NEW TERRITORY.

We see that Gen. Dodge has introduced a
Resolution into the Senate instructing the com.
mittee on Territories to enquire into the expe
diency of establishing territorial government
sorNebraska lying between Iowa and Mo- on the
east and Utah on the west. From informa
ton derived from Messrs Sharp, Lucas and Bry
ant = present members of our legislature
who reside apon the Missouri river and,
whose opportunities for forming correct con
clusions upon this subject are very great-as
we'll as from various other intelligent sources,
we can in no wise doubt the propriety of the
step taken by our Senator. This is subject in
which the people of western Iowa and Missouri
feel very deep interest and one which deserv-
es the speedy and favorable consideration Of
Congress, generally, but more especially of all
western members. 1t will unquestionably re-
ceive the cordial support of the Missouri and
Iowa delegations, Our Senators resolution was
considered by unanimous consent and agreed to.

We were called upon yesterday mo,ning
by Judge lowell in relation to the above Gf
far.
The explanation of the Judge exoneracs
him fully from the imputa,ion of any attempt at
imposition He says that he never regarded
the matter in any other than n ludicrous light
and as piece Of sport simply, and got mp with
no other view than 20 aft 'rd his friend Col. Nc
Henry an opportunity TO let The Democracy
have the benefit of his--ihe Col's-s'borar sto
during the day, and had related TO him and some
o. hers present. how sadly he had been "borax
ed at Iowa City and that he-I.ovell-- pro
posed to the Col. to cali and 'indignatio1 meet
ing on the head of it, and make known the
source of his calamies to his former friends
That in this way the meeting originated, and
that in his mind there never was single seri
Gus idea associated with it In word, it was
nothing more nor less, than running saw on
the Col because OF his being SO sadly ebarax-
ed at the City. 1t others regarded 1T in Sc
rious light he did not and the naked fact ofther
50 regarding it, did not he thought, justify the
imputations cast against hun. He however, ad'
mitted that had he observed the word Public in
the Proceedings he would have erased it.
That it was wrong to call it a Public Meeting
even in jest.
So far as the Judge is concerned he has sc
himself right in the matter, but he ran sharp
saw on the rest and no mistake. "Take it
in ALL the whole affair is one Of the richest
passages of the political season, in these dig
gings-"May it rest in peace"

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION..-GOV
HENIPSTEAD,S VETO

The bill submitting to vote Of the people
the question of a convention TO amend the Con
stituon OF the State which had passed both
branches of the General Assembly and been
presented for the executive approval, was retur'
ned yesterday to the House of Representatives
where it originated, with objections. The prin'
cipal ground of objection is that the bill as
passed is iripracticable and could not be carried
into execution under the Constitution.
The Constitution provides that when the
General Assembly shall think it necessary to
amend or alter the constitution, they may submit
that question to vote of the people at Tie next
election of members Of the General Assembly
And in case majority vote for 4 convention,
said General Assembly shall provide TOR the
election of Delegates, who shall meet within
six months after said General Election
The election of members Of tEe General As
sembIy at which this vote would be taken is
held on the lst Monday in August in 1851 and
the convention. if ma jority vote in favor of a
convention, must convene on the 1st of Febru-
ary 1855. This bill simply submitted the ques-
tion 'sfor" or 'saganst a convention" and makes
no provision for the election of Delegates in
case majority should vote in favor Of a con,
ven,ion. The next General Assembly would
meet less than two months previous to the time
fixed by the constitution for the meeting of the
convention. And in that time II would seem to
be impossible that bill could be got through
all the forms Of egislation-published to give
it et.ect--and then under it notice given, and
delegates elected, in time to travel from remote
parts of the State to the seat of Government TO
meet according to this constitutional require
ment
This was SO apparent that on the question, OF
the passage Of the bill Notwithstanding the
Governors vote the vote stood yeas 6 nays
53.
The action on this bill is Of itself conclusive
evidence in favor Of qualified vote power III
the hands of the executive. Here was bill
passed, without haste, with much consideration
aud discussion, by decsiye majority, on a sub
ject of general interest-being the incipient
steps to test the sense of the people on princi-
pies cngrafted in the present constitution which
democrats believe TO be Of vital importance to
our political rights-when the provisions of the
bill were such as to put the people to great
trouble aud expense without attaining any
practical result. We hope our whig friends who
voted to sustaln the Governor in vetoing this bill
will acknowledge their errorand cease that dem
agogue clamor which they have kept up for
years about what they call 1'the one man poyer.

RETURNED.

Our members ofthe Legislature returned home
last evening. We learn from one of them that
they adjourned on Monday evening. The bill!
to submit the question OF a constitutional con-
yenti ion to the people passed the second time
but was again vetoed by the Governor. He
took the ground that it was unconstitutional to
submit the question at this time. He will give
his reasons for so doing, at length, on to-mor-
row.
The Usury bill, which we fear will result in
much injury TO our people, has become a
lay.
Our City limits have been extended, but the
charter amended so that our city fathers will
hardly hereafter venture to remove Treasurer
from office.
We are rejoiced to be able 10 say that the code
has escaped without experiencing many very
material alterations. Lucky code that.
