Corscspotidcncc of the Jejfcrsonian.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 17, 1859.
Dear Friend: Washington in Au
gust is not by any means what it is in the
winter. No largo multitudes of people
are now to be seen promenading the "Av
enue" such as during the session of Con
gress; no crowds about the 4,National"
and other large hotels. These as well as
a thousand other Hons indicate that the
great Federal law-givers, arc not now
sitting yet the city of "hacks and dis
tances" even at this season is not without
a breeze of excitement, now and then, to
ruffle the placid current of events. Even
during the interim, between the sessions
of Congress not a few are always on hand,
who, anxious to do something for their
country, arc looking with wistful eyes for
crumbs to fall from the Executive table,
and whenever one drops, then comes the
orucl strife, the deadly conflict.
The "Union" recently caused no little
excitement, by appearing with an edito
rial headed, "Tax on clerk." Among
other things t! e "Union" advocated that
every government clerk should pay some
thing for the support of the pood caue,
and that all who can not, or will not "fork
over'ougbt to le made "totcalk the plank."
You may imagine that talk like this from
the "Uuion" created no little commotion
in the camp of the faithful. They pro
nounce it exceedingly bard that they
should be curtailed in any of their accus
tomed luxuries the pleasant rides and
drives the sparkling cup the Farobank
aud all, for that cruel tax and more
over that they ought to be discharged if
the cash should not be fortneoming ! Tbi
is awful in the extreme, intolerable after
having served their country so long and
so faithfully, even at the rate of four long
hours each day as scribes at their desk!
But worse than all the "Union" pronoun
ces many of them ,iundeservi?tg" even af
tey they hare kept step to the muic of
Democracy for so many years and so stren
uously contended all alone, for the faith
held by the sainted chiefs of this sancti
fied party, after doing anything and eve
rything for the party, without asking any
question?, and after having so recently
sworn allegiance anew in the Lecompton
test it is too bad for tho Union to hint
that such gentlemen as these are not de
serving of the party in highestdegree. But
further, these faithful employees day, that
they have now labored these many years
and got nothing for their important ser
vices beyond their meagre salaries $1200
to S24U0; not even the least scrap
urlcaliiis': while, as they allege, the Ed
't. r..l. rTT. ? I -t
nor oi me -union, nas grown rich on
these little extras. That he should filch
from the government at the time of a bun
dred thousand per annum docs not reall
matter much, for the Editor has a plenty
oi company at mis game, thousands in
the party are engaged in the same inno
cent amusement, aud then Uncle Sam
good natured and has a nleutv of monev
and when the cash runs out has credit and
can issue Treasury notes or borrow. But
for the Uuion to practice its avariciou
propensities on the clerks is too bad.
There certaiuly ought to be some way
provided to pay the Union for printing
the "documents-' other than callin
rr nn
the clerks to foot tho bills.

What the Monroe Democrat Said Dec.
3d 1857.
"Kansas Constitution.' The Kan
sas Constitutional Convention has finish
ed its labors and adjourned. We have
purposely, thus far, refrained from notic
ing its proceedings, becauso we did not
wish to raise our voice for or against its
action, before we had some tangible as
surance what it was to result in. Now,
however, it. becomes us to speak, and we
mean to speak plainly.
When the bill authorizing the conven
tion passed tho Territorial Legislature,
we had every assurance, from those who
seemed to ppeak by authority, that its
work should be conducted fairly and im
partially, and that when finished the con
stitution should be submitted to the peo
ple for their approval or rejection. We
wero led to believe, and, on our faith, we
helped to lead others to believe that in
the constitution's formation the members
of the convention would continually keep
in view the doctrincof "popularsovcreign
ty," as promulaed to the Kansas Nebras
,ka bill: that they would act honorably
and without partiality to any of tho vari
ous sentiments which have heretofore di
vided and distracted the territory. But
we were deceived- ourself, aud in turn
have involuntarily aided in deceiving our
neighbors. So far as the convention act
ed. made itself a comnlete elan trap of
r -- 4 .
pro-slavery interests, and had regard on
ly for the wishes of a small" minority of
those who are domiciled in the Territory.
Instead of regarding the doctrine that the
will of the majority shall govern its mem
bers, or a majority of them, appear to
have spent their time in devising a way
by which the popular will mibt be cheat
ed, and the minority be allowed to rule.
This action belies all their own pledges,
and all the pledges of the whole democ
racy. North and South, made duriur
the late presidential camnai-in. There is

