Constitution. Suppo-e suob a war should result in the' conquest of a State, how are wo to govern it afterwards! Shall we hold it as a pronuce, and govern it by despotic power I In the nature of things we could not, by physical force, coutrol the will of the people, and compel thein to elect Sen otors. aud Representatives to Congress, and' to perform all the other duties do pn'fins upon their own volition, and re quire from the free citizeus of a free State as a constituout member of tbo Confedera cy. But, if we possessed this power, would it be wise to exercise it under existing circumstances T The qfcjeot would dou' t be to preserve the Union. War would not only present the most effectu al means of destroying it ; but would ban-i-b all hope of its peaceble reqon-truction. IJ.-fidef, in the fraternal conflict a vat a uiouut of blood and treasure would be ex pended, rendering future reconciliation between the Statca impossible In the mcauliiae. who can foretell what wolud bo the mffc rings and privations of the people during it cxi-tencel The fact is, that our Union rests upon public opinion, and cao never be ccmen nA hx, thrt hlood of in citizens socd m civil war. If it cannot live in the affec nions of tbo people, it must one day per ish. Congress rosscssps many moans oi preserving it by conciliation; but the Tiot -nlaced in their hand to r preserve it bv force. But may I bo permitted solemnly to invoke uiy countrymen to pause and de liberate, before they determine to destroy this the grandest temple which has evei hfiftn dedicated to human freedom since the world beean! It has been consecra ted bv the blood of our fathers, by the glories of the past, and by the hopes of the future. The Union has already maae us the most properous and, ere long, will, if preeerved, render us the mostpowertu nation on tbo face of the earth. In every foreign region of the globe the title of American citizen is held in the highest respect, and when pronounced in a foreign land it causes the hearts of our countrymen to swell with uonest pride. Siimlv wh. n wc reach the briuk of the vawninsr aby-, we ahull recoil with hor ror from the last fatal plunge. By such a. dread catastrophe the hopes of the friends of freedom throughout tbo world would be destroyed, and a long night o leaden despotism would enshroud the na tions. Our example for more than eijih ty years would nit ouly be lost; but it would be quoted a a conclusive proof that raau i uufit for self government. It i not every wrong nay . it is not ev ery grievous wron which can justify a re-sort to -ocb a fearful alternative. This oufcbt to be the last dtoperate remedy of a dcsDairiuj people, after ever? other con etitutional mean of conciliation had been exhausted. We should reflect that an der this free Government the re is an in ccs&ant ebb and flow in public opinion The slavery question, liko eoryt.bins hu ir.au, will have its day. I Grmly believe that it has already reached and passed the culminating ooint. But if, in the midst of the exi-tsng escitetneut, the Uni on shall perish, tho evil may then beaome irreparable. Congress can contribute much to avort it by proposing and recom nn'niinjr to tbe legitdatures of the several State- the remedy for existing evil?, which the Con-titution has itself provided for it own preservation. This, bos ben tried at different critical periods of our history, and always with eminent success. It is to be found in tbe 5tb article providing for its own amend nient. Under tui article amendments havo been proposed by two-thirds of both hnu-es of Congress, and havo been rati fied by the legislatures o three fourths of the several States." und have consequent ly become parts of the Constitution. To this process the country is indebted for tbe clause prohibitive Congress from par ting any law respecting an establishment of religion, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or of tbe right of petition. To tbi wc are, also, iudebted for tbe Bill of Ribt, which secures the people again! any abuse of power by the Federal Government. Such were tbe op prehcnions justly entertained by tbe friends of State rights at that period as to have rendered it extremely doubtful whether tbe Constitution coufd have long survived without these amend meets. Aain, the Constitution was amended bv the same process after the election of President Jefferson by tbe Hooso of liep resentatires, in February, 1803. Thi a mendment was rendered necessary to pre vent a recurrence of the dangers which bad seriously threatened the existence of tbe government daring the pendency of that election. Tho article for its own a- mendtnent-was intended to secure tbe am icable adjustment of conflicting constitu tional Questions like tho present, which might arise between tbo governments o the States and that of tbo United States. This appears from contemporaneous bis tory. In this connection, I shall merely call attention to a few sentences in Mr r . it 1 . - Madison s justly celebrated report, in 17)9. to tbe legislature of Virginia. In this be ably and conclusively defended tbo resolutions of the preceding legislature a gainst tbe utrictures of several other State legislatures. These were mainly founded upon tbi protests of tbe Virginia Legislature a gainst the "Alien and Sedition Acts," as "palpable and alarming intractions ot the Constitution." In ooiutine out. tbe peaceful and constitutional remedies, and ho rfnrrpfi fn nonfi ofhflr. to WUICU tn States were autborized to rot-orr, on such occasions, he concludes bv savinir. "that tbe Legi-lature of the States might have a direct representation to Congress with a view to obtain a rescinding of tbe two offensive act)1, or they might nave repre eented to their respective Seoators in Con gress their wihh that two thirds thereof would propose an explanatory amendment to tbe Constitution, or two third of them selves, if -uch had been their option, might by an application to Congress, bave ob tained a convention for tbe same object " This is the very courfie which I earn estly recommend in order to obtain an "explanatory amendment" of the Constitu tion on tbe subject of slavery. This might originate with Congress or the Stato le gislatures, as may be deemed most advi- same to attain tno onjeci. Tbe explanatory amendment.migbtr oe confined to the final settlement of tho true construction of tho Constitution on three special points : 1. An express recognition or me nguv of property in slaves in tho States where it now exists or may hereafter exist. 