Time Required 10 Amend the
Constitution. aa

The first time the Constitution was amend
ed two years and two monts elapsed between
the passage Of the amendments by Congress,
and their ratification by the requisite number
Of States the second time, there was an
interval of three years aud ten months. The
third and last time the intervalwas ten months,
although the amendment was universally de.
manded by the public sentiment OF the coun-
try To ask final decision on the moment.
Gus proposition submitted by Mr.. Lincoln in
the brief space of a month would be piece
of solemn buffoonery of which the President
OF the United States cannot be guilty. What
a discreditable and indecent farce he was
enacting in the urgent supplicating, almost
pathetic appeals he makes to Congress in
favor Of his amendments, if he meant to
limit all the proceeding necessary for render
ing them part of the Constitution to a
shorter period than ever was consumed by
Congress in maturing tariff bill ra
II, as we are bound to suppose, this propo
sition is offered in good faith, with reasona-
BILE allowance Of time for its consideration, II
is clear that the proclamation announced for
the first of January cannot then be issued
The legal effect of that proclamation (that is,
il its assumption of authority were well found
ed, would be to render the proposed amend
ments idle and futile by the summary extino-
ton of slavery before the amendments could
be adopted. d.--New York World.

The New York Herald, speaking oil the
Presidents emancipation plan, says:
Many suppose that since the Abolition Sen
ators have determined to block Mr Lincoln 5
policy Of eompensating emancipation, by
adopting Mr.. Clark's resolution, he will not
issue his contemplated abolition proclamation
on the lst OF January. Ii is certain that the
Abolitionisls will vote no suitable sppropria-
ton in aid OF such policy; and it is to be re-
membered in this connection that Mr., Lincoln
stated to the border State representatives that
unless such measure was passed that the
bottom was out of the tub Touching this
matter OF the proclamation OF freedom TO the
slaves, it may be stated that the public sentl-
ment OF KeniuckY aud Tennessee is upani-

bravely. His position is no longer one
of attack; he defends himself with un-
faltering frmness, but he sends to Nc
Clellan for help McClellan's glass for
the last halfhour has seldom been turned
away from the left
He sees clearly enough that Burnside
is pressed-needs no messenger to tell
him that. His face grows darker with
anxious thought Looking down into
the valley where Is, 900 troops are lying,
he turns half questioning look on Fitz
John Porter, who stands by his side,
gravely scanning the field They are
Porter's troops below, are fresh and only
impatient to share in this fight. But Por-
ter slowly shakes his head, and one NAV
believe that the same thought is passing
through the minds of both Generals:
They are the only reserves of the army;
they cannot be spared
Mcclellan remounts his horse, and
with Porter and dozen officers of his
staff rides away to the left in Burnsides
direction. Sykes meets them on the
road-a good soldier, whose opinion is
worth taking. The three Generals talk
briefly together. 1t is easy to see that
the moment has come when everything
may turn on one order given or with
held, when the history of the battle IS
only to be written in thoughts and pur-
poses and words of the General.
Burnside's messenger rides up. His
message is, "I want troops and guns
If you do not send them / cannot hold
my position for half an hour." !" McClel-
lan's only answer for the moment is
glance at the western sky. Then he
turns and speaks very slowly: "Tell Gen.
Burnside that this is the battle of the
war. He must hold his ground till dark
at any cost. / viii send him Millers
battery. ! can do nothing more. Ihave
no infantry" Then as the messenger
was riding away he called him back
Tell him if he cannot hold his ground,
then the bridge, to the last mani--al-
ways the bridget If the bridge is lost,
all is lost"
The sun is already down; not halfan-
hour of daylight is left Till Burnside's
message came it had seemed plain to
every one that the battle could not be
finished to-day None expected how
near was the peril of defeat, of sudden
attack on exhausted forces-how vital
to the safety of the army and the nation
were those fifteen thousand waiting
troops of Fitz John Porter in the hollow.
But the rebels halted instead Of push
ing on; their vindictive cannonade died
away as soon as the light faded Before
it was quite dark the battle was over
0nlya solitary gun of Burnside's thun-
dered against the enemy, and presently
this also ceased, and the field was still
The peril came very near, but it has
passed, and in spite of the peril, at the
close of the day was partly success
not victory, but an advantage, had
been gained Hooker, Sumner and
Franklin held all the ground they had
gained, and Burnside still held the bridge
and his position beyond. Everything
was favorable for a renewal of the fight
in the morning.
