A Glo,ci,tO Tribute to the Democracy.
From the Rev. 7. D. Talmadge's Friday Nigh
Talk

From the Rev. T. D. Talmadge's Friday Night
Talk.
Washington was never in so good moral
condition as it is now. I saw less dissipa-
ton than at any other time. The Senate
and House of Representatives have in them
more men whose cheek and eye indicate
good habits than l have ever seen before.
In both Houses, the moral tone, judging
from appearance and utterance, is better.
The bad old politicians that sat in the coun-
ellis of the nation are nearly all dead, am
happy to say. They were beyond reforma-
ton, and new race of men have taken pos
session. Many of those old ones died of
delirium tremens, their obituary styling it
exhaustion from public SERVICE the red
monument on the end of their nose giving
way to the white marble shaft that tells their
virtues to the skies. There is as much talent
to-day in congressional circles as there
ever was, Notwithstanding all the
cant heard here on this subject.
in the opposite direction. Once in while
now member murders the Kings English,
but it used to amount to massacre! Many
of the old members used to write the pro-
noun "I' with a small letter dotted, not
through any overwhelming modesty at their
magnifcence, but because they thought it ac-
curate, and it took one of my friends, now
retired stenographer, until after midnight
to quel the riot of adverbs participles, ad-
jectiyes and verbs in many of the har-
rangues of celebrated members; and he
made his fortune by mending broken
speeches. In your Senate and House of
Representatives to-day there are men as pro-
foundly learned, as severely logical as mag
netically eloquent as were ever seen there
since the Government was founded. Let
the comparatively youthful men of our Ma
tional Legislature become as old as their
predecessors, and they will be as famous.

WHY !?

II Correspondent Wh0 Ihi,sks a UmcOn-
stitutio,anl Convention. Unnecessary.
Editor of the DAILY GLOBE:
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 1, 1851 agree with
your article of this morning, that the pro-
position to revise the State convention by a
commission, is as improper as it is unusual.
But why have any general revision? Our
constitution is a modern one, and compares
very fayorably with the constitutions of 9TH
er States. It contains the ordinary glittering
generalities, denominated "bill of rights .
and the customary powers for, and barriers
against legislation.
Now where is the crying necessity for
change? What particular power to be en-
larged? What farther limitation is it
thought necessary to exact? These are the
practical questions to be annexed in consid
ering the necessity of constitutional con
vention.
The only argument have seen advanced
in favor of this measure is that it has been a
long time since we have had convention.
This must be proceed on the theory that a
constitution is a piece of machinery that
wears out with use and needs be tinkered
every year and generally overhauled every
| twenty.
The objection to convention is its ex-
pense. It is no holiday or charity affair.
The cost would not be less than seventy five
Thousand dollars. The annual expense OF
the Legislature with its public printing and
other incidentals is about one hundred thou
sand dollars. Can we expect constitution
al amendment to be much cheaper?
If the necessary amendments are but few,
let them be adopted in the usual and mex
pensive manner of popular vote. This mode
of decision has been about as correct as the
action of convention would be. Seven
amendments we're submitted last year and
we'll decided.
Biennial sessions of the Legislature have
| just been adopted as measure of economy
Let us not spoil this saving by new and un
! needed extravagance.
| Very respectfully, yours,
EUGENE M. WILSON.

The Senate executive session to-day
was as interestil g rs lengthy. The two
cases which excited the most interest, in.
side and outside of the Senate chamber,
were those of Northrop for United States
District Attorney of South Carolina, and
Williamson for Collector IF the Port of
New Orleans. Judge Northrop sat anx.
iously awaiting intelligence as to his fate
in the room Of the Committee on Terri.
tories, Of which Senator Patterson is
chairman. In the room was also Judge
Carpenter, Of South Carolina, the subject
OF equal anxiety, for he had good reason
to hope that the President would send
bis name to the Senate in case of Nor
throp's rejection. Bfr. Packard, with
some of his friends, was In the oilce of
the Secretary of the Senate, eager to
catch the irst intelligence ss to the &C
ton on Williamson's nomination.
Two or three days since one Of the
Cabinet Ministers and O Senator both
asked the President to withdraw the
nomination Of Mr.. Northrop. 1t was
represented TO the President that Judge
Northrop would be simply the mouth
piece of Governor Hampton: that Re-
pnblcans would not be protected; that
il he was confirmed, the Democracy of
South Carolina would know that they
could control the Federal Courts in the
State, and that they would then complete
the work Of eradicating every vestige of
Republicanism that in q very short time
Governor Chamberlain would be indict.
ed, and requisition made on the Gov
crnor of New York for his body, &c.
The President declined to Withdraw the
nomination, and said it was for the Sem
ate now to take action. When Mr.. Nor
throp's nomination was taken up to-day
Mr.. Edmunds, the Chairman of the Ju-
dietary Committee, which had reported
against it, made violent attack on him
as one unfit to be placed in such a posi-
ton; that the Judiciary Committee bad
given the most careful consideration to
the case, and the Senate ought to sustain
its adverse report. The eloauence of
MIr. Edmunds was unavailing, and the
nomination was confirmed by vote OF
81 10 Zo. Messrs. Hoar, Burnside,
Matthews, Conover and Patterson were
the only Republicans who voted for Nor
throp.
Intelligence Of the fact was communi.
Gated almost instantaneously to Judge
Northrop, and he was made happy.
Shortly after the nomination Of Mr.. vii.
Hanson was voted on, and he was rejec.
ted by vote of 81 TO Is. It was not
long before this news was carried to Mr.
Packard. MIR. Kellogg voted for Will
Iiamsoc': confirmation, but made no
other effort in his behalf The affirma.
tive votes wore given by about an equal
number of each political party.
Senator Edmunds was so mroh dig.
gusted with the action of the Sen. con-
firming Northrop that he left, and said i,
was not worth while for the Judiciary
Committee to spend its time in consider
ing the fitness of nominations.
