snv -eoulation in any State respecting the times
nlaces' and manner Of holding elections ior Sen
stors or Representatives, unless the Legislature
II such State shall neglect or refuse to make
laws or regulations for the purpose, or from any
circumstance be incapable of making the same
and then only until the legislature of suchState
shall make provision in the premises" -
In Rhode Island, the following amendment was
proposed, and its delegates to Cngress urged to
use all their exertions to procure its adoption ::
"That Congress shall not alter. modify, or In
terfere n the times, places, or manner OF holding
elections for Senators and Representatives or
either of them; except when the legislature OF
any State shall neglect refuse, or be disabled oy
invasion or rebellion to prescribe the same. q
The convention in North Carolina adopted
declaration in precisely the7same Words whlcn
it will be perceived are exactly similar to those
of the Virginia convention, exhibiting unity OF
purpose, by these wise founders OF the repuoiic
which should not be disregarded by those VINO
now fill their places. X
Upon the whole, we look upon the Assumption
of this power by the general government as one'
most alarming and dangerous to our institutions
If Congress- has the power to enforce the cleo
ton by districts throughout the whole U. States
it has also the power to adopt and enforce the
general ticket system. And if this be so' them
it can vary system at pleasure, making N YORK
elect her members by general ticket and Penn
sylvania by districts, and rice versa, as may best
suit the purposes Of the party in power.seA Admit
this power to the extent which Mr.. BUTLER
would seem disposed to grant it, and we would
not give copper for the sovereignty q q the
States whenever corrupt majority might be DIS
posed to trample them under foot. 1t is time
that the press, and the people, were speaking out
on this subject. A principal fraught with SO
much danger, even should it be 3srnuggled into
our statute books, should not be permitted to re-
main long enough to becomela precedent which
NAV serve hereafter to introduce universal cor
rupton, and thus pave the way to our utter de-
gradation and ruin.

GRAnAas MAeAz1NE,--for JUNE, is also on
our table. We have before spoken OF the promp-
ttude and regularity with which this beautiful
monthly makesaits appearances; prompt'tude
which is worthy Of all praise, and which some
Of its cotemperares would do well to initiate.
The literary department of this work is sustain
ed with great ability by "a long slist of eminent
writers. The critical department is under the
direction of an able reviewer and is decidedly
superior, we think, in this respect to any other
of our monthly periodicals. The embeIlIsh-
= men,s are as usual, beautiful. There are two
steel plates, "The Profered Kiss, an elegant
mezzottnt, and the Anew Suspension Bridge" at
Paramount, anda Fashion plate for both sexes.

when convinced by experience Of the error into
which he had fallen, he had the good sense and
magnanimity to rotract it. Looking to the in

false pride TO make him persist in minimizing a
position which he had once assumed, after the
discovery tha, it would initiate against the ma
