APPOINTMENT OF HANNEGAN

We had thought that the Locofocos of the Leg
islature, were mean enough, and constituted the
most ultra and time-serving specimens of that par
ty, but it would appear that Locofocoism in Wash
ington, is not far behind Locofocoism in Ohio
The appointment of Mr. Hannegan, by ex-Presi-
dent Polk, at O'Clock on Sunday morning, after
his own official term had expired, and it's being
confirmed by an unconstitutional Senate, is an as
sumption of power, which we had thought no par
ty, however corrupt, would dare take. But it was
an act worthy its instigators and shows the base
ness and corruption of the late Administration.
One of our exchanges truly remarks:
"Hannegan, like Cass is the creature of party
and official patronage, and has never been honored
with the confidence of the people. By accident he
reached the U. S. senate, and by the united voice
of the people of Indiana, he has been discarded
from a reelection. So thorough and mutual is
the disgust between him and the citizens of his
own State, that las it is published in Locofoco pa
pers of Indana,) Mr.. Hennegan has determined to
take up his residence in Mississippi or Louisiana
As soon, therefore, he has returnd from his Eu-
ropean visit, flor he will no doubt be quickly su-
perseded0 with his $4,000 outfit, and as much
more for salary, &c, he will probably purchase a
plantation on the banks of the Mississippi and be-
come himself practical example of the beauties
of the peculiar institution, having served in both
capacities of slave and master.

A. WING of virginia.

Ar. G. J. Faulkner, who is running an inde-
pendent Wing candidate for Congress in the Xth
district Of Virginia. is opposed by Richard Parker
as the regular Locofoeo nominee, and Col Ham
tramck Independent In 1882 in the Virginia
House of Delegates Mr.. Faulkner thus expressed
his views on slavery. Huron Reflector.
Slavery. it is admitted is an evil; it is an insti-
tuition which presses heavily against the best inter-
est of the state. 1t banishes free white labor; it
exterminates the mechanic, the artisan, the manu-
acturer: it depriyes them of occupation it deprives
then Of bread it converts the energy of commu-
nifty into Incidence, its power into mbecty, its eff
iciepey into weakness. Sir, being thus injurious,
have we not right to demand its determination
Shall society suffer that the shareholder may
tinue to gather his crop Of human ytaeshe What
is his mere peeuniary claim, compared with the
great interest of the common veal? Must the
country anguish, droop. die that the STAKEHOLDER
may flourish? Shall all interests be- subservient
TO one-=a rights subordinate to those of the slave
holder? Has not the mechanic have not the mid
die classes their rights-rights incompatible with
the existences of slavery?''

Constitution or no Constitution.

Under this head the last Democrat has quite a
abored article, in which it attempts to manufacture
political capital out of the fact that some of the
Wings voted against the measure of submitting to
the people the question of new constitution, and
carries the idea that the Wing party are opposed
to the measure and are afraid to have it come be-
fore the people
How the Democrat arrives at the conclusion that
this question s fairly before the people of Ohio" "
Ia convention" we at loss to surmise. The
question of revising State constitution has nev-
er been seriously agitated out of the Legislature,
and only there by few persons. who desired to
distinguish themselves under the false pretence of
contending for the peoples rights, and at the ex-
pense of the State; and the people, in any consider
able numbers, have never petitioned to the Legis-
ature or instructed their Representatives to vote
for law of that kind, so that the subject could not
have been "fairly before" them
That our Constitution is deficient in many par
ticulars, sprobably the case but was it as perfect
and just as it could be made it would be no barrier
to the infringements and violations of its articles,
by such men as have disgraced the dominant par
ty in our Legislature during the past winter; and
as it is claimed that the present constitution has
been grossly violated, it should not be amended or
altered until the guilty party shall have been brot
tojustice The Wings charge these infringements
of the constitution on the Democratic members
seats, was violation both of the constitution and
the apportionment law, and in direct opposition to
the expressed will of the people.
When these questions are properly settled, and
we have shown capacity and willingness to pro-
tect that sacred instrument from the polluted touch
of such miscreants as we have named, then it will
be time to take into consideration the propriety of
revising the constitution. Then ifit be found that
the exgencies of the times, and the accumulated
wants of our citizens, need its revision, none will be
found more willing and ready, than are the Wing
party, to support such measure. The Wings in
the House, few days since, voted nearly unani-
mously for a bill making the Office of State At
torney elective by the people, the only State off
Ger in their power to make So we believe, which
shows disposition, on their part to place power
in the hands of the people, where it rghtfully be-
longs.
Gov Bebb, on his retiring from Office, recon-
mended the calling convention to revise the con-
stitution, and also if we mistake not of making all
State and county officers elective by the people,
which shows that this is sound Wing doctrine, and
instead of their being opposed to the measure they
are actually in favor of tits instgators and advo-
cates-but do not feel disposed to hurry matters
under the present circumstances. The Democrat
has only been stealing Wing thunder

NIr. FilImore,s Address.

SENATORS Never having been honored with a
seat this oor and having acted as the pre-
siding officer of any legislative body, you will not
doubt my sincerity when assure you that assume
the responsible duties of this chair with conscious
want of experience and just appreciation that
shall often need your friendly suggestions and more
often your indulgent forbearance
l should, indeed, feel oppressed and dshearten-
ed did not recollect that the Senate is composed
of eminent statesmen, equally distinguished for
their high intellectual endowments and their amen
ity of manners whose persuasive eloquence is so
happily tempered with habitual courtesy as to re-
lieve your presiding officer from all that would be
painful in the discharge of his duty and render his
position as agreeable as it must be instructive.
Thus encouraged and sustained, enter upon the
duties assigned me, firmly resolved to discharge
them with impartiality and to the best of my abi-
itY. But should do injustice to the grateful emo
tons of my own heart, if did not this occasion
express my warmest thanks for the distinguished
honor that has been conferred upon me in being
called by the voice of the nation to preside over
your deliberations.
1t will not, trust, be deemed inappropriate to
congratulate you upon the scene now passing before
US. l alude to it in no partizan aspect, but as an
ever recurring event contemplated by the Const-
tuition. Compare the peaceful changes of Chief
Magistrates of this Republic with the recent san
culinary revolutions in Europe
There the voice of the people has only been heard
amid the din of arms and the horrors of domestic
conflicts but here in our own favored land, under
the guidance of Constitution, the resistess will
of the nation has from time to time been peaceful
ly expressed by the free will of the people, and all
have bowed in obedient submission to their decree.
The administration which but yesterday welded
the destines of this great nation to-day quietly yields
up its power, and without murmur, retires from
the capitol
l congratulate you, Senators, and congratulate
my country upon these oft-recurring and cheering
evidences of our capacity for self-government Let
US hope that the sublime spectacle we now witness
NAV be repeated often the people shall desire
change of rulers and that this venerated Consti-
tuition and this glorious Union may endure forever.
