stiiiled, and the people would assert their in
herent sovereignty. His tributes to the American

a storm of genuine enthusiasm. lie argued that

One Of the smaliss, things Of the DAY that W.
know Of, is the impudence which certain men
exhibit by asking Office from party which they
traduced and illuminated without stint during
the last election. While we have not the slight
est objection to the appointment of honorable
and consistent Bell men to offices 10 localities
where good Republicans are scarce, we cannot
but despise the cringing, beggarly maun'r IN
which some Of the "small fry" Of that party
thrust their petitions before the Republicans ior
signatures recommending them to that gery tlacd
Republican, Mr. Lincoln, for an appointment
They look as sheepish while thus begging, as II

For her blessed little arm
Round my willing neck to twine,
And err dear delicious lips,
With their rosy, auttering tips,
Ever SO much,

She's my cousin, so you see,
She can't fall in love with me;
That always keep in mind,
Aud, indeed, I've always kissed her,
As you would little sister,
just so that she
Might think me

NEw CONSTITUTION or GRoR1IA.--The new
State Constitution Of Georgia, though differing
wholly from the old, makes but few essential
changes in the organic law Of the States. The
most important Of these alterations are the link
ing together in one Senatorial district of three
contiguous counties, without regard to size or
population, for the purpose Of reducing the
numhCr Of Senators to forty four requiring the
assent Of two fifths of the members present to
have the yeas and nays entered on the journal
instead Of two members, as under the cid instru-
Inent. This change the Augusta Sentinel terms
ia very efiectual one to keep an incOnvenient
knowledge Of their representatives vote out Of
the reach of the people" All elections by the
people are to be by ballot but all elections by
the General Assembly shall be pipa roce. Per
haps the most important change is that chang
ing the model of Judicial appointments. Under
the new system Judges Of the Supreme and In-
fericr Courts are to be appointed by the Govern
Or, aud confirmed by two thirds OF the Senate
instead of being elected by the people and Legis-
lnture, as heretofore. Another clause, providing
that the Governor shall have been citizen Of
