Mr.. OREsrUs A. BRowSsoN writes letter
to Mr. GREELEY, in which he treats of the
Constitutional Amendment and of suffrage.
Mr. BRowSsoS has no objections to either
universal amnesty or impartial suffrage, but
he desires to know whether suffrage is to be
established by an amendment Of the national
Constitution, by the act Of the States, or by
Congress. He thinks that the question of
suffrage belongs to the States.

not be well at present to show how they pro-

great and powerful nation Of America would
speedily know how to quell the agitation
which at present existed in it, and that peace
would reign from one end Of its shores to the

the Atlantic cable as another proof that Eng
land is mistress Of the seas.

made one ofhis happiest after-dinner speeches,
and it notices as Of great Importance the in

ment Of the differences between England and
