AT HALL, """Lltlilk Ui'. SeiuiUay wai uulavorable foi peraooi of ikallng proclivitiei. At ta early boar of the rooming tbe Chinook Wind commenced to blow, and tbe ice became too soft for further eport. Skates were at a dis count, and the look of diauppointment on tbe , faces of tbe rising generation were at once pitiful and ludicrous. While the freeze-up - ws looked npon as a God-send by the skating world and the coal-oil fraternity, it threatened to prove a serious affair to weather bound , travelers and people whose supply of coal-oil had run short. Tbe Chinook Is liable to reverse all this, and holders of tbe illu ' minatinir fluid will probably take $1 f5 - for wbat they asked $3 tor yesterday. Speak lng of our mid winter Sirocco, it reverses the old fable of the Sun and the Wind ; for while the most dazzling beams of tbe former can ' not iuduce tbe Earth to strip off Us winter clothes, the Chinook comes w(tb Its fervid . breath and the snow and ice disappear, Tbe Chinook is the wind which blows good " as we have before blnted, for everybody but boys on skating thoughts intent, and specu lators In goods In 11 a corner," The caption of this article la tbe title to a pamphlet containing au " Address to the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Dartmouth College:" uly 19, 1865. A copy of it has been sent to this office, and as it is neither marked "pri vate " or "confidential," we infer that it is intended to attract notice, criticism or con- emnation. Tbeaotbor of the address Is not one of those who have made indelible marks on the his tory of the epoch, but simply an individual who got too full to bold all that he thought be new, and in consequence le himself loose on the great, absorbing question of the day tbe relation of tbe ex rebellious states to the Union. In the first place, he proves very cooclu- ively that the rebellious states were never out of the Union. This is proved this way : Tbey had no right to go out of tbe Union, either under tbe Constitution, or by reserva tions allowed to the states; for if they bad this right, wo were wrong in coercing them back, and tn allnw thin wnnlil ha tn nrknonlerlira that our victories are but murders on a big scale, Christmas & Holiday Presents. and the "awful rule and right supremacy " of the government, simply a hideous tyranny. So Ibe'South was never out of the Union, but always, and now, in it. Mr. Crosby then proceeds to define States Rights, and here we commend him to tbe tender mercies of the Slate Itightt Democrat. He siys states have four rights, which are thus enumerated: Three-fourths of tbe states may amend the Constitution. States have a right not to be dismembered, except on certain expressed conditions. The right to be represented in Congress. States have a right to coutrol their internal JACKSON ENGINE COMPANY affairs, except where the contrary has been provided for in the Constitution. The third privilege of tbe states under tbe Constitution, it is feared, will lead to future complications. By virtue of it, Mr. Crosby thinks tbe southern states will probably try to control tbe colored population in those states. He sitys that " We start bick iu horror from a conclusion so fraught with danger to tbe nation and liberty." Ileproposeaan alternative: the ex-rebellious states were out of the Union; be argues it ; it will not work, and now for his patent theory of tbe relations of the stales. Tbe word "Union" he says has two different meanings. First, tbee U the Uuion of tbe states, but tbe territories are not included ; there is a govern ing Union, and a governed Union. The terri tories belong tbe last; so by this, while the territories are in tbe Union for the purpose of being governed, he infers that tbey aie outside of it for all tbe purposes of participation in the government. But then the rebellious communities are states; here Mr. Crosby's ingenuity is supreme, 11 A 1- mit they were states," says he, "but tbeir connection with the Union was purely voluntary, and tbey bave voluntarily with drawn from tbe rights and privileges of that connection; bence, tbey are out of the Union for all purposes of participation in the gov ernment tbey are simply territories, in fact." Having got them into this position, Mr. Crosby thinks it will be pretty easy to man age tbem. We have been particular to make mention of this man's theories, as tbey appear to bave some open and undisguised supporters in this country. Tbey represent about tbe average sense of an order of men woo tbink to build up a party inside of tbe Union organization, by pandering to lust ot dominion. A party based on this principle has many elements of strength, but cannot endure. Its chief attrac tion, is tnal inclination, wnku most people have for managing other people's affairs. Tbe strangest part of it is that while they are doing Ibis, tbey labor under tbe delusion tbat tbey are attending to tbeir own. Mr. Crosby's address is circulated by the Loyal Publica tion society. It is fortunate for tbe Union cause tbat bis ideas are not common in tbis country, or tbat cause would have couipara tively few supporters. C. 8. Millf.r, BlO.
