THs ELxcrioS.--We have but little more
this morning with reference to the election
rs bearing upon the New Constitution.
Clinton county gives small majority fol-
it. Cedar county gives $50 majority for it.
Jasper county gives $50 majority for it. II
is not certain, by any means, yet, how it has
Jared. But so far the majority for it is
greater than Fremont's majority last fall in
the same counties, taken together, and We
think the prospect is fair that has been
adopted.

cy's letter with respect to privsteering was
received. There was fair prospect of it's
sentiments becoming adopted as national
law. The wisest and soundest statesman
recognized them n just and proper, and
they were canvassed with zeal and increas-
ing favor by European publicists. 1t is,
therefore. with regret that We learn that
our Government has withdrawn the letter
from the field of Official discussion. II was
called for in the British Parliament. The
Government declined to present it. On be-

On the 10Th ult. she lectured before the
