It seems that the edtor of the News is deter- 1 mined to construe the remarks we wrote in 182.>, | ns containing ilu* doctrine advocated by the mil- i lifters of 1834. And we arc snip ised that the j intelligent editor should still maintain that our re marks support the principle of entire sovereign ty of llie states, notwithstanding the federal st i tut ion, and t lie sovereign powers therein dele gated la the federal government. The editor | of the New s brings in as authority, Coi. Troup. «\ h« maintains the absolute-sovereignty of tin- i elates. We admit that this gentleman is high j authority with us ; and, therefore, we maintain, j lik« him, the absolute sovereignty ot rlit* states. ; The states, possessing this absolute sovereignty, j .can, if they choose, change the federal govern j 'mont for another. They can, il they please. | dissolve the union ns now existing. The states j now, can do what sovereigns have power to do The stales can declare war, make peace, lav taxes and duties on imports. The states can do | nil these tilings, because they possess an abso ; lilt* sovereignty. But how do they exercise this absolute sovereignty ? Through the m«di um of a federal government, winch the states have esiahlished, and to wtiieh they have deb. i gated tlis authority to exercise the absolute so- ; ▼ereignty which they conjointly possess. It the | states possess this absolute sovereignly, docs i one state possess u ? No, as long as she be j longs to the confederation. Before the eon fade- j ration,-aach state possessed absolute.sovereign- { tv: but the moment it sanctioned tiie federal j 7 i constitution, it parted with the most essential j .powers of sovereignty, whith were delegated hy the states to one common government. It that state secedes from the union, or if the union he dissolved, then everv state resumes the so. i vsreign powers with which it had parted, and j pospysses the absolute sovereignty to which it j was entitled before it entered into the union. Can a state declare war ? No. Can it make peace ? No. If it cannot, where is the abso. j lute sovereignty ? The federal government dc- I dares war. Can a state nullify the act declar ing war ? No, The sovereign power sf de- j elsring war was delegated to the federal govern, ntent, and each state sanctioned the prohibition expressed in the federal constitution for a siaie such a sovereign p-wer. It ie idle to talk of the absolute or entire sovs of j a state, while under the federal compact, and governed hy tiie provisions of the fed oral con stiluiio.a. Let the union be dissolved, then encli state becomes absolutely and entirely sovereign ; but when tin ted as they are, each of the states must he governed by the articles ot the federal ; constitutions. '1 he states have not parted with i nil their sovereign powers. With the sovereign j powers retained, the federal government cannot | meddle; if that government were to rnedriie | with tin* powers retained by the states, it would i be the duty of the stale, or states, interfered with, to resist the violation of tiie rights never parted with. When Georgia resisted, she resist edthe attempt made by the Federal Government to encroach upon the sovereign powers winch she ! had retained A lien she entered into the confed eration; but she never did resist the powers con stitution illy delegated to the common govern nient, and constitutionally exercised.

