The Wings of Howard have very i'm
portant duty to perform this summer, and
it is time they were beginning the work.
A Representative, County Court Judges,
&c. are to be elected. Our opponents are
busy arranging candidates for these Offices,
and in their street talk, are very concilia-
tory towards the wings, which leads US to
suspect that self is at the bottom of their
movements. We say to the Wings look

~The prevailing opinion in the east
seems to be that the President will give the
notice TO Great Britain at an early day -
that negotiations will be, or are already re-
opened, and that the whole matter will be
arranged by treaty, dividing the country
upon the 49,h parallel, and giving to the
British the free navigation of the Colum-
bia for limited period. Serious appre-
tensions of war seem to have subsidized,
and the public mind comparatively at ease.
War is not apprehended, even should the
matter be not adjusted Immediately
England, to accomplish some end, may delay
final action; but we have entire faith tina,
the whole difficulty will be peaceably ad
justed at no very distant day. War has
more terrors for England than the United
States-and we cannot believe that either
country will resort to such an alternative
without being moved thereto by thu
gravest considerations.

COMPASSIONATE sub. Treasury.

Mr.. WEBSTER said he received daily so many
inquiries as 10 the probable progress Of the Sub
Treasury bill, that he desired to ask Of the Commit.
tee on Finance, and hoped the Chairman would
not find it inconsistent with his duty to answer,
when the Committee would probably repor: the
bill? and further whether they proposed any, and
what amendments to its provisions? and lastly, at
about what period they thought action would be
had upon it? Mr.. w. said he was no panic ma.
ker, and his only object was to allay panic. The
country was now eminenlly prosperous, and he
desired it to remain so.
Mr.. LEWIS, in reply, said he was unable to
answer the frs. inquiry Of the Senator. The
Committee had determined to give precedence TO
the warehouse bill, which had been made the
special order for the second Monday in May, and
had further determined to report bills for the es.
Enlistment OF branch minis at Charleston and
New York, in order that any evil effect that
might be anticipated from the establishment oil
the Sub Treasury should be averted. In view,
too, Of the heavy amount OF the public moneys on
deposte in the bank, and the state Of expansion
new existing, it had been agreed upon that the
specie clause should not go into effect, until the

Charlton and Boone each representative; here
are three representatives and a population OF
4 200 or 1869 less than the full ratio; this may
be said OF any district that can be formed; so
soon as one Of the counties gets the two.thirds
ratio, each will be entitled 10 representative.
The truth is, dstrctng is a mere farce, bush
set up to blind the friends ofequal representation;
nearly every county in the State will get repre-
sentative at The first apporonment under the
lwo.thirds rule. "Mark that prediction, note it
down in your memorandum books!" This is the
beautiful" system Of representation in "ful form
before you" as adopted by the late Convention,
and it remains to be seen whether the friends
of equal rights are to be duped by such shallow
pretences. They have battled long and hard in
this State; true, some who were foremost in the
fght-cryng equal representation or revolution
have "inglorously fed." Shall we then surren
der at discretion, or continue the fight? If my fee
BILE voice could be heard, ! would say reject this
Constitution; insist upon your righ!s--'the whole
or none, now or never"
The question Of representation is one about
which there ought to be no compromise. If we
are TO be considered as freeman at ALL it follows
that our rights and privileges should be equal.

Missouri is the last State in which enter.
prise should be stifled and in which public
improvements should be prohibited. Her
boundless agricultural capabilities and min
eral resources need roads and other means
of conveyance 10 market, and will remain
comparatively valueless without such facili.
ties. 1t is admitted that such great enter
prises as canals, locks, dams, railroads, turn
pixies and magnetic ielegraphs are beyond
the means Of individuals, and that they
must be constructed either by State author
itv, or by corporate companies, or not at all.
If the State and corporations be prohibited
from engaging in such works they will re-
main forever uDdone. Yet our new consti-
tuition does most effectually prevent the
State and corporations from engaging in
any such work. The consequence will be
that while lines Of turnpike and railroads
will be constructed on the North, East, and
South of US, all reaching out to gain good
markets, in Missouri no progress will be
made, but she will rather 60 backwards;
she will retrograde, whilst other States are
fourishing by means Of their superior facil-
tiles for getting to market. Other States
will be able to get their produce to vaIua-
BILE market and receive their returns before
the farmers of Missouri can haul their pro-
duce over rough roads to the river. When
the Missouri farmer shall arrive with his pro-
duce at market, he will find it gutted, and
will sell at loss Corporate companies
will construct lines of magnetic telegraph
through other States for the rapid transmits
sion Of news; but no company for such pur-
pose can exist in Missouri under the new
Constitution. That instrument appears to
have been framed in order TO prevent the
State from avaiing itself of the improve
ments ofthe age, and to keep it in the back
ground. Missouri by the adoption of tho
new Constitution will disable hersel f from
protecting her agricultural, commercial,
mining and manufacturing interests. and
those Interests will suffer by the rivalry of
more enterprizing States.
This is not the age nor is this the country
in which the energies of an enterprzing
people should be repressed and kept down
by iiberal Constitutional provisions The
noble rivers of Missouri should not roll on
uselcssly through all time for the want of
appropriations for their improvement, and
this is not the State that should forever be
kept in state Of nature. We hold that
the people and government of Missouri can
well be trusted with the exercise Of sound
discretion as to whether they will construct
internal improvements or not--Ne,c Era.

OF their conference is unknown; but it is known
that Amonie has only paid his passage as far as