deal of an examination aud an approval
by Congress, and we hope and coufiden-
tially believe that tho body will so act a
- - .
to severely rebuke these tamperers with
the rights of the people, and teach them
that "popular sovereignty " does not mean
olayinsi into the hands of the south, a. a
part', nor of the north, but that it mean
civiog the hona-fide residents of the Ter
ritory, let them come from what
nuarter
they may, a fair and impartial bearing,
in the, formation of tho fundamental lav.
of the State. This the Democracy of the
country stands pledged to, aud this Con
gress should insist upon
We have not as yet seen tho con-titu
tion itself, but let that in-trumcnt be ever
so perfect in its provision", the fact that
the schedule of its coutents, prepared by
the members of the convention which
framed it, makes no provision for its sub
mission, as a whole, to the people for their
acceptance or rejection, is enough of itielf

other State has so hib-hauded au at
I i . i .
tempt been maue by the lew to lorce a
constitution upon the many; and tbe at
tempt should uot be submitted to in this
instance, and we hope will not be.
What doe" the schedule teach usl Why,
that the President of the Convention
should proclaim au election to be held
on the 21st of the present month: that
ihe same President should appoint three
persons in each countv, who shall select
judges to hold the election; that the bal
lots shall be "constitution with shivery,
or "cou.-titutiou without slavery;" that
the returns of said election be made to
the same President, and the result hi'
proclaimed by him, and certfGed to Gou
grcss. If the slavery clause be sustained.
the constitution is to bo sent to Con
gress as drafted; if not sustained the
slavery clause is to be out, and so trans
nutted; no amendments to be made to the
constitution until seven years shall have
expirea alter its adoptiou. In no event
- J r. . .
is it allowed tue people to vote for or a
gainst any other provision than that
winch relates to slavery: all the rest mu-t
be taken and swallowed as tho lordly-
doctors hate prepared it. What a hum
bug this; what a slur attempted to be
cast upon the rights of the people to gov
ern themselves. It bears upon its face
the impress of trick and fraud, and should
bring down upon the beads of its author
tbe scorn and contempt of every lover of
honesty and straight-forward dealin'
throughout the land.

Bevision of the Bible.
Tho new version of tho Bible abou to
be published by J. P. Jewett & Co., Bos
ton, is enliniting much comment from- the
press, both secular and religious, iti this
country and Europe. The Rev. Leices
ter Ambrose Sawyer, fho learned trans
lator of this forthcoming revved edition
of the sacred volume, has devoted the
past twenty years of his life to Biblical
otudies, with special reference to the in
dependent revision aud translation of tbe
Bible from the original languages. That
stuh a revision is manifestly needed, we
think has been abundantly shown by inn
of learning who have devoted tluir test
talent to this important subject; aud ii
the rules set forth by Mr Sawyer, a con
stituting the principles upon which his
translation is fouuded, are judiciously ad
hered to, the proposed improvements up
on tjio common Eugli-b version canuot
but be, in the aggregate, of great impor
tance. For the benefit of those interested in
tbe subject, wo' give a condensed summa
ry of the considerations enumerated by
the trauslator as formiug the basis of his
revision. Mr. Sawyer proposes to trans
late from tho most approved texts of the
originals; to do so with the utmost pre
cision and accuracy, woid for word, and
particle for particle, but without servility
iu respect to idiomatic forms and mode
of expression; to traoslate the same words
3 "J" tbev th 8ttne
things, and different words by different
wordu or corrcspoudius meanings: to
translate "eneral terms by those equally
general, and not the more general by the
less general, or vice versa; to avoid all
needless indelicacy in the translation; to
translate into the present style of lan
guage in preference to tbe antique: to in-
terpolate as little as possible; to transfer
the names of weights, measures.coins. &c,

Xicaving tins subject, in the main, to
tho deeisioq of theologians, we may ncvur
tbelesa be allowed to say that some of the
suggestions embraced iu the alove would,
if wisely acted upon, certainly result fa
vorably for the more perfect uuder.-tnnd
ing of the Bible by the ordinary English
reader. Jijnqpos ot this, it may uot be
improper to give ao instance or t-vo in
continuation ot this opinion from a work
recently publislica by Dr. Trench,
the Dean of Westmin-ter, a (SUtinguisbed
grammarian aud iiiblical scholar
Among other individual reasons given
in this work why a revision is uceded, it
is stated the word its cccurs but once iu
the Scriptures, and did not occur in the
original translation of Hill, the possess-
ive case of it in accordance with the then
grammatio usage, having been his, so that
the translator spoke ofilie salt losing his
savor, of tho candlestick with his lenops
and his flowers, &o. So. too, instances
are given, showing that the meaninns ol
the sauic words now aud two hundred
years ago aru so widely different as to
make the present rendering unintelligible
to the ordinary reader. One striking
cxamnln nf this rli:.
Mathow vi.. 25 in th wnrH "Tnl-nn
Uhought for your life; what ye shall cat,
or what yo shall Ur nils." Now. accord
ing to the acceptiou of these words at the
present day, these would seem to condemn I