I Report of the Select Committee of Inquiry on Drunkenness. The select committee appointed to inquire in to ih<- extent, cause 'and consequences of the prevailing vice of intoxicati m among the labour ing classes oi the United Kingdom, in order to ascertain wheiher any legislative measures can he devised to prevent the further spread ol so great a national evil, an I to whom the several petitions presented to the House, were referred, proceeded to e x aimne a great numher and vanety of witness s from clitlert-ni parts ol the United Kingdom and m various ranks and professions ol luc, and have agreed to the following report : J.—Extent of the Ecu.. 1. Thnt it appears to your committee, from the evidence taken before them, that the vice of intoxication has been for some years past on tiie dicline in the higher tmd'middle. ranks ol society, hut has increased within the same period among the labouring classes, and exists at present to h verv great extent in the population ol England, Scoiland, and Ireland, and in the seapoit and maiiuhn luring towns, as well as :n Utv agricnlm i rui districts, including in its victims, men, wo | men, ami even children. JI Rkstote caitses of its production. 2. ”1 bat among the renm e causes of the in temperance winch stdi prevails, may he enume rated the influence ol example set by the upper classes of society, when habits of intoxication were more Tcqntt in such ranks than among their j inferiors in station. I hat many customs and I courtesies still retained from a remote ancestry, I of mingling the gi tt or use of intoxicating drinks. I with almost every important event in life, sOeh as ! the celebration of baptisms, marriages and fune rals. miniversanes, holy. Hays and festivities, us well as in the daily in*etcbauge of convivial en tertainments, and even in the commercial trans actions of purchase and sale. 111. Immediate causes of its extension. j 3. That among the immediate causes ot tiie i increased prevalence ot this vice among the j humbler clashes of so-ietv. may be mentioned I i the increased number and force of the ternpia ■ions placed in their daily path hy the additional ! establishment of places at which intoxicating drinks are sold ; the number now nemg consul- | 1 cred, from die aveng- of several districts in I England, Scotland, and Ireland, lo be not it-ss 1 Mom one sti' h place to about every twe ity fami I lies throughout the Uniieu Kiiugd in, and the in i creased facihlies of ohtaining the dang-ron« grat I ificaiioii of the moment which tiiese afford, by the ! reduction m the duty on legally distilled spirits, j by the reduction in the price occasioned by ad j mixtures v illi tin* of illegally distilled spirits; j by the additional allurements presented by eve>y I new competitor, and by the very small sums less ! even than a peimy, lor which drams ot an intoxu I canng crink can now lie procured. IV. rpNSF.Q’ ENCr? TO INOIVIDUAT. CHARACTER, i 4. That the consequences or the vice ot intox- , | ication among the humbler classes, and the pre : valence of intemperate habits and prenicions cus 1 toms encouraging such habits among the middle j and lug ter rauits, are so rnanv, and so fearm! to eonleiuplate, that it is as difficult as it is painful to enumerate even 'he outlines of them, and to . iirsue them in all their melancholy and fatal de j tails would require a volume. 5. That the following arc only a few ot the i evi's directly springing from this haneml source; f> Destruction ot health, disease in every form i and shape, premature decrepitude in the old, ■ stunted growth, and general debility and decay j in the young : ;oss oi file by paroxysms, apoplex ies, drowmngs. burnings, and accidents of va j nous kinds ; delirium .tremens, one of the most I awful afflictions of Immunity, paralysis, ini.jcy, : j niadness. and violent death, :is proved by name 1 rous mcdieai witnesses who have made tins the | subject of their long and 0u refill investigation. 7.

VI. — Remedies to be Applied. 21. That theremerlii sto be applied to the cure ot evtis so deep y rooted, so long estabi shed, s • wide v spread, and so strongly supported by sel fish iiidulgence- ignorance, prejudice, custom, and pecuniary interests, are two.old—first, iegis lative, and secondly, moral; and the-e again di vide themselves into immediate and prospective. 22. That the right to exer-.vise legislative in ! teiderence for the c»ri ecnon of any evil which I ass-sets the public weal cannot be qaestioneed i without dissolving society into its primitive ele ments. and going hack from the combined and co oner live state of civilization, with ail its wholesomejand lawfully imposed restraints, to the isolated and lawless condition <a savage and soli larv nature. 23. That the power to apply' corrective, by le gislative meat s, cannot be without sup posing 'he sober, tlie just, and tiic moral portion of unable to con: mi ti e excesses of and disorder ly, winch votiid be to incapacity to muintLin tlie first by in -24. Thijt the Sound policy of applying fegisla live powei to direct, restrain or punish, as the case rn ;v require, the vicious and contaminating propensities of the evil disposed, cannot be d s pnted without, invalidating the right of Govern ment to protect the innocent from the violence of the guilty, which would in effect declare ill gov erruticut to be useless, and all lawful authority to he .vithont any intelligible object or end —an ad mission that would undermine the very first prin ciples t*i society. X. I MMEDt.VTB REMEDIES. 25. The rerndjjl es which appear to your com- | mit.tee to be desirable and practicable to he put I into immediate operation may be thus enumera ted : 25, The separation of the bouses in which in- ( toxicatiag drnks ere sold into four distinct clas -cs—l. houses for the sale of beer only, not to be consumed on the premises ; 2, houses tor the sale officer only, to be consumed on. the premi ses, ami in which refreshments of lood inuy al so be obtained ; 3, houses for the stile of spirits only, not to be consumed on the premises; 4, houses for the accommodation of strangers and travellers, where bed and board m:tv*bc obtain ed. and by whom spin s, wine and beer may be Sold. 27. The limiting the number of such houses ] of each class, in proportion to population in towns j and to distance and population in country dis- | tricts, (he licences for each to he annua/, and j granted hv magistrates and municipal authorities, j rather than hv the Excise, to be chargeable with j larger annus 11 v than are now paid tor them, i especially lor the sale of spirits, ami to be subject | to progressively increasing tines for disorderly | conduct, and forfeiture ol licence, and closing up j o! the houses for repeated offences. 2S.

