THB JUDICIARY ARTICLE-Some of the
legal hairsplitters have discovered that the
part Of the new constitution adopted by the
people IL in danger for the want Of an
enasting clause. Because there is no specific
declaration in the article when it shall take
effect, therefore it may never take effect. The
part Of the constitution in which was the de-
claration that should have force from January
next having been rejected, it is argued that
such declaration is of no more account to us
than lift were written in the laws of the Modes
and Persians. It seems to us, however, that
the people acted on the constitution as whole;
they rejected certain parts and accepted GER
tain other parts; and in accepting the judiciary
article they accepted with it so much Of the
enacting clause as may be deemed necessary
to give that article force.

A Dull Philosopher Enlightened.

The dull philosopher of the Tribune cannot
understand how an interoceanic canal at the
Isthmus Of Darisn twill bring the traffic Of the
mighty Amazon by way Of the Gulf Stream
around to an interchange with the Mississippi
Valley" We can tell him. The Darien Canal
will be followed by or accompanied with the
annexation Of the West India Islands, Mexico
and Central America. Our merchants next
will establish their trading houses all along the
coasts Of the mainland down to Darien. They
will next establish their exchanges in trade
between the coffee producers of Brazil and the
-four producers of Minnesota, and these ex-
changes of flour by the line Of the Mississippi
and the Gulf Stream Qhrough the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean Sea- will pass into
Brazil and draw thence by the same route the
trade Of ''the mighty Amazon" But per-
haps our dull philosopher is under the idea
that the Gulf Stream has Its beginning at the
Straits of Florida, though it really comes
from the equatorial basin Of the Atlantic
Ocean, and passing by the mouth of the
Amazon skirts the American coast by Darien
into the Gulf of Mexico. We commend the
whole subject to the careful study of our
dull philosopher. And thus endeth our first
lesson.
