more just than Washington wiser than

what new form Of government or of un-
ion have you the power to establish, or even
the cunning to devise, that will be more
Just, more safe, more free, more gentle,
more bene6cient, or more glorious than
this 2" And by these simple interrogato-

Mr.. President, we are perpetually forget
ting this subtle aud complex, yet obvious
and natural mechanism Of our Constitution; I;
and because we do forget it, we are con
tinualy wondering how 1t is that confed-
eracy of thirty and more States, covering
regions so vast, and regulating interests so
various of so many millions of men, con.
stitnted and conditioned so dversely, works
right on. We are continually looking to
see it stop aud stand still, or fall suddenly
into pieces. But, in truth, it will not stop;
it cannot stop it was made not to stop,
but to keep in motion-in motion always
and without force. For my own part, as

come from the hands of its almost divine

without labor, care, and watchiulness-an
expectation contrary to divine appointment.

The CASE oE TnApDEUs HYATT.-The special
correspondent to the n. Y. Tribune Monday
March 18th, says: A long debate took place
in the Senate on Mr. Hyatt's scrupIes. His
case is regarded here as bumbug, inasmuch
as 1t is well understood that he knows nothing
whatever about Harper's Ferry, or the plans
of John Brown. lie offers to answer, if the
Senate will only say "he needn't, unless he has
mind to-"
If he goes to Jail on the distinction, the snp,
position is he desires to be martyrized He
will probably sue out habeas corpus.

what Is the Matter Now /,

Mr.. Forrest, one of the Ohio Democrat
ic Delegates to the Charleston Convention,
has made pilgrimage TO that city, and on
his return notice is given through the States
man of a meeting of the Ohio Delegation
at Columbus, March 18th, as Mr.. F. "is in
possession of information, which be deems
important to communicate to the other Dele
gates" What is it? Does the following
paragraph from the Washington letter Of
the 9th to the Cincinnati Enquirer afford
a clue ? The writer says:
There is considerable talk here about de-
manding the removal of the Democratic
National Convention from Charleston to
Baltimore. 1t is now apparent that Charles
ton cannot accommodate the crowds who
will be there during the sitting of the Con.
vention There will not be places for one
half to lay their heads, unless in the open
air and under the broad canopy of heaven; /;
and, as for eating they will fare still worse.
The Convention should be held in no place
where persons are compelled to pay at least
five dollars day fer board, and anything
above that the rapacity of landlords may
demsnd, and the necessities of the guest
will constrain the payment of. In Balti-
more ample accommodation can be had for
any number that may assemble there
Richmond or Norfolk. Virginia, would
answer much better than Charleston. -
There is a great and growing repugnance
to Charleston as the place for holding the
Convention, and l shall not be surprised
should the Convention adjourn from there
to some other city, especially should there
be prospect of a protracted session.

mittee on executive usurpation, will not
meet for one week, owing to the absence of
one of the members The indications are
that this Committee will have plenty to do
when once in operation. Secretaries Floyd

Mr.. Cobb is anxious about certain dis
closures that may be made in the direction
Of the New-York Custom House.

DIVORCE IN New YoRK.-The Albany
Evening Journal says:
There is no doubt whatever of the fact
that nine-tenths of the labor expended to
lobby through notifications of our divorce
laws is induced to meet special cases. We
remember, some years since, to have been
most perseveringly besieged to publish
appeals for general relaxation Of these
laws on scripituaI grounds. Orthodox cler-
gymen were employed to engineer the bill
through, and so skillfully did they torture
the divine injunctious, that very many
members Of the Legislature, who had stood
out against every appeal made to them by
the uncerical free lovers" were "almost
persuaded" to forego their settled convic-
tions of duty. They only recovered their
"soundeness Of mind" when they discovered
the fact that one of the "whte craVats"
wished to shake off young wife who, by
excessive maternal anxieties and suferings
had become (as the result proved) tempor'
arily insane, and that the other had rich
parishioner whose wife had an "uncongenial
temper y Both went back to their par
ishes rebuked, as many others had done be-
fore and have done since, who labord to
make our statutes minister to the procliyities
Of free love"

TRoops FOR TExAs.-Lieut. Gen. Scott
has addressed an order to Asst. Quarter
master Gen. Tompkns at New York, from
which it appears that all the disposable
troops of the U. S. army are to be concen-
trated in Texas, for the protection Of the
frontier and it may be for a foray upon
Northern Mexico When the Mississippi
and Missouri Rivers open, portions of the
regiments in Minnesota and Kansas will
proceed to Texas by the Western route,
swelling the United States troops in that
State to about 1000 men. The troops on
Governors Island will be dispatched on
the 18th of this month.

Tue CESsus.-The census Of 1860 will
give the free States, End especially the
Western, increased strength in the House,
and soon Kansas, Nebraska, and Jefferson
will make the West still mofe potent in the
Senate. The census will probably give
population of nearly 100000 900 to the free
States, and the slave States some less than
5000, 900 free, and 1000, 900 slaves If
the ratio Of representation in Congress
should be fixed at 100 900, the slave States
will have 81 members, making no allowance
for what may be gained by fractions; loss
of three Representatives and the free
States will have 1863 members, nearly two
to one, and a gain of 16. This will be a
change Of nineteen, and each coming de-
cade Of years will tell similar story.

WITHOUT HONOR AT HoNE.-The recent
election in Chicago in which the largest
popular vote was polled that was ever Cast
in that city, running up majority Of l.25O
against Mr.. Douglas, is ;he severest rebuko
that has yet been administered to the pre-
sidential aspirant. This, too, in the city of
his residence with which his interests, po-
litcal, pecuniary, and social, have sll been
identified, where no stone was left unturned
to secure favorable result and where the
respective candidates, as we were assured
by the Douglas organs before the election,
were the most popular on the democratic
side, while Long John Wentworth was OBJ
noxious even to his own party, the result
cannot but prove wet blanket to the
friends of the little Giant in the state of ILL.,
We have encouragement, which this result
serves to strengthen, that the vote Of Hi
nos will not be cast for Douglas, though
he should succeed in securing the Charles
ton nomination

SEwARD's SrEEoH.-As was intimoted
last week, we have given in the present
number Gov SEwARD's great speech. We
hope that none Of our readers will fail to
give it a calm perusal, for in the power of
graphing with, and grouping the points of
history, and apportiouing to each its proper
influence aud responsibility, upon the con-
dition of the country, in tone and temper,
in patriotism, it surpasses anything that has
been laid before the country since the day
of Clay and Webster.
We think we hazard nothing in saying
that, in point Of craftsmanship, William
II. Seward, of New York, is not excelled
by any man Of the age. There is no other
man whom the so-callcd democracy so much
hate and fear, as him. The speech has had a
powerful effect upon the public mind al
ready, and its further influence will be felt
as each successive reader shall make himself
master of its well considered, aud rrefraga-
ble positions.
