J The powers of the Government are then di. vided into three departments legislative, ex ecutive, and judicial. f. The article in relation tto the legislative de partment is not essentially different from the Constitutions of the several Slates. Members are required to be free; wjiite male citizens of the United States, and to take an oath to sup port the Constitution thereof. The first Sen- j ate is to consist of seventeen members, and the j HoTise of thirty. five members. In the Executive Department provision is made for the election of Governor. LieMlenant Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor of Pub. lie Accounts, and Treasurer. 7The judicial power is vested in a Supreme Court and such inferior tribunals as the 'Legislature shall es tablish. A Chief Justice and two Associates compose the Supreme Court. t The fifth article provides for the election of all the officers named in the Constitution, on j the Monday of May, la!, and for a vote for j nragainst the adoption ofthe Constitution, " and j if a majority of all the; legal: votes shall be in favor its adoption, the same shall tal$e effect er said election.

It has been apparent for some months that, at the ensuing session of Congress, the administration of General Taylor, and especially the public acts of the Secretary of btate, are to receive scant justice at the hands of the opposition.

We maintain that in both of these in stances the President and bis Cabinet were not only right in their action, under the law of the United States, but that they were right under the acknowledged law of nations, and that both Spain and Den mark wonld have been justified in com plaining of bad failh on the part of this no occasion to avail itself pf ,a like pritl country, and perhaps of resorting to some- iPp.p ' - ' thing more stringent than complaints, had . There are tbese measures not been adopted ; and that these acts afford no reasonable pre tence on which to charge the President and his Cabinet with insensibility to the sufferings of the Cubans, or hostility to the enorts of the Germans. People who are not totally blinded by political prejudice, -cannot but be satisfied that the Government was possessed of in formation which satisfied them that The steamor United States was to be employ ed as a vessel of war by the Prussian Go vernment against Denmark. Ihe evi dence of this, as disclosed in the official correspondence, is full and conclusive, i and the argument of Baron Roene to cloak this intention would not deceive or con vince a school boy of the second form. The ingenious sophistry of the Prussian Minister was. fortunately for his reputa- ; tion, confined to his diplomatic notes. He and his associates took no pains to con- i ceal the fact that the steamer was to hold her character as an American vessel only so long as it would suffice to entitle her to clear from New York, and her Prus sian flag was ostentatiously displayed on her quarter deck as what was to be her ; national emblem so soon as she had pass- ed Sandy Hook. Friends congratulated the " passengers" on their prospect of hon ! or and renown in the service of the Prus sian Government, and sad havoc in the j navy of Denmark was predicted from the i power, of the steamer and the prowess of her Americo Prussian ollicers. ii i.npc tho vnnnpnt nt Ihp 1 1 ncr nt . v, .

We have not : had the good fortune to meet in the Dem i ocratic presses, with anv commendation some exceptions. A nation having a com- merce with one belligerent and not with the other may continue it in its ordinarf . .. i cnanneis, anu not violate its neutral obit gations ; and it may be so: situated local ly that one of the belligerents may, with its forces, under certain rules, pass through its territory, when the other would? have certain restrictions -which are imffcosed on alL neutrals. Thei trade in all commodities peculiarly useful in war is agreed by all authors to he a con traband trade, and to be in violation o neutrality.- The right of "searching neu tral vessels and of seizing contraband goods is maintained, and, nations at war with each other may pfevent neutrals from supplying their enemies with contra band goods. We are aware that tit ! "right of search" has been questioned ty our most eminent statesmen, but the lavr as we have stated it, is recognised genep ; ally by nations. It is not to be denied j for an instant that fitting out ah armed vessel for one of two belligerents is in is olation of these principles. ;.! So also with the Cuban expedition; , No nation has a right to interfere in ibe Government of another State. It cannot ; be asked how the Government of lh6 Uni- ' ted States interferes wilh the. Government, of Spain, when if it is acknowledged that her territory is used as a place of rrndci" vous for those who would assail her ah and friend. Among the good andjusaS' able causes of war enumerated by Yattd is "to prolect the country from impenelor danger and if the United States isxsrd to raise an armed force, military or narii for the purpose of assisting a rebellioui province, the injured nation is justified a declaring this to be. a good cause for w-fT.
