JJpon this feature of the Constitution of

for a moment. To be eligible to the

sarted, the Senate is peculiarly, cham?

should cautiously guard every encroach

What else is to protect us from the dan

Tbe principle that all men are by na

But we want no change in this respect,
nor any at the present time, because we
desire not to' see continual tampering with
the Constitution; which, as it is the corner
stone of all law, so ought it to be fixed and
permanent; and, according as it4 is well or
iji ordered, it will tend in the first degree
to promote tne happiness or misery of the

safely into the Gubernatorial Chair. Per
haps it may. Perhaps again it may not;
that the people will discern the purely
demagogical nature of the trick, and not
even give thanks to the man who has so
suddenly found out, and takes such pains
to inform them of it, that they are greatly
wronged in a Constitutional provision.
But why does Air. Reid read no other

Why does he pot contend for a change
in that part of it which requires that a
Senator shall own three hundred acres of

that a Commoner shall own one hundred

We do not bejieve that any great harm
would result to the State in case the pro

that all who may now vote for Commons

A Curiosity. A nun iii Portage coun

ting barrel staves from a white oak tree
which was perfectly ound, and after he
had worked up twenty or twenty-five feet
from the butt end, discovered what he
uppoed to be a knnl, at least eight inches
from the outside; but upon opening it,
found it lo contain a middling sized toad,
which had remained in this place until
there had grown eight inches or limber
over him. .

The account state, when the little custn.

hopped a hort distance, at firt, until he
reached a puddle of water, where he took
leave of hi deliverer and left him to his
