Progress Of 1..cen,iousncs..

The perpetrator of an abominable outrage on a
modest and virtuous young woman OF this City
was brought up in the Circuit Court on Saturday,
(having evaded criminal trial by forfeiture, and
will probably to-day have melted to him some small
portion of his deserts. 1t cannot be denied that
outrages by violence and diabocal stra,agem upon
the honor and peace of those whose innocence and
weakness should be their protection from all but the
plotting vany of a fiend or the blind fury of a
brute, are on the increase in our City. The very
night that Dinger was convicted, u young GIRL
who was gorg home through the Bowery unat-
tended from the bedside of sick friend,
caught up aHd thrown into cab by two monsters
in human shape, who there held her and stitied
her cries until they had effected her ruin. No
trace Of them or the driver of the cab has yet been
obtained Every day many young girls--gener-
ally poor and friendless, often orphans-are lured
by hays, whose trade is the murder of virtue into
their deus, and there subjected 10 hattery, fraud,
druggins and violence until their ruin is accom-
eished All this goes on with the ribald and in
fdel press, owned and conducted by notorious lib.
crimes, ridiculing those who appeal to the Legis-
la,ure for laws against this hood-tidc of licen-
tousness, and foully libeling all who interpose s
defend them and on the other hand, q large por-
ton of the virtuous, confounding ingorance with
inAoceace, ana crying out against any exposure of
these horrible doings and their abettors in reputa-
bic Journals, lest the youag Be Contaminated
What is TO be done Must indeed hold our
peace and lie, crime and pollution riot with innpu-
nifty on the blight and desolation of virtue and
n,rity

against such an abuse Of accorded power, and the
South rigorous in exacsing them what fa'r
mind ever understood that the power TO act upon
the institution Of Slavery for its overthrow was
given by that section Of the Consultation which
enables an Electoral Majority (Which the Free
States steadily and decidedly cons,itute) to chuose
President OF the United States
Let no one pcrvert our position. We do NOT
say tha, the citizens of the Free States have now
no means, no power, DO right TO act adversely
upon Slavery. They have means ard powers which
existed an,eceden,ly to that Constitution, and
were not affected by it. The right to speak and
write and labor, as men, against any moral wrong
is anterior (might we not say superior y TO all
Government But the franchises growing out of
the Federal Constitution deriving their very ex.
istence from that instrument, have rgh,fal ex-
isteDce beyond the objects fox which they were IN
stituted-they canuot be used 20 effect some pur-
pose wholly aside from and adverse TO the inten-
ton and purpose of their without breach
of moral hones;y-a fragrant violation of good
faith. We can excuse the thorough-going Adolf
ZIONIST, whe, declaring the Constitution an iniqnit-
Gus compact refuses TO vote under or exercise any
franchise under it; but he who uses the power
granted By the Constitution in violation of its
scntial conditions, is guilty Of deep moral wrong.
Mr.. Clay, then, being the emphatic choice of the
grea, mass of the Wing party in every section for
next President, will undoubtedly be its candidate
IN the struggle of 1914. The objection made to
him on the ground of Slavery is one which not
only cannot properly weigh against him, but which
renders it the more imperative that he Should &c
supported. To abandon him on such grounds
would be breach of faith to the Wings OF the
South and treason to the Constitution.
OF course, no one will understand as imply
ing that there is or could be any Wing candidate
for next President stronger than Mr. Clay, or that
he cannot be elected We believe just the con-
trary. He may be defeated aay other Wing can
dda,e must be. That he will poll in "A 100000
more popular votes than any other Wing could, we
have not doubt.

The Eir., Gan for 1874.

The Loco-Foco organs are silent as the grave
with regard TO the glorious victory with which the
Wings of GEORGIA have opened the New Year.
The election for Member of Congress from the
whole State, in place of Hon. R. w. Habershan,
deceased, took place Monday the Cd inst, and
although the returns are yet incomplete, there can
be no doubt of the triumphant election of GEORGE
w. CRAWFORD, the Wing candidate. Returns
from half the State leave him $500 ahead, with
prospect that his final majority will not be less
than2 500, while it may exceed 5000. Although
the vote is naturally lighter than at regular cleo
ton, its uniform character is such as to leave no
doabt of great change in the opinions of the Peo
pie. The importance of this result, not merely in
its dusivo influence but in its positive effects, can
be only estimated by those who are aware that
Hon. JOHN MCPHERSON BERRIEN, the present
able Wing U. S. Senator from Georgia, was ar
raigned and denounced by the late Loce-Foco
Legislature, as a traitor to his constituents in
voting for como of the Wing measures of the Extra
and last Sessions whercupon he was ordered to
change front and obey the mandates of the Loco
Foco majority in the Legislature, or resign the
high trust which he had so grossly abused ! under
penalty of abiding infamy We rather think his
most instructive instructors Gone of whom is their
defeated candidate for Congress,) have received
SEINE instruction by this time