LIVER JiWIGORATOltin another column,
African Democratic Meeting.
-According to the usual notice ihe a
bove named party held its annual Coun-
ty meeting on Monday afternoon in the
Court Houmo. Ex-Sheriff Cope was call
ed to the Chair, assisted by a large num
ber of Vice Presidents, together with the
usual quota of Secretaries. A committee
on resolutions, consisting of two persons
from each election district was then ap
pointed, which in a very short time re
ported a string of resolutions of the most
non-committal character, and deceptive
nature ever palmed off upon the public
But some of these we sbail examine here
after. The meeting condemned the sale
of our publio work, and the legislature
for voting itself two hundred dollars ad
ditional pay last winter. Governor
Packer was condemned by being passed
over in eilence.
After the adoption of the resolutions,
Hon. W. IT. Dimmick, our present rep
resentative in Congress, was introduced
to illuminate the audience. His appear
ance indicates that his stomach receives
more attention than his mental composition.
Wo shall not attempt a report of bi
speech, because it was double all the way
through. lie stumbled, plunged, floun
dered, repeated and murdered the
Queen's English so horribly, that eve
the Democracy hung their heads, and
many left the Court House in disgust.
Among other assertions bo made, he said
that this government was founded on a
slave basis. A falser libel, by a repre
sentative from a free State was never ut
tered. He also spoke of a superstructure
upon which to build a government. Who
ever heard of building upon a superstruc
ture! He also stated, that the reason
why be and others voted for the Lecomp
ton Constitution, was, becaue the South
ern representativea threatened to Uavo
Congress, if that Constitution was rejected.
What shameful avowal! Northern free
men bovr the knee to tho dictation aud
threat of Southern slaveholders! Shamo
to the man who u weak enough to mako
such a confession and declaration. But
it is sickening to follow such twaddle any
further. It was the poorest, the weakest,
the most miserable, and worst English
-pecch we ever heard. Such a represen
tative ii a stauding, sittii.g, and even
sleeping disgrace to any community.
When be was done, nobody could tell
what he bad talked about. lie was con
tradictory, unmeaning and without point.
Max Goepp, Eq., was ncxtiatroduc
ed. His speech was nou committal
throughout, without the discussion of any
principle. It was far superior to that of
Mr. Dimmick s Vecauscit could not be
worse. But Mr. Goepp felt tbat ho was
in a tight place. He started out with the
idea to give an account of his stewardship
last winter, but he fizzled. He only com
plained that the People's party had an
nounced no principles. That U no con
cern of hi-, his business is to proclaim and
defend his own.
Hon. R. Brodhead next addressed the
meeting. He complainid bitterly, lc
cause ho was not returned again to the U.
S. Senate. He made some home thrusts at
the democracy for this treatment, and
told them that n a year or two he would
agaiu be ready for active service. He eu-
logisea the lion. John M. Bead, as a
gentleman, jurist, anil scholar, and gave
W. A. Porter a sly di' on the Christian
Mi-sionary principle. He boasted that
he was tho leader upon all the great ques
tions to which the Democracy was now
acting.
Upon the whole, this was one of the
ickliest. meetiugs the Democracy have
had in thi couuty for ni3ny years. The
bourt House wa-i only moderately filled,.
and no enthusiasm animated it. We be-
ieve that the leaders all feel defeat star-
ing them in the face. The luce Frcss.

cuses the Union of having published two
of his letter, which were in their nature
strictly confidential, within the last four
weeks.
The pretext that the vote of Kausas at'
the late election was indicative of a de-'
sire of hrr people to remain iu the terri-
temtorial eon iition i- a palpable absurd
ity. All parties in tho lemtory have
been busily at work eudeavoriug to secure
admi-i&iou during the last two years. Not'
one man in a hundred of tboc who voted
against accepting the proposition submit
ted by tho English Bill was animated bv
a desiro to remain out of tho Union in
casting a negative vote. I see that even
some of tha Administration pupers refuso '
to aaopt tbe auti-aamnsion theory of ac
counting for the result. Tho Iowa Stale
Democrat says :
