WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. ————— . Sxcxsston No. Il. To StzexorHEn tHe Union Was THE Lavine Osect or Cononass in RecomMEXDING, THR CONVENTION tn FraMixo, AND THE PEOPLE IN ADortine THE Presext Cons iTUTION. To the People of the ‘sol. ~\ In our first number we have shows that the States composing the Federal Union from 1778 to 1789, had solemnly plighted their faith to each other in the Articles of Confederation that the Union should be ‘‘perpetual.”» Theét Articles constituted the Constitution of the United States until 1789, when they were merged in our present Constitution We wiil now show that the object of the change ‘was not to relieve the States from thetr perpetwai obligation, or in any way to weaken the Federal Union, but to give it greater strength and furnish it with means to perpetuate itself by relieving it from dependence on the Stateg for the execitién of its acts. By the Articles of Confederation, Congress had power to determine the amount of revenue neces- sary to be raised for the service of the United States, and apportion it among the Stetes; but whether the taxes should be levied or duties imposed and collected depended on the State authorities. The consequence was that not Jong after the close of the revolutionary war, the refasal or neglect of some of the States to fulfill their Federal obligations in that respect, the United States found themieslves without means to support the public credit.or perform the func- tions then intrusted tothem. It therefore became necessary that the United States should have power to levy taxes and duties and collect them without the ald or interposition of the States.. This required that the United States should have independent legislative, executive and judicial Powers, together with the means of executing their acts and decisions. To such a pass had the Reglect or misconduct of some of the States brought the affairs of the United States that there ‘was imminent danger of a dissolution of the Union from the want of self-sustaining powers. The history of the United States for some years after the close of the Revolutionary war, is replete with difficulties growing out-of weak and unsta- ble government, and with expedients proposed by the statesmen of that day, to put an end'to them. Finally, the minds of all intelligent and patriotic mem settled down in the conviction, that an effectual remedy was to be found only in a thorough revision of the federal constitution, and the delegation to the United States of sufii- ctent powers to enable them to command respect at home and abroad, and especially to preserve the federal union. This conviction found ex- pression in a resolution of Congress, adopted on the 21th of February, 1787, in the following words, viz: “ Resolméd, That in the opinion of Co 1s expedient, that on the second Monday in May next, a convention of delegates, who shall have been by the several States, he held at Phila |a, for the sole ex) purpose of revising the Articles of Con: jon, and report- ing to Congress and the several Legislatures, such MONDAY......00.......

Coxsmnvativs Mretixne In New Yorx.—A private meeting of prominent citizens in New York city was held on Friday evening, James De Peyster Ogden presiding. Mr. Monroe, secretary, proposed 2 Northern convention to put down abolitionism. Mr. Gerard opposed the proposi- tion, saying that the whole North was a blaze of abolitionism, and that the Union was already dissolved. A committee of five was appointed, to whom the whole subject was referred. Personal. ~-** Benj. G.

Virginia stated the object to bé, ‘‘ devising and discussing suci: alterations and further provisions as might be necessary to render the Federal Con- stitution adequate to the exigencies of the Union.”” North Carolina stated the object to be ‘to dis- cuss and decide upon the most effectual means to remove ¢he defects of the Federal Union, and to Procure the enlarged purposes which it was in- tended to effect.” South Carolina stated the object to be ‘‘devising and@ discussing all suck alterations, clauses, arti- cles, and provisions as might be thought neces- sary to render the Federal Constitution entirely adequate to the actual situation and the future good government of the confederated States.”’ All the other States stated their object in sitcilar language—ail concurring in the project of giving railroad companies by which goods and provi- sions for the relief of Kansas are shi at mere- ly nominal rates of freight if consigned to the Chairman of the Committee, General Pomeroy, Atebison,and marked ‘Kansas Relief.” They will be distributed throughout the Territory, or sent to any pea county, town, or smocia- bye Ee eeeecniaeiils en ‘ A_ resolution was warning ple of the East = giving money to =. of theee not having endorsement of the Territorial Central Committee.

