Judge Parker's charge to the Grand Jury of Frederick county, Va. The following is the main portion of Judge Richard Parker's charge to the Grand Jury of Frederick county, to which allusion was made yesterday: Gentlemen of the Grand Jury:--We meet together at a most unfavorable time for the calm and proper discharge of our duties.--War, with its attendant evils, is raging along our borders, and seems each day to be approaching nearer and nearer to our homes and firesides. There is not one of us who can avoid partaking of the excitement which such a condition of affairs has aroused; and yet we must be careful, lest under its influence we needlessly trample down some great safe-guard of our liberties, or neglect duties imposed upon us, or perform them in a careless or inefficient manner.

y of its exercise, because that question comes not within the range of judicial inquiry,) has long been my well-considered opinion; I may say I have never entertained a doubt with regard to it. When in June, 1776, our State threw off the English yoke, and declared herself a free and independent State, she at once became invested with all the rights of sovereignty.--She has never, so far as I can discover, at any time diverted herself of any of these rights. He people are now, as they were in 1776, and from that period have always been, a separate people, with every right that belongs to a free and independent nation. When on the 25th of June, 1788, she became a member of the Federal Union, she in no proper sense surrendered or lost any portion of her sovereignty. Her accession to the Union was simply an expression of the will of her people, in the exercise of their sovereignty, that certain governmental potters should be administered through the Government at Washington, whilst the

And as by the Ordinance of the 17th April last, which has been ratified by the recent popular vote, the State has declared that the Federal Government has perverted, to the injury of her people, the powers conferred upon it, I do not see how we can question her right, thus reserved, to resume to herself the powers she had granted to that Government. You perceive, gentlemen, I speak solely of the right of the State, her lawful power, to withdraw from the Federal Union. In this forum we can consider no other questions than tho

Not withstanding those grants of powers, it was her indubitable, unalienable and indefensible fight, as an independent nation, to reform, ulter or abolish any government she had established for herself — that which was administered through the Federal agents, as well as that which was administered by her own exclusive servants. Of this right she could not deprive herself. The people of 1788 could not take from the sovereign people of 1861 the great right of modifying, for entirely abolishing, any government which had in their opinion become oppressive or injurious. Then again when our State in 1788 ratified the Federal Constitution, she did it with this declaration, which is made a part of her act of ratification, "that the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, may be resumed by them, whenever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression."--whilst she thus
