THE MESsAGE

Most OF our space to-day is devoted to
the Presidents Message, document always
looked for with interest by all classes. Por-
tons OF it express statesmanlike views. but
on Kansas affairs it is not only lame, but
pandering so much to border rufianism
that Douglas, Walker, Forney, and many
others of equal standing cannot swallow its
non-lntervention doctrine, which would suf-
fer set of trading politicians to set aside
the will and wishes Of large majority of
the people of that territory. Among the
items in the Kansas Constitution which
Mr. Buchanan skips over so lightly, is the
clause relating to future constitutional con-
Ventlons, which declares that "no alteration
shall be made to affect the rights of prop
erty IN the ownership of slaves" and their
offspring, so that no matter how the peo-
pie would vote on that question, slavery
would exist just as long as shareholders
chose to keep it there. 1t keeps all the
present territorial laws in force, and also
keeps alive all criminal prosecutions and
penal actions. Under this latter clause
those treason cases" which were finally
disposed OF, might be revived and the of.
tenders punished, which fact, by clause
IN the constitution, would make such per-
sons ineligible to any office in the State
There is no provision by which any altera-
ton OF the constitution can be made until
the year 1864.
1t IS also considered very unjust in the
matter of the apportionment of represen.
tatlon In the first Legislature to be elected
uhder It, For instance, Doniphan county.
witn population, according to the terrific
mai census, OF APO, is allowed four renre-
sentatiVes; while johnson, memorable Cor
It's frauds, and having according 70 the cow
census but eight hundred and n;nstr i
habitants, is also allowed four. The 10.
counties of Atchison and Doniphan arc Il
lowed only one Senator each, but t,,o arc
given to this same johnson. Such ont
rageous inequalities are found throughout
the apportionment, and for all this the peo-
pie are called upon to vote in voting on the
question of slavery, by the border ruffians
debating that the electors shall only vote
tickets headed For the Constitution with
Slavery" or "For the Constitution without
slaVery,"-no tickets against the constitu-
ton being permitted to be taken.

The STATE CoNsTITurIoN.-Th ere
are many persons in this state in favor
of the Legislature taking the necessary
steps to have the present Constitution
abolished and a new one formed. Men Of
all shades Of politics are included in the
number, and when the many blundcrs
and incongruities of that instrument are
considered, it is not streAge that there
should be a desire to have it changed
in many particulars. AS general
thing, VIC suppose the politicians of the
Democratic party will oppose the move
ment. Processing to be the great Re-
formers of the age they, nevertheless,
oppose all reforms not brought about
by their hands, or which might tend to
lessen their power in the state. The
present constitution is universally ad-
judged to be full of errors and over
sights, and to need reforming worse
than the old one ever did, yet if an at
tempt be made to change it, VIC shall
find our Democratic Reformers, bending
all their energies against the movement,
lest the opposite party have the oppor.
tunity of doing well that which they
attempted and bunglcd.

CLERKS OF CIRCrT COuRTS IMPORTANT
DECIsI0N.-Judge C>ain, of Pierce Georges
County (Md.) Circuit Court, has just rendered
an important decision in case which VIC
mentioned some days ago. 1t appears that
Owen Norfolk was elected clerk of the Circuit
Court of Pierce Georges county in Novcm.
bcr 1851. and died in November. 1854 that
Edward W. Belt was appointed by the CIR
cut judge to the office, and continued to ACT
as clerk until the November clcction, 1855,
when Chas. s. Middleton was elected by 'he
people, and in pursuance Of the constitution
vas commissioned and qualified as such. and
is now in possession of the oilice, claiming to
hold the same for six years from his election.
At the last NHcn,hcr election John II, Sans.
bury was elected clerk. and having given
bond, claimed possession of the office. Mr..
Middleton, the occupent, refused to surrender
on the ground that he was chosen to serve for
six years from the time fhis election, in 1855.
and not as Mr. San>burv contendcd, for the
remainder of Mr. Norfolk term of service,
which commenced in November, 1851, and
cndcd in November, 1851.
On the refusal Of Mr.. Middleton to surrcn
der, Mr.. Sansbury. by petition. invoked the
power of the Circuit Court, Judge Grain, TO
place him in possession of the Office. The
case was argued by able counsel. and aft, r
mature deibc,stion Judge Grain has decided
that Mr. Middleton. under the terms of the
constitution, was elected to serve for the inll
term ofsiX years.
