David Wilmot, for several valu able Congressional documents lately received. Ir is soy zest for the Constitution which attaches suspicion of disloyalty to any man. He who respects that instrument and obeys its wise mandates, is not he who is forever prating. on the necessity of its preservation. The' pil ferer is sometimes the loudest in bawling "stop thief," and the cry of "wolf, wolf," conies with' an ill grace from those whose hands - and teeth are bloody with the sacrificesjhey . have already made of their country's peace, honor, glory andipiosperity. Loyah men have 'a right to susrieot the patriotism of any man who is con stantly interposing the Constitution between the opportunity to punish and the traitors who deserve punishment. Loyal men have a right to complain when professed loyal men emulate each other in efforts and arguments to screen and justify those who are in arms against the country—and we care not who the man is, whether he be high or low, rich or poor, he is, a traitor at heart, and a false, designing coward, who would insist on the guaranteiog of any right in the Constitution to traitors, except it is the right which insists on their trial, convlc tionmid hanging. This is the law of common sense, construed by a common necessity of Self. preservation. It is the construction of the Constitution which contemplates its highest vindication. That which dough-face sympa thizers with traitors desire, would prove more disastrous to Constitutional liberty than the absolute Alestrucnion of every provision of that instrument, simply because the spirit which would keep in existence a stern law, and yet mollify it when it was trampled under foot by one class, and exert its rigor when it was vio Wed by another, is the same which engendered the feeling of treason, which ' encouraged the slave-oligarchy„to rebel, and which seeks the right to nullify law, when the operation of such law affects their interests or humiliates their' pride. We are not fighting for thri Con stitution in this struggle, and therefore those, who are so solicitious. lest it be infringed or destroYed; make their solicitude s feint 'to at= tract public) suspicion from their treas On. are fighting to punish traitors—to punish there es is provided for in the Constitution, and be-• Having that that Constitution is as powerful as it was before a hand was raised to nullify Its authority, its power, and its influence, our • SOlicitudn....ht—inpra th ,4 ~.fussr - trtglon, UAW that it le in den: ger 91, yiolation while in the process of ' pun, hthinjg !traitors.. There can be no miscon struction of the Constitution in their punish med.' ifs Provisions on that subject are as clear and, as stern, as the penalty of death which it provides-,and throughout all its sections and artioles - ,r , there - is not a single word which ' can :0800nstrueil or implied as either the apology , er the sOlicitude for traitors, which are so lavishly indulged in by-those who are now clamoring for the preservation of that Consti tution."

COLONEL CHABLE'S CAMPBELL Vite - merely had time and room, yesterday, to annorince - the hare, fact that Colonel Charles Campbell had been appointed to the command of the 87th regiment; vice Col. Maxwell re signed. Col. Campbell is among the most efficient, and most experienced of all the Colo-, nolo leading regiments from this state, while his services on the field have won him a reputation which will equal that of any pffiper of his grade in the 'federal army. To a devotion to his profeeshin • Col. Campbell joins a loyalty to his conitri, at once zealous and incorruptible. He has, the personal quality to impart enthusiasm to his regiment, and the commanding knowl edge to render it invincible in a fight. He will not be the last in the fight or the first to leave any l tald. . Tim Arpnovenrion BELL, which has passed Congress, gives $60,000 to the new Agricultural bureau just established. It is understood that the new bureau will institute a series oLexperl ments with flax and hemp with a view to their suhetttution for cotton, though since the late no* from Tennessee prothising a speedy re opening of the cotton region to our manufacto ries the desire to substitute flax for cotton has matiiiiiiy abated. The demand for cettonz seecisi irons the west is very great; hi fact there seems to beo mania upon the subject. Southern. Illinois will dotibtless plant quite's% cotton crop' thinalpring. Agetittillfave been sent into Teal mete! to obtain the seed of upland cotton, which will better answer the purpose of the cottoll planters oft the west. Much disappoint meie.bilelt in ` certain