Annual sessions of tho Legislative body were among the things most desired by our forefathers when under kingly rule. Biennial msion is a step backwards in the march of improvement, only to bo accounted for in our Constitution by the timid and penny wise spirit which actuates demagogues in their hunt for public favor. To amend tho Constitution is out ol tho question. It will tako threo or four years todo it. Tho amendment must pas two Legislatures and then be voted on by the peoplo the oust ridiculous and impracticable feature in our present Constitution. Tho boys and girls who bhould bo educated will bo men and women beforo w can have a school law by tho present process ol umendmcnt. A presidential election with its stimulants and inducements to fraud will ugain have transpired, even should it fortunately happen that two Legislatures could agree upon an amendment, t and the peoplo concur with both. I Tho people have at all times tho inherent right to alter or reform their Constitution, and this right is expressly declared in Seo. 1, Art. 1, of ours. Xow is the timo to exercise it. A convention can meet and make u new Constitution, and adjourn, In threo weeks, with little cost to tho State, andinfinito profit. The present Legislature should pass a law calling a constitutional convention next IsTThimer, so that at tOlall election the people might ratify or rejoct their work. t?!u The Covington Journal says, that in Ohio, Black Kepublicunism is a terriblo thing, but in Kentucky it, is good enough for tho Democracy to fuse with.

Editor's and Publisher's Convention. Our co temporaries aro debating tho question among thcmmdvcM of whether it wculd be expedient for tho LcgiNlalurotopnssii law requiring tho publication of tho Stato Laws in nt least ono paper in each county. Wo havo always contended that tho laws of a State should be published in its local paper. It is a precedent that has been set and rigorously lired up to by almost every Slate in tho Union, ours being about tho onlv soliiarv exception. It is the only channel through which tho masses Van bo mado acquainted with tho laws which they uro bound to obey. Tko old axiom, that 'cvei'vman is bound to know the law has become obsoletu indeed it never should havo been otherwise. How a man is to know and obey tho provisions of a law which he never saw or road, is a question that wo never could settlo in n manner consistent with common sense. But we do not feel inclined to argue the point. Wo have dono that repeatedly heretofore. AVo merely wish to suggest tho propriety of holding a conventional In dianapolis soinelimo during the coming mouth, of all the editors and publishers of tho State. Of course if we expect to accomplish anything tho Convention must bo composed of nil parties, und polities in imt have nothing todo with it Through a convention of tins kind we may bo ablo to accomplish much good, and secure to ourselves many benefits which we do not now enjoy. Hy ageneral consultation together and comparing of notes wo Can easily determine where and in what manner we need protection. We aro decidedly in favor stich a convention, and nhvnyn have been.

If they agree with us, and should determine to hold such a convention, what do they say to WcdHcsdav. tho L'lith day ot January next, as tho time? - Of course, the convention should bo held at Indianap oli. Iiis the most !iccc:stblo point to a majority of the member of too cratl The above from tho Bushvillo Jiepublican, fully meets' our views, und we hope iho Press throughout tho Statu will heartily respond to tho suggestions named.

As Mr. Buchau an has effected moro wonderful things than the purchase of two or three votes in a State Legislature during hisadmin istration, we shall not doubt thorumoi although a change in that Legislature, if any occurs, seems more likely to favor Mr. Lincoln than the Buchanan candidate.

Publishing th9 Law. Wo arc already upon the record for publishing, and will thoro remain until somebody will satisfy us of tho justice of exacting obedienco to acts which not ono in n hundred aro ever permitted to rend. If it is right to hold a man to answer in damages in u civil action, or fine and imprison him in a criminal tatiso, for breaches of laws which the legislators never bring to his notice, then the presentpolicy is right; then an old dirty box in n dark corner of (he Clerk's onico is just tho place for the Statutes to mold and rot out. If on the other hand, tho relations of citizens one with another, and their duties nd obligations to tho fUato.nro imnortantto be understood, then enlighten them through tho ordinary channels cf information. Thero would bo more justice in keeping tho Statutes from the people, if their ignoranco of tho law could (to plead in palliation of offences and obligations created by them.

'Tho English-and Montgomery Affair -Tho New York Tribune's Washington correspondent states that tho account of tho .affray between English and Montgomery, already given, is unlair to tho latter gentleman, who makes tho following statement : " "I havo not spoken to Lnglish this session, or taken an)' noticeof him when we m t, as we have occasionally. The reason is that ho mado a speech o the crowd who serenaded him on tho night oftho passage ot his bill, In which h said 'lha't'ho had nssncisted with mound other anti-Lecompton Democrats, onlv to find out our l ins and defeat us. From that time I huve looked upon him as a treacherous spy, ami an unfit associate for gentlemen.- About noon today, I was walking down Pennsylvania Avenue, when I -,nw English coming toward mo holding out his hand, buying, 'How do you ifo, Mr. Montgomery?' I made no answer, but passed on without any sign of recognition. I had walked a few step, when I received Irom behind u very violent blow on the left side of my head, given -.with such force as for a moment to stngcer and confuse me. I hud not tho least idea who or what had struck me, but turning round, I saw English with a largo cane, which he had in both hands, and from the position in which he stood, ami tho direction of the blo.v, must have so held it when ho struck mo. Ho exclaimed, 'Goddamn you, I II teach you to insult mo in that way.' 4,He stepped backward quickly as ho .spoke.'' I rushed at him, and as I was .about to c!oo with him.hodrewa sword from a cane and presented it at mo.
