A great deal ha* been written and ■aid aboat the taler written by Hun. O. 11. Browning. Sccretaiy of the Inte rior, to eotne of hit former constituents in Illinois ; and no little importance is attached to it, because of the declaration that it was first subiuitte 1 to the Presi dent, and received bis approval, and that he desired its publication. The fA|*er opens with a consideration of the tendencies to danger iu poblic affairs, chiefly from the centralization of power in the General Government and the absorption of many of the powers and prerogatives of the Execu tive and Judiciary by the legislative de partment. The argument upon these premises is clear and forcible, end chiefly directed against the tendencies of the proposed Constitutional Amend ment, the writer concluding that “it is impossible to maintain our wise and happy form of Government without pre serving the independence and sover eignty of the States within their appro priate and constitutional spheres u The States,” he says, “ may exist and perform all their Junctions without the Union or the Federal Government, 'ihe l nion and the Federal Government cannot exist without the States, and they must b§ States of equality—equal in rights, equal iu power, equal in the controll absolute and unconditional, of all things pertaining to their internal snd local policy and interests. Another blow which the proposed amendment aims st the government which our fathers founded, is iu the change of the basis ot representation. This would be of very pernicious effect. Aggregate population is the true basis of represent ation. No matter how the elective fran chise be disposed of, whether exercised by few or many, all classes of the com munity are represented. The interests of all classes of people in the same com munity are so interwoven and commin gled that they cannot be separated, and whoever yields to the representative power mast do it for the good or ill of all, perhaps not precisely in the same degree, but he cannot use it so as large ly to benefit o[ie class without to'some extent benefiting all, or to injure and oppress one class w ithout to & greater or less extent injuring and oppressing all. There are always, even in this country, where the right of suffrage is most wide ly extended, large uumbers who do not "Vote at all, whose interests, nevertheless, are cared for, and whose numbers, being computed iu the appointment of representation, widen tha founda tions of the representative assemblies. Such are all persons under twenty-one years of age, females of all ages, and un naturalized foreigners. Why are they not permitted to vote ? And. not being permitted, why they are counted in fixing the ratio of representation ? They are not allowed to vote because they are not supposed to be sufficiently instructed in political economy and governmental affairs to by entrusted with the elective franchise. They are computed.iu fixing . the ratio, because they are part of the same community with those who do vote, having interests in common with them, and their influence ought to be felt in shaping the laws by which their rights of life, liberty and property are to be determined ; and although they do not vote, their influence is felt and their interests are cared tor. precisely because they are counted in fixing the relative weight of the communities to which they belong in the legislative assemblies, al though therr voices are not directly heard in determining who shall represent them.” The letter concludes with tin elaborate defense of Mr. J in . .ou'g policy for res toration of t«e Union, showing that in principle it is the same as that of Mr. Lincoln, which the Radicals attempted if, overrun at their Cleveland Conven tion. called alter Mr. Lincoln's renomi nation tD the Presidency, and which the people triumphantly vindicated in his re el Ction as President, and Mr. Johnson as Vice President. The doctrine of State sovereignty, which it enunciates, is correct. It is in full accordance with the spirit of Re publicanism, and opght,.by alf means, to be vindicated and defended in this country. But it is an exploded doc trine. The war uprooted it, and it exists now only in the letters of Mr. Browning, the speeches of the Presi dent, and the tirades of the Radical press and Radical orators. If, however, the President continues firm in his position, and refuses to com- - promise with his opponents, a degree of State sovereignty may yet be Secured to console, in a measure, at least, our peo ple for the loss of State Rights and Con stitutional Rights. But will he continue firm ? That is the question. We cer tainly hope so. Mr. Browuing's letter ' gives some reason for such a hope. But our own opinion is that there will, eventually, be a compromise between him and Congress; that the Constitu tional Amendment will be modified, and the South be required to adopt it. It is very improbable that there will be a war on the strength of political differ ences between the President and Con gress. The Radical party has no desire to fight, and when they find that the President does not urge the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment in its present shape by the South, they will change their tack, and modify it so as to meet the President’s views half way, at least. This will probably settle the difficulty, and reconstruct the Union. A common-sense writer ot the South says “ we can uo longer afford to buy with ready money every lucifer match, pail, axe, shoe peg, saddle, wagon, hat and everything else we need from the North. That’s it, make such things, and if you display half the genius and industry you exhibited during the war in the manufacture of jww.ler and other war material, you will be reconstructed in spite of politicians.’’—A r . I”. Sun. The Huger of Revolution. Some of our people entertain the opto* ion that revolution and elril war are imminent in this country; that tha President will firm in lu| policy, and that OongresSwill stand film in St* policy—-a mutual firmness which will result in a collision of the opposing au thorities— and a collision in which the advocates of the respective contestants will necessarily lakepait. Possibly such a thing may occur, aud a bran-new war may loom up all of a sudden, and Congress may attempt to impeach the President, aud ho tftay assume the Dictatorship, and a grand display qt gunpowder, bombshells, and quartet*' master's stores may result. But IT is hardly likely. The American people have had enough of war, and are not anxious to get up another. At least, we don’t think they are. If, however, we are mistaken in this respect, and they should get up a shindy, Andy shall have our best wishes for hisauccess, snd will, no doubt, find friends enough in the Union to sustain him. But we repeat it; there will be ns fighting— no war. And the following from the Louisville (Ky.) Courier shows why. It is the most sensible article that we have seen on this subject, and in a few words ex plains how the whole difficulty wUI be settled: What Can tub President Do?