Hear him—bear the voire of the great dead:— “How the constitution could be best modified so as to eflect the object, (modifying the constitution so as to give the weaker section, in some oue form or | another. a negative on the action of the govera: | meut,) can ony be authoritatively determined by tue | mending power. It may be done ia various Ways. | Among cthers, it might be effected through a re | orgavization of the Executive Devartment, so that its powers, instead eing vested, as they now are, | ina sirgle officer, should be vested in two; to be so | elected as that the two should be constituted the special organs and representatives of the respective sections in the Execuuve Department of the govern- ment, and requiring each to approve all the acta of Congress betore they shall become laws. One might ve charged with the administration of ma.ters connected with the foreign relations of the country, and sve other of sucli as were connected with its do- mestic ostitutions—the selection to be decided by lot. It would thus effect more simply what was in- tended by the origins! provisions of the constitution, in giving to one of the majorit composing the government a decided preponderance in the Electo- ral College, and to the other majurity a still more de- cided influence in the eventual choice, in case the College failed to elect'a President. 1t was intended to effect an equilibrium betweeu #he larger and the smaller States in this department, but which in practice has entirely failed, and by its failure bas done wich to disturv the whole system, aud to bring about the present dangerous state of things. * Indeed, it may be coubted whether the framers of | the cous'ituvion did not commit a great mistake fo constituting @ single, instead of a plural exec | Nay, it may even be doubted whether « single chief Mag)strate, invested with all the powers proper.y ap pertaining tw the utive department of the gover- Ment—as is the President—ie compatible with the permanence of a populous governmen , especially in @ wealthy and popular community, with a large reve | nue and @ numerous body of officers and em- ployes; certain 1s is that there is no instance of a popular geveroment so constituted which has long | endured. Even ours, thas far furnishes no evidence in i's favor, and nota little against it; for to it the present disturbed and dangerous state of things which threatens the country with monarcy or dis union, may be justly attrinuted. On the other hand, the two most distinguished constitutional govern- ments of antiquity, both in respect to permanence and power, liad a doual executive. | refer to those of Sparta aud of Rome. The former had two here- ditary, and the latter two elective chief magistrate: It is true thas Eogland—from which ours, in shi respect, is copied—has a single hereditary head of the executive department of her government; but it is not less true that she bas had many and arduous struggles to prevent her chief magistaate from be- eoming absolute; and that, to guard against it effec- tually, she was finally compelled to divest him, sub- | stanually, of the power of adwinister‘ng the govern- ment, by transferring it practically to a cabiuet of Fesponsible micisters, who, by established custom, cannot hold cffiee unless supported by a majority of the two houses of Parliamens. She has thus avoided the daoger of the chief magistrate becoming abso- Jute, and contrived to unite substantially a single with apa executive, in constituting that depart- ment of her government. We nave no such guard, and can have none such without an entire change in the character of our government; and her example of course furnishes no evidence in favor of a single chief magistrate in a popular form of govern nent like ours, while the examples of former times, and < own thus far, furnish strong evidence agaiast “ But it is objected that a plural executive necessa- rily leads to intrigue and discord amoug its members, and that it is incousistent with prompt and efficient action. This may be true when they are-all elected by the same constituency; acd may be a good reason when tuis is the case, for preferring a siagle execu- tive, wiih all its objections to a plural executive. But the case is very different when they are elected by different constituencies, having conflicting aud hostile interests, as woald be the fact in the case under consideration. Here the two would have to | act concuringly in approving the acta of Congress, | and separately iu the sphere of their respective de- | ents. ‘The effect io the latter case would be to Tetain sli the advantages of a single execative, ag far as the administration of the laws was concerned; and in the former to insure harmony and concord | between the two sectivos, ad through them in the government; for asno act of Congress could be- come a Jaw without the assent of the chief magis | trates repreventing both sections, each, in the eles: | tions, would choose the candidate who, in additiva to being faithful to its interesty, would best command the esteem and contidence of the other section. And thus the Presidential election, instead of dividing the’ Union into hostile geographical parties, the stronger struggling to enlarge its powers, and the weaker to detend its rigat+—as is now the case — would become the means of restoring harmony and concerd to the country and the government. It would make the Union a union in trath—a bond of mutual affection and brotherhood—and not a mere connection used by the stronger as the instrament of | dominion and agerandizement, and submitted to by | the weaker only from the lingering remains of former attachment, and the fading hope of being | able to restore the covernment to which it was orizi- nally intended to be a blessing to all. Sach is the disease, aud such is the character of the ouly reme dy which can reach it. There remains to be con- dered the practical question—Shall it be applied? Bhall the culy power which can apply it be invaked for the purpose ? “The responsibility of answering this solemn ques tion rests on the States comprising the stronger section. Those of the weaker are ina minority, both of the States and of population; and ef con- sequence, in every depariment of the government. They, then, cannot be responsible for an act which Tequires the concurrence of two-thirds of both houses of Congress, or of two thirds of the States to originate, and three-fourths of the latter te consum- mate. With such difficulties in their way, the States of the weaker section can de nething, how- ever disposed to save the Union and the govern ment, without the aid and co-operation of the States composing the stronger section ; but with their aid and eooperation both may be saved. On the latter, therefore, rest the re- mnsibility of invoking the high power which can ne apply the eee and if they fail to do so, ef all the consequences which may follow.” T have inseveral places alluded to Mr. Calhona great anxiety about his work on the goverameat tind the mode of ite being published. He eared nothing about its pecuniary valae. He would have been horror struck at the bare possibility that the patriotism apd love of bis own Soath which made him distate this great work, should have been placed in the money market. So far from that, he would bave given a copy every citiseo, North aad South, if he coula have dove it. Afier his death these manuscripts went South. I came North. I waited in vain for the publicadon.

