to get back home and you shall be satisfied for your services. My uncle has enough in this boat to reward you for the trouble and dan ger you have incurred on our ac count, and if I live to get back your services shall not be forgotten; if I tie I suppose that will settle all claims; but in that event if you and the other men can save the boat and tho effects it contains,then you can divide them among your selves; and, you will find enough I hope to reward you well. • Now urge the men to row as fast os they can for I see the Indians looking us, and.I suppose they are get- ready to start aftip: us if they “Ulus' go ’shore,’ replied Canada; can’t stay out on lake all night in open boat; no Injuns bodder Wild Rose now; all gone back home.” “Do you think uncle is dying now? 1 ’ asked Nina, who all this time was crying as bitterly ns if she had lost a dear and valued friend. ‘Sartin not now,” answered Canada. “Far ’nough now to lot boat sail; Injun not follow. Wild Rose git cup of water wash him uncle and put sume brandy ip he mouth may be he talk and tell her what to do.” Nina acting upon this hint went to the stern of tho boat and quick ly returned with tho lnrge tin eup of water. Canada and the men who had been rowing; with the ex ception of the man who had been left to steer the boat, now gathered round the wounded man, and rais ing him to a sitting position wash ed the blood from his face and throat when it was discovered that the hall had penetrated the lungs. His lips were opened and a small quantity of bra ndy was forced down his throat. After a few moments,he appeared to slightly revive and open bis eyes. At first he did not ap pear to recognise the persons by whom he was surrounded until his gaze fell upon Nina when he smil ed faiully ai d motioned her to come nearer. By making a grent effort, he succeeded in speaking a few words in a tone i a little above a v^liispor. He first desired that all present should bear witness to what he said: “I have been,” said he, "a.had man, and, it is now tqp late to re repent, and what is worse still, too late to repair the great wrong 1 have done. I wanl Nina here, for that is her name,to have all I leave, for I have done her great wrong.” Here the wounded man fell hack gasping for breath, and it seemed that he would not be able to apeak again for all present now saw that he waa sinking fast. Brandy was again administered by Canada ip the hope that it would revive him sufficiently to say what he wished. Making a mighty effort he succeed ed in saying: “Look at—lockett—chest—moth er—England stole you—forgive—” Thus with a prayer of forgive ness he fell back and was caught. inThe arms of the being whom he had injured most in the world. As he was passing away, Nina fancy ing that he desired her forgiveness for his rough, harsh treatment of her, spoke to him gently saying: “Dear uncle, I forgive you freely all the wrong you have done me, and I pray that God may for give you as sincerely as I do my self.” The dying man heard and under stood what she said, and with a feeble smile lighting up his pallid face, his spirit fled into the pres ence of its Judge, who will judge it not only in justice, but also in mercy.

Bender,if von want' ry, where can be seen some of the three of these bones in the arm, one between the shouldor and el bow, and two between the elbow and wrist. The arm of the child is, therefore, very weak. When extension is made at the hand, the force it not expended upon the long firm bones, but rather upon bones brokfn at soveral points, and very loosely nmted. A small force, far less than is required to fracture a fully formed bone,will separate the cartilaginous portions, or perma nently bend them. There is also anothor form of injury which may occur at the instant. Of this I have seen several examples. It con sists in a slight displacement of the cartilages in one of the joints eith er the wrist or elbow, attended by pain, swelling and tenderness. The joint is fixed in a semiflexed posi tion, and the little fellow will not allow it to be moved or even han dled. It can be easily rectified by a surgeon, by forcible flexion and extension. Finally, by lifting a child in this manner the ligaments about the joints may be extended, and this will weaken the joints,and this weakness may remain as a per manent disability. NOTICE! NOTICE!!

Iu its comments on men and affairs, The Sun boheves that the only guide of policy should be common sense, in* spired by genuine American principles and backed by honesty of purpose.— For this reason it is, and will continue to be, absolutely independent of party class, clique, organization, or interest. It is for all, but of none. It will con* ttnue to praise what is good and rep^ l obate what is evil, taking care that its language is £o the point aud plain, be yond the possibility of being misutt- stood. It is uninfluenced by motives that do not appear on the surface; it has no opinions to sell, save those which may be had by any purchaser with two oents. It hates injustice and ruscality even moro thau it hates un necessary words, it abhors frauds, pities fools, and deplores nincompoops of every jtpecies. It will oontinuo throughout the year 1880 to ohastbe the first class, instruet the second, and discountenance the thrird. All honest with honest convictions, whether sound or mistaken, are its friends.— Aud the Sun makes no bones of tell ing the truth to its friends and obout is triends whenever occasion arises for plain speaking. These are the principals upon which The Sun will be conducted during the year to come. The year 1860 will he one in which no patriotio American can afford to close his eyes to public affairs. It is intpnsible to exngerate the importance^ of the political events which it has in store, or tho necessity of resolute vigil- lance on the part of every citizen who desires to preserve tho Government that the founders gave us. The de« bates and sets of CongriKs, tho utter ances of the press, tho exciting con test of the Republican and Democratic parties, now nearly equal in strength throughout the country, the varying of public sentiment, will all bear di* rectly and effectively upon the twenty*, forth Presidential election,to be held in November.