— The question is often nsked, “What can the President do?” While there ap pears to be an anxious desire that no should by some means press forward tbo work of restoring the Union, the great mass ot the people are at a loss to understaud how he is to go about it. Some imagiue that he will raise an is sue with Congress as to its legality, and refuse to recognise it as a constitutional body so long ns ten States are excluded from representation. Others think that be will cull up the Southern members elect to take their seats, and attempt to sustain them in their positions with all the force of his authority. Others be lieve that ho will cease his active oppo sition to the policy of Congress, and with a simple protest against the policy relieve himself from all responsibility for whatever may occur. Iu his last annual message to Con gress the President informed that body that he had discharged his duty to ward sM he South in re organizing their Slate governments and setting their machinery iu operation, and that it only remained for each House of Congress to judge of the qualifications of the mem bers elect, and admit them to their seats, r»nd that then the restoration of the Union would be complete.* Congress saw proper to revise Ihe preliminary steps adopted by the Presi-. dent, and instead of merely judging of the qualifications of the raemsera elect, and admitting or rejecting them, an in vestigation into the political status of the States was instituted, and the con clusion reached that the States must accept dther conditions before they could be 'considered worthy to be admit ted to the Union, Under this state of tilings, it is diffi cult to see what more the President can do than he has already done. His duties are in the main purely executive. He can, it is true, exclude from office the supporters of the Congressional policy, and fill every position in the Government with bis own triends. Ho can veto every measure passed by Con gress, but Congress, with its two-thirds majority in each House, can pass them over his head, and then it becomes his duty to execute them. And aside, from his control ot the patronage of the Gov ernment, we can see no barrier tlmt he ean interpose between the legislation of Congress and the people. It is true that he might, as many appear to think he will, refuse to recognize Congress as a loyal body, and with the power placed in his hands as Commander-itnChief ot the Army and Navy, disperse the Con gress as Cromwell did the Parliament, and as IN ap< Jeon did the French Assem bly, and prMi- iJ| t the meeting of an other Congress until every at Me is rep resented ; but this would be re - lution, and would inevitably light the It . in 1 s os civil war. It would be an exercise ot power merely which would have to bo sustained by physical force, or it would fail, and he and those who sto id by Him would be involved in a common ruin. We have no idea that the President contemplates any such movement. For, while he cou and rally to his support.hun dreds of thousands of brave men williii" to stake their lives upon the issue, whose strong arms and unyielding valor would perhaps secure bis triumph, we cannot believe that he contemplates any such enterprise, or that he has any desire to svf) the nation involved in another war. It is much more likely that ho will remain passive, and tolerate what he cannot Constitutionally prevent; that he will execute such laws as Congress may pass over Jiis head, and give his countenance and support to whatever measures maybe calculated to ha, mo nize th<s country' aud conciliate the people. There will not be anything inconsis tent in such a policy on his part. He is the best I ' judge of his own strength and of the ground on which he stands, as well as of his duty. Whatever he be lieves to be right and proper he will do provided lie has the ability to do it• blit he may find himself in the condi tion of the South, and be compelled to submit to a policy which neither bis conscience nor his judgment can ap prove.

Many k Df the stores have been completely renovated ; to some, handsome iron fronts have been added, and spvend new buildings Have been erected. Tha stock of dry goods on hand is larger thau ever before known iu this market, and has been very tastefully selected ; trade appears to be very heavy iu this depart ment, and alsu.iu groceries, but especi ally in the former. Cotton is brought iu quite freely by wagons, but it is too yearly yet to judge of the crop, although 'it is generally believed that one-third of the,average quantity will be received at this point Augusta Street Railway Compa ny bks been organized, and the city has granted them very Hberulvtcrms. The stock is being rapidly taken, and I un derstand operations will Boon be com menced. v* A movement is on foot amongst the “Disciples of Thespis” in this, city, to form an j association for the 1 purpose of erecting itn Opera House; but they ap pear to lack the zeal and determination which clfaraeteriees the energetic men who are shouldering the gigantic under takings, of your seventy-five -thousand dollar edifice, ahd 1 fear your citizens will be enjoying the glory of the drama, uudor the management of the indomita ble Flynn, ere our people have persua ded themselves that such an establish ment would be a benefit to their city. To-night I attended a lecture deliv ered by S. Dutclier, Esq., recently of the Constitutionalist ; a very respecta table anil intellectual audience was in attendance. His subject was “The Wits of Georgia,” and it proved a very happy effort on the part of the learned gentleman, and was highly appre ciated by his attentive and admiring listeners. I have met and received favors at the hands of ray old friends, Atkinson aud Johnston, of the Chronicle tfc- Sentinel, Stockton,-of the Constiiuiionulist, and Pughe and Blome,. of the Daily Press. Iu the name of the Era, allow me to thank these gentlemen ior their' kind ness shown toward your correspondent. Beautiful.. —The finest thing Bishop Heber ever wrote was this inimitable passage: ’ “It cannot be the earth is man's only abiding place. It cannot be that our life is a bubble.cast up by the ocean of eternity to float a moment upon its waves, and sink into nothing ness. Else why is it, the high and glorious aspirations, which leap, like angels from the temple of oOr hearts, are forever wandering unsatisfied? Why is it that the rainbow and cloud come over us, with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off to leave us to muse on their loveliness? Why is it that the stars which ‘hoi l -their festival around the midnight throne,’ are set above the grasp of our limited faculties; for ever mocking us with their unap proachable glory ? And finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view and taken from us ; leaving the thousand streams of our affections to flow back in an Alpine torrent upon our hearts? We arc horn for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades; where the stars will ho spread out before us like the Islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful beings which pass before us like shadows, will Stay for ever in our presence."
