tce, and against any compromise short of

OREGON-WAR.

The National Intell;gencer Of the 3rd

Oregon Debate as follows
"Of The ultimate fate Of the propositions rela.
tive 10 the Oregon question now pending 10 either
House Of Congress, variant and discordant opin.
ions are we observe, expressed in the newspa.
pers published out Of this city, both edtorially
and by their Washington correspondents. 1t is
not possible certainly 10 predict what will be the
specific action Of Congress upon it. But, what
ever may be the final action Of the House Of
Representatives in the case, we now feel entire
confidence that the Senate will give its sanction
10 no measure in relation 10 Oregon which would
stand in the way Of peaceful and honorable
adjustment Of the difference existing between the
Governments Of this country and Great Britain
on this subject"

REVIEW or rH. NEW CONSTITUTION.


Mesus. Benson d. Greens--My second
number ended on Article Sth-of Banks. &C.
The next Objectionable Article is the 10Th
the mode Of amending the Constitution. do
not know If the proposed constitution should be
adopted by the people, and being so Objectionable
as il is, that ought to complain Of it being so
easily altered still, IL we should be able to get
it any thing near right the Legislature will every
four years be working at il until they get it per.
haps as bad as it is now. The fundamental law
Of the land should not be changed by the whims
and csprices OF majority Of factous Legisa
ture: the people are a much better source for
honesty and talent, when their "sober second
thought" returns;-for be assured, in four, eight
or twelve years from this time, perhaps MAORI
y Of the then voters may never have seen the
constitution; yet il they should not then vote for
the proposed amendment. they are counted
against it, showing that they disrust the sovereign
people. A few years back when the plain ques.
zion OF Bank or No Bank" was taken, not
more than onethird Of the people voted at all on
the subject. Again-l believe almost every per.
son thought that one hundred members was
enough in the lower branch Of the legislature.
yet If the constitution is adopted, the number the
first session will be ZIG. and may be increased
to 140 or 150-for as before observed. no coun.
ty can be attached 90 matter how small the pop.
ulation may be unless it adjoins county that has
less than two thirds the ratio.
Now, under all the circumstances, what is best
to be done? Shall we fall back on The old Con.
stiu,ion, or shall we have revolution? o.
shall we be compelled to adopt Constitution
that l believe nine.tenlhs Of the people are op'
posed to. have not yet determined what is 10
be done; bu: this have determined on-that
never will again vote for any man, for any Office.
If know it, who voted in the Convention for the
adoption Of the proposed constitution. For, in
stead Of being the servants Of the people, they
have attempted to make themselves their masters
have defeated the objec, for which the Conven.
ton was called, and have engrafted features and
provisions in the Constitution uncaled for, un
expected, and not thought Of by large majority
OF the people. Under these circumstances
would keep power out Of the hands of such men,
and at the same time would vote for another con
vention tomorrow; for, in fixing the fundamen.
tai law Of the land, we should not count dollars
and cents
l have now given my greatest objections to the
Revised Constitution. though hastily. may re.
cur to the subject hereafter. SANCO.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION,

MEssRs. Benson & GREra-There is an
aspect to be taken OF this instrument that, thus
far. has been generally passed over in silence;
it is important. however. and deserves some
attention.
The "act 10 provide for the call Of Conven.
ton, approved Feb. 9th. ls43." contains this
provision: "Any person eligible to a seat in the
House Of Representatives OF this State, shall be
eligible to seat in the Convention" And the
Constitution enacts CART. III, Sec IL, } that mo
Judge Of any Court Of law or equity n n
shall be eligible to either House OF the General
Assembly" Section g. Of the Convention Act,
farther enacts, that "the Convention shall Judge
Of its own privileges and elections"
Upon these premises, then, it is as clear as
MONDAY that ian act to provide for the call OF
a Convention" was not carried out-that its
provisions ,Dere not complied Nth, and that,
consequently. the Convention, being illegally
organized, all acts emanang from such body
are prima Jocie extra. conventional in their ma.
ture and operation, and, Of course, disobligatory
upon the citizens Of this State.
1t is mere lutility to say that the late Conven
lion was prime meeting of the people-an
organic meeting Of the citizens Of the State for
the forming OF Constitutions radical mope.
ment Of people in State Of anarchy to model
their form Of government; in which state Of
things, as matter OF course. law and order
would be the poice of the populacs. Far from it.
The law authorizing Convention was submitted
to the citizens Of Missouri for their approval or
rejection. They met upon TIE day pointed out
in the act Of their Legislalure-upon the day
selected by those that had been elected by them
for doing their business as Legislators. and said,
by their votes, that they-lhe people OF the
Sts,e-approved Of the "act" their servants had
passed for the call Of Convention-approved Of
its provisions and would be governed by it and
them in their elections throughout the State.
Now this act has not been complied with.
Judges OF courts have been elected and permitted
10 take their seats as members OF the Convention
in defiance OF the voices and votes OF The people
Of The State. and. by their votes and influence 8
constitution has been formed al utter variance
with the first principles Of the law and contra
diciory 10 the elements upon which it was
enacted
1t is equally futile to say that the Convention
when assembled, decided that the members pres.
ent had been constitulonaly elected-for mark
tive had constitution then and still have one,
and that constitution is law. until another is
accepted by "a majority Of all the votes" lin
the words Of Sec. l5) 10 be given on the LIST
Monday in August next.
Now, If the people Of the State Of Missouri
are just TO themselves--if they are resolved 10
uphold their present constitution. until another
is substituted by them according to law. what
will they say next August Will they not. If
they inend to cing,o constitutional law, say by
their votes 1.-The act for the call OF a convention

THE SAINTS ARE LEAVING.

During the last week as we learn from
various authentic sources, the saints nave
been crossing the river in a perfect army.
About 700 Of them were encamped on
Sugar Creek, Iowa, miles from the river
on Sunday last and they were still crossing
at our latest advices. ....
We scarcely know what to make Of this
movement. II was expected that but
small party would start al this time; but
from all the information we now have, it
appears that company of from one to two
thousand will leave at the present time.
How they expect TO subsist we cannot I'M
derstand, unless they steal their living, until
they reach the extreme frontier, by which
time grass may be up.
The Holy, Twelve are said to be in this
advance party, as are also all against whom
there are any writs. II appears that the
company is not confined to young men, as
was stated it would be, in the Late Circu.
lar, but number Of families are also in the
crowd.
We regret that so large an expedition
has started at this time; for at this unpro-
ptious season of the year, it can hardly
prove any thing else than failure, and II
it should, it will have tendency to deter
other expeditions from starting IN the spring.
We do not believe that it was the design
of the Twelve that so many should leave;
but so soon as they were gone, there being
none TO restrain them, all who were anxious
to emigrate formed the resolution immedi-
ately, to 60 at all hazards. This is proved
by the fact. that many are now going who
have mo wagons ready. To supply this def.
cheney, we learn that those who were NOT
prepared with wagons are taking the wag-
ons Of those who are prepared, BY force,
and justify themselves by saying that they
leave plenty of property behind, out Of
which the persons they thus rob may remu.
nerate themselves. This fact we learn from
an authentic source, and it may be relied
on. Much dissatisfaction has been created
in consequence of this wholesale robbery.
and if it is not soon stopped will create an
explosion.-Warsaw Signal, llth inst.
