THE CONsTITUTION,
q neW Daily Paper to be published in Wash-

"a HeU OUtty TdpeT 10 nc PuDuMSd w " dM-
ingtOn City, ID. &.
TUNHE UNDERSIG NED will shortly publish at the
i seat Of the National Government daily
paper, as the organ OF the great USios PARTy Of
the United States
The elements Of national revolution evolved
from the passions of mankind, always tend to fatal
terminatons; but il is the prerogative OF an en-
lightened public will to control them, and make
them subservient to wise and patriotic issues. Such
elements are now fearfully at work in the United
States, tending avowedly to q revolution which
every patriot would depore as the greatest calam-
ity that could possibly befal this country. The ef
forts of the UNioN Party alone can avert that ca
lamity--the united efforts of those who, nobly re-
hnquishing personal and old party considerations,
arc determined to stand shoulder to shoulder for
Liberty and the Union, nolr and Jorsrer, one and
insepdruble"
The fires of American patriotism require to be
rekindled in the hearts Of too many Of our coun-
trymen.' Evil influences from abroad have found
their way amongst them, and smothered the
flames which ought never to subside in American
bOsons In one section Of the country an ignis-
fatuus has been held up light to a better pros
perty; in another, the moral sentiment has been
stimulated to mononania, with the design of ef-
1ecting collision between the North and the South
and n dissolution of the American Union. Even
now, the missionaries of ruin, scentng blood from
afar arc lowering, like vultures, in the hope of
conflict.
Its high time, therefore, for patriotic Americana
for men of both the old partes-to throw aside their
old trammels and divisions, and TO unite in one
is high time that they should wake from their false
security, and look their real danger in the face;
reassert their true American character, and resolve
with energy never to be relaxed that no foreign
or domestic foe shall stay the course of their coun
try's glorious destiny.
1t will be the earnest purpose of "THE CoNsrITU
TIoN" faithfully TO represent the sentiments of the
Union party. 1t will recognise no man a Whig
a Democrat; but every friend
foe to the Union, the Constitution, and the laws;
and it will advocate those measures and only those
which the Union party will sanction.
With these principles and motives, "THE CoNsTI-
TUITION" will take the field, 'thrice armed" in the
cause of our common country-fully confident of
SUCCESS and Of the liberal support Of enlightened
and still independent people.

For a more detailed statement Of the hsca CON
dition and affairs Of the Department, you are
spectfuliy referred TO the report Of the Auditor
hereto annexed.
The contracts for mail transportation in the
northern section, composed of the States Of Maine,
New Hampshire Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, and New York, made in the
spring Of lsi9, showed an increase OF annual com
pensstion Of S96,9Sl; being an increase Of more
Than eighteen per cent upon 'he previous cost OF
that section.
The contracts made under the lettings Of
last spring for the western section Of the Union,
embracing the Satcs OF Michigan, Indiana, lli-
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Ten
ncssee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkan-ss, Louisiana,
and Texas, and the Territories, exhibit suil
greater increase in the annual cost OF transporta-
ton in that section.
This increase is estimated In the contract office
at S236,69s per annum, being about twenty FIVE
per cent advance upon the annual cost Of that sec
ton under the contracts in force up TO the end Of
the lsst fiscal year. OF THE, about 10 and iOor-
hfths per cent is attributable 70 the increase Of
service in that section, aud about II and fifth
per cent. 10 the increased rate OF compensation
provided fOr in tho late contracts.

Having heretofore expressed, with as much frank
ness as sincerity. our surprise at the course of the
Richmond "Whig' and the Richmond " Times
and Compiler" in suffering themselves tob be beguil-
ed, by specious preences, into the support for time
Of the crafty and dangerous scheme of a Southern
Convention, it is due from us to them that we
should state, in their own language, the position
which is now occupied by two of them in relation to
that question. With this view, we make the
following extracts from those papers:
FROM TIE RICHMOND "wHrG" OF APRIL 9. #,
Our readers we'll that Southern Convention,
in any shape, has been particular avore of We
did not like the menacing air which it BORE and we were
never very sangune of beneficial results from it. As to any
influence it might upon Congress the Norih we
supposed would any thing. But we did
indulge the hope that consultation among the people OF the
South might result in combined plan for the advance
men rather resoraion of the commercial independence Of
the South. We fell, Ioo every Southern man ought to
feel indignant at the unjust and insulting demands OF the
North in claiming the whole territories acquired from Mexico
and willing and DESTROYS that the whole North should
see and know that there no diversity Of sentiment in the
South the main points in controversy We therefore
acquiesced in the Nashville Convention, modified and
scei by the resolutions Of the Legislature. We will abide
by that understanding any portion OF the people oesre
send delegates Nashville upon the terms of the fifth
resolution, will make opposition y it. But we will
stake nothing upon the fesu-and protest against the South
being peudced by its failure il should be failure From
present Indications apprehend that such will be its fate
To be successful should assemble with the united appoba
ton Ct the Southern people But the impression which,
since Mr. WEssrkR Speech has gained possession of the
public mind that the sectional controversy is in fair train to
satisfactory adjustment in Washington, has indispostd
many of the Southern people TO participation in this Con-
vention Three four Southern States have declined being
Represented there ALL And observe that several
ties in Virginia have determined on the same course.
We mention these facts to show the CT unanimty,
and as indicating the possible failure Of, the undertaking. But
repeat any body wishes to send delegates they will have
no opposition from Us; and il any delegates from
Virginia. desire that the conservative Influence of Rich
mond should be represented and felt in the Convention
FROM "rIMEs AND coariLER' or ArRIL 10.
On the subject Of the Nashville Convention shall de-
clare our own views frankly and fully. We concurred,
though without dsus, in The recommendation of the
by Legislature hoping that if Virginia invited
consultation with her sister Southern States, in order to
