PSALMS OF DAv1D.-The following eloquent ex-
tract is from late letter by Henry Giles on the
Psalms of David:
"Great has been their power in the world They
resounded amid the court of the tabernacle; they
Aoated through the lofty and solemn space of the
temple. They were sung with glory in the Halls
of Zion; they sung with sorrow by the streams
of Babel. And when Israel had passed away, the
harp of David was still awakened in the Church of
Christ. In all the eras and ages of that Church,
from the hymn which it first whispered in an upper
chamber until its anthems filled the earth the inspi-
ration of the royal prophet has enraptured its devo-
tions and ennobled its rituals. Chorused by the
winds of heaven they have swelled throughout Gods
own universe on the sky and stars; they have roll
ed over the broad Gesert of Asia, in the mathis and
vespers o. ten thousand hermits They have rung
through the deep valleys of the Alps, in the sobbng
voices Of the forlorn Wadenses, through the deeps
and caves of the Scottish Highlands, in the rude
chanting of the Scottish Covenanters; through the
woods and wilds of primitive America in the heroic
hallelujahs Of princely pilgrims. >>l

sY@ The Register boasts that its information
from the hotly contested Districts before the cleo

We do not doubt it-and the fact proves, what we
frequently ntimated to our readers before the elec
ton, that the Know Nothing party still exists in an
organized form in North Carolina. One of the main
objects of that organization is to deceive, and this
object has, in the present instance, been quite shrew
dy carried out The words, the signs, the grips
were no doubt all given and received and acted upon
in the late contest Hence the "minute and par
ticular" information which the Register was con-
stantly receiving from the First the Fifth the Sixth
and Eighth Districts. The word Opposition" was
used and too successfully used to cloak the enorni-
ties of Know Nothingism. Brother Democrats, let
us profit by the lesson. Let us henceforth meet
and expose our adversaries as they really arc
Know Nothings, to all intents and purposes. 1t
does not follow, because they have changed their
names that they have abandoned their organization

Kansas.

The new Constitution framed for Kansas by the
Wyandotte Convention is to be submitted to the
people on the 4th of October next The Democratic
members of the Convention refused to afix their
signatures to the instrument.
The Constitution provides that "the right of trial
by jury shall be invioate" The first draft provided
that this right should be "extended to persons of
all conditions" This was intended to apply to
fugitive slaves, but was stricken out The Consttu-
ton further declares "there shall be no slavery in
this State, and no involuntary servitude except for
the punishment of crime"
The Legislature is to consist of rs representatives
and 25 Senator's to be chosen on the basis of the
entire population. Common schools and State
university arc provided for Taxes are to be uniform
and equal, and all property employed in banking is
individuals. Corporations of whatsoever kind
are to be created under general law but all such
laws may be amended or repealed The State debt
shall never exceed one million of dollars A home
stead freehold is provided for. Suffrage is confined
exclusively to white men, and the "cold shoulder"
is thus given free persons of color by the freedom
shriekers."
These are the leading provisions of the proposed
Constitution. With the exception of the one relat
ing to slavery, they will meet general approval.
Southern man would force it upon them. 1t is for
them to say, as they have said in Convention, and
not BEFORE whether they will have it or not.

ment

Charles l.. Bernays. the editor of the ia.
siger Gts Ftsttns, Il German paper Of Bt.
l.nuia. addressed letter 10 Frank L, Blair,
asking his opinion of tho Massachusetts two
years amendment.
Mr.. Blair replied that ho was satisfied
with the naturalization laws; had always op-
posed any attempt to impair them, and that
if such measure WAS proposed in Nilsson.
ri he would oppose it, and would not net
with any party that made such legislation d
part Of its creed. lIo says further:
Il observe with pleasure that the leaders
and principal organs OF the Republican par
" hayo, with few exceptions, expressed
their decided dissent from the 80 called
Two Years Amendment adopted in Mussg-
chusetls. and it is worthy of notice that
whilst the strong Republican counties in
Massachusetts voted against the amendment
| it was adopted by the vote of those countios
and towns in which the so called Democrat
| ic party has tho asccndancy The entire
| vote of the State upon the amendment was
! less by 5000 votes than that cast by tho
| bogus Democracy for MIR. Buchanan in the
last Presidential election. II is clear. there
! fore. that ii they had desired its defeat it
was in their power 10 defeat it, and il they
had cast as strong Il vote against il as was
cast by tho Republicans in the Republican
counties of tho State, it's defeat would have
been accomplished. IL cannot bs denied
therefore, that the Bogus Democrats, who
are nov ciamoring against the Republicans,
on account of this amendment, are them
selves responsible for this odious feature
which has boon crgraftcd upon the Consti
tuition of Massachusetts,