The discontinuance of a!! issues of ardent spirits [except as medicine under the direction of the medical officers] to the navy and army on i all stations, and to every other body of men eni- ] ployed by, o r under the control ot the Govern- i ment. and the substitution of other articles of wholesome nutriment and refreshment instead. Toe abolition ol ail gairisou and barrack canteens at ho ne and abroad, and substituting some other and better mode ot Idling up the leisure of men confined w.thin military lons and lines, the opto ions ot most of the military officers examined on this point hv your committee being, that the j drinking in such canteens is the most fertile ; source of all the insubordination, crime, and cun- ! sequent punishment inflicted on the men. 33. The withholding from the ships employed | in the merchant service me drawback granted to them on for- ign spirits, by which they are n .w enabled to ship their supplies of thar arti tde at a reduced scale of duty, and are thus in duced to take on board a greater quantity than is necessary, to the increased danger ot the pro perty embarked, and the injury ot tne crew. 34. The prohibition of the practice of paying the wages ot workmen at puuiic-iiouses, or any other place where intoxicating drink* arc sold. 35.

IT. Tiie prohibition of the meetings of all friendly societies, sick clubs, money.clubs, ma- j sonic lodges, any other permanent associa. j tio- s of mutual benefit, and relief at pubhe-hou- j ses or places where intoxicating drinks are sold, i as such insrimibns were not formed expressly I for the bcnefiit if such public houses, and when j they are hnna fide associations oi mutual heip in time ot need, ton with tar more economy anil , much grea'er ftncacy rent an ! occupy ior their j periodical mee’ngs equally appropriate rooepe n other places. i i i j 38.

The reduction of the duty on tea, coffee, ■ | and sugar, and ali the keafthy and uninroxicating articles of drink in ordinary use, so as to place : within the reach of a!) glosses the least injurious j beverage on much cheiper terms than the most . i desirnelive. • | 40.

