Tlukcring tho Constitution. Prom the Xf. Y. Tribune. President Jobuson, wearied of lIa reverence for the Constitutidu as framed bjr onr fore fathers, by the (ail are of the recent Demo cratic Convention to nominate the "actual choice ef the people," has thrown the weight of his vast iullBeuoe with Congress in favor of four new amendments of the Constitution, all apparently deaigiled for the better protection vliice-feekers. A mere amendment like the 14th, which secures only the liberty of four millions of people, whose race were slaves when the Constitution was adopted, and the Eeaoe of forty millions of people who have een couvulatd wilh civil war to settle the condition of this race, seems to Trepidant Johnson to display- a dangerous irreverence for the infallible peilectiou of our charter of liberties, But the failure of the Democratic Convention to nominate him, aud the fact that Le is practically deprived of the privilege of running its a candidate, while his ardeut ad mirers the people are "by the manipulations of the Convention" debarred from voting for the man of their choioe, couviucehiin that the Constitution is imperfect in re&pect to the liiode of electing a President. The end of his term of ollioe now, ala! ap proaching all too speedily for the welfare of the country admonishes him that the Presi dent's term of ollice ought to be six years in stead of four. The patriotic heart of the President is grieved wiihiu him at the thought of the disasters which may overtake the couu try for want of two years more of his invalu able Chief Magistracy. This suggests his second amendment, making the Presidential term fcix yeaiB. His narrow eecnpe from conviction and re moval on his Impeachment trial, and the happy thought how impossible and needless Would be all efforts to remove any President, if he were to be succeeded by thoe very mem bers of the Cabinet appointed by himself, who advised the acts for which he was impeached, have suggested the third amendment. It pur poses to prevent all future impeachments of a President, by providing that, in the event of his removal, he will be succeeded by the mem bers of his Cabinet, beginning with the Secre tary of State aud ending with the Attorney General. The President omits to state whether members of the Cabinet pro tern, would ba in cluded in the order ot succession; but as such a measure would aid the President in desig nating his successor, it would doubtless add so much to the value of impeachment, as a po litical remedy for m srule, that the President would be pleased to have Congress include all Cabinet olliuers ro tern. As Mr. Johnson finis, on a preliminary can vass of the Legislature of Tennessee, that that body is indisposed to elect him to the Senate of the United States, he is so deeply Sensible of the mischief wrought by this inadvertence, not to say criminal oveisigut, on the part of the f rain era of the Coustiuuion, that he recom mends that the Senators, like the President, Bhall be chosen by the people. His last amendment provides that tun J udges of the Supreme Court shall hold for twelve years instead of for life. The most importaut of these purports to provide for the election of a President directly by the people, and aims to abolish nomi na tions by party conventions. But we doubt if the means proposed would tend in the slightest degree to accomplish the end sought. Party nominations originate in the determination of each party aud of all voters not to throw away their votes by scattering them on txeuty can didates, but to make them tell on the result by concentrating nil that are of one political faith on the one candidate who best represents that faith, and will poll most votes in tavjr of it at the polls. It is based on the truth tb.it all important political questions may be best decided by the people on a square issue to Which there can be only two parties. ShUl we extend slavery? shall we subdue i he Rebellion ? Bhall we abolish slavery f shall we &rant uni versal suffrage ? These are the great square issues on which the people want to vote, and on which they can vote in two parties, oue party voting substantially no and the other yes. The great mass of voters care more for the success of their party on these great issues than what individual may be selected to repre sent them. So long as these motives prepon derate there will be the same temptation to concentrate votes on one candidate, the same increased chance of electing the nominee of a national convention over any and all inde pendent candidates, and therefore the same certainty that two or three national conven tions will meet and nominate their candidates, and that the whole people will vote for them, after Mr. Johnson's amendment had been adopted as before. He proposes that, insteal of the people of each State en misse votiup; for electors on a general ticket, the State shall be divided into as many districts as it is entitled to electoral votes, aud that the people of eaoh district shall choose, not one elector, but oue vote i. e., for