The Constitution coners absolutely on the Gov

Is We do not think this Opinion meets the
case of Annexation. That our Government may
define or even extend its boundaries by Treaty,
is one thing that it may form Federal Union
with Foreign States is another thing. NJ. JEFF
iersons objection against his own interests and
wishes strikes US as very lorciblc. Suppose the
President in his wisdom should sec fit 10 form q
Federal Union, or negotiate Treaty of Annex
alton, with Great Britain, or with lroland-would
the simple Ratification Of the Senate render it
the law OF the land {? Wc think not.-Ed. Tri5.

JOHN NJ. NILEs-If Mr. Niles were not over
awed by Gideon Welcs and his profiga;e poiiti-
cal associates, there IS no question but that Re
would return TO Utica. That it is his desire TO
do 20 immediately, VIC have the best authority for
saving But Welies is ANXIOUS TO have him re-
main, though so general Is the Indignation which
his hcar;less course has excited that nc fears to
Press the matter, and has sent for Richard Niles,
the brother of the victim, to assist HIM IN The
management of the affair. He went on TO wash
ington Yesterday. The designs OF these men
will fail, nevertheless. Public opinion can never
be brought TO sanction their proceedings. we
therefore feel safe in saying that Mr.. Niles will
not take his seat and as matter OF course, the
next Legislature will proceed at once to fill the
vacancy which his lunacy has occasioned Two
United States Senators will be among the glorious
results of tie Wing victory. Hartford Jour.
