The late disastrous result in Con-

weaker, as the work goes on. Weary Of

name for legalized robbery, weary of the
platitudes and owls. weary, Oh SO weary,
of thieves, knayes and cowards, ,our forces
fall out, and our army gets more and

we learn? Is it possible for us to waken

off the asses, owls and thieves, and sum.

The new system which is in process Of
being established by Congress is not def
mite or limited, as the other was. tits
like the English constitution in being un-
soritten; butt is unlike that in having no
great body Of precedents by which its
operations may be regulated. In fact, it
implies a scorn of precedents, even if
they existed. 1t is emphatically, in all
respects, "law unto itself" It's lines Of
movement and policy cannot be predicted
or forecmt. Its variations cannot be cal
culated upon. Depending for its char
acter simply upon the predominant pas
sion. or purpose, or whim of the hour, it
must have this in common with one man

nothing fixed, and all things uncertain,

Review ofthe situation. !,

LONDON, April 9,--Itr is now known
that the Emperor Napoleon, deeming the
possession of Luxemburg indispensable
for the military security of the French
frontier, not long since commenced ne
gotiations with the King Of Holland for
the purchase of the Grand DuchyI and
its incorporation with the French Em.
pire. But as the fortress Of Luxemburg
which is one of the strongest Notifications
in Europe, is held by Prussian garri-
son, ,and the Prussian Government backed
by the whole of Germany, firmly OBJ
jects to the transfer Of the Duchy to
France, the King; Of Holland has with.
drawn from any further negotiations on
the subject. the French Emperor in.
sists that his propositions shall be car
ried out and the treaty completed. The
national pride Of France has been deep
ly wounded and wild ssanti- Prussian
feeling has seized the country. Mean
time, while the dispute is pending, both
Prussia and France are making military
preparations. The threatening state Of
affairs is the cause of the financial panic
which now exists in London, Paris and
all the principle commercial centres Of
Europe. s'i'

Ed. SPIRIT: The question Of striking
the word "White'' out of the Constitu-
tion Of the State will be submitted to the
voters of Ohio, at the October election
next fall. This question, SO far, has cost
the people over three thousand dollars,
and will cost as many thousands
more, The evening the vote was taken
in the House, four Radicals resigned, viz:
Shipley, Of Muskingum, Myers,of Darke;
Davenport, of Belmont, and CLARK, Of
Guernsey. Their resignatian was disa-
greed to, as previously understood. They
then all voted for submitting the question
to the people. This was only to relieve
them from their solemn pledges, made to
their constituents before their election
Mr.. Davenport lodged the vote, as they
had precisely enough without him.
The election in Connecticut makes sore
places in their ranks. Look out for a

The amendment will not be adopted
unless majority of all the votes cast al
the election for State officers are in the
affirmative. Thus, if four hundred thou.
sand votes are cast, it will require ovel
two hundred thousand negro suffrage
votes to carry the proposition. If there
should be only three hundred and fifty
thousand votes given on negro suffrage
and four hundred thousand for State off
GERS, all those who neglected to vote or
negro suffrage would be counted against
the proposition, But the opponents o.
the measure should cast positive votes
against, and not rely on the absentee neg,
atiye votes.-Gn. Eng. &

THE INDIAN TROUBLES.
General Declaration of War
Against the Whites by the Indi-

anS On TIC FldlmSs
ST. Louis, April s.-A special dispatch
from st. Joseph says that the Montana
Post of the 14sh ult., gives the following
information in regard to the Indians:
"Eighteen hundred lodges Of Sioux, num-
bering three warriors, in each lodge, nm
der the Chiefs Red Cloud Iron Plate, and
White Young Bull, are encamped on the
Big Horn River about thirty-six miles
from Fort Smith. The Crows, Bloods,
,Peguins, Grosventres and Sioux have
made peace ameng themselves, and joined
in league against the whites. About 800
lodges are yet north Of the Missouri
River. but will cross over and camp near
the Mussel Shell River as soon as the
spring opens; and after concentrating their
forces, the confederation will wage war
against the whites. They say the whites
have occupied their only hunting ground.
and that death is inevitable, and they pre-
fer it in battle rather than BY starvation.
The commandant at Fort Smith doubts
his ability to hold the position, and it is
thought that if reinforeements do not ar
rive soon he will come to Clark's Fort on
the Yellow Stone. s3 go i3fh|
