Who shall Decide when Doctors
Disagree

The st. Anthony Express ridicules the
idea that the resolutions adopted by the late
Democratic State Conventions endorsing
DOUGLAS as the first choice Of the party for
the Presidency, and epjoining upon the dele
gates to Charleston to support him so long
as such support may prove available to him,
and for the general interests of the party
amount to instructions.
The Henderson Democrat, which Joined
the Cypress for weeks before the Convention,
in denouncing instructions, or an expression
of opinion, and which went even to the ex-
tent of bitter denunciations against DoUG-
LAS, and his supporters, now announces the
result of the Convention in an article headed
douglas Men Elected ;" and introduces
the names of the delegates with the remark
that the following gentlemen we're elected
delegates to the Charleston Convention,
aUith instructions to support the claims of
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS for the Presidency"
There is evidently screw loose among
the Administration organs. One says the
delegates are instructed, and the other scouts
the idea. Our Senator, when here organ
iziDg in person the raid which was made
upon DOUGLAS before our Convention, should
have left behind him warrant of attorney
comforting upon some friend the power to
regulate the expression of his mouthpieces
after the Convention. We should be dis
tressed at the idea of any serious discord
occurring among the members of the "happy
family"

Slightly Presidential.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes that paper the
following choice bit of news:
Mr.. Buchanan talks quite unreservedly on the
subject Of his re nomination at Charleston. He
thinks that there is no other man who will be so
acceptable to North and South. and as to his
age, which he, short time since, considered
too advanced to remain longer in public life, he
cites General Scott, who is still older than he,
and who Is quite q prominent candidate tor
the Presidency in 1860. IF Scott is young
enough, am not n"
Certainly. But there is another Difficult.
ty f.: If SCorT is not too old, BUCHANAN is
not old enough! ScorT is BucHANAN's
senior by quite broad margin. ScoTr
showed admirable discretion recently in the
San Juan matter and it is fair to presume
that when BUCHANAN shall have attained
ScoTr's present age he too will have reached
the years of discretion"

Thus, it will be seen that, to initiate any
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States, two-thirds of both Houses of
Congress must concur, or else two thirds of
the States must make application to Con-
gress for Convention, and the amendments,
whether proposed by Congress or made in
Convention, must, to give them validity,
receive the approval Of three.fourths Of all
the States. 1t is quite doubtful, we think,
whether in the present State Of the public
mind either mode Of procedure for amending
the Constitution would, if attempted result
in the requisite thirds of both Houses of
Congress, or of the States, as the case might
