Contempt for the Constitution.

Although the Constitution expressly de-
mands that /" the elective officers of the SEN
ate and Assembly shall be chief clerk and
a sergeant at arms,n the Cass wing Of the
Locos in the Assembly have proceeded to
elect an assistant clerk, an enrolling clerk
an engrosSing clerk, trahscribing clerk, a
messenger, fireman, and door-keeper,
besides chief clerk and sergeant at arms
We look next to see an net passed by the
Assembly to repeal the Constitution. The
dominant party 10 the Assembly, If they
wM violate the Constitution to reward par
tizans, ought to have the decency rather TO
Grade it than violently to trampie upon it.

A dreadful accident occurred on board

Sligo and Liverpool, by which serenity lives
were lost. The steamer bad on board three
cabin passengers and about one hundred

gale came on, and it soon blew so hard that
the decks were cleared, and the poor emf

ages, were crowded into it, and the COM

The, steamer went on her way, audit was
not pnril morning that the seamen were
aware Of the awful tragedy that had been
enacted during the aight beneath their feet.
Out of the hundred and fifty passengers
who had been driven down the companion
ladder few hours before, se,e2ty-two were
found TO have porishedl Men aa5 women
aud little children. husbands and wives, sons
and mothers, wero heaped about the lioor

CHOLERA.

Very little fear of the Asiatic cholera
seems to exist, although it is well known 10
to be making progress in the West. One
reason why 50 little apprehension exists, .
probably owing to the opinion which exten-
siyely prevails that the disease cannot make
progress in very cold weather, and certainly
tho weather is cold enough for all practical
purposes. Another reason may be, the eX-
isteuce of So much excitement about Cali
fornia for the majority of mankind think
more of gold than they do of dying. Some
think that the cholera is n rlasma, inhaled
INFO the lungs and producing the disease !;
bu, then there is no substance known to
chemistry, which when introduced into me
circulation of the blood, produces any effects
similar TO cholera. Again, it often travels
against the wind, which inorganiSed matter
could not do. \ writer it the National IN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, lo49.
In the Convention of the Southern menu
beers of Congress, Mr.. Venable, of N. c.,
read an address drawn by Mr. Calhoun and
MIR. Bayley. Speeches were made by Clay
ton, Stevens, Toombs, and others, in on
position TO the address.
Mr.. Toombs would not sanction the ad
dress as he had taken opposite grounds at
the last Congress. Another reason for op-
posing the address that it offered no definite
chart for action but left all to the risk of the
future. The address was finally recon-
mended to the committee without instruc-
tons which was rejected. The committee
is to report next Monday. Several MEM
bers got excused from further serving among
them, Messrs. Stevens, Clayton, Rusk,
Chapman and Morehead.

The Philadelphia North American of the
10th says, that after reading the report, Mr..
Foote tried to get it out of the hands of the
meeting and give it a personal character,
maSing its signers only responsible.
This motion was ruled out of the order.
The Convention sat until one O'Clock,
and the address was re-committed by ma
iority of two, aud the belief is expressed,
that the better portion of the House will
decline further connection.
