OHIO CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

We have already mentioned the adjournment
sine die, on the 10th instant, of the Convention
which was convened to form new Constitution
for the State of Ohio. 1t was first organized at
Columbus on the 9th Of May, and adjourned over
on the 9th Of July, to meet in Cincinnati on the I'd
Of December. The two sessions, therefore, occu.
pied one hundred and sixty-three days.
The Constitution was adopted in Convention
under the previous question: Yeas rs, nays IA.
It is to be submitted to vote Of the people on the
third Tuesday of June, and, if approved, elections
will take place under it the second Tuesday in Oc-
tober, at which time Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Legislature, five Supreme Judges, a large
number Of District Judges, clerks of courts and all
county officers are to be elected. 1t will probably
be one Of the most important and exciting elections
ever known in Ohio. .f..

SOUTH CAROLINA.

The greatest inconsistency is manifested by the
politicians and presses Of South Carolina in regard
to her condition. When we hear some Of their
speeches and read some of their articles (says the
Petersburg (Va.) Intelligencer) we should suppose
such had been the baleful influence Of the Federal
Government upon the State that her fields had been
left desolate and her cities turned into abodes for
the owls and bats. No paper has done more to
create this impression than the Charleston " Mer-
cury;" and yet late number Of that paper fur
nishes a most emphatic contradiction Of the fact,
and proves that South Carolina, instead of being
miserable and desolate, is eminently prosperous
and thriving. Here is the paragraph to which we
allude:
:" We publish this morning an abstract of the
census Of the State, for which we are indebted to
the courtesy Of the Marshal. This statement is
Official II presents very gratifying result, and
: is sufficient answer to the sneers which have
become the stereotyped feature of all comments,
: by certain class of political writers, upon this
State. The increase Of population in ten years
: has been more than seventy thousand, and this
while South Carolina affords an incessant emf
grafton to the new States. and gains less by i'm
: migration than any State in the Union except
North Carolina"

DEATH OF GENERAL BROOKE.

A Telegraphic despatch was received from New
Orleans at the War Department yesterday morning
announcing the death of Breyet Major General
GEoReE M. Brooke, which took place at San I'm
tonic, Texas, on the 9th instant.
We are not informed Of the cause Of his death.
Of the military history of this distinguished off,
Ger the following particulars cannot at this moment
be uninteresting to any reader:
Gen. BROOKE entered the army, from Virginia,
on the Sd of May, 1908, as First Lieutenant in the
9th infantry. he was promoted TO the rank of
Captain the LIST of May, 1910; to that of Major of
the 4th infantry in 1914; TO that of Leutenat Col
onel same regiment March |, 1919 and in July,
1881, to the rank of Colonel in the 5th infantry.
His first brevet was that of Lieutenant Colonel,
August Is, 1914, for gallant conduc, in the de-
fence of Fort Erie;' his second was that of Col
lionel, September 18th, 1914, for distinguished and
meritorious services in the sorte from Fort Erie"
He was made a Brevet Brigadier General Septem-
Der IL 1924, for ten years faithful service as Col
onel;" and ne was brevetted Major General May
30th, l846, g for meri,orious conduct, particularly
in the performance of his duties in the prosecution
of the war with Mexico"
Fort Brooke, at Tampa Bay, was established by
him and received his name, in 1924, where he was
stationed for number Of years. M
At the time Of his death he was in command of
the 9th military department, (Texas,) and engaged
in plan ming an expedition against the Indians.

The following admirable paragraph from the
Star Spangled Banner, at Trenton, (says the Nash
vile Banner,) speaks the honest sentiments of the
great body Of the people Of Tennessee:
"A good man is a great man. And wise man
may be known by his works, and by the deep
impress he stamps upon the world by the force Of
his character. Who is there that will ever forget
Z the fearful condition of the country when Gen.
: Taylor was called to another sphere Of action,
$ and when Mr.. Fillmore was called by Providence
to preside over the destines of this country. It
was time of excitement. The North and the
South had become divided upon the subject of
: slavery. And the most angry passions seemed
: to have dethroned reason-and the country SEEM
: ed rapidly tending to ruinous and irredeemable
vortex of destruction. The President of the
United States was between two walls of fire.
Fanaticism had gained so rapidly upon the better
judgment Of the people, that there were hundreds
: in both sections of the Union who could not be
: pleased. And hence the President became a
subject Of vituperatiou. But he came into office
resolved to do his whole duty. And to whom are
we indebted now, but to President Fillmore
and his Cabinet, for that peace and tranquility
which pervade the country! TO execute the
la,os--fo uphold the Constitution-this acas the
feed purpose Of Mr.. FILLMORE. And nobly has
8 he maintained this resolution"

