The gentleman from Wy,he (Mr. Lehvitch,)
raised novel and extraordinary objection to The
bill of the majority He asserts, that by the
Sd article of The Bill Of Rights the power 10 al.
Ter, reform or abolish the Government is repused
in "a majority OF The community" that the
phrase, majority Of the community" refers 10 the
majority Of lega voters as defined in the 9th Sec
ton OF the same instrument OF that community
and Eaters refer 10 the same persons; that Con-
yenlion so organized would mol represen, ma
iority Of legal vo;ers and would have no authority
10 aller or reform the Government. The con-
elusive answer 10 this argument is, the word CONF
munhv does not refer 10 roic's. It's plain and d-
ectreference is 10 people, The whole people, The
body polite. This is clear construction from
the three first articles considered together Isl.

"Governmen, is, or ough, 10 be. instituted for the
common benefit, protection, and security Of The
people, nation or community. "a
ma ority OF the eomss~aity" hath an indubilahle
right 10 alter, reform or abolish il, &c. The term
community is twice used in The third ar
,cle; frs, in direct connection with the
words people, nation, or community. When used
the second time, The words people and nation arc
dropped as being synonymous with community,
and the Term majority Of The community" used,
having direct reference Back 10 The an,ecedent
phrase, "na,ion, people or community" It's an
invariable rule OF construction, when The same
word is used in the same sentence, and same con-
neclion, it must have The same signihcation. The
word is twice usei in the same Article, same con-
necion, and indeed in the same sentence. There
is not !al! stop between them. The majority

argument, has mex the most remote connection

en- on its own vital measure. A more
absolute proclamation Of national inca
pacity could not be made, and tina
Great Britain will take advantage o
that incapacity it requires no prophet
to foresee.
We have yet to find the first instance
where she has spared an imbecllc OF
helpless power. If the government
cannot carry through this question o.
notice, it cannot command the national
force; and there is not a single fibre ol
lis administration that would not feel
the paralysis of the shock. And the
worst of it is. that if this measure is
now postponed, it is indefinitely post
poned. There is no reason to expect
any change in the state Of parties in
the Senate likely to lead to different
result.
We are well satisfied that this Ore
gon matter cannot be safely carried
through except by an administration
sustained by prudent but decisive sup.
port in each House. No nation can
deal with England, if it palters, or tri-
hes, or hesitates.
ltIsno such course that, in our judg.
ment, will secure peace. II was no
such course that secured US from war
with France in 1886. Great Britain
cannot but see that we are entitled to
ports on the Pacific. She cannot but
see that the 4eth parallel leaves her a
liberal share of the territory. She will
see all this plain enough, if our govern
ment can command support at home and
respect abroad. But she will neither
see nor hear, if she finds that the ad-
mlnistration cannot rally its own friends
in slch an emergency as this.
No one can outdo us in devotion to
peace. We despise in our souls the
braggart clustering to which, day after
day, the House of Representatives re-
echoes; we abhor the insane policy of
a Giddings. But, in our judgment, a
firm policy is the only way to prevent
war.
The result will prove who is right.
In that result lie the lives, the fortunes,
the happiness of millions, and we can
only express the devout hope that in
these high de bates neither local inter-
ests nor personal jealousy may be al
lowed to turn the scale. Let all give
the administration candid construction,
liberal support, and God save the re-
pubic.

tiary, empowered TO fix his residence
near the government, in which latter
character Mr.. Slidell had presented
himself"
We have before us letter from the
city Of Mexico, dated the 23d nl;., in
which it's asserted that the Mexican
government were disposed to withhold
the acknowledgment of Mr.. Slidell's
mission, until it was positively known
that the Senate at Washington had con-
firmed his nomination. This is very
extraordinary cause, if it be really a
fact, for the refusal of Herrera's admin.
lstration to complete a previous ar
rangement. The Vera Cruz papers
declare that the President of Mexico
has mortgaged the province Of Yucca
tan to England, on condition of the lat
ter's paying its enormous debt. This
accusation is no doubt groundless, bear
ing upon the face of it the impress of
reckless reproach against an enemy
The province Of Jalapa had joined the
dlsaffected, and some reports stated
that similar movements were about be-
ing made in OriSana and Perote.
The papers are crowded with vo-
luminous statements on both sides, and
it is difficult to express an opinion as
to the result. With people, such as
that of Mexico, where the elements of
society are always in agitation, and al
most annually in conflict, which brings
about the most extraordinary changes,
the feeling there is to predict success
to every ambitious leader, who has
drawn the sword and flung away the
scabbard.