whatsoever candidate for Pre sident or Vice-President the highest number Of popular votes in a dii-tnut shall be given one electoral vote shall be counted on behalf of that district for President or Vice-Presi dent. The President would still ba elected, not by the vot-s of the people directly, nor yet by the solid votes of States a3 now, but by the votes of districts, of which each male would have as ninny as it now has of electoral votes.. This would divide the votes of States, so that oue district, comprising certain counties in a htate, might vote for the Republican candid ite. and other counties in the same State for the Democratic Put it would not be a direct vote by the people for in a direct popular vote every man's vote must be counted to determine the final result; but in Mr. Johnson's plan only the votes of electo ral districts are counted, and those who voted with the minority in any district are not tounted at all. It would be possible, there fore, that the majority of popular votes might be lor one candidate, aud the majority of dis tricts, not only in each State but iu all the States, might lie for another candidate. This might deleat the popular v. ill as manifestly and as often as the present system. For Instance, the State of New York is now bal anced very evenly between the two parties, by the fact that tue enormous Demooratio ma jority in the city i3 applied to ollset the Re publican majorities in the. rural districts. Un der Mr. Johnson's amendment, 100,000 Demo cratic majority iu New York city would be no better than 10,000 or 1000, so loug as each elec toral district were carried. So, though the Whole people in a State or section should vote one ticket, it would avail just as much and no more than a bare majoiity in each electoral d la titat of that State or Bection. It is singular that po ancient an advocate of State Rights as the President should propose a plan which would merge the identity of Htatesiu all Presidential elections. Put it is obvious that each political party would be as anxious to effect a National nomination, which would concentrate on one candidute the votes of all the Congressional districts it could carry, as it now is to concen trate on oue euuiuave iue . vi all the Btates it can carry. Nominations wonld, there fore, be made by national conventions of either party, as now. The people would concentrate on these nominations as now; the votes of the minority in each electoral district would be lost in the count, as now the votes of the mi nority in each state are lost: the popular vote might be cast for another than the oaudidate elected, Just as now; and the only effeot of the change would be to merge the States and elect the President by electoral districts. An inconvenience attending the plan would be that the electoral districts would not corre spond to any political division of the State now existing. It would require two more districts in each State than the number of Congres sional districts, so as to add one eleotoral dis tiict for each Senator. The electoral district would be just near enough to the Congressional to create confusion. To carry out the plan would require a board of auditors an I eutire cflieial machinery for each electoral district which do not now exist. A3 to the proposi tion that the President shall be elected for Bix years instead of four, reluctant as the Ameri can people feel to part with the services of President Jolnihou alter so short and glorious an administration, we cannot conceive that they will ever again have "showered down npon them" a Presidential blessing which they will seriously yearn to retain for more than four years. If they should, their yearn ings may doubtless be satisfied by re-electing him for four year3 more. The most illustri ous precedent relative to a six years' term is that afforded by the Rebel Confederacy, which elected Jeff. Davis for that term, and fouul it rather longer than they would have wished. The amendment requiring that on impeach ment and removal of the President, he shall appoint a successor for devolviog the succes sion on the members of his Cabinet means no less may not have been intended as a joke, but it is nearer approximation to humor than the President has ever before perpetrated. 1 he thought of impeaching JoUusou to have him succeeded by fcevard, or removing uu- chanan to get Howell Cobb, or ousting Franklm Pierce to put in Jefferson Davis, is amusing. The election ot United States Sena tors by the people instead of by the Legisla ture would, we think, be no improvement on the present system. It would practically de volve the actual selection on the State Conven tions of the respective parties, and we doubt if any higher grade of Senators would be chosen by these two political Conven'ious than are now chosen by tho Legislature. The change would be for the worse. Appointing the Judges of the United States Supreme Court for twelve years, instead ot lor Jite, would bring them more under the control of the President, aud would lessen their