The Constitution

One of the most important questions to be
decided ut the coming election is whether
the Constitution shall be amended. The law
in relation to the constitution at present, is
10 the eff, CT that when IA convention thai
Shall be called to make proposed amendments
has made them, that such must be the laws
of the land. The amendment as proposed,
is that such alterat on as n convention call
Ell together by the legislature shall make,
cannot become laws until they have received
he vote of the pe' PIE. Ali parties seem to
agree that this would be a safer and more
,uly Democratic II ethud OF conflicting our
Ntate aif airs than the present mode. Tie
question is 10 be deci Ell by ballot at the
coming election, and il is important that all
,oou.d give it due amount OF considera
ton.

The Contest.

AS the day Of election approaches, the
more serious become our reflections as TO
the great importance of the contest No
man can estimate to the full extent, the i'm
portance and ultimate results of the deci..
ION OF the people, in regard to the great
struggle now pending between the three
great parties into which the American peo-
pie are divided. The simple question rea-
sons itself down, when stripped of all ex-
traneous matter, to Union or Disunion The
wisest men, the most patriotic statesmen,
have long since OWNED that the issue would
come. as between sectionalism and National.
ism. The day has comc-and but one ques-
ton is presented now to the American
people, and that is Union or Disunion. If
Mr.. Fremont is elected President of the
United States on the fourth day of NOvem-
Der next, in the language of Mr.. Fillmore.
ed" If such is to he, and we believe it
will be, the result Of Mr. Fremonts election,
we cannot but believe that all national men
all Union-loving men-all patriotic men, will
be willing to decide the contest, without
reference to old prejudices or party predi-
lections. but with one heart and one soul,
give their vote for the Union, the whole
Union, and nothing but the Union.
a calm survey of the great contest now
raging, must demonstrate to any candid and
unprejudiced mind, that Mr.. Buchanan is
the only national candidate who has the
most remote prospec: of an election. While
we are willing to admit Mr.. Fillmore to be
national in principle-national in feelag,
and that his administration would be nation
al if he could be elected; yet we cannss
blind ourselves to the fact, that in the Stats
of Maine, his entire party is absorbed by the
Abolitionists That in Indiana but two par
ties are in the field, the Democratic and Re.
pvblicaD, and that so far as all indications,
in all of the Northern States, are given out,
by recent elections, and by the Press. the
reflectors of public opinion, that his party is
entirrly absorbed by Republicanism, and
that the only hope for the Union and success
of National principles over sectionalism and
fanatacism, is the election of Mr.. Buchanan.
We ask from our opponents, who profess to
be national men, fair and candid consider
alton of the present condition of parties
and that they will no longer permit old and
defunct issues to divert their attention from
the real issue. which is Union or Disunion.
The time is at hand when this question must
and will be decided, and let every man act
and vote under full sense of the Importance
of THE CONTEST.

the action of the Naval Retiring Board last
summer, and adjourned until Monday. In
the House, Mr.. Florence presented the me-
mortal of Gov. A. H. Reeder, contesting the
seat of Gen. Whitfield, a delegate from
Kansas. It was read, and, along with all
other contested seats, viz: Allen, of Hi

of Louisiana, referred to the Committee on

considerable excitement in the House. The

House adjourned until Monday.

THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.

In the u. 5. Senate, on the 9TH, the follow
ing resolution, reported by Mr.. Hunter from
the finance committee was taken up for
consideration:
ResoLved, That the Committee on Finance
be instructed to prepare and report such of
the general appropriation bills as they may
deem expedent.''
Messrs. Seward, of N. Y, and Wilson
and Sumner of Massachusetts,, opposed the
motion and argued that the House of Rep
resentatives possessed the exclusive right to
originate appropriation bills, and to raise
money. Messrs. Toombs and Hunter ad-
vocated the resolution, which was finally
adopted.
The New York Express thus refers to the
projects which Senator Seward and his allies
have in hand:
1.-THE frSt-to fan war passion about
Central America-in order, as he gives out
(see his speech) to take, that is annex, (free)
Canada. (1he 'CauSe of Freedom de-
mands, perhaps, that we and the British
should cut each others throats)
The second-to keep the $7O,OOO,OO ap-
preparation bills in the House of Represen-
tatives-to use these appropriations for
what, in New York, is called, 1.-THE Cause of
Freedom,'-but plumber, and knayery in
general.
We who in New York, know Senator Sc
wards associates and table companions
and we who see them in Washington and in
Albany, thronging around him, better un-
derstand his zeal to start the Appropriation
Bills in the House, and better comprehend
his logic-than others, in other States, not
trained in the New York Seward and Weed
Seminaries''

