AMENDMENTS 70 THE CONSTITU
TION.

By reference to the report OF Congress-
ional proceedings it viii be seen that some
important alterations are contemplated ~
the federal constitution. resolution ~
before the Senate proposing certain amend
ments to be laid before the different States,
snd If approved of Ivy three-fonr,hs, TO be
Incorporated as part Of the consl'tution.-
The effect Of these amendments VIII ne to

pendent Of the Executive. by vesans me
power Of appointment in CONGRESS; ana 70
nrevent members of Congress from receiV-
inc en- appoinfmcnf underline General Gov
eminent until two years after they have VI
Gated their seats. The intention no donh'
is to s,rip the executive Of its prerogat'vfs,
which the experience Of the last few yeir'
has proved ia I've too extensive and t"rnlha-
bic. Another q ,od result will be to relieve
the President of all anxiefv and trouble n
tnnt securing his election for the next term
thus stopping ND nj once the source OF lnnn'
merale abuses and intrioues. Our chiel
magistrate will, then have nonght TO engage
his mind but the ard,,ous duties Of his office
and the oversight of the commonwealth
With par politics, factions and cabals, nc
need have nothing 10 do. To act out the
character Of the Father of his Country will
hereafter he the pride and ambition OF HIM
that fills the executive chair.
The same amendments must also exer-
else very wholesome influence upon Con-
gress. At The present time the majority oi
the members are so busy in scramb'ing for
the loaves and fishes, that they entirely ne
glcct the business Of their constituents.
The interests Of the public are too often
sacrificed to the base subserviency ofparty.
The road TO Congress has become the road
| to preferment and honors, and ambitious and
corrupt politicians strive ioobtain seats there
not IN promote the public good, but to adj
vance heir own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Hence
we find among tie members so many time
servers, svcophants, and mean suPpliani:
for Office. Hence the public business is 81
much impeded bv political sir'ies and bick
erinys. No moinn can be madc-no resp
luton propnscd-no bill .ffered, but that il
is on the instant converted into party que.
ton, and thus months are consumed in frui
less debate. The country hns suffered long
enough from these mischefs and abuses
and IT is gratifying to lean that remedy i:
about to be applied. Shoald the resoiuiio,
pass Congress, and the Amendments he rat
flied by the states, we have no dcut that
happy revolution will be effected in STAT,
Ulcers, and every friend Of his coun'r,
would bail the eve as contamination dc

for the best, under the conviction that tn,
country would be benefited by the propose,