Clemson, son-in-law of Mr. Calhoun, re- tured from Earope, where he had been absent with his wife (Anna Calhoun,) and I believe he took the matter in hand. At any rate, my friend Richard K. Crallé, who was editing the work, came North and made an arrangement with the book publishers, Appleton & Co: They are now publishing the works of Mr. Calhoun, and have published to the fourth volume. The first volume is entirely new, and was prepared by Mr. Calhoun before his death. The remaining volumes consist of speeches, letters, despatches, reports, &c. ‘A Disquisition on Government, and a Discourse on the Constitution ard Government of the United States,” are both em- traced in the first volume of Appletoa’s edition. ‘There were three great documents emanated from him in 1849 and 1850. One was the above. An- other was “the Address to the People of the South,” in June, 1849; and his last speech in the Senate in March, 1850. Having been his secretary and written from his dictation the documents ailuded to, our w- sertion cannot be contradicted, although an ex Se- nator of the United States has had the audacity and impudence to publicly as-ert that he has re- ceived later papers from Mr. Calhoun, which we felt obliged to come out in our own organ, The Pick, and most distinctly repudiate, which we did ia the following characteristic article. A friend asked us “What do you thimk of NP, Tailmasge's letter to thet woman about Jche © Calbous!’ “Teink | I thiok it rank blvephemy.

Abraham W. Venables, then a mem- | ber of the United States House of Representatives, a | man without fear and without reproach, said ‘ that the Congress of the United States was the most eorrupt body of men in the world, and would sell any law for money.” It appears that in the present House of Representatives there are 154 new nem bers, who as yet are, like Cyesar’s wife, above suspicion. But should the result of the ac’s of these direct representatives of ‘ the masses’’ prove that they are mercenary, or only shopkeepers in disguise, it is direct evidence that they have broaght the boasted representative system to a divastrous upset, and have compelled society and the tax payers to protect themselves by creatlag some new form of goverpment. You cannot be pluudered of the immortal merit ot | having, for the jast sixteen years, defended the vala- able institution of agricultural labor with negro | slaves from the copstaut ferocious attacks of hired | abvlitionista located witbia the limita of the United | States, and representing the same band of mercena- | ries existing in rave hired by the European governments to make the fifteen slave States dupli- cate artificial deserts with toe island of Jamaica. Every Southern U Senet day for your heroic service, owes you an irredee! le debt of gratitude, which it is time they commenced paring off, with interest; otherwise, must confess they are beneath your consideration for the fature. Annually the federal treasury collects not{leas than thirty million dollars taxes from the fifteen slave- holding States; should their ninety members of the House of Represeotatives, aud thirty Senators, not forthwith protest against ove cent of the tederal taxes being distributed to abolitiovists by the executive branch of the United States, their masters, (called their constituents,) should forthwith assemble in every Congressional district; each select three faithful and vigilant delegates to assemble at the city of Washington by first March next, with | authority to protest and annul the votes in Congress of their said members, aud to compel their imme- diate resignation of their seats in Cougress, Should | the primary voters not adopt at once this conserva- tive ste preserve the slave-helding institutions from being sold and transferred by its seotinels ia | Congress, over to the British and American aboli- tionists, besides hireing them with the federal taxes to produce this catastrophe t the thirty one States, | of the emancipativa of the 3,400,000 negro slaves, the 2,000 000 voters in the free Staves oe the Jabor- ing and producing class who have resisted and are resolved to resist aboli‘ion at the peril of their lives must withéraw from ali future concert with the voters in the slave States, on the ground that they are eitber in favor of the works of the abolitionists, or that they are toogowardly and ignorant to punish at once the want of Tidelity of their representatives in Congress. If the one hundred and fifty-four new members of the House, united with the balance of the eighty members of the “ spoilstaking band” of the past Congress, (already described by Mr. Vena- ble,) the commot sense of the 3,300,000 primary voters may make au gximple of them from & Tarpei: Iu the first inaugural of President Jackson, in 1829, be asserted that the militia would preserve the federal government as long as it was worth presere- ing; and the same glorious pa‘riot farther declared in A. D. 1582, that ‘the Ucion must aud shall de pre- rerved.”” He reruembered that it was the New York Inilitiamen who locked into the boots of the British government spy, Audre, and by that business ac ascertained the treason of the governor of West Poin —a Connecticut Yankee, callei Brigadier-General Benedict Arnold! The next lament from the resi- derts of our cities and villages will atise from their having to ea not less than three dollars for a bushel of wheat for their own consomption, entirely owin, to the diminishing production of it in the Unite States and the increase of its consumption: already it is not less than bee million bushels per month — say one hundred millions per yoar; the United States census proves its production per year does not ex- ceed, deducting seed, one hundred million busi T year. Since the Ist of August last fifty million ushels have been consumed, and fifveen million bushels of wheat aud flour have heen exported; ao that the remainivg stock is equal to thirty-five mil- lion bushels. If not another grain of wheat is e: ported to Europe fer the next six months our preseat ttock will be eaten up by the first of May, 1854. PuvrawcH HaxaL. Soclety and Politics 1n Washington. XO.

