Loss and Gain.

IFA writer in the Ohio Pataot, who
signs himself Justice, says: The State of
Ohio now contains eighty-eight counties
and the New Constitution cuts off three AS
sociate Judges for each county-making
264-and in their place. creates one Pro-
bate Judge, making 90 county Jud ges.-
tice there are also created four additional
Judges of the Common Please, and one
Supreme Judge.
How then stands the case?
Judges cut off, 264
Additional Judges created, 90
Difference, l72
The case then stands thus, in the Judi
cial department:-26 Judges are to be
cut off from the public Treasury-and their
place to be supplied by 90 Judges, SS of
whom will no doubt be paid mostly by fees,
instead Of looking alone to the public Treas
ury,as the Associate Judges have always
done.
In the Legislative Departmental
Senate stands as at present-35 Senators,
and one Lieutenant Governor to preside
over the Senate-making 36 = the present
number of the Senate. In the House, there
will be a few additional members = but
then the Legislature meets only once in two
years, which will be great saving to the
public Treasury, in the shape of pay of
members, printing, and various other ex-
peDses.
1t appears, therefore, that numerous
body Of public officers will be cut off under
the New Constitution, and tie public Treas
ury saved from great expense. This
may account for the vindictive feelings
manifested by some people against the New
Constitution-Tax payers should look to
these things"
GF But these are by no means the only
nor the most important items of gain which
the people will make by the adoption of the
New Constitution. That instrument pro-
vides that the property Of all corporations
shall be taxed the same as that Of andi-
riduals. And here's the rub. The oppo-
nents of the new Constitution claim privi-
leges for the brood of charter. mongers which
they have been unwilling to accord to the
people. Under the laws of the State the
Bankers alone have been annually exempt
ed from taxation to the amount Of from
one to two hundred thousand dollars. By
a special Report of the Auditor of State
made to the Legislature last winter, it ap-
pears that all the Banks in the State paid,
in the year 1850, but $57, ,Oe4 SO as taxes,
and the same Report also states that,
had they been taxed upon their notes or
bills discounted or money loaned at interest
the same as other property is taxed, they
would have paid S2O7 400 SO. And is
there any reason why they should not be
taxed in the same way as the people? Are
they less able to sfoot the blls,' dividing as
they do their large dividends? And with
the evidence of retrenchment Sticking out
in nearly every department of the new con-
stitution, does any one believe that the gov
ernment under it will cost the people more
than under the present? The fact is, and
it cannot be denied, that the new Constitu-
will save to the people from 100000 toi

GSome Of the witnesses against the
Cuba expeditionisls arrested at New York,
are said to be persons who joined with the
intention of betraying them; and it is sup

the expedition, have been mostly dis.

Southern Congress.
CHARLESTON. $.

OhAnLcoAo otN3 W cs
The South Carolina Southern Right.
Association Convention, composed of dele
gates appointed by the various State Rights
Associations of this State met in this city TO-
day, and was duly organized by the ap'
pointment of the following officers:
President-Ex Gov. ]. P. Richardson.
Vice Presidents-Ex- Gov. W. c. Sea
brook, j. H. Ashe, N. S. Griffin, ]. W.
Simpson, R. Fl. Goodwin, B. X. Hanne'
gan, and w. H. Gist.
Secretaries-The Editors Of the Green
lille Mountaineer, Camden Journal, Black
R liver Journal. Edgefeld Advertiser, Ches.
ter Standard, and ]. e. w Walker.
There are 40 Associations represented,
and the Convention is composed Of All del
egates.
The President on taking the chair, calm
ly'and temperately reviewed the position OF
affairs. He considered Southern inslitu-
tions, under existing circumstances, could
not last twenty years. He alluded forcihly
10 the disregard of blood and treasure ex-
pended by the South in the acquisition of
territory, and her subsequent exclusion
from these territories; and said that when
dangers threatened our existence, thus
reach our doors, it was time to arm against
them. Ii was futile to hope that the Cons
slitution, based upon such legislation,
could yield nothing to its support. The
deliberations of the Convention, he said,
should be confined TO the when, where, and
how resistance should be made, though he
confessed It should not be resorted to rashly.
He, however would not discuss that ques.
tion, as he did not desire to bias the minds
of the members.
He loved The Union; he did not believe
there was an amateur disunionist among
them. He advocated union among eur.
selves. If an enemy are forming in our
rear, said he let US await .heir approach
il on our van let US march up to them. 1t
has been said that whom God and Nature
joired together should not be put assunder;
but the reverse may also be applied-Those
whom God and Nature has put assunder,
let no man join together.
He then argued at length on the want of
affinity between the two sections of the
country, and advised earnest and temperate
deliberation.
The Convention then adjourned for the
day. The votes tomorrow will settle the
question of notification. The President is
q strong union man. The Convention EN-.
braces many talented men.

