q The Members of the Tuscarora

requested to attend at the Presbyterian
Meeting House in Martinsburg, or

FOR the purpose OF taking into considera-

Mr.. Tayior's amendment to the Con.
siitution.
We hail with pleasure the amend.
ment proposed by "John Taylor Of
Caroline" to the constitution of the u.
States.-It does honor to his discern
ment. The present constitution is
wofully defective. 1t readily enables
q small minority of the house of re.
representatives. to dictate president to
the United States 1t throws open
the door for intrigue and corruption
at the very crisis of most important
election-and at that great crisis,
tempts the heads OF the executive de-
partments, Cforif they should be the de.
siguated candidates,) to tempt the in
tegrity of the representatives of the
people. Ii exposes the country to all
the agitations of this fearful crisis. 1t
instigates desperate party to resort
20 many dangerous expedients to de-
feat the election of an obnoxious can
didate, and to promote the election of
their iavorite. 1t is calculated to re-
new the scenes of 1901, perhaps with
zaore sombre colouring:: for, then the
struggle was between the parts.
ans Of two candidates; whereas in
1926 the difficulty of a choice and the
desperation of the means may be en-
BANGED by the struggle between three
parties. No man who remembers
the scenes of 1601--when party spir-
1T did not shrink from the attempt to
defeat the avowed and unequivocal
wishes of the people-when there
were some men according to Mr.
Bayard, who would have Frustrated
the constitution sooner than sacrifice
their prejudices against patriot
when the proposition was suggested
on usurping the power Of appoiting
president by law, sooner than yield
to the wishes of the people--no man
can recollect these scenes, without
wishing to prevent the repetition of a
crisis which thus "makes certain stars
shoot madiy from their spheres.
Col. Taylor's amendment is calculated
TO prevent such crisis. AT the second
election, the electors have no aiterna-
tive, but to vote for one out fthe t,co
highest candidates. It's scarcely pos
sible but thai one of these must then
obtain majority Of the votes. A re-
sort to the house of representatives
would be one of the most improbable
Of human events. Under this convlc'
ton, we trust that this amendment or
the substance oft, or one sending back
the election to ne1u college of electors
may be ratified by three tourths OF the
states--and that the very next election
may be made under its auspices.

WHAT'S somewhat singular about this

that Mr.. Clarke had dream in which

three Lottery Offices in this city for it
and finally obtained it from Gillespie's

Nos. without having their visions turned