independence. It would place the two judges of the Supreme Court whose terms would expire during the term of auy President more under his control than the welfare of the conutrv demands. On the whole, therefore, we see many more evidences of wisdom iu the Constitution as our fathers framed it than iu any improvements Mr. John son would be likely to make in it. We have not been in the habit of regarding the Consti tution Witli letisu worship. e believe it will perpetuallv grow, and change, aud be renewed. And like all living things, when it ceaso3 to grow it will have begun to die. Bat Mr. Johnson's amendments are cm 1e and bungling in their conception, and though he claims that his meditations upon them have been long, they never could have been broad or deep. HoTf tho I'opublk'iuis Produced the "Draft liiols." From the N. Y. World. Mayor Opdvke, iu the proclamation which he isued ou the third day of the great riot. used this lauguage: "It would not have iu teriupted your peace for a day, but for the temporary absence of all our organized local militia." How came the militia to be absent? It was in consequence of a call by the Federal Gov ernment for immediate aid in repelling the Rebel invasion of Pennsylvania, and of the promptitude, zeal, aud energy with which Governor Seymour responded to the call, send ing not only all our organized local troop, but others which were organized ou the spur of the occasion. The Tribune, of Monday, was const i ained to acknowledge that Governor Seymour did his whole duty in that alarming emergency. We quote its lauguage: In June, Utnerul Lee evariicj. tiyaflink maicu, tue Aimyol lno Fotoumc, wulou ouu iroiilert and stood ready to light liltn on ttie ltippahaunock invaded Maryland ami I'euu B.vivaijla. The lnoveiuout as Luc's oltl Jlal re port virtually couleaes was not defensible) on luilitm y, uor ou olhtr than political grounds. Tue ItehelH lie ped to win a victory ou Nortnern soil, tu d itieicby to stimulate tlielr .Nortnern fiit-udN to declare opeuly In their luvor, end tnus, ly paralyzing tue Uulon Government, end the conlebl lu triumph. The 1'iesldeul, Jti'.lly ahuimd and apprehensive, called ur-g-liuy on lUe Governors of the Northern Httes lor militia. Governor Seymour promptly re sponded, hy sending all tne uuliormed aud dis ciplined mlllliuof our city, wuli at least oue regiment orpanl.ed lor tue oooaslon. The Pre sident and his War Hocretary tlianked hi in for so doing. And, If tne forced thus teut were ho luunugt d thai they did not eel within gunshot of an enemy, and ni)he contributed to the i.lorion.i lesjujtoi the Geltbur btruggle, the luult was not Uovcruor Huymuur'd nor their own. "Now, then, having given Governor Symour full credit Jor heudiug away our organized int. lit in. let us see wlMt wun (Pme la lis absence by hinihelf and his 'Xrleuda.'" Yes; let us see what was done, not only by Governor Seymour, but by the Republican Administration at, Wanhiugtou, when New Yoik had generously stripped herself of all her menus of preserving local order. Pru dence aud gratitude alike dictated that the Fedeial authorities t-hould do nothing during the absence of our militia calculated to kiadle the iullauitnable passions of the lower orders of a vast eity. It was well known to the Ai- xninist ration that the com-oription was odious, and no attempt should have been made to en force it until alter the return of our local trenps. A few weeks' delay would have made no real dill'ereuee to the Governmunt; and the fact that our militia regiments were then serv ing at the seat ot war might iu equity have been accepted as a temporary substitute for dratted men. But no I it was in that critical coijuncture, it was when the city was thus stiipped aud defenseless, that the Secretary of War thotigl.t lit to fling in firebrands, by enforcing, jitnt iu that dangerous crisis, the odious conscription by which poor men were to le dragged away from their weeping families, while the lieu were to be excused ai-d let oil' on the payment of $300. It was reckless tyrauny, it was fiendish mad ness, to select such a moment for enforcing the uratt. Justice, prudence, fairness, gratitude, common sense, all forbade this rash experi ment ou the inllammable temper of tho multi tude, when their passions were so combustible and the means of repression had been gene rously given away at the urgent call of the Government. The riots were thus the direct consequence of thankless insolence and blun dering tyranny at Washington. The riots being thus wantonly brought ou by the Republican admiuistratiou. what part did Goverior Seymour act in their suppression? On the next day after their outbreak he has to the city. On his arrival he found a raging, surging mob thronging the City Hall Park, and the first thing Le did was to make them a speech, dissuading them from violence, lie got their attention iu the same way that Arch biehop iiobiio io wr tiire aya aiiervrards got their attention for a similar purpose by making Lis approaches iu a friendly, persua sive tone. It