ONE TERM !" PRINCIPLE. "-The N. D.
Delta, in comment upon the resolutions
of Mr.. Bagby, proposing 10 amend the
Constitution of the United States, mas the
following sensible remarks on the one term
{" principIe":
"But, as we said, Mr.. Bagby is an " i'm
mense man." He sees muon evil in the
reeligibiIity of the President and Vice
President to office. II is non right nor pro-
per that man who has occupied the place
Just long enough TO understand its duties,
should be continued in t-he woud know

the country too weIi-and though the peo-
Pile should unanimously wish TO reflect
him, and though the safety of the republic
might deyend on his reelection, yet after
his first term, he must be ineligible, and

duce his first resolution into maxim--a
maxim which should be printed ID letters
of gold, and hung over the mantsl- piece
Of every voter: 4" When a man has tho.
roughly learned and properly discharged
his duty, the people shall no longer have

clans, who hope by that t. set ASIDE those
who have superior claims, in order tina

the highest point of all ambition, tho lem

effect, if adopted. can only be to restrlc
the popular choice, and to force upoE cili
zens men whom they would not have che
sen were no such restriction adopted
This is the sum Of the whole.
"Leave these tnings TO the public actio
lit is safest, best. If displeassd, the
will bring down the powerful, as they di
Adams and Van Buren,; or elevate tn
humble, as they did Harrison and Polk
If they DO not want man for more tina
