eays : " The Soldiers' Law friends in ihe Legiekture are awfully indiguant. If the r.omrrtiiti-Tig judicinl eouvention fhould beeomprised of tha present Republican Legislature, Ciiiustiancy will je laid out. Gov. Blair is already talked of to succeed Judge C." We hear the same talk in our streets, and the [iepubücan theory seema to be thnt coustitulion and laws are to be disregard ed at the behest of party, and tbat the higheat courl of the State must declare on uuconstitiitioiial law binding and in force whfjü the interests or oxpression of the party in power shall bo dictate. It seerns to be the opinión of the majority, ■ is openly declarad by soraa of them, " tbat tha Supreme Court is not worth a d 1) il it can not stistain the bi1" dieie' voting law, or iny other kw enaoted for the especial benoíit of the party." Fortúnate it is for the Stnte tbat the Judge af the Supremo Court do' uot yet subscribe to mucli doctrine. tPS? On Tueeday, the House adoptci tbe Senate resolution of tho last session, amending the Constituí ion of tbe Uuiled States, so as to abo!iih slavery in all (if tho Sta' os, and prohibit its future introduc'ii'n or existence under State laws.

Baldwin, of the 5th district, Theso demoorats tnok tbe posjtion tbt tbe leaders of tho Snut'iern Confederacy had, to the !ast, repudiated all oifeis of a return 10 the Union uoder the Con-ititution, and avowed thnir intoDtion ofsaerificing glavery to procure tboir indepeodenee, and that it was botter to du:ckuiate tbeui by dispositig of tbe iustitution. The ameudment has to be ratrsfit-d by the Legiilature of three fourtha of the States before it will becnma a part of the ovganiu 1 aw. JC2" The President's re-constniuted Stites are "out in the cold," the House hoving vuti'd that Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabara a, Míssissippi, Loufeiana.Arkr anuas, and Tennessee, are not ehtitled to representation iu the electoral ooDage, and that no electoral votes from those States will be reeeivjd or counted. - Why then does the House ppend time ín coosidering the caaes of those claiin ing fleats es Representativesírom Loukiann, etc. If entiíled to representaron in tho Sonate and Houso, they are cer tainly entitled to vote for President aud Vice President. JP5C" A corrospondení of the Detroit Ti ibune find one feature to rvjoice over in tho dceision of tho Supreine Court, and that is, it roachcs as he imagines the townnhtpa of Pontiao, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, &c, &c, which held their polis in tl'.e citics of tho same nime. He imagines it ;iffeets Trjeat, of Pontiao, iiiember of the House, and "nereral other cas s."
