I said that we had called a Convention and had amended iur U nst tution by abolishing slavery in that St ife, a-State set embraced in ■li.- proclamation. This met his ap probation and gave him encouragement, Violin talking upon'the amendment to the Con-'iturion, i.c said; When the amendment, t.o the Con stitution is adopted by three-ft ucihs ol* the States, We shall have all*or pretty mar all lam in tavor of .amending the Constitution, i. there was eae oth> er adopted Said 1.

They may seem to succeed for a time but their attempts will be futile. They may think now that it ! can be done by a concurrent resolution, ; but when it is submitted to the popu lar judgment and the popular will, they will find that they might as well have und *rtaken to introduce a resolution to repeal the laws of gravity as to keep this l tiion from beiug ri stored, it i just about as feasible to resist the law ; ol gravitation, which binds alt to a ‘ common centre, as that great law which . will bring back these States to thoir tegular relation with the Union.

According-to the late speech of Secretary Seward, the Freed man's Bureau will expire twelve moi from the date of the t’resi lent’s proclama tion, declaring the war at an end, nd the rebel Stab's restored to all t In ir rights and privileges under, the Ceastitutiou. As tlii proclatnation has n t yet been issued, there is no telling how long the Bureau is yet to remain. We were under the impression, that the Bureau expired at theend of one year from the cessation of hosdliiies, but it seems that the war is not yet at an end. nor can be so considered until a proclama tion is published to that effect. The Radi cals. t'.ien, had no need of extending it ; but it seems that they were as blind as our selves, ifot perceiving that lie “one year after the restoration of peace’ commenced with the date of the peace.proclamation hereafter to be issued. liO.\, AIiE\A>'DEB SS.