Totty was executed in a valley a short distance west of Richmond, Va , last Friday, for the murder of his sister-in-law, Catharine J Thom, on the 18th of July last. "The subjoined particulars of the murder and execution we make up from the Richmond Dispatch and Enquirer: Totty was apperently about twenty-five years of age, quite bendsome in Se een and very amiabie in disposition, et having been known to engage in an alterca ofany kind until about the time of the murder. About four years ago he married one of the daughters of Wm. Thom, an ol@ citizen, and soon became connected with the night watch of Richmond, which position he filled with entire satisfaction until October, 1859, when he became addicted to intem: resignec his place. From that peri, the Ist of July lest, Totty kepta small g at the corner of Grace and Monroe streets, in Henri- co ee where his wife, her father and sister Tes! a On the morning of the 15th of July, Totty vis- ited the residence of bis father-in-law, fe- airing to the kitchen, found Catharine J. Thom, ts. Adams, and a young man in the act of eat- ing breakfast. He drew up a chair near to where Miss Thom was sitting, and was asked to partici- = in the meal, but declined. He then asked er whether she would go away with him. Spe declined to do so With this he drew two pistois. laced them on the table, and again demanded to now if she would leave with him. On ber again declining, he told her to take one of the —— and shoot him, and that he would shoot er with the other. Sy; jing him to be joking. Miss Thom told bim not to act so foolish, and on seeing Lim pick up the weapon and aim one at her, she attempted to seize it. Just at that instant the pistol exploded, the ball entering her stomach about three inches above the navel, and passing entirely through ber body, of ber back near the death that night. When the day, the un turned bis and clench: left hand close, and com ing his lips, he muttered somethi: an @ moment, seemed to be in a bitter agon: and toen he got out but it was.only momentary, of the wagon and walked up the steps witha fhe platform be took off bis quick step. held it in petit hands bebind his back, and union” already in existence, The object of the Convention which framed the Constitution, in this respect, is shown in the letter signed by ‘‘George Washington, President,” transmitting that instrament, as framed by them, to the President of Congress. He says: In all our deliberations on this subject we Sept steadily in view that which appears tous the greatest interest of every true American, TUE CON- SOLIDATION OF oun Union, in which is involved our i eg ty, felicity, safety, perhaps our national existence.”” Thus, we have, distinctly avowed, the leading object of Congress which recommended the call- ing of the Convention, and of the Convention itself after they had finished their work. The Convention proposed that the Constitution framed by them should be submitted for ratifica- tion, not to the Legisiatures of the States, but toa Convention in each State chosen by the people thereof, and Congress adopted their recommenda- tion. Conventions were held, the proposed Con- stitution was ratified, and thus became the act of the people. Their objects in ratifying it are set forth in the preamble, and foremost among them is the increased stability 6f the union. “We the people of the United States,” say they, “in order to form a more perfect union,?’ $e., “do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” It was unnecessary to repeat in the Constitution that the union should be }, because on its face it purports to be of unlimited duration, and contains witbin itself the means of perpetu- ating its own existence.

By her Convention she declared that on her admission into the Union by Congress, the Constitution of the United States should (in their own words) ‘‘be binding on us and the peo- ple of Vermont Fonzven.”” Yet, who at thatday supposed it was more binding on the people of Vermoat than it was on the people of South Caro- lina? It thus appears that Congress, the State Legis- latures, the Philadelphia Convention, and the people of the States in exchanging the Articles of Confederation for our present Constitution, in- tended to give additional strength and security to the Union. Yet, ifthe doctrine of secession be sound, they did not understand their own work and exchanged a ‘perpetual union” for one which any discontended State may break up at pleasure! In another article, I shall endeavor to show that the men of that day did not fail in their but in fact added strength and stability to the Preexisting Union.
