The Permanent Constitution.

| We publish the Permanent Constitution of the
Confederate States entire this week, and to the ex-
clusion of other important matter, that our sub
sCribers may have an opportunity to read and file
it away 1t is the Constitution of the United States
amended in several very important particulars.
1t withholds from Congress the power to grant
bounties from the Treasury, or to impose duties or
taxes upon foreign importations for the purpose
"to promote or foster any branch Of industry" 1t
enacts that all duties, imposts and excises shall
he uniform throughout the Confederate States"
It also denies Congress the right to legisate for
purposes of internal improvement, leaving the
matter with the States Executive patronage is
vastly diminished the President may remove "the
princiral officer in each Of the Executive Depart
ments, and all persons connected with the diplo-
matte service at pleasure but all other civil Off
GERS Of the Executive Department can only be
removed "whcn their services are unnecessary or
for dishonesty, incapacity, inefciency, misconduct
or neglect of duty y and 0hen removed shall be
reported to tie Senate, together sO the reasons there
tended from four to six years, and the President is
ever afterwards made ineligible. Other prominent
features of the Constitution are changed or modi-
fed retaining all of its excellences and in a
sure t!iscarding that which was Objectionable. We
heartily agree with the Charleston Mercury, "That
taken as whole, the Constitution of the Southern
Confe deracy, submitted to US by our delegates at
Montgomery, is the best Constitution, nc believe
ever devised by man. We are grateful for it, and
cannot doubt that it will long endure monument
of the wisdom, ability and patriotism cf the states

A Nice Little Bargain.

The Yankees are famous for making
bargains. A petition to Congress is now
in circulation in Boston for signatures for
calling convention of all the States in
favor of a peaccable Withdrawal of the
Cotton States. Among the reasons and
conditions in favor Of the establishment
of their independence are the following
"That they be allowed to form any
other government whish they deem best
for their interest, provided that they de-
clare freedom Of navigation in the Missis-
sippi river, and surrender all right to a
district of territory of six miles square
bordering on the Mississippi and opposite
TO the city of New Orleans, as port OF
entry of the United States; and further
that they resign all right and claim to
participation of the territories now belon-
ging to the United States and in consid-
GRAFTON Of which all forts, custom-houses
and other property of the United States,
lying within the boundaries Of the above
named States, shall be made over and sur
rendered to them"
Considering that there are alarge num-
Der of forts and custom-houses already in
the possession of the seeded States; and
considering, too, that the seven States
have good and valid title to their pro-
portion of the vast public domain; and
considering further, that the trifing con-
cession of six miles square to permit a
foreign and unfriendly power foothold
within our territory-the whole project
is rather amusing than otherwise. There
is not the usual quantity of Yankee
shrewdness visible in this proposal for {" Il
trade" and they must think the Southern
Government TO be composed Of mon OF
very little sense to make such an offer
with any hope Of its being accepted
