THE PRESIDENTS PLAN,

MI. Madison. IN explaining, IN the Fsdera'ist.
The provisions Of The Constitution relating to the
Government ASKS, Whas, then, are tic distinct.
i've characters of the Republican form - In an
swc1ing his question tthe italc word is his) he
- be derived from The great body OF the society,
mot from an inconsiderable proportion Of Ii.
*'rored class Of ft"-Ntso York NS,ld.
The World docs not state the fact. Mr.,
Madison, in the extract givcn, was not ex-
planning tile provision Of the Constitution
'1elating to the guarantee to the States Of d
republican form Of government; but was
showing the conformity Of the plan Of gov
ernment proposed in the Constitution to
republican principles. # the World had
quoted fully what Mr.. Madison says, it
would have shown that the Presidents plan
for reconstruction is fully sustained by
him; and that if the people would recon
struct the State Governments, 80 that they
should be truly and really republican in
form, they must adopt some plan which
does not vary In its essential features from
that proposed by Mr.. Lincoln. Says aIr.
Madison: It is essential to such govern
ment, that it should be derived from the
great body Of the society, not from an in.
considerable proportion Of it; Otherwise
handful Of tyrannical mobiles, exercising
their expressions BY delegation Of their
powers, might aspire to the rank of repnb-
hcans, and claim for their government the
honorable title Of republic"
a clearer and more marked description,
and Reputation Of the slaveholdins aris-
toctacy and their government cannot
easily be found; and it is not surprising
that the Wor2d mutilated the noble sen.
tence, and tried to fling away the better
part Mr: Lincoln's plan proposes to give
the political power in the seeded States to
those who are truly loyal and republican,
and t4ke it away from the handful Of
tyrannlcal shareholders who now hold
Il by force and fraud In thus doing he
fulflls the constitutional duty to guaran-
tee to each State a republican form Of coy-
crnmcut.

There has been considerably more activity In the
market than on the previous days OF the week, and
this evening there few any lots remaining un-
sold In the yards. Much Of this activity Is due to
the rather large quantities taken at present on
Government account. The entered sales today

DT The President utters many a good
joke along with some that orc much like
those Of other men. Ono of the very best
We have seen is that just reported-that
when he found himself coming down with
the small pox, he remarked, "he had now
got something to give to everybody" That
is decidedly good.
BY the way, the public hardly appreciate
the value Of the Presidents joyial, joakins
disposition. Many Of the more solemn sort
ofpeople, indeed, think it a sad falling in
him; some, rs indicating q want of feeling
amid the grave scenes through which we
arc passing; others, us indicating a certain
hghtness Of mind inconsistent with that
weight Of talent which the situation n.
quires, and the Coppclheads vent their
own wit and maliggnity oil toogeth-
er when they quote Nero fiddline
while Rome is burning. ''- =
All these parties are quite one side
of the case. A rich vein of hum91.
so far from indicating absence Of ability.
is sure mnrk Of its existence. There
is, 10 he sure, Light and vnpid wit, which
marks nothing; or if anything, IN empty
mind. But humor, such as the President
exhibits, Is never. found in shallow heads
1t goes With brains. A jovial disposition
determines nothing us to. talent It goes
with small and with largc men. Sheridan
and Webster and BeecAcr and Curran are
partners in it, with a crowd Of people who
laugh and grow fat in all climcs and ages.
Nor does humor and joviaity marx at
all want offeeling. They are associated
with the most Intense susccpibilities to it.
Your people who laugh well can often cry
we'll Old d.. Poor, who had given more
than forty years Of his life to missionary
service in India, joked and cracked puns
Willie in the grippe Of the cholera, which he
knew was to take him away in few
horrs.
There arc jokes, doubtless, which are un-
secn]y and ill-timed; but there are long
fhccs, and chin-sinking grimaces, quite as
mal-apropos.
The truth is, the wit and good nature Of
the President are worth vast amount to
lin and the country. 1t helps to keep him
up. Old Gen. Harrison was killed off in
month because he could not bear grief
Even tough lack. Taylor succumbcd to
his vexations. The country can far better
afford to have their President laugh and
joke than to pine md sicken and die. Be-
sides, it helps the country to bear its g1icfs.
Il. goes like sort Of sunshine through the
land, and makes all thepeoplc feel little
better. Joke on then, your Excellency!
Be yourse!f in the midst Of grave care. Put
all the old Su1]zers and idosyncratic Gin
geghreeches, and queer and honest matron-
1y neighbors Of middle Illinois under tri.
butte to give point to the decisions of Wis
dom, and to unite the tough complications
Of the grave questions of State which
make the Presidential head to ache In these
days Of trial Let the owls look wise! Let
the Copperheads feel sad!

terests, then there is no use Of discussing tho
matter further. If after all the snubblug and
contuHelt hcaped upon the Canadians by
English statesmen and Journalists, they are
still willing to sacrifice their commercial pros
perity to foster English interests, they have no
business to be talking Of making Treaties
with other powers. They deserve to have
none-but to be mere appendage Of Liver
pool, Manchester and Glasgow, which seems,
with some, to be the height of their ambi~
tion. II they cannot make Treaty with the
United States to allow free trade in mauufac-
lures between the two countries, because
they cannot make the same treaty with some
other country, or with England, then
the legislators Of Canada and the other Pro-
yinces ought to subsidc into their true posi-
tion-that Of mere tributaries They have no
