The Constitutional Amendments.

The Soano Herald, in speaking Of the
amendments to the Constitution. and the flip
pant manner in which a portion Of the press
declare that it should make no difference
whether they were cons,itutionaly submitted
or not, says:
THE issue to he sett ed by the Supreme
Court is one Of vastly greater importance
than any considerations If expense attending
annual elections an! annual sessions Of the
Legislature; one of far deeper interest TO the
people than anv benefits resulting from the
adoption Of the amendments; for it involves
tina question whether we have any Cons,tu
ton at ALL Should the Supreme Cunr, at
firm the validity of these amendments, or if
thew should he regarded valid without
adjudication, we ran have no as>uia nce> that
the first LEGISLATURE convened under them
will not propose and adopt tina amendments
-disppnse not only with their putin alton.
rs in the present instance. but with reference
to subsequent legislature and their sub
mission to a vote of the people, whereby
their own term of otfire, rs well as that of all
State officers and the Supreme Judges, may
be made go extensive with their lives. Such
n proceeding woul.l he no more violaiive of
the Constitution than was the omission to
publish these amendments last year. con.
stilu,ion disrerarded is no constitution ut
all: and if what we call our constitution can
be amended without a rigid observance Of
the terms therein prescrib H. We might as
well invest the Legislature with absolute
sovereignty at once; for arqniesenre in one
aggression upon that instrument will be hnt
nm incentive TO other and greater encroarh.

IL themselves by improper ndulgences in that

nervousness, irritabiliy. arrangement OF the d.
