The members will be elected for the purpose of re-mo- delling the organic law ; in reference, particularly, to every great interest of social life, embracing the night of voting, the judiciary power, the legislative power, and every power existing under the govern- ment ofafree people. According to all appearances the flood-gates of new doctrines, and startling theo- ries, have now been opened wider and wider, even than the flood-gates of heaven, during Noah’s deluge. Itigproposed, in various quarters, to extend the elec- toral franchise to every thing in the shape of man— without distinction as to color, creed, nation, or birth. This will confer the right of voting on all colored people, and on all foreigners arriving here. Another important proposition is, to elect all judi- cial officers from the highest to the lowest, by vote; and, also, all executive officers; many ot the sub- ordinates of that class being now appointed by the Governor. This will form a great organic change, should it be adopted and confirmed by the people. It is also proposed to deprive the old proprietors of large grants of property, and confer them on occu- pants of farms, according to the wishes of the anti- renters. In another age, and another state of society, theee propositions might seem frighiful, leading to anar- chy, confusion and social desolation ; but in the Present age, the secret powers of steam and magnet- ism, applied to the spread of intelligence among the masses, are gradually working an entire revolution insociety and government in this country, and every other country. We know what we are, and what we have been ; but know not what we may become, under these terrible and magnificent pow- ers, now brought into social action inthe present age. Magnetism may be only the precursor of the millenium. Tux Orgcon Qurstion..—We are now assured that the Oregon question will be got through with in the Senate on Thursday of this week, and the probability seems to be that the notice will pass.— Yet we do not anticipate an early settlement of this question. Accerding to the most judicious opinions of well informed men, it is now thought that Great tions, or muke any new proposition, but will stand still, and allow the American government to take its own course. case, nothing can prevent the Oregon question from mingling in the elections. & bill has been introduced into the House of Re- presentatives to extend the laws of the United States | over that territory.

We have no doubt there is a great deal of discrepancy between the views of Henry Clay and Horace Greeley, and it is a good thing that such discrepancy does exist. This movement is considered a very important one, and had been arranged in the highest quarters, to take place in Washington, New York, and other places, so as to make it a simultaneous movement in various parts of the country. We have some- thing more to say of this thing, as well as of the meeting at Niblo’s; and also of Mr. White, the dia- tinguished orator on the occasion, of whom, by- the-bye, we made some alight mistakes, in saying he was in search of law practice in New York, or more of a politician than he is of a lawyer. The friends of Mr. White assure us that he disclaims being a politician altogether, and that, for the short time he has been in this city his law practice has increased to a remirkable extent, as we can readily supposer from the exhibition of his genius and talents last year in this city. Paxsiwentia Canpipares.—The nomination of Mr. Clay for the next presidency will make the | friends of the other candidates bustle somewhat— those who have been named as whig candidates. Judge McLean and General Scott, must either re- tire from the field, or be brought forward at once. ‘What course their friends in Congregg, and through- out the country will take, seems uncertain. Of the democratic candidates for that high office, the number is legion. James K Polk is one, Silas Wright is another, Gen. Cass is another, Calhoun is another, and Commodore Stewart is another— and, we may add, that as a counterpoise to Gen. Scott, if he should be nominated by the whigs, Gen. Gaines stands in a strong positiun among the independent men and democrats in the South and West. In fact, we believe that the nomination of Londoncounty.

In 1840 and *41 the commercial revulsion of 1837 reached its culminating point, and since there has been a steady and healthy improvewent. The banks have expanded as rapidly as they considered consistent with aldue regard for safety, but have never been ableto con- nect themselves so intimately with the commercial class- es asithey were previous to 1837. The system of eredits throughout the country has experienced a revolution es great as any thing else that passed through the ordeal of | the revulsion. Individual credits have taken the place of bank credits—mere confidence ‘existe”-between men! and man, and bank favors sre less in demand, consider- ing the extent of business transacted, then before known | within the past ten years. We see, by officiel returns, that the loans and discounts of all the banks in the United States, in 1845, were only about one half whet they were in 1837; the issues of the banks have since that time fal- len off at least one-third, and the aggregate banking movement of the country has decreased at least thirty- three and one-third per cent. While this decline in banking business has heen going on, the legitimate bu- siness of the country bas been rapidly improving and in- creasing.
