The ONE TERM PRINCIPLE.-Geo. Wilkes
says that the reason why the one-term amend
ment to the constitution cannot be put through
Congress, though every man, woman and child
in the country is in favor of it, is that every
member of both houses of Congress expects to
be elected to the presidency, and to enjoy the
place two terms while the members of the
judiciary committee, in which all the one-term
bills are regularly drowned are not willing to
accept the Office tor shorter period than life. !"
We tear that Wilkes takes too limited a
view of the subject The ambition to be Pres
ident is not by any means confined to Congress-
men and judges.

Be GUARDED.-The Boston Post, always
sensible and fairminded, while it comedies that
the treatment the South is receiving is calcu-
lated to ''irritate sensitive people into strong
expressions of remonstrance and coudemns-
tion," thinks it necessary, Notwithstanding, to
caution the speakers and editors of the South
that their defamation may run into an excess
Of expression, and afford an opportunity to
their enemies in the North to augment preju-
dice against them; at this work the Radicals
are already labouring with all the ingenuity
they possess This fact the South should keep
in view, and not afford help to those who de-
sire to prolong the alienation between the
North and the South by uttering words that
may be distorted into meaning adverse to the
peace OF the Union. Some heated orators at
the South do not properly represent the great
mass Of the people for whom they assume to
speak. The sentiment among the people there
is for quiet and peace restoration of old
times; the revival Of business intercourse,
and obedience to constitutional law. Extreme
men 10 both sections are obstacles to this con-
summation.
