We understand that the CLIosoPHIC SOCIETY"
Of the College Of NeD. Jersey, at Princeton, will
present block of marble, as soon il can be pre-
pared, for place in the Washington National
Monument. The block will exhibit the Arms and
Motto Of the Society, handsomely executed. No
doubt this patriotic offering will be gladly received

ing as il will from body Of ingenious youth, cti-
zens Of every section Of the United States, assem-
bled at one Of our most ancient and distinguished
Institutions OF learning on the very spot where one
Of WASHINGTON most brilliant and decisive victo-

We hope that the noble example will be follow

and College in our land, but by associated bodies
generally, until the finishing stone shall be placed
on the Monument in the city Of Washington, which
will be welcome testimony to the latest posterity

VIRGINIA ELECTION LAW.

As the law postponing the elections in Virginia
is of interest to many of our readers, we copy the
annexed statement Of its effect, as prepared by the
Richmond Times, in order to facilitate a correct
understanding of it,
The election Of Representatives in Congress, positively
postponed to the fourth Thursday in October.
The election Of Senators and Delegates under the present
constitution, is also postponed the day but if new
constitution shall have been agreed upon BY the State Con-
venton before The goth Of June, and ratified by the people on
the fourth Thursday in August then the election Of Senator'S
and Delegates under the present constitution indefinitely
postponed.
uton before the 10th Of June hs popular vote on It's ra
6caton rejection to be taken the fourth Thursday in
August and voters qualified by the constitution to
be allowed to vote upon it.
If the new constitution be thus agreed upon and ratified,
the election of Senators and Delegates throughout the State
will take place, according to the appoonment liked IN the
new constitution, on the fourth Thursday in October.
If the constitution be not agreed upon BY the Conven
ton before the 20h of June, if be so agreed upon, and
then rejected by the popular vote the fourth Thursday IN
August the election Of members Of Assembly will take place
under the present constitution, the fourth Thursday in
October. n s.
II the new constitution be not agreed upon by the Conven
ton before the 2h Of June but before he LIST Of August
then the popular vote to be taken upon ITS ratification or
lection the fourth Thursday in October the same day on
which the Congressional and Legislative elections are liked
II the Convention do not prepare new constitution before
the LIST of August the act makes provision for its being
submitted the popular vote but leaves the matter to the
care Of the next Legislature.
The Times adds that the Convention now offers
but poor prospect for the PRONUNCIATION OF new
Constitution before the 10Th of June and the prob
ability is, therefore, that the present organic law
will govern the elections to the next General.

The GoYernor-, NIessnSc.

The Special Message of Gov. Hunt on
occasion of the Extra Session which our
Legislature began yesterday, is a calm.
temperate and very forcible presentation of
the issues on which a large body Of the
people have given their verdict in the cleo
ton just accomplished 1t argues fairly
and decisiVely the merits of the act which
brought the last Session abruptly 10 a close.
1t states the pressing Importance of speedily
completing the Canals shows how great
are the benefits the Erie Canal has already
conferred upon the people of the State
that above Sl6,OOO,O00 have already been
spent IN the Enlargement that at the present
rate ten To fifteen years viii be required to
complete and render fully useful what has
been done on II already that the expense
OF doing II speedily will be much less than
of doing it tardily that the rapid enlarge
ment Is sure 70 pay that the State Will get
out OF debt many years sooner by pressing
the work 10 a speedy conclusion than by
putting it off that this is the last work of
the kind which the State viii be called on
TO undertake and that after il IS done and
paid FOX, the people of New-YOrk viii be
IN position to which history has no par
siiel' IN possession Of magnificent revenue
without taxation.
The Governor next argues the Constitu-
uonaiity of the measure proposed for the
enlargement. He considers both the design
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1851-06-11

of the trainers of the Constitution and the
meaning of the clause fOrbidding the con-
tracing of debt on the general credit of the
State. An absolute assignment Of the rev.
enues. with no recourse to the Treasury, he
regards as clearly permitted by that clause
and within the discretion of the Leglsla-
ture. This was always his view, but at the
time of his Annual Message. he did not sup
pose that capitalists would invest In a stock
containing no obligation or guarantee of the
State By the bill now before the Senate,
and the assurance that the certificates 1t
provides will be readily taken, all doubt on
that head is obviatcd the confidence felt by
mopied men in the permanency of the Canal
revenues is also confirmed by the fact that
though the tolls have been reduced a quar-
ter. thew have Welded to the treasury since
navigation opened this Spring, above Sl7O,-
600 more than during the same period Of
last year.
The Message urges the policy of enlarg-
ing the Oswego Canal simultaneously with
the Erie. 1t shows that there is no reason
for partialism to either of these works that
there is no antagonism of interest between
the canals and railroads; and finally it con-
graduates the Legislature on the compile
ton of the Erie Railroad, and recalls to
mind the rapid growth of the West and the
necessity that our channels of transpOrta-
ton should not fall behind the increasing
wants of that mighty region.

is not entitled to a seat in the Senate In
consequence of having been chosen a MEM
Der of Congress. Laid ON the table. The
Message of Gov. HuNI was read, and five

~ The Erening Post has an ingenious way
of making out that the late special election did
after all turn out against the Canal Bill. We
congratulate The Post on this discovery and
hope that It may always have just such pleasant
victories. As long as our candidates get the
regular certificates Of election and their seats, it
would be cruel to refuse our friends on the other
side the cheap consolation Of amusing them
selves with the figures of the returns IN every
way their fertile fancy may suggest.
