BALL!
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.
