ruENEw coNsrrTUIloN.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
As an humble advocate of the ratifica-
ton of the ''new Constitution" by the
people on the 4th Saturday in this month,
permit me through the columns of your
able, conservative, and patriotic journal,
TO submit few reasons why the people
should vote for the ratification of that IN
strument without the least hesitation.
There are two controlling reasons which
influence and direct my conduct in the
matter: First, the new Constitution
when ratified and adopted, in the mode
prescribed, enfrmachiSes and frees every
white man in the State from that political
slavery which was fastened upon him by
the wicked and fraudulent power that
has controlled our destinies as a State for
the last few years. Second, 1t
accomplishes a most thorough and
| salutary reform III the judicial
system, by increasing the Judges
of the Supreme Court from three
to six, and vacating all the judicial offices
from the lowest to the highest. These
two amendments, and alterations in the
"organic law are alone in my Judgment,
sufficient to recommend the 'tnew Consti
tuition" to the favorable consideration Of
the people, if there was no other amend
ment proposed. Then / say IN conclu
sion, let every good citizen white ant
black, vote for the ratification of the new
| Constitution. Wilson.

The Effect on Business.
AT the produce exchange the fiuctuating
course of gold has brought the markets
almost TO a stand-still. The decline in
gold and Che advance in freights have
driven the shippers of breadstuffs out of
the market, while the home trade refuse to
purchase more than what is absolutely ne
cessary to supply the pressing wants. Pro-
visions ruled very dull Prices not
