tarv Of State, 70 whom was referred the con
current resolution ol the 18th inst, respect
ins a submission to the Legislatures OF the
States Of 90 additional article to the
constitution OF the United States. Il will
be seen from tins report that the Secretary
of State had, on tie lGth instant Transmitted
to the Governors c? tic several States cCr;i-
fed copies Of t0e JOINT resolution passed on
the 18Th instant, proposing an amendment
% the constitution.
Even IN ordinary times q question Of
amending the constitution must De Justly re-
glrded as Of paramount Importance.
This importance IS at the presene
time enhanced By the fact that the
Joint resolution was not submitted by the
two Houses for the approval of the PrcsI-
dent, and that Of the thirty-six States
which constitute the Union eleven are ex-
cludcd from representation in either House
OF Congress, although, with the single eN-
cepti0n Of Texas, they have been entirely
restored 10 all their functions as States, in
conformity with the organ &c law of the
land, aud have appeared at the national cap
ital. by Senator'S ana Representatives, who
have applied for and have been refused ad-
mission to the vacant seats. Nor have the
sovereign people of the nation been afforded
an opportunity oi expressing their views up
on the important questions which the
amendment involves Grave doubts, there
fore, may naturally and justly arse as 10
whether the action OF Congress Is in hur-
mony with the sentiment of the people, and
whether State Legislatures, elected WITHOUT
reference to such an issue, should be called
upon by Congress to decide respecting the
ratification Of the proposed amendment.

NEENlNT RErUEuCAN CoNy NyENTIoS-The
Republican State Convention Of Vermont
was holden yesterday ct Montpelier. OF the
nominations made we need not speak. They
are OF tried men, and being thoroughly ac-
ccp;ahle to the people of the State, that's
enough. But the resolutions can &c appre-
ciated in one place as well as another. They
are admirably expressive Il the loyal sentI-
ment Of the North. They declare in favor
OF that reconstruction which shall keep the
government in loyal hands. They approve
the constitutional amendment, but acknOwl-
edge equality of rights to be the cardinal
aim Of the people. They hope for the
sTeediest possible restoration Of the seeded
States, provided that the prep0nderance Of
loyalty ID eacn makes the admission wise
and sale They affirm that gratitude should
cause the soldier Of the Union TO be remem-
bcred in peace and in politics as well as he
vas IN war. They render just tribute to
the late lamented Senators Of Vermont.
Finally, they renewedly and more explicitly
ayow their devotion to equal rights and In
munities.
These are utterlnces worthy Of the Green
Mountain State, which never yet sweryed
from the path Of freedom and true progress
They Will be heard at this time with especial
pleasurc-at "a time when, the battle being
nearly won, many slacken in their zeal and
the i0cs Of freedom and right are cUyer.ly
