CoNsrtTuTioNAL REFORM BY reference TO a re-
port in another column, il will be seen that move
rnent has been commenced by some of our most
influential citizens and many OF our best juriss, to
secure various changes in the Constitution Of this
State, which shall vest certain powers in the people
which are now exercised by the Executive and the
Senate, and transfer others to courts and persons
who shall derive their authority Immediately from
the people The Hon. Robt. II. Norris in his brief
remarks which we have reported, gives a clear, con
denseo view oil the objects proposed but we may
here enumerae some OF them, for the greater conve-
nience of those interested and that they may be the
more readily comprehended
We find, them in the first place that the conven-
ton seeks a separation OF the legislative, executive
and judicial departments, inasmuch as such sepa
ration is deemed vitality important IN our political
organization, 10 ensure the independent action
Of the parts without any preponderating influence
Of either. and also. 10 divest the Senate of all u-
ccislpower. II proposed further, to impose such
restraints upon the power TO create public debts, as
viii prevent their increase without the express as
sent of the people, except in of war or insur-
rection. il is likewise proposed absolutely to pro-
hbit the grant of special privileges and TO give the
amGe ecurity TO the rights of property and of
labor against the exactions of power Another
proposed reform is designed to secure the common
school literature deposit and other trust funds
from conversion or destruction by the legis-
.ative power. Safe and certain limits are sug-
gested TO The powers OF all municipal and corporate
bodies to create debt and impose burthens on those
residing or owning property within their taxing
powers; and limitation of the offices of govern.
men 10 functions strictly governmental, and to the
smallest number that can insure efficient public ser.
vice for moderate compensation, and the refer
euce of their appointments, far as practicable TO
the people, and to the bodies nearest, most depen-
dent on, and responsible to the people There are
many others, some OF which are forcibly set forth
in the remarks of his honor, the Mayor, but they
are all republican in their character, for they are
designed To limit delegated powers, where expe-
Renee has shown the necessity OF limitation, and
the resumption OF those rights by the people, which
legislative usurpatlon has wrested from them.

From the above curious admlXture,ol
majorlties for tickets of every political
hue, it will be seen plainly that in the
election for governor, and in that alone,
can be seen the political attitude Of our
county. We did not before the cleo
ton, and we do not now claim any 9TH
er as the test. A thousand personal and
other considerations influenced the votes
for other candidates; and besides, many
wings refrained from voting for con
gressionaI ticket altogether, as will be
seen in the fac, that Howard (the most
popular with the wings of any candl-
date running) falls short of Clayton 100
votes, and Kendall the hindmost 207
votes or half the whole number Clay
ton received and would have fallen 100
votes f!rlhcr behind il his name had not
been printed on the anti-bond ticket
thus deceiving many Of the unsuspccting
Of his own party. A good many wings
took the Congressional candidate pill
as 'choice Of evils" though it was
hard to take, Clayton and Williams
majority over Brown is 11O--which
shows this to be bond-paying county
by that difference-yet Thompson beat
Howard for Congress SO votes, and the
average majority Of the candidates on
that ticket is H. If the Wings had run
a Congressional ticket, the average whig
majority, on the other hand, would have
been 100 or upwards-about one fourth
of the votes; and if the result here is
any test Of the rest Of the State, the
anti-bond Congressional ticket is elect
ed, as we feared and predicted would
be the case.
We fully believe, and think we are
warranted in saying that no inconside-
rable portion Of the votes for Brown
were given by bond payers who would
not desert their party on that question.
We believe that on the simple question,
distracted from all others, "shall tho
bonds be paid" this county would give
not less than three votes t o one for pay
ing. But as we have consented to make
the gubernatorial election the test, we
will set down the county bond-paying
by 10 votes.
The majority for Col. Lumpkin in
this county is the result of his personal
popularity at home, and will not be pre-
tended to be any test of political senti-
ment, he having beaten every democrat
in the field. lie stands pledged to vote
for wing U. S. Senator. And again,
the minority for Killebrew is no tests
party lines not having in reality been
drawn in either case, and Brahan re-
ceiving large portion of the democra-
tic votes.
As fast as the returns come in from
other counties we shall insert them in
the table which will be found in another
column.

The Princess de JoinvilIe.

The Paris correspondent Of the Lon
don Court Journal, gives the accoun,
which follows Of the young Brazilian
bride of the Prince de JoinviIle:
She is little, wild, uneducated crea-
ture, graceful to the utmost degree,
buoyant with health and spirits, and but
little Injured to such etiquette as that
which reighs at the Tuilleties. am
told that shortly after her arrival she
was invited to join the party at a GER
tain round table, where the Queen and
her ladies sit night after night stitching
much, but uttering. little. She bore it
patiently for some time, only Express
ing her WEAKNESS by sundry and oft
repeated yawnings; but at length Quite
unable to stand it any longer, she Jump
ed UP from her chair, clapping her
hands and skipping around the room,
ended her evolutions by seating herself
on the floor and singing Brazilian songs
The Queen was Mortified at such a
breach of decorum, and the King LAUGHED
heartily at the childish freak of the lit
tie Princess. She is most lovely young
creature, and a true, unsophisticated
child of nature. Every thing here is
new 10 her, and whenever she is unu-
suaEly struck by what she beholds, she
exclaims aloud, "Ah, if my brother and
sister could but see this tool" and bursts
into tears at the recollection of her ear
ly home and distant friends. She will
doubtless soon get accustomed to the Sc
paration, surrounded and cherished rs
she is by her new and distinguished
relotives, and united to gallant Prince,
whose qualities of mind are by no means
inferior to his personal advantages.
