enough. Monarchs are famous for the elonga-
tion OF their baptismal appellations and Senator
Doolittle has received from one who is not his
special admirer the linked and long-drawn out
title of q National Mon n-Democratc-Repu0l

this was not meant to be complimentary, we
must DO the Senator the simple justice to say
that 1t implies a great stock of principles an
extensive and many. colored wardrobe, nume-
rous resources, and great catholcty OF OPINION;
It is not the sort Of name upon which one wo9iu
like to undertake, at short notice, an acIostIts.

notion of a Senator working for bis vlctuals.
We are not. Bread, butter, beef, mutton, not
10 mention other alimentary articles, are very
good things. Sancho Panza expected them in
great proiusOn when he was made Governor of
his Island, but he didn't get them; and Senator
Doolittle may expect them and be grievously
disappointed in the same way. 1t appears so
Just now. 'Tis hungry world but it is also a
charitable one and we shall be the very last
persons desirous of seeing Senator Dooittle tor
mented by good appetite with nothing to ap-
pease it.. His relatives, we fancy, will take
care OF him.

Johnsons Man has the more accurate sound;
and If anybody, ever needed man to look after
him, 1t is the President. He is welcome to Mr..
Doolittle.

but the johnson principle, in all the ramihca-

centre OF the speculation: 1t is johnson VS.. Con-

The Amendment Before the Southern
Legislatures - Governor Humphreys
Message.
From the Times
The Legislature of Mississippi is now convened
in extraordinary session by proclamation of the
Governor OF the State. In his proclamation
convening Ehis body, Governor Humphreys did
not set forth any special object Of the session;
but in the message which he sent to it when it
met on Monday, he enters upon a discussion of
1he political situation, which he finds to be very
dismal; and, after referring to some matters OF
lesser consequence, proceeds to make violent
onslaught upon the Constitutional amendment,
declaring 1t to be such an insulting outrage
upon the Southern people, such gross usurpa-
lion of the rights of the State, and such cen
tralization OF power in the Federal Government
fhatp (says he, 81 presume a mere reading OF 4
will cause its rejection by you.p
1t is not astonishing that Governor Hum
phreys should usesuch language as this, wher
1t ls considered that he himself Gt we mistake
not) belongs to that class of men who will b.
deprived OF the opportunity OF holding office II
future by the passage OF the amendment II
question; but for the sake of the pacihcatioI
of the country, and the settlement of its poll
tical difficulties, we shall be sorry II slm1a
view Of the matter is taken by the Legislature
which he addresses. We can, however, indulg
in little doubt that it will be. Thus the frs
Southern Legislature OF the unrepresente'
States, before which the amendment has beel
fairly brought (ior neither South Carolina no
Texas took 1t properly under conslderatlon
will stand in determined opposiuon to It's ratlh
cation.
At the beginning of next month the Legisla
lure of Georgia meets IN regular session, ana
will be followed by the Legislatures OF othe
Southern States. Upon the Constitutions
amendment they will take action, favorable o
unfavorable, during the coming winter. A
most OF the members OF these Legislatures wer
elected before the subject was brought to tn
consideration OF the Southern people, it will no
be very astonishing if they pronounce agalns
it with something approaching unanimity. Blu
as the assent OF very small number OF tn
Legislatures will be required to make the amend
ment law, we do not consider 1t necessary
yet to give up all hope in the premises.
North Carolina, Arkansas, and Louisiana ca
be added to Tennessee, the amendment will b
secured, and the rejecting States will doubles
tbenlbe willing to give it a reconsideration.
The Democrats Of the North have been yer
positive that not single Southern State wi
Iatify The amendment, now or hereafter. II 20
Democrats had always proved themselves rem
pie prophets as to the course OF pollLlcs, eltnt
IN the Southern States or the Northern State
either before the war or since the war, we migf
give some heed to their predictions IN this ma
Ter. But, unfortunately, they have been almo
