THE f{ODE IS.

The trial of these two young men
for the murder of Miller and Liese,
commenced on Tuesday last. A jury
was empanneled on Monday and the
trial is now progressing slowly. Out
of about fifty witnesses but six were
examined up to Tuesday evening. But
these were so important tina! more time
was probably taken up with them than
will be with others. The Methodist
Church is occupied as the Court room,
and that building has been crowded du.
ring the progress Of the trial. The
u,mos. decorum prevails. There is
but little percelvable excitement, and
there is every disposition to give the
prisoners fair trial. The trial will
hardly close before the end of the week.
We shall endeavor ,g lay the trial be.
fore our readers. but fearing it might
Influence the jury or Illustrate the ends
Of justice, we have not thought il adj.
visable to publish any of the testimony
until after the verdict.

THE contribution.


The Legislature before their adjourn
men, on Tuesday last, succeeded, as
we stated last week, in passing law
10 secure another vote on lhe Conslilu-
ton the people rejected in April last
They could no. have done this had 1t
not been for The sickness of Mr. Shella
dy, who was so low when 'he vote
was taken tina: his life was despared OF.
The majority took advantage OF ms
and passed The law over The Governor
Veto. This action exhibited their COW
ardice. They had had possession OF the
bill for long time, as j, came from 'ae
Council, but they did not dare to push
i, until they ascerlained the situation OF
Mr. Shellady. As soon as that matter
was settled, and they fel, assured thai
wi,hou, his vote they could pass 1t not
withstanding the Governors Veto. they
wen, to work and accomplished their
design.
We have assumed the position iliat
this Legislature had no right to make
i, obligatory on the people to take an
other vote on an instrument which they
had condemned. without instruction
from the people. They had no right,
because in the adoption Of Consil!u-
ton revolution-a pacific revolution
is involved, the direction of which rests
with the people and the people alone.
Legislators have no right to NEEDLE with
the mater only so far as ,hey receive
instructions from the people. They
have notareceived any instructions on
the subject, although there was abun.
dan. opportunity to give them if the
people had been disposed, a:id therefore
they have in their action usurped pow
ers which did not belong to them
We have neither time or space to
state the points we wish TO bring up
and illustrate on this subject at the pre-
cuss no, only the question of right on
the part Of the Legislature. but we shall
also endeavor to prove i'll succeeding
numbers the utter inexpediency OF such
movement, and poin, out some of the
defects in the Constitution itself.
The absurdily Of calling upon the
people TO vote on all instrument thar has
been condemned BY them by an over
whelming majority, wi,hou, any change
in the instrument or in the clrcumsian-
ces, is so palpable, as TO make ii appear
like mere child's play. All the objec.
tons that were brought against it and
that Influenced the people 4, the first
vote will be in existence al the second
and we hope The people will not be sc
unmindlul of their rights or their true
dignity as to coincide in this I'M heard
of movemen, made by few bockhea(
legislators who are backed by few
aspiran,s for Office. We know tina
great efforts will be made to secure
majority for this condemned Cons'in
ton in Angus, next Blu. we believe
the selishness of the movement will b,
detected and the people will again ute
their condemnation against il at tha
time.

"MPORTANT If TRUE"

This is the manner in which the "New
York Tribune introduces the following
paragraph from the philadelphia Ga
zette'
Gentlemen from Washington state,
with confidence, that Hon, James Blu
chanan has resigned the Secretaryship of
State, and that the President has selected
Andrew Stevenson of Virginia to fill the
place. Differences OF opinion as to the
Oregon negotiation have induced this
step on the part of Mr. Buchanan"
1t is astonishing how any "gentlcman"
can state with confidence" a report
which is so utterly destitute of any found
alton. What can be the motive for such
gratuitous fabrication? What other
purpose can it answer, than first to scat
ter, for few days, a report that is calcu-
lated to agitato the public mind, and to
cast an air of instability over the admin
istration; and then, when the report is
exposed, to shake the confidence of the
public in every rumor that emanates from
Washington? No such report as the a.
bove has ever circulated in this city Of
rumors. There is not a shadow of truth
in it. Mr. Buchanan has not resigned,
nor has he talked or thought of resi- en-
in, nor his any member of the Cabinet
The reason assigned, too for his rcsigna-
ton, is as fabulous as the report ITSELF
There is no difference of opinion in the
Cabinet on the Oregon question. There
never was more harmonious Cabinet,
and there is as little variety ofopnion on
all the great questions that come before the
present Cabinet, as in any of its prede-
cessors. We are fully warranted in
making this statement in the most anthem
tic and authoritative manner.-U Union.

WORKING FOR A LIVING.

The following excellent article in the
Offering, edited by the factory girls Of
Lowell, breaths the right spirit;
"Whenco originated the idea that it
was deogatory to lady's dignity, or blot
upon female charactsr, to labor' And
who was the frs; to say snceringly, ooh,
she works for living Surely, such
ideas and expressions ought not to grow on
on republican soil! The time has been
when ladies of the first rank were accus-
toned to busy themselves in the employ
ment. Homer tells us of pri ncesess who
used to draw water from the springs, and
wash with their own hands the finest of
the innens of their respective families,
The famous Lucretia used to spin, in the
midst of her attendants; and the wife Of
Ulysses, after the siege oiTroy, employ
cd herself weaving until her husband
returned from Ithaca"

THE OLD HOBBY.

"The Tarifl!''-'lhe reduction of the
Tariff" is, as usual, just about this time
the cry of the spectators. ave cant
pay anything for your wool-the manu-
facturers wont buy-no confdence'-a-
fraid the tariffs going to be reduced
Union, Folks organ, says SOL
Ever since we knew anything about
the politics Of the state, this cry of 'the
Tariff is in danger" has been passed about
by the spectators just before the Septem-
election. Last year, every body knows,
they said Eve cant pay half what your
wool is worth, because the manufacturers
are afraid that the Tariff will be repealed"
Well, the Tariff was not repealed, and,
now, this year, in order that the over
grown manufacturers may still continue to
buy wool for nothing and sell their cloths
at just such prices as they please, whlch,in
consequence oft the enormous tax on for
egn wollens is entirely in their power, the
runners they employ must have what
DIsraeli calls in his novel of Coningsby
"new cry!' And what is it? why, "lhe
Tariff is going to be reduced" that is
the new cry. 1.-THE manufacturer can't
pay anything for wool-no confidence
does not buy because the tariff is going 10
be reduced" BY this barney great
many people are made to believe that the
reason why their wool does not command
so high price as they think it ought to,
is because these bloated manufacturers
fear that the Tariff will be reduced. That
these nabobs fear that the tariff will be re-
modelled is undoubtedly true, for when
that is done they will be placed on level
with the farmers of the state, and their
enormous profits will be shifted into the
pockets Of those who raise the WOOL
But, that the low price Of wool is owing
to the fears of the Lords Of the Loom that
any change in the Tariff is abou, to take