correspondence OF Inc lrlHuHe
BosroN, JAM Is, StS
In my last letter informed you that one of the
Senator'S elected TO fill vacancy in the Plymouth
District was MEMBER of the House. The gem
tIeman to whom | refer is Edward P. Little, Of
Mersh6eld, Loco-foco. 1t was supposed, of
course, that he would Immediately leave his seat
in the House and take his place at the Senate
board, agreeably to ssage and the spirit not the
letter, OF the Constitutions. But the party needed
his services in the House TO help them to send Nor
ton 10 the Senate as one of the candidates ION whom
the latter body is to select Governor, and he de-
,ermned to remain for that purpose. The Wings
feeling the injustice and untarncss of this proceed
ing determined TO do all in their power to prevent
its contamination. Yesterday, the matter came
up for consideration, when motion was made TO
assign to-day, at 10 o'clock, for the selection OF
candidates for Governor, agreeably to the Const
tuition This motion prevailed by saali major
ity, many Wings supposing that the Senator from
Marshield would meanwhile, from his sense
of propriety, If other ground, vacate his sea,
in the House This morning, however, in spite of
all the responsiveness of gentlemen Yesterday, Mr.
Little was in his place; and when a Loco-Foco
moved to proceed to the special assignment, the
Wings raised the constitutional objection that the
vacancies in the Senate not having been I" filed, -
the House could not proceed to choose the candi-
dates for Governor The subject was debated till
8 o'clock, when the House adj ourned till Monday.
SO the choice of Governor is delayed for the pres
cat. The Wings have it in their power, by refus-
ing to return the name Of Morton to the Senate,
to prevent his election Whether that power will
be exercised or not, remains tie be seen. The par.
ty, it is understood, is not yet fully agreed upen
the course best to be pursued.
Yours, truly HANCOCK.

Observation-Disclosures OF .hc Constitution.


TsESroN, JAM IS, 1912.
The frs, week Of the Legislature is passed. |
believe nearly all the subjects of general interest,
which likely to be considered, have been pre-
sented. Much dissatisfaction is expressed with
the law of the last Legislature, by which impri-
sonnent for deb, was abolished on the 4th of July
last; and there is strong inclination among the
members to modify the law to secure crcdi-
tors much possible against dishonest debtors.
Some even go for repeal; but this will not pass.
The day has gone by with US for imprisonment for
debt.
Some petitions have been presented for rcyi.
sion OF our Constitution, which ia, in some few
.pects, susceptible of Improvement. Our Gaver-
nor is cur Chancellor, and is chosen BY the Legis-
ature annually. Il Is justly thought that the
Chancellor should be elected for seven years at
least and that this confusion Of the Executive and
judiciary shoald be removed by separating the Of
hces OF Governor and Chancellor. The former il
IS also desired should be elected By the people
Another good amend r.ent would be he changing
OF The time of the meeting Of the Legislature from
October 10 January. This amendment would save
Us the expense of our Fall Session Besides these,
know of little that requires change, and Of these,
the former is rather theoretical than practical
Ell, for our Governors have been generally very
respectable lawyers-good Chancel!ots, and have
been continued in ofhce for many years. AS for a
Governor per Sc in this little State, there would be
nothing for him t. do for we shan give him the
Veto power, which is unknown to our STATE insti-
tutions and in no credit with our people.
Several other reasons, neither sage nor weishty,
are urged by soma folks, who did not consider
what they are trifng with. One is, that the Con.
stituton is too old, and that every other State in
the Union has had new one since we have! The
truth Is, our Constitution is just two days older
than the Declaration Of independence, and if oae
Is antlquated, the other must be 100.
Another reason for a change is, that our present
Constitution requires property qualification of
so for voters, which qualification our election
laws have long since construed away. Every
Wnite male, II years old, who pays tax, our law
say. Is worth $50, and shall. vote.
ne truth is, there are 10 serious defects in our
Constitution The People feel no Inconvenience.
1Aey dc nor care for change, and yet it would
net surprise ne ii one should be proposed By The
Legislature Yours, &c.

WASHINGTON, Jan. u. 1873.
yon will have observed tho Message of the Pre-
a., -,,,ly to a resolution of Mr.. BENTON pro-
pounding sundrv queries in regard TO the qainiuPle
and the late treaty with Great Britain, with
request for the why's and the wheretores eias'ns

latter treaty The reply OF the President, lwh'eh
was undoubtedly writer. By MIR. Webster,) sans'h-
isters as severe rebuke in mild language as nave
read in many day 1t is 10 be hoped that after
this the Senate viii allow Mr.. Benton 10 srumo!e

of the session if need be, before they allow them
selves 20 be worried by this interminaole growing
into adopting resolutions which imply dissstis'ac'

f.d. am no, surprised that fault IS found with
tbe omissions of that negotiation, but the Senate
cannot do so with good grace

give him public dinner with great military pa
rade. The General is day after the tar IN enter
inc for the grea, Presidential race. II the devil
is to cake the hndmost" ia this as IN some other
races, the General and another distinguished here
must take care and back out carly or that person
age will certainly have one of them
Mr.. Calhouns friends seem to be full OF hope
and speak confidently of his prospects and they
are not at all discouraged by that mighty effort OF
Mr.. Van Buren's friends lately made in Philade-
phia. But they must beware how they trust
themselves in convention Mr.. Van Buren, plays
better game in such a body than among the
people.
Every thing in the way of executive removals
and appointments is entirely suspended at present
in the hope on the pat Of the President that the
next Senate will be composed of majority OF
Loco Fecos. 1t i. very likely that he will cxpe-
rieace much more difficulty in procuring the con-
irmation of his appointments by such body than
by the Senate as composed
The debate upon the Bankrupt bill has been re-
sumed to-day. The prospect is still ilattering that
the law will be saved. Yours, MANHATTAN.
