THE CONSTITUTION AS IT OUGHT
TO BE.

The Constitution when originally framed
was made as nearly perfect as its authors
deemed possible, but the fact that it was still
susceptible of improvement was declared by
the special provision made for its amendment.
To prevent the sudden change Of the funda-
mental instrument of government caused by
the fluctuations Of popular sentiment, they pro-
vided a series of checks which would prevent
premature legislation. Thai the document
is not perfect has been declared by our ances-
tors, when they adopted twelve amendments
of the nature of bill of rights. The onward
march of our country, of civilization and
humanity, demands a corresponding modifca-
tion in the instruments OF civil government.
The "Magna Charta," at the time of its
tyrant, was a grand triumph of the people over
their oppressors; but the doctrines Of that
instruu ent are but trite phrases to American
ears, which have long been accustomed to the
sound of the minute-guns of freedom. So
with the Constitution. When in 1889 its
ratification was hailed with a nations jubilee,
It was the most perfect production of states
manship; but we have advanced since that
day; and unless our system Of government is
progressive, it viii act like dead weight to
draw our people further and further from the
goal Of perfect civilization and freedom.
There are at the present time two amend
ments before the National Legislature.
The first, forever abolishing human slavery
will be adopted. As his Excellency states il
his late message, san intervening election
shows almost certainly that the next Congress
viii pass the measure if this one does not
Hence there is only question of time as :,
when the proposed amendment will pass at al
events, may we not agree that the sooner tn

We are glad to learn that the lessee Of the
Walnut Street Theatre has had the good sense
to refuse to allow that establishment to be
longer used for Sunday night performances.
The following correspondence explains
ITSELF
"PWLADEIrIIA, December 6, lS6i.-Dr. S. NJ.
LANDIs-Dear Sir Since seeing you yesterday,
so much complaint has been made of the pro-
ceedngs last Sabbath evening, that for the
interest of the Theatre and Mrs. GARRETSONs per-
sOnal interest, am requested to return you the
fifty dollars paid yesterday for next Suud W even
ing. In case it was occupied as before we have
good reason to appreheud a serious disturbance,
which caused us to act in time 70 prevent. Re
GREETING that you cannot carry out your lectures
as intended, am, very respectfully, etc,
"W. II. PAUL,
"Agent for Mrs. NJ A. GARRETsoN."
We incline, however, to believe that the
only serious disturbances that could be appre-
hended were the natural manifestations of
popular disgust towards an adventurer who,
under the guise of a sacred profession, would
lure crowds to listen to personal abuse of
our most veneTated and esteemed citizens.
The pastor of the First Progressive Christian
Church may attempt to salye his wounds with
flaming advertisements, charging his martyr
dom to the prosecutions of clergymen, but
those of the public who have leisure moment
to bestow upon the subject, will attribute his
i'll fortune to the inherent nastness of the doc
trines which on weekdays are eXpounded
to audiences of either sex exclusively.
