THE PPEsIDNTIAL ELECTIoN-ProUi-
S10nS of the Census Ldnc-The Presi-
Dental election, which is to take place in
1852, must, as find. be under the appor-
tonment, to be made according to the
seventh census, now in progress. The
census act fixes the aggregate number of
representatives, and makes it the duty of
the Secretary Of the Interior to ascertain
the number to which each State will be
entitled. and to transmit a certificate of
the number to the House of Representa-
uves, aud likewise to the Executive Of
each State. Thus there is no action re-.
qulred from Congress on the subject for
the Constitution prescribes that each
State shall appoint the number of elect
ors equal TO the number of Representa-
tves and Senators, to which "the State
may be entitled in the Congress"
The time for holding elections for
electors OF President and Vice President
is fixed by the act of January 3, lS45,
and Congress has nothing more to do in
the matter There have been, alternate
ly, two Presidential terms and three
terms under each census. Under the
apportionment made according to the
sixth census, there can he but Two Presi-
dental terms. The next Congress is
therefore elected under one apportion-
ment, and the next President under,
another, which has been the case hereto
fore.
I suppose the States will be duly noti-
fed OF the number of Representatives
to which they may be entitled IN the
nee: Congress. early next month, and
perhaps before; and some of them which
have not elected Representatives 10 the
32d Congress, and will not till next Au-
gust, will, therefore, elect number
greater or less than that to which they
are entitled. The next will be the fifth
Congress elected under the apportion-
ment made in conformity with the sixth
census; and 1t will complete the terms Of
sixty years. or thirty Congresses elected
since the census of 1890.
Representation will be rather unequal
IN the next Congress. But the new
States will have full swing in the Presi-
dental election. One half of the a9gre-
gate number of Presidential electors
235-will be elected by the States west
OF the Alleghanies.

How beautiful is peace-at the home
hearth, in society, in the nation, and over
all the earth. Obli,erator of feuds-
washer ont of blood-s;airs, and unites of
earth's races to loving brotherhood.
Six thousand years, since Cain smote his
brother at the altar, the earth has travels
led With war, and in blood. The only
landmarks spared by the ages have been
trophies OF ferocious conquest. Ruin and
terror have swept over hills, and vallies,
and seas; and humanity, born with such
noble and glorious visage, has walked a
perturbed aud terrible spirit, in this erst
earlh-garden, aud paradise of God. Peace,
which should have been the companion
of man, and the inspirer of beauty and
Joy. have only flashed at brief and wide
intervals through the cloud aud storm of
earth's life. But it will not be ever so.
The war of humanity with itsef-its
suicidal s.rife-its estrangement from its
original nature, and from Coz. cannot
always last. Eighteen hundred years
ago, one came upon the earth, heralded
by angels. who sang Peace upon earth,
and good will unto men," And the pro-
phecy of that soLg will come TO pass.
The unnatural war among men, societies,
and nations, must cease. Slowly, but
certainly, the cloud and tempest will roll
back, unveiling the clear and serene sky.
and humanity, self bound, like Prone.
theus to the rock, will shake off the vul.
ture with tortures in the agony. Peace
will come to all the earth, for God has
sent token and given promise Of it.
Then shall the dove lily out of the human
ark, over the wide sea of Mans ruin,
plucking the olive leaf. and the bow of
promise shall be hung in the heavens,
that the water Of wars desolation shall
no more cover the earth.

TIE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAw.-The New
York Merchants Day Book. has the fol-
lowing pertinent comments, says the
Memphis Appeal, upon the spirit OF re-
sistance manfesring itself against this
law in various quarters of the North. A
contemporary SAYS, in this connexion:
1T isworthy of remark that the very men
who have been most eager in invoking
the power Of the General Government to
be used against the South, are the first to
fare up when that power is used against
themselves" But touching the article
from the Day Book: This is not the only
print by many in the city of New York,
that are beginning to see that the South
has been oppressed aud has really some
cause OF complaint against the North,
some grievances to redress, and which
should be redressed-and i'm this their
tone, much to their credit, differs materi-
ally from that Of many Southernors
That this should FIRST manifest itself there
is nothing more than natural, as the in-
tcrests Of that city are much more deeply
involved in the commercial non-inler-
course threatened by the South, than
those Of any other city of the North
Let the spirit of resistance continue to be
kept mp by the South, and the example
of New York will soon be followed by
others. There is no argument so con-
elusive as that Of the "aImtghty dollar"
TIE Day Book says:
1--WE see also that quite large portion
of our good northern christians do not
.:are the snap OF their finger for the laws
of their country but like w. Ii. Seward,
set them at naught because they in their
superior wisdom have come the sage con-
"lusion that they are not in conformity
with that 'high law to which they pro
fess TO owe greater allegiance than to the
States. 1t any Of these lovers of a
higher power should take it into their
heads that the Day Book belonged to
them and that the higher power intend.
ed it for them we suppose they would
consider themselves bound to come aud
take it, Some of them, we know, do
think that certain portion of land be-
longs to them by divine right, and GER
ia in other portions think that their neigh
bor's poultry and vegetables belong to
them, and they take IL, while certain
other portions consider that anything they
eau lay their hands upon is theirs. 1t is
pity that all these people cannot be put
into one great Fourrierite pen and made
to live and work together for their mutual
benefit Lawloving and law-keeping
people would then have some peace III
the world.
From the muss and excitement we see
created here by the arrest of Hamlet, one
would suppose that half the negroes in
the city were fugi'ives. Who would
have supposed that our agreement to sur
render runaway slaves had heretofore
been so badly kept? Who thought thar
every third negro he met in the street was
a runaway, who actually and truly owes
a debt to {, maE or woman who had ted
and clothed them from their infancy,
which they had not only refused to pay,
but were ready to murder the officer who
should attempt 10 make them pay II.
Surely this is a great country.

Sweet evening, the balm Of thy breczes is o'ef,
And bleak is the blast on mountain and moor;
There's shadow and gloom in the depths of the dell,
And the trees of the forest are moaning farewell.
Old winter is coming, once more to rejoice
In his robngs of snotH and his traPPings Of ice;
The dreariest of desPots, who bends TO h's sway,
Sweet sister Of summer, the Neautiful day.
Dear evening, with thee, no more On the green,
In ioyance Of sport are the villagers seen;
And the music of childhood, in gambcls no more,
Is borne on the breeze from the cottager's door.
All silent aud chill, not bird on the bough
Is heard forth O warbe his v-sPe: hyma now;
Not a cav from the rook, as he wingeth his flight,
Der me ads where areUteeping the shadows OF night
Old winter is coming, old winter, SO drear,
His heraIds, unweIcome. proclaim he is near;
There's wall on the blast there voices that say