was the method which would have been adopted by any man of tact aui good Pease who did not deliberately intend to lash the mob Into ungovernable fury. Aud a set of graceless republican oalumniators howled against that speech as it its purpose had been to encourage the violence it tried to restrain 1 So much for republic tu honesty au I candor. On the same day with that Judioious speech, the very day of his arrival, Governor Sey mour issued three documents with his official signature. i ne of these documents was a military call, countersigned by the Inspotor-General of the Slate, requesting aU.citueus to assemble at some of the numerous designated places aud be enrolled under the direction of officers sta tioned at those places it named in the call. Another of those documents was the follow ing address to the people of the city: " To the People of the Uit.v of tfew Ytrk: "A riotous demonstration in your city, orlstU n ft 1 1 1 1 k In opposition lo tne conscription of e.l cllerH for the military service of tun Untied Slnten, has swelled into vanl proportion dlreotlDK lis fury nnnlnnL ihe properly and lives of peaceful citizens.

"Hobatio Hk y mo uk, Governor. 'New York, July 11, 1SU3." The other doenmett issued on the day of his arrival was the following proclamation declar ing the city and county in a state of insurrec tion: ' HViererr, It. is mentft st t.hflfc tho combina tions for mreible retlMance lo lue laws of the 8'nte of New Yors, ai d to the exenutlou l civil uml ci liiiiutil proae.-s, exist in tue cliy and couuly of New York, wnereby the peace aud afeiy of the city, und the lives aud properly of Its inhabitants are endunen-d; aud " Whereas, Tne power of the said cltv and county lias been exerted, and Is not sutlicient to enble the oiilcers of the Ksld cliy ami county to uiHlntnlu the laws of the Hi ale, aud execute the Ips51 piocesB of lis ofth ers; aud, "Whereas, Application has oeeu made to me by tne Sherlll of the city aud couuly of New York to declare the said city and county lu b) luas'ateof insurrection; "Now therelore I, JloratloSeyraonr, Governor of the Hlale oi Ne.v York, aud Commander lu Chlfct of the foiceHof the same, do In Its name and by Its authority, issue mis proclamation, iu accordance wl'b toe siatuie iusncU eases made and provided, and do hereby declare tne city and county of New York lo be iu a slate of Insurrection, and give notice to all per sons that the means provided by the laws of this Klate for tne maintenance of law aud order will be employed to whatever degree may be necessary, and tuat all peisons whosbail, alter the publication of tnls proclamation, bhsIhi, or aid aud as-dt in rsist lntf any force ordered out by tt.e Governor to iuell or huporess huch Insurrection, wilt reoder I hemhei vts liable to lue punaiiies prei-cri iHU uy law. HouArio.SkV.uoUK. New York, July 11, 1S03." If the Republican press would have the Lonesty to give a full and ungarbled statement of Governor Seymour's acts on that memora ble day, they would exhibit him as filling the full measure of his duties in a very trying crisis. The riots were brought on by the reck less, blundering insolence of the Republican administration, who stirred the publio pas sions to fury at a time when the city was stripped of its local troops; and the coullagra tion thus madly kindled was extinguished by the vigor, energy, and address of Governor Seymour, llis conduct on the first day of the riots, the speech included, is not a topic for apology, but for eulogy and approbation. The Republican papers are too shabby and dis honest to give its full history. Fools. From the N. Y. Citizen, "Though you bray a fool in a mortar, hia folly will not depart from him." We have not only brayed the in iu mortars, but in rilled cannon, in niteen-iucu guns, and in many other curious and unpleasantly ellective In struments. and still their folly eeeins to be altogether their most prominent quality. At Vicksburg and Fort St. Philip we brayed them with our mortars, at rort l'ulaski we devoted our rilled orduance to their service, at Savau nah we turned our fil'teen-inch guns to their improvement, and at Richmoud we gave them the finishing touch with whatever we had at command; aud yet they come back to us what is left of them as fresh in their folly as ever. In fact, the process seems only to have brought the disease to the surface, and they are blooming all over with folly spots, as well soaked topers do with giu-blossoms. Oue of the most promiuent of them helps along the election of Seymour and Blair by annouueing that it would result in the salvation of the 'Lost Cause." Auo'.her repudiates the plank of the Democratic platform which announces as the settled conviction of North aud boutu alike ot Union and Rebel soldiers that se cession is dead; ami they all proclaim that the election of Seymour aud blair is to be the vindication, and possibly the renewal of Re bellion. This is bad enough; but worse remains to be told. It is announced that rebel generals and Congressmen, soldiers wilh hands