It is a motadle fact that the Senate, which is the representative of population in our system, should be far leas liberal in ite couduct than the House, which is composed of the represeatatives of cor tions. Tn the whig times the Senate was used to Kill everything of a liberal character that came from the other branch, and it is doiag the same thing unier the American ascendancy, When the coalition were in power, ths Semate was the radical branch, and thea the House amused itself with butchering the Senate's pet measures’ A supplementary act has been passed to that propos- img amendments to the constitution, to grt rid of the ongequence of an infproper use of language in the lat- ter.

Some of the whig pa- pers are growling over those articles which give to the people the election of a large mumber of officérs now chosen by the Legislature, or appointed by the Governor; but no one cares for their growling, their day being over. The subject excites very little atteation, and the vote is not expected te be large. The contrast is very strarge between the interest that was taken ia the question of constitutional reform in 1853, and tha aj thy that now exists concerning it. If our Irish citizens could only pluck up courage, an@ come out on the con. eervative side, as they aid then, witn the nogative votes all wet with bely water, perhaps they could succeed in stemming the trde of radicalism. The singular love for conservative doctrines and practices which they evince at home, renders it peculiarly their duty to fight against ajl radicals here. But one Fontensy, I suppose, is as much as can be expected from that race in one age. The old race course at Cambridge has ceased to exist. Those who knew it once so well are soon to know it no more forever. Rowdyism has been deprived of one of its most pleasant places, and the slowest of mortals— nothing Jess than respectable people—are to vogetate where once the fastest of men used to “go the pace’’ most beautifully.
