It would snbserve tho cause of, republicanism and sgood govern ment, were this provision of tho Constitution changed. Where the reason of tho rule Las changed, tho role itself ought to give vniy to tho varying circumstances of tho times. The veto by ballot was formerly a shield against tyranny and oppression, to protect tho poor laboring man against tho tyrannical exactions of tyrannical em ployers. The vote by ballot is.nvW made an .engine of tyranny, and is the mere Instrument through which conspiracies against tbo peace of society and tho political and religious rights of the people arc trodden under foot. Whatever good has been effected by tho rule in ourpro vious history, would bo far more than counter balanced by tho evil likely to arise from tho present exigencies of tho limes.

It is proposed by some of the Spanish Ameri can Slates, to establish permanent legations at the city of Washington, and from that centre negotiate and arrange all troublesome questions between Europe and the American States. The greatest difficulty the Spanish American States havohad, is to get rid of troublesome questions at home, which ore continually disturbing the internal peace of those countries. If tho gov ernments had vigor enough in them to suppress internal disorders, they need not fear their ex ternal relations.
