We were very much suiVie( to see '1C f'low" tng remark in tho Journal of Friday : 'We say distinctly, and we ciiallenge a valid "contradiction, that we advance no new doctrluo "when we assert, that amendments by Legislative "enactment Is tho only mode authorized in tho "Constitution."' This Is a vory quick way of getting put of the dilemma to which our neighbors have got Into, by their manifest distrust of the people.'' A few quo tations from the Constitution and the Declaration of Ri&htsj' which is declared to be part oi 'he Constitution, will show the capital mistake ot the Editors for we cannot believe they intentionally perpetrated the monstrous absurdity. ' ' .' In the Declaration of Rights it is asserted, as fol lows:" h ' ' 1 " Sec, 1.-' That all political power is vested In and derived from the people only. ' Sec. 2. That the oeonle of this State ought to, have the sole and exclusive right of regulating the internal government and police tiiorcot. - : ' Sec. 21. That a frequent recurrence to fund. mesia; principles is abKointely necessary w pre serve the blessings of liberty. ' ; In the fourth article of tho Constitution,' is the following : 1 Ifrt AAnVAft4tn tl.tt tUlAlrtlll Ahull 1A Oftllf.ll by the General Assembly, unless by tho concur rence of two-thirds of all the members of each houso of the General Assembly. . . . .-, Tho assertion thai no Convention of tho people shall be called without, the concurrence of two thirds of all the members of each house of the General Assembly, clearly demonstrates that with such concurrence a Convention may bo called Is the Legislature to define for what purposes the Convention shall be called 1 Nay the creature has no .right to limit the action of the creator. But the objects tor which such Conventions are to be assembled is contemplated in the Constitution Itself, which declares that "a frequtnxl recurrence to .fundamental principles is absolutely necessary to preserve tho blessings of liberty." It Is impos siblo to recur to those fundamental principle), without a Convention, and to deny the Constitu tional right of the people to a Convention, makes tho whole organic law a contemptible humbug. When the Convention is assembled, they express the natural as well as constitutional right of the people !'to have the . solo and exclusive right of regulating the internal government and police" of e State. :i : y .'.. ;';.,- 1 J1- Whert the matter is referred to those who are declared to be the fountain of ALL POWER, it is not competent to say they shull not amend as well as remodel the "organic law the assertion that "amendments by legislative enactment is the only mode authorized in the Constitution" falls to the ground. Our ancestors were not quite so stupid as to create a legislative despotism, that should forever debar them from a recurrence to those fundamental principles, which they declare to bo necewtry to preserve the blessings of liberty." t To meet the" view of the Editors of the Journal, the . Constitution should' read : "A frequent recurrence to fundamental principles is absolutely necossaryjo preserve the blessings of liberty but nevertheless this Constitution forbids .it, leaving to "legislative enactment'.' the submission of scraps and parcels of matter growing out of those principles,"--' Would ."H-. not: be beautiful charming Constitutional Law that 1 The state of the case is, that while's Convention Is authorized by the Constitution to submit - the whole subject to the people, to disposo of as they see proper, no amendment in part is allowed, with out the legislative action provided for In the second section of the ,4th article, which reads. as fol- ,?w"ls.V'- -J' ' ' 'f- ' -' :1 No part of the constitution of th'sState shall be altered unless a bill to niter the same shall have' been read three times in each house of the Gene ral Assembly, and agreed to by three-fifty of the whole nnmber or members ot each house res pec tirely ; nor shall any alteration take place until the bill so agreed to shall have been published six months previous to a new election of members to t lie General Assembly, ir, alter such publication. the alteration proposed by the preceding General Assembly, shall be agreed to in the. first .session thereafter by two-thirds of the whole representa tion In each houso of the General Assembly, after the same, shall have been -rtao tliree tunes on three several days In each, house, ..then tho - said General Assembly shall pre. c ibe a mode by which the amendment or a nun Imunts may be submitted to the qualified voters of the house of commons throughout tho State y and if, upon comparing tho votes given in the whole State, : it shall apear that a majority of the voters have approved there of, then, and not otherwise; the same shall be come a part w 'the constituuou. - .; . - j I The intelligent reader will perceive, 'at once, that the above refers only' to a reform of i' part oniy, ana not to a geoerei rcuoraiiun oriet crea tion of Jaw tho latter being consigned to the'ju risdiction of the Sovereign People, to ' whom all political power la attributed in the 1st section of v . .. . . . . the Declaration ot nignu, ana rrom whom alone it Is derived"., v .,-" , .

During the passage experienced very heavy gales which blow away?; some of the sails, carried away spars, and caused tho vessel to leak so much, as to make it necessary to put into port as early as possible. On mouday morning last wade Charleston Light, it then . blowing heavy from the Northeast, ob tained a pilot and crossed the Ship Bar. In con sequence of the want of canvass, found It impossi ble to beat the schooner up channel, and was compelled to come to an achor near the inner buoy, where the vessel lay for about nine hours, when the chain parted ; let go the other anchor immediately, but before the vessel was brought Up, she had got on the South Breaker, when they were compelled to slip the chain and beach the vessel, for the preservation of the vessel and far go, and the safety of the officers and the crew. During the time the vessel was at anchor, and previously, she had a flag flying at half mast, un ion down and was passed by several steamers in that situation, but could obtain no aid from them.

He admitted tho spiritual supremacy of the Queen over the Established Church of England to the fullest extent that the most ortho dox member of that church could dosire; and he acknowledged the supremacy of the Pope over the Roman Catholic population of this country in spiritual matters ; but as to any other assumption of power over this country' on the part of ' the Pope, or any undue exercise ofhls spiritual power over its population, against any such assumption he felt it to be his duty to protest. -The address was unanimously agreed to. .' j Lord John Russell made a speech In Parliament on the 7th lust., relative to tho Papal Aggression, His lordship dwelt strongly on the animus shown to this country by the Court of Rome, In the dp pointraent of Archbishop Cullcn, the newprlmato, and tho declared enemy of, the Queen's .colleges, The chango from vicars apostolic to bishops with English titles were made without a single intima tion to tho British Government, but as thechango gives the new bishops certain rights over proper? ty for religious purposes, hp proposed as a retalia tory measure, to make all the acts of the bishops in their ofllelal. capacity j illegal,, and to declare anv nroncrtv so beau('athod ' forfeited to' tho Crown';- .' -"''..'
