| YANKEE CUNNING.-A writer in The
Cincinnati Commercial has subjected The
proposed Amendment to the Constitu
tion of the United States TO close exam
ination. He shows that if representa-,
tion in Congress be based on the number
OF voters, the six New England States
would be entitled to t'csnty three members,
and Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin to sixty eight; Will The
Amendment will give twenty-ntns 10 the
former aud but sirty one to the latter.
Thus the Yankees attempt no secure to
themselves six more Representatives
than they are entitled to, and allow the
Northwest seven less. In the North west,
24,024 voters have representative, while
New England takes one for every IS $40
At the same time the New England States,
with a population of 3,1S5,2o3 have
kcol,e Senator'S, and the five Western
States mentioned. with population of
6,926 S9i, have bat Ter
WENDGLL PamLIPs, who always
speaks ou& what he tbiuks, made a
speech OF the Fourth Of July, at Fran.
ingh@m, Massachusetts, from which we
extract the following passages for the
benefit of our readers:
Congress, in the true sense Of the
word, has no policy. 1t has a purpose
and It's purpose is to ride over the Fall
elections. Our lead.
ers in Congress know that the Amend
ment will be rejected. Of course it will
be. 1t is not possible
therefore that the Amendment will be
accepted. Congress judges that the Re.
publican party will be victorious az the
ballot box, and that, unfettered BY the
adoption of the Amendment. Congress
will be able TO pass an act that will give
the ballot TO the negro. They hope and
expect that after the defeat of the
Amendment, they will return to Congress,
at the Fall elections stronger than thew
are to-day. They do not want the
Amendment accepted The worst posi-
bic news that Thad. Stevens could hear
would be the ratification of the Amend.
ment. Edo not disgrace the whole pro-
ceeding when / say that n is party
trick, 1t is got up to serve purpose, to
kill time till after the Fall elections, and
get rid of a pressing emergency"
Our neighbors of the IHtelligenca Will
be rejoiccd, no doubt, to find that WEN
DELL PHILLIPS opinion corresponds so
exactly with their OVID. We refer, of

warned in time. They armed themselves

habitual cswardice of mobs, they desist-
ed fron actual violence when resistance

meeting is said to have been as insulting
and disgracetul as rowdyism could
prompt At Huntsville, on May 18th,
the same scenes were enacted and the
same lawlessness prevailed. Eggs were
thrown, pistols fourished, groans and
yells greeted every sentence from the

of the speakers to the railroad and there

Radicalism certainly surpassed itself that
day and richly merited the approval OF
its high priests, Governor FOREMAN
and General HARRIS, whose presence
seemed to inspire their followers
with unusual bitterness anc
malice. Whether these distinguished
apostles of the new dispensation merely
regarded with complacency the feats o.
their disciples, or whether as is intimated
their infammatory remarks were design
