The Hon. John Quincy Adams
m ade speech before the Consti-
tutional. Club Of Boston, on Wash
in ston's birthday, in which he re-
viewed the political situation, and
in which he stigmatized in sever
est terms the course of the admin
istration at Washington:
..Imean to say said Mr.. Adams,
"and I say it with q sense OF re-
sponsibility' that to-day there is
nothing of the old constitution of
our fathers left to Is except what
was always understood and be-
lieved to be q mere incident of
power, and that's this war power.
. The old constitutional ed
ifice of the fathers was built of
white marble of the State, which
they brought together voluntarily
as a work of love. and piled up
there one by one, each in pride
and delight, adding stone after
stone to the beautiful and sym
metrical edifice under which we
all lived. But Whist is this thing
which we now see there in Wash
in ston7 Is that built Of those
stones? Ia that put together by
any such bans as those which &C.
IN ented the old capitol? Why, gen
tlemen, it is built of the volcanic
lava, but yet hot from the results
of the outpouring of the mount,
and it is clamped together. by
great bans of black, rusted iron
letters. It's no such ediface at all;
and now we have in the presiden-
tia1 chair a man who, when he
sweaps to protect and defend and
presefve the constitution, seems
to think that this is the consti-
tuition which he swears to pre-
serve"

A WORTHY CONGRESSIONAL
TRIUMvIRATE.-Th of the ablest
speeches delivered in Congress
during the present session, were
made by Messrs Cox, Brooks and
Wood, on the all-important sub
,ject of the tariff. The arguments
presented and the facts adduced
we're unanswerable. These gen.
tlelnen, rightly considering that
this question will form one Of the
most prominent issues in the next
Presidential campaign, have sub
jected it to a thorough ventila-
ton, and the position they have
taken in advance will be fully
sustained by the Democratic par
ty throughout the country. And
here let us pay deserved tribute
to the untiring labors, the earn
est and sustained efforts Of these
able representatives, in their I'M
swerving, manly and persistent
opposition to the unconstitutiOn-
al legislation of the Radical ma
jority. Though in a hopeless
minority, they have worked with
a zeal and devotion which strict
and conscientious sense of duty
alone could inspire. They have
proved themselves in every way
worthy Of the high trust reposed
in them by their constituents, and
are e1ninently entitled to their
continued confidence and sup
port.-N. Y. Record.

The proportion in bread stuffs
is fair, but not enough for contin-
gencies. No farmer can be indie
dendent who looks to others for
the essentials of subsistence. The
amount of corn received at our
landing by every boat should be
a warning. A crib full Of corn in
December will insure the crops
for the ensuing year.

THE LATE Connecticut ELEC-
r1oN.-In commenting upon the
election in Connecticut, the New
Haven Register says: ''Negro
suffrage lost Mr.. Jewell many
votes, and he gained none. There
are thousands of Republicans who
have always voted against negro
suffrage in Connecticut. Many
of them have declared that they
would not vote with the Repub-
lican party after negroes We're
allowed to vote" And they kept
their word right nobly.

A Grand Democratic Rally.

There will be grand DolnQ-
cratic rally in Morehouse Parish
on the 18th of May next, for the
purpose of thoroughly organizing
and to give expression to tho pol
icy that should govern them i'll
all future actions; and to correct
the erroneous impression that has
gone abroad relative to tile Con-
vention of the Conservative party,
so-called, that. met in Bastrop on
the 9th inst. The proscriptive
policy of that Convention will be
Especial object of animadversion.
It has our hearty approval. We
can look upon the Conservative
movement as nothing less than a
uphonious synonyme for Radical
ism.
The Democracy have always
advocated a strict construction
and a rigid obedience to the Con-
stitution and laws of the country.
Conservatism if honest, can do no
more.
The vitality and growing pro-
portions of the Democracy in the
Northern and Western States
would of itself dispense with a
third party idea if its agitators
were sincere in their professions.
There need be no apprehensions
of a division in the old party
the disconnected are mere adven-
turers without cohesiveness to Or
ganize, or. tact to marshal a cor.
porals guard.
We believe that it is in the
power of the Democracy to
achieve a victory next Fall over
the two Radical factions, nowith-
standing they will have the adj
vantage of all tho corrupt and
disgraceful appliances of the last
Legislature.
:. Stand to your colors, and you
will have the support and encour
agement of every good citizen,
irrespective Of race.
