In tbe discussion, that has continued lor three month, one of the most earnest an., tbie that has ever occurred in so American C ngrisa, the Democratic party bat main tained theae proposition*. It is not octet •ary to enter Into tbe detail* of tbe argu ment ; it is sufficient for my purpose to briefly recapitulate them. We Said that these measures to which we objected were ucconnUttitional ; we said that there were no such parsons a* a V iter of tbe United States at such ; tbs' every man who bad a right to vote, bad it because ol State au'bority and under State laws, and that, therefore, the federal gov er-meat not creating tbe voter, bad no power to interfere with bios ia tbe eer eiae of bis rights of franchise. We minted that under lb* laws a* they now stand there kno such a thing as a national election ; that under the provi sions of tbe ooostitatk-o.in order that there should be a national election 1 it wa* funda mental that congress sbojid fix tbe places timet and aimer ot bolding neb ciec lious. In that i veut thme might be a lie lioual e'ection, bqt :hal is not the eai* ; lor In every instance the times, places and manner ol hoiolug elecliouj am fixed b the ci n.tiluiiou and the laws ol the Slates, escrpt in a single instance as to the time. The Stiles having exercised power upon the subject there is no occa'iotl lor the ex ercise of power by the IL.ileU Slates ; arid to say that the Uoi’ed .ishues and each Sate al the same touepo'soie thu po ver ol fl tiny tin-tun , (dare mnnner ol hold ing elections, is t suy that tw> sovereign ties (M-ssess the |aiwi r to do the same thing ai the same time on *.lc same subject mat tvr, wliicli is lis.lt an alwurdily. We main tain ns to the army that it bet ig a creature oi Congress, it has no power l i t>e within ihc limiis ol the soveiclgit Statu* except a* the courtitntlon 61 ll.c United Stater pio vi.tes, and Unit o-.ly tor the purpose of sup/.re sfny domestic insurrection r rc pelling the armed enemies of the United States, and then only at the request of the Legislature thereof, ->t the Executive ol Slate, if the Legislature be not in session.

Confidently appealing only to tbe pa triotism of the country, the democratic party goes into the contest Never, in sll the history of ibis land, bave more Impor tant questions been submitted to tbe Amer ican people tor their determination.

One of the feature ol (Jp Johns river, FlorUls, is something remarkably strange it not an actual puzzle to bydrographvra. It bsfilrcsa ascertained by aciual scltniifle survey, that the surlace <-l Hie water at Its mouth U ouly three lecl sit inches Sower than What it U two bandied and filly tulle* above, lo other words, that tbe riv er has but an aver age fall ol leu than tbe sixth ol ao Inch to the mile. Another singular fact worthy ol coosl l eratlos : it has a course—ot betwoeo three anJ four hundred mile*. Ye*, it* source fa not mere tbao twelve mile* from the shore of the s*me ocesu 1010 which It empties itself.

Its great breadth In many placet quite a league, lead* to tills delusion; which, indeed, is not altsjdbcr a delation, three Instead of a river, it uiignt be Justly regarded as a scries of lazes, with a ‘light difference ol elevation, flowing isto one another.
