DEAR Sm-The Legislature having failed to
apporttion the State into Congressional districts
we are in the constant receipt Of letters asking
info rmation as to the mode in which the APP
preaching elections will be held-whether four
members will be elected by the districts as pre-
scribed by the law of 1916, and one by the
State at large or whether the five members,
to which the State is entitled, will be elected
by the general ticket system, in accordance
with the course observed previous to the pas
sage of that act. The solution of this question
depends entirely OIL the course which you
shall deem it incumbent on you to pursue in

matter, and it is not Incompatible with YOU
views to make it known, you will greatly OBJ

the subject.

GOV. F0OTE AND THE INTELLIGENCER.
Gov. Foote has a letter in the Nat. Intelligent
Ger, giving, or attempting togive, his reasons
for the course he intends TO pursue with re-
gard to the senatorial vacancy, and requesting
the editors Of that paper to reconsider the
statement made by them some time since, on
the subject, and see if they were moi wrong in
the conclusions and opinions they then ex-
pressed; TO all Of which the editors reply in
an article which we think to be conclusive and
unanswerable, and so Ear from retracting the
position formerly assumed, materially strength
en- Il. The principle involved in the article of
the constitution of the United States, referring
to filling senatorial vacancies, is discussed to-
wards the close Of the editors remarks, which
we copy:
"The principle here declared, is plain, sim
pie and easily understood, viz that ne time
ofthe expiration Of a regular senatorial term
is aipnys a thing certain and IN eiep, aud the
duty Of the Legislature, and of that authority,
alone, under the Constitution, TO provide by
choosing a Senator for the ensuing successive
term of six years, cannot be evaded without a
violation Of the Constitution, and the rights of
the State concerned.
There is in this principleno room for chance,
or the happening Of a vacancy, as contemplate
ed by the second clause of the third section of
article one Of the constitution, which declares
that " II vacancies happen, by resignation or
otherwise, during the recess Of the legislature
Of any state, the Executive thereof may make
temporary appointments, until the next meet
ing Of the Legislature, which shall then fn
such vacancies"
The word " happen" here used in the Con-
s%titution, clearly defines the contingency in
which the Governor Of State has the rightto
make a temporary appointment. The mean
ing Of this word, according to the best author
tiles, being TO " fall out; to chance; to come to
pass; to light to fall by chance" in which may
plainly be recognized the intention of the fra
mers Of the Constitution to provide for the
many contingencies depending upon the un-
certainty Of life, upon the accidents of life, and
the changes Of the mind or will, TO which every
individual who may he chosen by the Legis-
lature for six years, is always liable. In order
that such casualty may not deprive a state Of
its equal representation in the Senate, the Go
vernon is authorized to make a temporary APP
pointment until the next meeting of the Leg
stature, which shall then fill such vacancy.
Il may also be stated, by way Of enforcing
the irresistible conclusion here arrived ut, that
instead Of the Senate Of the United States be.
ing composed Of two Senators from each state,
chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six years,
the power contended for by Gov. Foote would
authorize every Governor to nsurp the power
OF the Legislature, and violate the Constitu-
ton, by making temporary appointments fr
a part Of the SIX years"

Sleep on, sleep on, above ths corpse
The Winds their Sabbath keep;
The wave is round .hee, and thy breast
Heaves with the heaying deep.
Der thee, mild eve her beauty filings.
And there the white gull lifts her wings,
And the Hacyon loves TO lave
Her plumage on the holy wave.
Sleep on no willow DER thee bends,
with melancholy air;
No violet springs, nor dewy rose,
His soul of love lays here.
But there the sea flower, bright and young,

And like weeping mourner fair,
The pale Gag hangs its tresses there.
Sleep on, sleep on, the gltering depths
or oceans's coral cave
Are thy bright urn, thy rcqem,
The music Of its wave.
The purple gems forever burn,
In fadcless beauty round thy urn,
And pure and deep as infants love,
The blue sea rools It's waves above.
Sleep on, sleep on, the fearful wrath,
ofIningling cloud and deep
May leave it. wild aud stormy track,
Above thy place OF sleep.
But now the wave has sunk to rect,
And now twill murmur DER thy breast,
I'D the bright Mermaids of the sea,
Perchance will make their home with thee.
Sleep on, thy corpse is far away
But love bewails thee yet,
For thee the hemt wrung sigh Is brenthed,
And lovely eyes wet;
And see, thy benuteous bride,
Her thoughts are lowering by thy side.
