Tin* pending amendment of the Constitu tion ..'..o'i-Ung slavery, baa produced a cor r<>.»*>!:d€iice between tbe S<cretary of Slate and Governor Perry, of South Carolina W hicb lia-s tbe feature of novelty in the in terpr taiion of that instrument. Governor P. rry having ewted to tbe Washington au th runs that there was no objection to rati fy , „ the amendment except an apprehen si n that Congress might, under the second 6t inn of that amendment, claim the right t<-h-gi-late for the negro after slavery was abo isbed. To tl.is Mr Seward replied : 1 I'beobjeCti >n which you mention to the lari clause of the constitutional amendment is n gardi das qut-tulous and unreasonable, b c 7ist that < lajse is really restraining in its ibecs. instead of enlarging the power of Cu-tress." ti ivv Mr. Seward Can call that a retraining clause that enlarges the powers of Congress, we cann-'i Imagine. The second section of the act is in these words: 1 C egress shall have power to enforce this art c e by appropriate legislation.” We agr-e in npiuiou with the New York World “that the article belongs to the ca>s of laws that executes itself." The rule of interpretation has never been denied, that the power being given, the means o' its execution must be also presumed to be given, and, if not expressed, follows by ne cessary implication. It was in conformity with this rule of interpretation, that Chiel Justice Marshals decided in favor of the con sthutionaiity of the Bank of the United S alo in the c ise of McCulloch vs. the State of M irylund. In that case, the Court decid ed ti at the Bth section of tbe Ut articlo of the constitution, was not restrictivt but en a j' and the powers of Congress. The language of C ief J utic ■ Mirstiall was. ■Tue counsel for the State of Maryland, favi urg and various arguments to prove that this clause, though in terms a grant of pow er. is roiso in c fleet; but is really restrictivt o! the general right, which might otherwise be im lied, of selecting the eonumerated powcis." A ter some further remarks in illustration of il ls point, the Chief Justice concludes as ‘Tne clause is placed among the powers of Congress, not among the limitations on those powers. Its terms purport to enlarge not to d'unish the p >wers vested in the govern m at. It purports to be an additional power, ni t a restriction on those already granted." Now, the second section of the amend ment abolishing slavery is in these words : ‘•Congress shall have power to enforce this ani le by appropriate legislation.” There is no cliff.rence between this language and that employed in the Bth section of the Ist ar tii leg giving Congress power of making “al* laws which shall be necessary and proper for c irrying into execution tbe foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Cos istitntion in the government of tbe United States, or in any department thereof.” Mr. Seward and Chief Justice Marshall are, ‘therefore at issue on the point, whether re. siraiuiug words in a Constitution do not enlarge instead of restrict their power. Judge Marshall said that such WO r ds enlarged the power of Congress. Mr. Seward affirms that they restrain its power. The power to enforce, which, in tbe lan guage of of Judge Marshall, is additional power, Is mere surplusage, for two reasons: Ut, that all the affirmative grants of power, am mg which this amendment will be placed, are seif-cXeCutory or imply the means of ex ecution ; and, 2d, that the words giving the puw, r to enforce were already in tbe Con sii ution. Placing them there a becond time wa> calculated to alarm tbe Southern States. The power might be assumed by Congress to legislate with regard to negroes in all re sects, under color of the right to prohibit slavei y. Hence tbe apprehension of Gov. Perry, “ that Congress might claim the right to legislate for the negroes after slavery was abolished.” Bui after all the question in this aspect, ia oce as to propriety in the use of terms. The amendment of the Constitution is demanded, uo; in the spirit of the clause which provides for the amendment of that instrument, but as the only condition upon which the South ern States will be re-admitted as parties to the Constitution. The construction and prac tical aj plication of the amendment will be the subject of future discussion.

Along South, West and Washington streets aud the streets leadiog to the North river the basements were sub merged, the occupants being driven out and large quantities of valuable properly being either completely destroyed or seriously damaged, lu many of the cellars the water attained a depth of four feet, and the tide is said to huve been higher than for eighteeu years previous. The river ironts of the sur rounding cities experienced similar inuuda tions. No great damage to the shipping in New York harbor is reported, though many vessels lyiug at the piers were considerably chafed, and some small craft had their deck loads washed away. There were no arrivals from sea on Tuesday evening, and several vessels which were to have sailed anchored in tbe bay. The wind blew down some trees, fences and portions of chimneys, but did not inflict any very heavy damage. Ac counts reach us of the prevalence of tbe storm as far east as Boston and as far south as Fortress Monroe. N*w England Mutual Life Insurance Cosifany.—The Hon.
