The movement to Amend the
Consultation.

In order forever to set at rest the vexed
question of slavery the proposition will un-
dcubtedly come up stthe ensuing session of
the National Congress to abolish slavery
according to the method prescribed by the
Constitution. Atwo-third vote being first
required of the Senate and House, it will
be for certain Democratic Congressmen
10 say whether the question shall be sub
laitted to the people. The probability is
that they viii no longer make factiOus
and pig-headed opposition to what they
know must inevitably take place in the
next Congress which the President may
Immediately call after the 4th of March.
Ii we are not sorely disappointed the resO-
luton passed by the Senate last winter, will
pass the House this winter, and the whole
question of Freedom and Slavery will be
submitted TO the people
The only question is, can it be carried
through the Legislatures Of three-fOurtbs
% the States The Constitution does not
say how soon the assent of the Legisla-
lures shall be had. It may be in enc year
Or in ten years. But, what are the chances
for having the work completed2 The Re-
publican party has majority in each
House of all the original nineteen Free
States, except in theSenste of New Jersy

The Louisville Journal, which gave Nc

At the last sitting of the Paris Academy
of Sciences, a paper was received from DR.,
Blsnchet on three curious cases of consti-
tutionsl lethargic slumbsF. One OF them
was that of lady twenty-four years of
age, whohaving slept forty days at the age
of eighteen and fifty days at the age of
twenty, during her honeymoon, at length
had a fit of sleep which lasted nearly .
whole year, from Easter Sunday, 1869, TO
March, 1863. During this long period a
false front tooth had 10 be taken out in
order to introduce milk and broth into her
mouth This was her only food; she re-
msined motionless, insensible, and all her
muscles werein q state of contraction. Her
pulse was low, her breathing scarcely per-
ceptible; there was no evacuation, no lean
ness; her complexion WIS horid and
healthy. The other cases were exsctly
similar. Dr. BlAnchet is of opinion that
in such cases no stimplants or forced mo
tion ought to be employed. --

by the testimony Of sundry witnesses, who
proved that the accused remained within

he could easily have left had he so desired
that his conduct and conversation since he
has been among them clearly shows thai

The Official Vote at the etate Election
-. fn Pennsylvania.

IN EGnMBN
The Secretary of State of Pennsylvsnis
communicates the oficisl report of the Oe-
tober election in that State. The entire
Union vote, home and soldier, was 255, ,9S1 /;
the entire Democratic vote, 242,122, leav-
ing Union majority of 1859. The re-
suits sent to Harrisburg included both the
homs and soldiers vote and they cannot
be separsted. The Secretary says: II have
made application to The Prothonotsries for
separate returns, but am told that they have
given the returns as certified to them by
the Return Judges, and as that body hss
adjourned sine die there is no way of get
ting them together again. Itis therefore
impossible to obtain the official home vote
from number of the counties, and as the
vote was SO close as to require the official
returns to decide it, the fact as to who had
the majority can never be known nor Off
cially announced.

with which the air is thick. If Stanton

Father WeIles is to resign his trident and

ASIDE from the manifest irregularlty' NOT
to ssy positive fraud, practiced IN the
election, in the Fourth Ward, Monday;
and aside from the marching up to the
polls in an i~ntimidating manner ana the
illegal voting Of a whole company, orsome'
thing like it, Of Federal soldiers who are
temporarily stationed in the city on guard
duty, the Conservatives have themselves to
largely blame for their defeat. In the arst
place. their course at several Of the late
elections has not tended to solidify theiror-
eanizstion or to createthe most cordial feelt
ing in the ranks; onthe contrary ithas tend
ed to the disorganization n decentralization
Of the party and encouragement Of the
masses, . Many persons would naturally
ask, "What is the use. in belonging to
party the leaders Of which won't make
nominations and won't vote only when it
suits them" care we to be led like sheep,
to vote when it suits our leaders to vote
and to abstain when it don't2" and such
like questions. Az
A number of Democrats remained away
from the polls, Monday, because Others re-
NAMED away at the late County election
when the friends of WILLIAM HousroN
were anxious for his success. So the party
goes, like two balky horses, onepulling at a
time: no organization, no concert of action,
no harmony.
In the second place, the ticket was q lit
tie irregularly got up, and the truo Oonser'
vative sentiment was not sufficiently con
suited. The Opposition exhibited wisdom
in selecting much of their ticket. They
had on it some men Objectionable only
from the company they were keeping.
Again, the Mayor, in his desire to be
" liberal, even to a fault" rather than ex'
hibit the appearance of selfshnsss or parti-
zanism, gave the Opposition too liberal a
share of the officers of election, consider
ing the manner in which the Democracy
are always treated when the Opposition
have the appointing power. In the Fourth
and Fifth wards his appointments, were. to
say the least, some what lame.
Let the illegal votes of tho Fifth Ward
be purged from the box and the seem.
ing irregularities of the Fourth be fairly
investigated, and then if the Conservative
ticket is defeated, we have not a tear tc
shed. We only desire fair play.
