Convention TO amend the State Con-
siituiion.--The bill to take the sense Of
the people on that question was passed on
Saturday by large vote. Il numbered
among lie advocates gentleman from every
section Of the State, and we presume there
is no doubt but that it will pass the Sen
ale and become the law of the land.
The bill is made up Of Mr.. StovalPs
substitute, fixing the combined basis OF
taxation, and representation, as published
by us few days since. Many Western
members voted for it. The vote was IS
to 40.
We have already stated in brief terms
OCT wish for material changes in the e1-
iSUng Constitution. We have much to
say IN tho subject and shall proceed 10 do
so, as soon as w. udn command the space.
We believe that large majority Of the
people of the Stale of all parties desire an
extension Of the right of sutfra5e--ihe
election of Governor and many other Of
icers by the people, a reorganization OF
the Senate, an oyerhauling of the JudicIa'

NKw TELEGRAPH DIscovERr.-W. 8. Thomss
Of Norwich, N. Y has taken out patent for
what he calls the Elsctro-thermiC Telegraph
The Tribune says
This instrument is said to possess all the ad-
Iantages Of Morse and Bsin',, and in some re-
.pect, is far superior. Mr.. Thomas does not use
the magnet, which is the bssis Of Morse's Esc-
trio Magnetic Telegraphs, or decompose a salt
like Morse and Bain's Electric Chemical Tsle-
graphs, but works on an entire new principle,
never before spilled to telegraphins, and is
placed beyond all litigation. The principle OF
this invention is caloric, generated and controlled
by the galvanic battery, and with the new ma,
nipuator the operator i, enabled it is asserted, tc
transact twice the amount of business In The
same time as any telegraph now in use.

BALTIMORE, Friday, May 10.
The Report OF the Compromise Committee in the
United States Senate does not give entire satisac-
ton to the friends Of Progress and the opponents Of
Slavery. The Committee have yielded too much
TO the Slavery extensionsts and show too great
willingness to give the South large portion oh
demands. The ultra disunionists Of the Slave
States are not, however, satisfied with even this
and have avowed their opposition to the Compro-
mise Report unless they obtain still more. Assn
rance could not certainly go further. The south
sees Through her Representatlyes) that much has
been yielded and they hope by continued camor
about disunon' 10 obtain still larger concessions.
VIII the North quietly succumb to Foote, Butler,
Clemens < Co., or will her Representatives take
a stand on the side Of liberty Time alone can
tell bat it is feared that there are too many who
are willing to go to the South in this contest.
The question Of Reform in Maryland has been
decided in favor of Convention by large ma
jority. but by very small proportion Of the whole
number Of legal votes in the State. do not think
that onehalf Of the voters attended the polls
great was the apathy. Theopponents of the mea.
sure quietly remained at home and let the ques-
ton go by default, for II is known that most res
pectebe opposition could have been made The
Loco FocOs have outwitted the Wings however in
this, and will have the Convention to reform the
Constitution. Ii the Wings are not little more
alive we shall have the State Gerrymandered and
a Constitution drafted that will aid the Locos i'm
mensely in controlling our State Government. No
Wing paper in the city has had the independence
to express an opinion about the matter while the
Loco organs have done all that was possible to in
huence the to do their bidding. 1t is to be
hoped the Wings will wake up after their political
opponents have got control Of all they desire.
1t seems generally conceded that r. Louis Lowe,
Esq of Frederick, will be the Loco Candidate for
Governor, and the general impression is that the
Wings will bring out the Hon. j. p. Roman of
Washington County as their candidate. Mr.. Ro-
man was Member of the last Congress, and
will make a most popular and efficient Governor if
elected
