We think Mr.. Hayne is mistaken in his cal.
culation. His amendment to the constitution
Is too late for the next election Will il be GER
t1'nty adopted VIII 3ihs of the states Ger
tatnty accede to it ?-Ifthey do no,-and there
are too many reasons To believe, they will
not-it Will then be too late 10 hold Caucus,
or lake any steps Ia avoid AN election by the
ii. of X which Mr.. Fl. so seriously depre-
cates.-ln this state of uncertainty I'D so crit
zeal point, can we trustto il Say, that CON
gress recommends the amendment. All the
large states accede to it. Congress adjourns
without caucus.-The state legislatures now
IN session adjourn without caucus. The
other Legislatures convene-and the amend
ment is lost. How then stands the case ?
the election must go to the II. of r. from
which we earnestly pray the leading politi
Clans OF The country tn save us. 1t is an al.
formative which we cannot look upon without
Understandable dismay.
We will ioin Mr.. H. in an attempt to amend
the constitution, so as To secure a choice hy
the Electors-but it is unavailing TO amply i
to the pending election. The politician who
relies upon it f"r this election, dcceives himself
and he deceises oihers.-We kno,e Of no pruc-
tlcd0te erpedient at this time, but the old
Congressional nomination.