THE CONTRAST

The following extracts, the former from
the Wilmington Commercial and the latter
from the Fayetteville Argus, both Wing
and Know-Nothing papers, exhibit in strong
colors the difference between those who
would sink party for country and those who
would sink country for party.
From the Wilmington Commercial.
Sand what is the duty of the American
Party or Know-Nothings in this fearful
crisis? is it not now seen that no affinity or
brotherhood can be held by them with the
northern wing of that array without doing
wrong to the South Why do we say this
From the fact that not soLitaru member of
the northern Know-Notsing or american
P0rty roted for Mr.. AIKEN, the Southern
Candidate.
"For our part we think it is high time to
discard prejudices as to the names of parties,
and to cease to cherish unwise affection for
them. If there is a constitutional demo-
crazy as there certainly is, the President
and his Cabinet being the head of that
party, why. should not all constitutional
men at the South go with them in sustaining
me rights of our beloved egion-Southern
Rlghts--Constitutional Rights--and no
others! We are confident this will be the
case throughout the Southern States, with
the exception of those who are unwilling to !
give up the name of party, though all the

another name. These citizens remind us

Highly Important News.
BLOODY CONFLICT ANTICIPATED.

Yesterday, after the above was in type,
we received, through the Columbia Times,
the following highly important Dispatch
from Washington, under date of the 10th
instant.
Governor Shannon will leave this city for
Kansas on Monday next, and takes out with
him instructions from the War Department
to Col. Summers, to use the United States
Troops if necessary, to enforce the Procla-
nation of President Pierce. Twelve hun
dred troops stationed at Fort Leavenworth
and Fort Riley -arp ordered to hold them
selves in readiness for action if called out.
1t is evident that bloody conflict is
anticipated, hence the timely and efficient
preparations being made.

THE TRICK.

Developments go to show that the cleo
ton of Banks as Speaker, was the result OF
sneaking trickery. On Friday, Messrs.
Whitney, Walk, Brown, &c, National A
mericans'' from the North, voted for Mr..
Aiken to be Speaker. On Saturday, these
same gentlemen, with Davis, Of Maryland,
voted for Fuller, and thereby really for
Banks-showing that the movement of the
day before was intended to throw dust in
the eyes of the Democrats. The Washing
ton Star says that it is generally believed
that if the votes of Whitney, Walk, Brown,
&c, had been necessary on the final trial
to secure the election of Mr.. Banks, he
would have received them their purpose
of creating the impression at the South that
the Simon-pure Know Nothings of the North
were disposed to stand by the right of the
slave holding States, having, as they thought,
been secured by their act of so long pre-
venting an organization, under the pretence
of indisposition to drill under the command
of Mr.. Giddings.-[ Richmond Enquirer.

ON INTEREST.

A paragraph on interest from Henry Ward
Beecher's pen:
''No blister draws sharper than interest
does. Of all industries, none is comparable
to that Of interest. It works day and night,
in fair weather and in foul. It has no sound
in its footsteps, but travels fast. 1t gnaws
at a mau's substance with invisible teeth.
1t binds industry with its film, as fly is
bound upon a SPIDERS web. Debt rolls a
man over, binding him hand and foot, and
letting him hang upon the fatal mesh until
the long legged interest devours him. There
is no crop that can afford to pay interest
money on farm. There is but one thing
raised on farm like it, and that is the
Canada thistle, which swarms new plants
every time you break its roots, whose
blossoms are very prolific and every flower
of million of seeds. Every leaf is an awl,
every branch spear, and every single plant
is like platoon of bayonets, and a field full
of them is like an armed host. The whole
plant is torment and vegetable curse.
And the farmer had much better make his
bed Of Canada thistle than attempt to lie at
ease upon interest"