Xl.—Ultimate op. Prospective Remedies. 4.7. The ultimate or prospective remedies which have been strongly urged by several wit. I nesses, and which they think, when public opin. I ion shall be sufficiently awakened to the great I national importance of the subject, may be safe | ly recommended, includes the following: | 43. The absolute prohibition of the iraporta i tion from any foreign country, or from our own i colonies, of distilled spirits in any shape. 47. The equalled absolute prohibition of all 1 dieiillation of ardent spiriis Irom gram, the most i important part of the :ood of man, in our own i eo .atry. ! 48. The restriction of distillation from o’her materials to the purposes o* the arts, manufac tures, and medici. e, and the confining the whole sale and retail dealing in such articles to chym ists, druggist?, and dispensaries alone. Xll.—Examples up other-Countries. 49. Your committee have, in the course of their investigation, directed their inquiries as to tiie steps taken and effects produced by legisla tive and by moral means'.in America more espe cially, and they gratified to learn the following facts : S ; J. Thar in the American navy and army the issue of spirits by the government has been dis continued, and nutritious articles of equffl value subs’ituted with benefit and contentment to all parties. 51. That no less than 700 vessels tn the rner chant service now sail from different ports in America, and to all climates, arctic and tropical, with no ardent sp rits on board excepting only a small quantify in the medicine chest, tor occa 1 sional medicine use. 52. That of tiie American ships entering the port of Liverpool, 9 out of every 10 are navigat ed on captain, officers, and crew, agreeing to ab stain from the use of spirits, except as medicine ; and no supply beyond the very limited quantity used as such is taken on hoard. i 53. That such ships obtain freight in prefer < ence to English vessels not navigated on those j principles, in consequence of the public convic j tion of their greater safety, from the sobriety of ; iho'O on board. 54. That some English vessels have recently been fitted out and sent to sea from London, Li i verpoo], Glasgow and Greenock, in imitation of 1 the Americans ; that they have been insured at a ; * lower rate of premium than that paid on other i ' vcss Is not so abstaining from taking spirits on | i board, and that experienced merchants, ship i f owners, insurance h r okers, and others, examined : before your committee, express their conviction j that such abatement in the rate of insuiance in J such ships is fully warranted by the actual dimi | nudon ot the risk of injury and loss. j i 55. That in the metropolis of the U. States ] the highest encouragement lias been given to the . promotion of temperance societies, and Irom tiie - united efforts of public and private individuals so j great a reformation lias been effected that no less than 2000 persons hivq voluntarily abandon- ; ed the distillation of ardents spirits, and vested ’ their capital in other and more wholesome pur- , suits, and upwards of 6000 persons have abun- I Honed the sale of ardent spirits, and embraced 1 other more useful occupations. , XIII. — Co ncluding Suggestions. 55. Your committee, deeply impressed with j the long catalogue ol evils which tiiey have en deavored thus briefly and faintly to describe, and , feebng the strongest and most earnest desire to . ; lessen their number and amount, humbly ven- i i ture to suggest to the house the import mce of ! drawing the attention of Ins Majesty’s Govern- | mem to the immediate intioduction of such ini- i i provemems as your committee have respectlul 1 ly recommended in the navy and army, and in ‘ tiie ship* employed in tiie merchant service, to | the causing such other ameliorations to be made 1 in this respect as can bo effected by their au- | tnority wheiever that may extend, and to the j ■ public declaration of their determination to in- 1 troduce early in the ensuing session some gene ral and comprehensive law lor the progressive diminution mid ultimate suppression of all the existing facilities and means of intemperance, as tiie root and parent of almost every other vies. 57. As your committee are fully aware that one of th« mos* important elements in success full legislation is th« obtaining the full sanction , j tm 1 support of public opinion in lavqr of the ■ j la'vs, and as this is most powerful and most en. daring when based op careful investigation and | accurate knowledge as the result, they venture I suit further to recommend the etreuhitio-i during the recess sanction of the Legislature, of an tlid evidence obtained by tins inquiry in portable volume, as was done with ibe Poo« Law Report, to which it would form the bed auxil.ary : the natiojiaf cost of intoxication and | iis consequences bejng tea fold in amount that I of the poor rates, and pauperism itself bemgj indeed chiefly caused by habits of intemperance, i of which it is but one out of the many meba . ciioly and fatal results.

The last, which oc curred on Sunday week, is said to have dona greater,injury in many places than the first. The Stages have hardly yet resumed their won ted regularity, and the wonder is, how they can get along at nil, wiih the roads in so disordered a condition. The passengers in the Stage from the North, on the night after the late Fresh, came very near losing their lives at Crab Tree Creek, in this vicinity, a stream which, in or dinary- times, may be easily waded.