2. The duty of protecting this right m all tho common Territories throughout their territorial existence, and until they nhall bn admitted as States into the Uni on, with or without slavery, as their con stitutions mav prescribe. 3. A hko recognition of tbe right ot tho master to havo bis slave, who has es caped from one State to another, restored and "delivered up" to him, and of the va lidity of the fugitive slave law enacted for this purpose, tosether with a deolartion that all State laws impairing or defeiting this right are violations of tbo Constitu tion, and are consequently null and void It may be objected that this construc tion of the Constitution has already been settled by tbo Supreme Court of tbe Uni ted States, and what more ought to be required ? The anwer is, that a very large proportion of tho United States still contest the correctness of this decision, and ne?er will cease from agitation and adtait its binding force until clearly es tablished by the peoplo of tho several States in their sovereign character. Such an explanatory amendment would, it is believed, for ever terminate tbo existing dissensions and restore peace and harmo ov among tbe States, "it ought not to be doubted that sucb an appeal to the arbitrament established by the Constitution itpelf would be re ceived with favor by all tbe States of tbe Confederacy. In any event it ought to be tried iu a spirit of conciliation helore any of these States shall separate themselves from the Union. When I entered upon tbe duties of tbe presidential office, the aspect neitbeir of onr torein nor aomestio annus was ai all sntisfactorv. We were involved in dangerous complications with several na tinnn find two of our territories were m a state of revolution against the Govern ment. A retoration of the African slave trade had numerous and powerful advo cates. Unlawful military expeditions were countenanced by many of our citi zens, and were suffered, in defiance of the efforts of tbe Government, to escape from our shores, for tho purpose of making war upon tho unoffending people of neighbor ing republics with whom we were at peace In addition to these and other difficul ties we experienced a revulsion in mone tary affairs, soon after my adcent to pow er, of unexampled severity and of ruin ous consequences to all the great interest of the country. When we tako a retros pect of what was then our condition and contrast this with its material prosperity at the time of our late prcsidetial election, we have abundant reason to return our ijrateful thanks to that merciful Provi dence which has never forsaken us as a nation in all our past trials. A considerable portion of the message is devoted to our foreign relations. In regard to Great Britain we are informed that two questions which in former times excited much feeling have been amicably settled. A mutually satisfactory con struction of tho Clayton Bulwer treaty has been established, and Great Britain has finally abandoned the right to forcibly visit and search American vet-sels on the high eas in time of peace. Tbe onlv question in dispute between the two coun tries now is tho title to tbe island of San Juan, in tho vicinity of Washington Ter ritory. The rights of our naturalized 'citizens of French birth to be exempt from milita ry service, when they vi-it tbeir native country, has been fully recognized by a Frencb judicial tribunal, with tbo sanc tion of the Imperial Government, and tbe message contains some sound doctrine in regard to tbe duty of our country, to up bold tbe rights of its adopted citizens from tbe German States, and to 'recognize no distinction between our native and natu ralized citizens." In referring to our relations with Spain, the President reiterates the recommend a tion contained in his message of 1558, and repeated in 1859, in favor of the purchase of Cuba. The prospects of tbe success of tbi recommendation in tbo present con dition of nationil affairs, our recders will have no difficulty in estimating. In regard to our finanoial condition, tbe President claims credit for having reduced the national expenditures, for tbo year ending on tho 30th of June 1860, to 8ri5,4()2,46fj 46. In regard to tho tariff, ho again ur gently recommends its modification for the purpose of increasing the revenue, and makes a very strong argument in favor of imposing specific instead of ad valorem duties upon all articles to which these can be applied. ratting tue document as wuole, it is a most remarkable medley, exbibttiu? tbe work of a variety of bands, and showing unmistakable signs of having been pieced and patched, elaborated and cut down, to xuit tbe conflicting opinion' of different members of tho cabinet. There nro pas sages in which it is direct, forcible and satisfactory, and these aro followed by others that are feeble almost to absurdity. It is cloar that the Presidont and his ad visers did not know what to do with the great question they were forced to deal with.

They wandered about in tho woods until about half past five in the afternoon, when Morrison (so savs Daniels') sat down, saving that be must rest before goinj further. Daniel then left bim and raado bis way out o the woods, telling Morrison to follow his track when bo reecovered. Morrison not returning, on Saturday morning a party went in cearch of him. About four miles from Milford on Buckborn Ridge tbey found bim lying on his back, hi fee under him, and gun on his breast tightly clasped in his hand, with a terrible wound in his forehead. Coroner Loreaux summoned a jury and held an inquest. The jury rendered a verdict of accidentia! death, caused by the disohargo of a gun in his own hand.' From the position in wbicb the body was found, it would appear that after r Daniels loft him he had attempted to fol low his track, and had proceeded about half a milo, when the accident occurred Daniels was 7crv much cshautcd when V1 bo reached a house.