red wilh the blood of our fellow-Northerners, aud politicians fresh from plotting the destruction of the Union, are to stump the North against Grant and Collax. We have all we cau do to win this election at bent save us from this assistance, or we are lost. Let them carry their own Slates; thai employment will oc cupy their lull time, and require more abilv ties than they have as yet shown in this can vass. It they cau draw over the negro vote on a fair basis, such as qualified sut frnee. let them do so. We do not care to have Buckuer's opinion that tirant is no Gen eral. Questions of this kind are pretty well FettUd in our view, aud are not involved iu the present election. If they were, and the l'emocrats took the Southern side, we should not be left with a corporal s guard ou election day. Every rebel speech at the North aud rebels seem unable to make any but rebel si.eethes will cost us a hundred votes for every one it gains. The North desires re union renuien of heart as well as of territory and when the Southerners honeBlly desire the same, they cau benefit themselves and their country by saying so openly and dis tinctly. Right glad will the North be to hear the utterance, but we cau hear it from the South the birthplace of secession as well as at, vui t,vru Jog. a. -The Indian Treaties. From the A". Y. Timet. Congress has so long delayed aation in re gard to Iudlau matters that it is extremely doubtful if any definite policy will Ire agreed upon at this session. It will be a most unfor tunate thin for the West, however, if this important matter is left for auother year ia its present unsettled condition. The Indians, discouraged aud disgusted at the non-fulfillment of the treaties which they entered into a year ago, are repeating their operations ot last season, aud roving bauds are carrying terror to the hearts of hundreds of settlers. The depredations already committed by them this vear will serve to intimidate hundreds of emigrants, who would otherwise have made their homes on the frontier. For all these outrages' the Government it directly responsible. The Indian Peace Com mission which was sent out last year suc ceeded, after great trouble aud at a heavy ex pence, in reaching the hostile tribes, ami in perfecting satisfactory treaties with them. By the terms of these treaties the ludiaus were to le concentrated on certain lauds set apart ex clusively for their use, mills, stotes, churches, and schools were to be erected for them, aud Government agents were to instruct tueui iu agricultural pursuits aud iu the raisiug of stock. In short, the red man was to be gra dually civili.ed, and taught to earn his living by the sweat of his brow. But these treaties are good for nothing until ratified by the authorities at Washington. This has not yet been doue, notwithstanding the fact that the Commissioners have repeat edly urged it upon the attention of the proper officials. They assert that this delay is the direct cause of the Indian hostilities this sea son, and predict that unless something is done speedily the disratlsraction among the red men will become more general, and another Indian war be the result. More Indian Hostilities. From the N. Y. Jlerald. Ro sooner are we assured that a final treaty of peace has been concluded with the Indians than information arrives of a renewal of depre dations upon the white settlers and travellers of the far West. By a telegram published elsewhere we learn that by reason of these depredations the agent at Fort Lamed refused to furnish the savages with arms and ammu nition, and forthwith our red men and brothers declared this to be a violation of the treaty Bnd announced themselves as ready for war. To make good their threat trains were soon alter attacked and robbed and a lieutenant and five privates of the army were subsequently muroered. At last accounts the military authorities were concentrating troops at Fort Lamed, and orders had been issued to the various posts to prepare for action at a moment's notice. In the meantime the Indians had been informed that the Govern ment, though anxious for peace, was fully pre pared to wage war an announcement which had the ellect or awing them somewhat, although they continued sullen and discon tented. Thus the matter stood when the des patch was Bent, and we doubt if the next in telligence will be more favorable. The course pursued by the lioveruuieut towards these Indians has been a most vacillating one, and a disgrace to a great nation. If our army had been made to whip the savages thoroughly, instead of "peace commisfioners" being sent to negotiate treaties, their arrogance and hos tility to the whites would have long ago dis appeared, and the settlers upon the Plains would have now been able to dwell with safety in their cabins and peacefully carry out the destiny of our civilization. We feel assured that the most rigorous measures will alone teach these redskins to fear and submit to the power of the Government. GROCERIES, ETC. rpo FAMILIES RESIDING IN THE RURAL DISTRICTS.
