CONSTITUTIONAL Convention.

The State Journal Of Tuesday contains article
on this subject in which objection is made to the
Senatorial basis, under the existing npportionment
law, upon which it has been proposed to fix the re-
presentation in the Convention for the revision of the
Constitution.
The Journal parndes formidable list of 6guresr
bu; only few arguments We know not how accu-
rate the figures of the Journal may be, but we are
well assured of thing. and that is, that
apportonment could possibly be made, which would
be free from the same objections to inequality.
The very influences aud necessities which made the
existing npportionment unequal in some instances.
will continue to prevail. No would agree, for
instance, to cut up the countless to create dis
rricts ,citaout regard to county boundaries. And
willie tie small counties ouinumber the large ones,
we mus; expect that by combination of their repre-
sentatives they will gain advantage in any ap-
portionment This is perfectly natural. and cannot
be avoided. Or, if to be avoided at all, it be
ly in one way. and that Is way which the State
Journal and IFS friends will not be apt to agree to.
We mean, to elect the whole number of delegates by
general ticket In that wey only can the votes Of the
whole Of the population have perfectly equal
weight and bearing. This would give us a Conven-
ton of all Democrats, all Whigs,-and ina
CINE our neiqhbor would consider such a result a
greater evil than the of unequal representation
which he deprecaies.
No great complaint has heretofore been made
against the present apportionment. as the General
Assembly is affected. That law was made by the
votes Of both parties, aud IL any thing. the adyan-
tage the side Of the Wings and not on that oil
the Democrats II is impossible to arrive at any per-
feet system, especially while population is
tinuoly fuctuating and increasing. The legislature
may devote months time 10 the subject. and we
yery much doubt IT, after all, they could much if any
improve the proposition Of the Senate Committee.
To district the State anew, for the election of dele
gates alone, while the old law remains for Senator.
and Representatives. might create fatal confusion
tie day Of election especially if the Delegates. Sen
atos and Representatives should oil Lc voted for or
the same day. This last consideration is enough Il
settle the question.

Maj. Miller, during his sojourn here. was highly
respected aad esteemed, and Mrs. Miller had the kind
and sympathy of the citizens to great extent,
especially after her husband ordered upon distant
service. She of a gentle aud modest bearing,
and well calculated TO win friends among strangers.
Suicide would be painful enough to her family, but
the other result would be worse than a thousa nd
deaths. We cannot but hope that the worst has hot
happened. few days may determine; and we sim
cerely that the hearts of other families may not
have to bear the most poignant suffering.

The Boston Murder.

The public sentiment which first ragged so utterly
against Prof. Webster has taken new turn, in con-
sequence Of statements in his favor. Great allowance
should be made for exsggerations for the penny
papers interested in keeping up the excitement.
We wind up extracts for the present, with the
following from The Boston Transcript
We learn that the facts quoted yesterday from the Mail
in regard the found Dr. Webs,ers house
not fully stated One for $500 dated ls42 was past
due. cancelled and flied away. Il had endorsement
and had to oil appearance been taken up by
newsl.
With regard to the second due in 1851 which was
for S245l and endorsed believed To have been secured
by mortgage DR. Webstcr's mnerslogica cabinet
which cabinet sold within year for $1,000
sociation of gentlemen, who presented il Harvard Col
ege. The fair presumption and belief is, that the
was prepaid, the sac Of the cabinet.
Thus far the public suspicion appears have in
direction but by the following from the Cambridge Chron
icIe, will be that something may be said the
other side:
There are many circumstances which if properly con-
sidered tend much relieve the terrible position of Pro-
fessor Webster Not only has positive evidence been
brought show the agency of Prof W. in the deah of
Dr. p but many of the strong facts already proved
have foundation. The spots Of blood said have been
discovered upon the floor and stairs is found be only
tobacco JUICE The pants, with Prof WIS upon
them and stained with blood, those which he in
his laboratory stained with acids The tin box ordered
Waermans feet long, dwindes to Is inches long,
s wide and 10 inches Deep and of such description
another individual states he has often made for him. AS
the of the receipt which has been much in
sisted upon, who heard Of a receipt being given

That any gentleman should have known him to he ct
the Medical College late Friday night when he is known
have home early and been engaged in spending
social evening with Judge Fay aud other friends
the least remarkable And is less remarkable that the
aBor of the college, any other individual should have
observed such unusual appearances about his
have excited their suspicious, only when he thus
absent, but after the disappearance of Dr. p and
only divulge those suspicious late hour. How
great importance be attached the pretended secresy
of Prof. WIS apartments, may be inferred from The fact
that the dsy of the anor take of the entire
building and Of had ready to each room

sured that he examined the locks particularly, and pre-
sumed from their construction there could be difficulty
in finding multitude of keys to fit them.

TIE TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND

Except quors) exported from the United States to the

Provision is made, it is said, for the encouragement

we doubt not ere long it WILL the Importance of the
Sandwich Islands, an intermediate stopping place,
in such event hardly be over estimated. 1t
seems that Anthony J. Ten Eyck. our late Commits
soner to the Sandwich Islands, did not resign, but
dismissed by His Hawaiian Majesty for reasons
which not distinctly stated as yet.
