OcTSome hypocritical puppy, under the signature

ries to Mr.. West the editor of the Common School
Advocate, relative to late article in relation to

writer worthy of notice he will doubt reply to
him. As to the question addressed to us, to wit:
"Will the Sentinel tell us how long it will take
for hYpOcrites," to say nothing about sefright-
eous pharisees to correct the morals of society by
profaning the Sabbath by lodging into groceries aud

Not longer, we suppose than it would take to make
an honest man out of such hypocrites the writer
probably is,-or out of the concocters of fraudulent
laws by which the poor may be swinded out of their
lands, or out Of men who build or rent bawdy
houses. and then pretend to feel holy horror that

CE-In abiding to a debate which occurred in the
Senate, Friday, a resolution proposing to go
into the election Of State Printer Saturday last,
stated that " Mr. 0rth advocated the resolution,
and charged that Mr.. Davis had said few days ago
that the Butler bill should not pass until after the
election of State Printer;' and that Mr.. Orth
thought the sudden change in Mr.. Davis's course
squned much more strongly towards corruption than
any thing else which had been elected during the
discussion.
This is the understanding which not only we, but
several others with whom we conversed, had Of the
matter. But on Saturday, Mr. Davis brought up the
matter in the Senate and, according to the explana
tions which passed between him and Mr.. Ortiz, il
would appear that we were mistaken in far to
have inferred any charge of corruption" in con-
sequence of the declaration Of Mr. Davis alluded to.
The whole matter resolved into Pickwickian
affair, saying good deal, but meaning nothing
Of take it all back, far the inference
of corruption is concerned. But in so doing, we do
not I'm the correctness of the report given by the
State Journal of the affair. That report is a gross
and wilful perversion of the facts of the case.

CONSTITUTIONAL Reform.

We sec it stated, that the patronage left to the
Governor of the great State Of New York is the ap-
pointment of an Adjutant General, also private
Secretary and doorkeeper, and no more. All the rest
the new constitution hands over to the people"
The new constitution of New York was adopted by
an overwhelming majority, at election, at which
wing Governor was elected by majority of 10000
and a democratic Lieut. Governor by majority Of
$4,000; an Indication that the body of the people Of
that great State, regardless of party distinctions,
have determined to assume to themselves the exercise
of those rights, which properly belong to them for
exercise under our form of government
We in Indiana have abundant reason to deprecate
the fact Of these rights being held for exercise, by
others than the great of the people. This winter,
we have democratic Governor inaugurated, who
was placed in power by majority of 600 votes,
while accidental wing majority in the Legislature,
have filed the Offices Of Treasurer and Auditor Of
State and Circuit Judge with men of opposite polit
cal principles from those entertained by majority of
our people. What becomes OF the popular will under
such state of things! II appears hardly to enter
into the thoughts of those, who use power but to
abuse it. The same would perhaps have occurred,
had the reverse been the case All we desire to
force is the great principle, that for the purpose Of
giving force to the will of the people, they should
ercise the sole power of selecting their public agents
ask them if they not just; and if it Is not high
time that they, the soveregns of this great State,
should speak out on this question