quartpre tbe apparent dkliositiOn of Sie Senate to . postpone action upon Senator Foster's bill to facilitate the col tivatch cotton along the sea-masit in 'marl- Moo VOA' States btu!" F 1.1441 gsfil week twill be of no benefit' for the present year, and by another year a different state of things will probably exist. SLAVERY ONCE, SLAVERY FOREVER. There is a wild charm about the institution of slavery, which: those who own slaves are not as willing to surrender as most people suppose. This is instanced by the fact that the Constitu tion of the new state of Kanawha makes no other provision in reprd to slavery, than that all the laws of the state .of Virginia on this subject, shall be 'continued in force ; which:refers the subject to the Legislature of Kanawha either for concurrence or rejection. The fact that the people of-the newatate of•Kanarohai Or of that portion of the territory of Virginia which forms the new state thus named,) were forced to adopt a distinct state organization by the distinctive ?granny and Overheating :Of the lslavii-holding leaders- of - this slain-holding itebelllion, wnedd have led Mod! Pe: opleiitdijittp that slaiery. wordcrbe opportunity by those thus oppressed. But "those who have anticipated this, see their disappointment in a fact whiOh 4 Will preta - nt - the admissitm of the new state of Kanawha into - the Union, because if Congress thus agrees to•take to:the •bosom of this Union other states with slavery for their intereetit =:and r ingentives,.:they might as well acknowledge all the rights now claimed for that institution,- and receive slavery as it for 7 merly was, supreme in the senate and potent in the Executive Departments of this government. If Kanawha should be admitted with her Con stitutiert'reittigniZMi 'alidiiry, and the other poithiti qirthitiplii* . bronght back to the Union nrfau independent sovereign state, the result would be, that a territory and a people who had but two would be represented by four Senators, While thei'representation ht the House would be the same, interested by the same infiuence, and working for , the same end of shivery domination. We behold this realized so far as the" Senders froin 'Kanawha are con- corned, in the rabid manner with which those gentlemen assail all who do not , bow down and warship slavery as a second great . Dialah of the Elibefsialls- • . = • Th l e'ilila cif aitY'Statitithking to be admitted' Into the Union at thiirrtnibtliri3, with a Consti tution recognizing 'shivery, is simply to insult the convictions of the American Congress, and seek to give the reneWed assurance that the American people are irredeemably wedded to Union. liature'has declared the freedom of that portion Of the territory which forms this new state of ganaWha. Slavery , has been gradually disappearing from that locality, until to-day it is virtually estimated as free soil. 'And' yet, in conventions Of citieens, evidently controlled by other motives than those of contributing to the peace and prosper ity of this Union; gravely decree and solemnly ask to be admitted into that Union with prin ~ ciples and a constitution that are now at work antagonising all , that conduces to the freedom of the human race, arid all that adds to the stability and permanency of the American Union. Were it not for the gravity of the occasionLwe should deem these thus making this claim Si insane, hut in' deferefice to their reputed . intelligence we must = attribute this last ant of impudence, to the charm which the right to buy and lk.qmati beingit, exercise over the minds and jndgmeets 'of men.' That cherni stultifies as well as del ages, and in this imitsuute.ht themore mournful ha its aspects, of= a wrong which Brivorking: evil to our deitiny in this; and our future in another world. TffrOLD Pao-&&vaavOaeaivs are dreadfully Jodie:Lent beceussi the rePresentatives in Con gress refuse to respond to every resolution that a • certain class of dough-faces are anxious, to bring before that body. Among the last reso lutions offend, Was one' by Mr. Holman, an Indiana dough-face of the most cringing goal- sties, who desired to assure the country that this war was prosecuted to : restore the Union, and promote the welfare of•all the states. The House very properly rejeated-such trash, by a ',nest d'ecided vote.' Thil3 anxiety "of dough-face Democrats to fix the purposes of this:war only to a restoration of the Union, without providing for a recurrence of rebellion, and the punish- Irkrint' of those engaged' ia . the present 'raid against the govenithent, is part Of their plari to give aid and comfort to the slave-holding trai tors.
