Some myste rious spirit of evil haa led llio people in fo tho i/lindcsf, wildest infntunlioo. 1'fto one great ruling passion bus become tho thirst fop money—money for display, and money for reckless excesses. Men tlmt once were counted reasonable mid SetiSfhlo are earned riloiig on fho w'ftvek or wild nivl ,fi»oIi«)j spp«u|hUion. nnd wo men, ortefl dncortuis and fnodsst and wo- manly, have dounod tho ln«>nt cxtrnvu- gant primments. The worst of ull that The Undictds profess to feel grant nnxi ety on tho subject of the payment of the national debt, and lifgo their protended fear* thnt the Southern Renreountativo will favor tho repudiation of n debt in< emrod in thoirnu)»jngntion n* n valid ex cuse fbr their reftmal to admit those members to their sente until such consti tutional guarantees for tho payment ol tho debt itro furnished os will render its repudiation impossible. This is evident ly a pretext Those who make the ar gument must bo fully oonvinc.od thnt no more paper guarantees will exerciss any restraining influence whatever upon men disposed to commit a violation of law or n repudiation of a contmut. They are now establishing precedents for the eliango rif tho organic law, which will, perhaps, defeat Hie very object they have (n view in making tlm nmondmunts. They are proposing amondmeiii alter amendment to inn constitutimi upon the .most transparent and frivolous pretexts, and are thereby demonstrating tlm fact tliut no matter wlmt the constitution may be, it oan bo changed at any time tn suit tlm peculiar purposes and views of the dominant party. Tlm odor of sanctity which has heretofore surrounded and protected tho constitution from assault w being rapidly dispelled, and if tho pres ent practice of amending it on all ocoa- siotiH is iierslated in, it will soon become tho (boiutdl of political parties and noth ing contained within it will amount to a guaranty fur anything. If tho Rudicul purty siteeoud this your In incorporating an anion lniout declaring llio inviolability of tlm national debt, another party which may bo in power a year or two Imnoe may pass another amendment declaring tlm debt unconstitutional, and that it shall not bo paid. One purty iu power hss ns much right to prqposo and carry through KnnttuununUi to tho oonftltution us any other party, nnd if Urn ruin is es tablished that the dogmas of patties shall bo mmlo parts of the organic law there will be no security for permanuney in the constitution from one Congress to another. The work ufone Qon&row W’ill ho overturned by the work of the next. The people will lose all respout for tho uonsutuLiou nnd Will change it to suit their wbinis os they do thoir clothes. The only real seourity for the pay ment of the national debt and the niainton- unco of tho national credit, is in the de velopment of the rnsou rocs of Urn coun try ; in the increase of its wealth ; in the oruution of ability lo pay not only the interest but the principal of the debt; in raising the oppressive loud of taxation which now presses down every branch of Industry irora the shoulders of tho people. This cannot bo done by persecuting tho people of a whole section of tho coun try, and that section the wealth produc ing section. Instead of purely*,ng tho energies of the people of the Booth, wo must sliiuulute lltoni to the very logout point of uctivity; wo must encourage immigraiiooand (he flow of capital to that desolate region, and by the lull om ployment of its wealth-producing re sources, swell tho volume of the national wealth* nnd reduce the rate ot taxation. As the Tate of taxation is reduced the people will become r.cnnuilud to the payment of the. debt, utal the danger of repudiation will be removed.

He seems tjo nearer a trial tlmn n yonr ago or tftofe. The Now York Tribune hno repentodiy spoken truthfully of the extreme wickedness in kupping him n clone prisoner, arid reftta- ing him tho constitutional right of a ppeedy trial. Wo tnko tho following from a recent number of tho Tribuno, which will bo read with undivided inter est: Eighteen months havo nearly elapsed since Jefferson Davis Wan made a Btnto prisoner, lie hud nay been pub licly charged, by the President of the United Status, with conspiring to usshh- sinnte President Lincoln, nnd #100,000 otfored for his capture,thereupon. The cupturo was promptly made nnd tho money duly paid : yet, up to this hour, there has not boon uv«n nn nttept mudu by tho Government to procure his indict ment on thnt charge. He has also boon popularly, if not officially accused of com plicity in the virtual murder of Union soldiers, while prisoners of war, by sub jecting them to ncodlure inhuman oxpo!- uro, privation ntid nbueo ; but no oflieiul uttornpt has been mado to Indict him oh thnt charge llo has boon indicted lor simple treason ; evon thin indictment has not boon obtained ut Hie instance of the Government. It nmy bo so badly drawn that no conviction could bo had on it. whatever tbo proof ndvuncod; yet the Executive ooulu Hay, “I am not re sponsible for this. Tho indictment was ootuUU'd without the assont or privity of my Attorney-General or cabinet. Repented attempts have boon mndo by the prifionor’s counsel to bring his case to trial, but to no purpose. Tho govuruuiont does not appear to prose* unto ; tho machinery of tho courts is al ways out of order. At one time mnrtinl law stands in the way; when thnt obstn* clo in removed, there is a cavil us to tho sufficiency or completeness of its with drawal; nnd when that will no longer serve, jt is founl that Congress has bohio- how disarranged the judicial districts, so tliut tho onso cannot safely be proceeded with. And Congress, ibscF, having moat inooneiderately meddled with tlm mat- tor, never took pains to inquire wlmt no tion on its part if nny, wan requisite ; so that now, Congress, i’resident and Chief Justice, nro in n complete muddle on the subject; each seeming inclined o throw nil responsibility fur lliodelayon ono ui both of tho others. Tho upshot of all thin is, thnt tho pris oner i« not tried, nor likely to be; nnd that, if tried, he ia morally pertain not to be oonviutod ; if convicted, not to bo pun ished. There m 0 st'll inutiy persons who would like to have him executed, but there is nnl one in elligcnt mnn on earth who has tho faintest nutitm that he ever will bo.