Mr.. Noah's Lecture on the Jews.
St. Paul, Dec. 16, 1851.

This lecture WAS attended by very large and
fashionable audience, last Friday night, at tile Nj.
E. Church. The speaker, son OF the lAmented
Major Noah, Of N. ", Jew by birth, no, only
showed himself familiar with his subject, but en-
tered into it with an ardent zeal, such as no one
could equally have manifested, bu, one Of the
children If Israel.
The immense material involved in the subject
Of MIR. Noah's discourse rendered it impossible to
dwell properly upon each argument advanced.
But nevertheless, much ground was covered and
"a forcible reasoning shown upon each topic. lie
clearly explained the of the severity Of the
Mosaic law, and its correct application to govern
the Israelites after severe bondage Of four hun
dred years in Egypt, and the stern necessity Of
inducing the Hebrews to assume the original
tenets Of their faith rather than the idolatry Of
Egyptian custom, to which their servitude had
familiarized them. The commemorative ritual Of
The Jewish faith, and its explanation were promi-
nent features in his lecture, and much Informal
ton thereof was necessarily acquired. The Pc
culiar ceremonies, such ns those Of marriage,
death, Introduction Of eating food, &c., occupied
a merited portion,of remark; as well as the agri-
cultural warliSe, and democratic character Of the
ancien,', and the preservation Of their forms tc
this era Of civilization as correctly as were they
in the days Of Moses. The modern position Of
the Jews throughout the world, was the great
feature, and the immense influence welded by
them over European affairs in secret and su5

concluded with an appeal to the sympatbies o

expressed the hope that when the inheritance o
Judaism was restored, they would choose re-
publican form Of government, prototype Of thu
Of the United States Of America.

The Secret Ballot.

We referred in paragraph, few days ago;
to the opposition Of the Wing papers Of New
England, TO the law passed at the last session n
the Legislature of Massachusetts, giving the peo-
pie Of that State The protection Of the Secret
liallot. Since that we have observed thal the
subject has elected reulaFIss in other quarters.

after remarkns The opposition Of the Wing press
generally TO this 'st and sauiary law, gives tie

suits:
Moreover, it has been frequently asserted by
the opponents Of democracy that there was no
necessity for such u law--ilat there were no
W higs who would coerce those in their employ
to vote the Wing ticket.
Now mark the result and the operation OF this
law upon its first trial. Lowell, the greatest
manufacturing town in Massachusetts, aDc ,ne
which has been uniformly aud reliablyk,,hg
heretofore, now sends ten Democratic Represen~
lives to the Legislature in the place Of ,Le len
Wings that have always been elected from that
place. The Democratic vote is increased in thar
city from s9l to ,3I2-a gain Of 45l. What
does this MEAN. IL cannot we'll be ascribesI 10

Lowell contains large population Of ksso,ing

and who have in this election, for the first time

result shows which way their political tendencies
are. BY the operation of the secret ballot law
