CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT.

When M lhelrs was illustrating in the French Chamber
of Deputies his Ideas of what constitutional monarchy
ought be- he referred to Great Britain and summed up
his exposition BY saying that England The King regned
but did not govern.
In constitutional Republic the President administers
The governing power is embodied in the constitution and
the laws, and these emanate from the People.
The Ministers Of the British crown, who act in the royal
name, have seats in Parliament Thus the Executive pow
e associated with the legislative and the whole influence
of the Administration brought to bear in favor of,he
sures constituting lis system of policy. When Ministers
are longer sustained by the House of Commons they re
sgn and others representing different policy are chosen
in their places Ia that way the general public will con-
trolls the action Of government.
Onr political system is widely different. The members
of the Presidents cabinet do not have in either House
of Congress- and if political opposition in that body should
would be no bound to resign than the President him
SELF They executive officers, having Legislative
responsibility.
The Constitution, however, does impose legislative res
possibility upon the President 1t gives TO the Chief Mag
srate the Initiative and the final action upon measures
legislation That is 10 say, makes the duty Of the Pres
den 10 recommend to the consideration of Congress such

good il further authorizes him place his upon any
bill from Congress which he may approve. The power

similar obligations Of patriotism, reflection and judgment
The President not responsible 10 Congress in either
but the Peope. If he should recommend rash and i'll
advised measures, he would the risk of forens
the public confidence though he should impose the vet
upon wholesome well considered bill.
Within the limits of these two powers-that Of recon-
mending Congress and that of vetong bills
lie the deberatve functions of the Legislative body. Fo
the proper exercise of its functions Congress responsible
not TO the President but to the People
The King Of Great Britain holding by hereditary ten
ure, the responsibility of the government TO the people il

PsoeREss OF THE CoIPRoNIsE.-The compro-
mise scheme reported by MIR. CLAY from the COM
mi,tee of thirteen, was discussed in the Senate last
week, during parts Of three days. On Wednesday,
Mr.. DOUGLASS moved TO lay the bill on the table,
for the purpose of proceeding to the consideration of
the bill to admit California separately. The vote
stood 24 to %, and is conclusive on one point that
the majority Of Senators in favor of general set
dement, at one tme Of all the questions IN contro
yersy. Two Southern Senator'S only, voted for the
proposi,ion-Mr Benton, and Mr.. YULEE, Of Flor-
dat latter of whom declared himself opposed to the
whole report. Other Senators, who object to par
.icuar parts Of the report, will endeavor to have it
modified to suit their views, and will ultimately, it is
hoped, give it their support. The Washington Union
states, on the authority of member Of the Senate,
that the compromise will in all probability pass that
body.
The most difficult point 10 adjust, is said to be
the demand of some Southern Senators for an ex-
press stipulation that Slavery may exist in the terri
tories and thus prevent the necessity Of expensive
appeals to the Supreme Court, by the individuals on
question of right Mr. CLAY's bill does not decide
the question whether 1t may or may not exist under
the law of Mexico, the Constitution Of the United
States and only provides that the Legislature OF the
Territory shall pass law respecting African slave
~. Mr. DAVIS proylso comes in here with some
propriety. The Supreme Court might decide that
Southern people had the right under the Constitu-
ZION, to retain their slaves in the territories and yet
the territorial government have no power TO pass laws
for The protection of the owners.
Should the bill fail TO pass, the condition Of the
country will be more perous than at any time here

THE CABINET.-Disseniion in the Cabinet is now
the burden OF the Democratic Press. Rumors oil
misunderstanding between the President and the Cab
met are industrousy circulated through every chan
mel Of communication. The National lnteligencer
rserates its contradiction of these unfounded reports,
and states, on the authority Of the President SHAT he
lends no countenance to any attempt, from whatever
quarter il may come, to disturb or unseltle his ad-
mnstration as il is All the statements or nseren-
70 the contrary are utterly without foundation"
The withdrawal Of Messrs. BULLIrT and SAR-
GENT from the editorial management Of the "Repub-
lie" has been heralded to the world an evidence
that the President and the conductors Of that paper
were at war with each other. This inference is ut
terly destitute of foundation in fact These gentle
men assgnreasous for their withdrawal touching their
personal relations with members of the Cabinet; but
express at the same time unlimited confidence in
Gen. TAYLOR. The correspondent of the Baltimore
Patriot says: "Every body agrees that Messrs. Bull
LIT and SARGENT have done the thing very hand
somsly, and they have the good wishes of the warm
ss. friends of the administration"