DINNER TO DANIEL WEBSTER.

We learn from the Patriot what gave us great
pleasure, that the members of the MARYLAND STATE
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, now in session in
Annapolis, prompted singly by adesre to do honor
to the great man who now fills the Office of SEcRE-
TARY OF STATE to show their sense of his public
service, and their cordial approval Of his course on
the great questions involved in the compromise Of
the last Congress and also to mark with their con-
demnation the wanton, malignant, and baseess
charges that had been brough: against him in the
last Congress, have invited DANIEL WEBSTER to a
public dinner and that he has accepted of the invi
tation. The dinner is to take place at Annapolis
on Tuesday next.
The members of the Convention, regardless of
all party associations, have united in this testmo-
NAL to Mr.. WEBSTER; and the manner in which it
was offered, and the motive which prompted it, are
alike honorable to them as it is to him, than whom
no man deserves it more.
1t will be great occasion, this dinner to Daniel
Webster by the Maryland Constitutional Conven-
ton, and will be remembered, by all who take part
in it, as one that every MARYLANDER and every
friend Of the UNION should rejoice over.

The New York Express says that the M1L1rARY
ASYLUM will be endowed with rich fund. The
law grants for the purposes Of the Asylum all the
money remaining in the Treasury to the credit of
soldiers of the army, and by them unclaimed the
amount of this is very large. The pensions and
back pay due to soldiers, and which will never be
claimed, will also form rich endowment for the
institution. Vast numbers of men who were en-
gagged in the war of 1912 are now dead. There
is large amount Of naval prize money due in the
same manner-the seamen having been scattered
over the earth and ocean, or perhaps buried be-
meath them.

The MILITARY ASYLUM COMMISSIONERS made a
visit yesterday to Mount Vernon, for the purpose
Of examining the local sutableness Of that interest
ing place, or its contiguous grounds, for the pur-
pose Of the proposed Asylum for invalid and super
animated soldiers. The associations of that vene-
rated spot would impart to it peculiar fitness for
such institution, and should it be thought, by the
eminent officers entrusted with the selection, to full
fiji the other conditions required in the selection of
site for the Asylum, the choice Of Mount Vernon
will be gratifying to the whole country.

SATURDAY, MARCH %, 1851.

II is pleasure TO US, at any time, to be able to
place before the readers of the National Intei-
gencer paper SO altogether worthy of their entire
attention as the Exposition Of the Law in the form
of Charge to the Grand Jury of the District
Court Of the United States for the District of Mas
sachusetts. by the upright intelligent and learned
Judge of that Court, which appears in our columns
to-day But we have particular satisfaction in do
ing it under present circumstances, when misap-
prehension of the obligations of the Laws upon
individuals, if it does not extensively exist is seri-
ously pretended in certain quarters, and attempted
to be made principle Of action by which popular
and legislative elections are to be governed, and by
consequence of which the souls and bodies of ill
informed and credulous men are placed in the
greatest jeopardy.
Judge SPRAGUE, as all know, was distinguished,
when member Of either House of Congress, by
eminent ability, good sense, and logical reasoning
This Charge, of which he is the author, appears
to us to manifest these qualities in high degree.
And, now, how is it possible, after SO clear ex-
position of the law by SO high authority, that any
but the excessively wicked or the excessively gno-
rant shall either counsel or practise resistance to
the law of the land
Judge SPRAaUE has done the country service,
and we trust that every man, not only in New Eng
land but in, other and opposite quarters of the
Union, will read this admirable Charge, and lay its
doctrines and its truths to heart.
