ers of the Federal government as resulting from the compact to which the States were parties. These resolutions formed thereafter the corner stone of the great States Rights party, which repeatedly swept the country, and which elected Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and Jackson to the Presidency. Even the Supreme Court of the United States had declared that the Constitution was a compact to which the States were parties. The first purely juridical work on the Constitution was published in 1825 by William Rawle, an eminent jurist of Philadelphia, who, writing as a jurist and not as a politician, did not hesitate to declare that the Union was an association of Republics; that the Constitution was a compact between the States; that it depends on the State itself whether it continues a member of the Union; that the States may withdraw from the Union, and that the secession of a State from the Union depends on the will of the people. At a later period, De Tocqueville, who, in his gre

John Tyler was born in 1790; graduated at William and Mary College in 1807; in 1809 was admitted to the bar; two years later was elected a member of the Legislature, and re-elected for five successive years. His career along the pathway of an honorable distinction was rapid. In 1816 he was elected to Congress, and was twice re-elected. Ill health induced him to resign before the expiration of his term. In 1823 and the two following years he was elected a member of the Legislature, and in 1825 was chosen Governor of the State by the Legislature.

On the death of Thomas Jefferson he was requested to deliver, in Richmond, Virginia, a funeral oration, which he did on the 11th of July, 1826. It is a beautiful eulogy, and will compare favorably, in literary style and in pure sentiments and sound political philosophy, with any of the very many

for a considerable time against the government which they were endeavoring to throw off, was war and not rebellion, and must be treated as war, with all the legal consequences of war. As O'Conor said, Washington might have failed, Kosciusko did fail, but neither of them could have been treated, under the civilized code of nations, as traitors. The revolutions of the South American republics and of Greece were so treated by the Federal government. Mr. Webster, in his Bunker Hill oration, in 1825, had declared that the battle of Bunker Hill marked the dividing line between rebellion and civil war, between treason and war. It created, he said, at once a state of open public war. There could no longer be a question of proceeding against individuals as guilty of treason or rebellion. So Mr. Charles Francis Adams, the American minister to England, in June, 1861, wrote to his government that the recognition by the European powers of belligerent rights in the Confederate States relieve