Your recent onslaught oa General Pierce is enjoy- ed by many people here who bardly dare say pub- licly that their souls are their own. Even the un- equalled adhesiveness and party fidelity of the demo- crats of New Hamoshire do not save Genera] Pierce from many half-smothered execra‘ions. People who thought he would be ‘‘more of a man” when once installed as President, have found him just about the “same cld sixpence” still. | Onr State election comes off the fourth day of next | month. Nathaniel B. Baker is the democratic can: | didate for Governor. Mr. Baker's relations to the | administration are a little peculiar. He was regard- | ed as the very head of Pierce’s support in this State. | It was natarally supposed that he would have some | influence with the General after he became Presi- | dent. Mr. Baker recommended numerous gentlemen whom he thought deserving of favors. It is under- | stood, however, that his rec mmendations have not had the weight with the President which was antici- | pated; indeed, that they have been atmost, it not | entirely, disregarded. It is evident that the Presi- | dent thinks he has a right to treat his friends as he choosee, and that he recognises no such thing as reciprocity of obligation, unless, to use the language of one who knows him well, “ there is some strong outside pressure to keep him straight.” | Such out Pressure might, in one instance, be | based on a “‘ scarlet letter,” in another on somethi else. But his general idea seems to be that the daty | of his friends is always to boost him up, and that he fulfils his part in simply being boosted, Stragge as it may seem, some of his supvorters—so1 f the chief of them too—in this neighoorhood, are not quite | satisfied with this view of ioiea: and think the Pre- ident has grown deaf to familiar voices quite too | fast since he went to Washington. | But they are slow to manifest their dissatisfaction.

The Concord democrats have already determined | that_in or¢er to show General Pierce that the friend | whom he valued so highly at home, but whonr he forgot so soon after entering the White House, is mere highly esteemed than himself, they will give Mr. Baker a larger majority than General Pieros Te. ceived in his own town in the vote for President. C, Our Maine Correspondence Bangor, Me., Jan. 28, 1854. The Course of the President in 1848. The Washington Union has at this eleventh hour taken up the cudgels in favor of the President and his course daring the campaign of 1848. The letters of Judge Waterbury and Mr. Cochrane, are (with | due respect for those gentlemen) gammon, as long asthe principal letter is not prodaced. How easy to print the letter and put down the “slanderers of the President.” But, (and that is the trouble,) the letter would only confirm the Hrraxp’s statement. The letter is now in existence, in the possession of an eminent Jegal gentleman of New York. Let us | have the letter by all means. The universal Yankee nation are great readers, they can jadge whether the fact be as alleged, or not. In the mean time I propound to the Union several questions, which I ‘very much wish to have answered, but which, (I also doubt,) it will not answer. Will the Union be kind enough to give usa ltttle information of the whereabouts o! so ardent, active, and influential a politician as General Pierce daring the campaign of | 1848? Was he in favor of the election of General Cass to the Presidency, or not? Did he utter one word, publicly or privately, in his favor? If not, why? Please give the reason ! The fact is, it was well known in New Hamp- tbire, in 1848, that Gen Pierce sympathised with the barnbarners of New York ; asd that he did not 80 much as say ® word or lift a finger in favor of Mr. Cass. The writer was one of a commiitee to invite Gen. Pierce to aédress a grand Cass and Butler meeting in a New England city, on the fourth of July, 1848 The committee forwarded him a letter of invitation. He replied, in substance, that he bad taken no in the election, and therefore should not attend. The committee were more successful in other q Ex-Gov. Hill attended, by invitation. He was asked : “What was the matter with Gen Pierce ?”’ He replied that “it was strongly snepected that Mr. Pierce was a Van Buren man.” I give this only as | an incident to show how he was regarded by politi- | cians in his own State at that time. Will the Onion please attend to this matter? Give us the time when, and place where. Mons Avon. Newspaper Views. A KEBRA*KA MEETING AT OFE4LIN, 0110.
