Mr. Wise after being three day in enstody before Judge Dunlap. was last evening held in a recognizance of 83Q00, to keep the ptaee for one year within the District of Colombia, and not to leave:it for the purpose of Szliting a duel, (which is made fe!ory by the act of Congress.) Mr Stanley left the city on Tuesday .evening last, for the purpos&of avoiding the Marshal who woe in pormit, andel one time, was within half a minute of takirg him. *He proceeded to Blau burg that night, where he slept, and arrived in Baltimore the next morning but he remained there nut more than! half an hour. it had been previ. tousle, (nn .Monday,) agreed between Mr. Wise .and ti friend of Mr. Stanley, That the tam should be in Baltimore on Wednesday, with friends, for the purpnge ortitecueszng the matters of personal differenee'bet Wenn them, 'with a view to an ami cable or-other adjustment of theca The arrest of Mr. Wise prevented this arrangement being carried into.uffect, and on his being bound over, the same friend of Mr. Stanley came forward and voluntarily released Mr. Wise from the engage ment. He acted in this as he had before upon his own..responsibility, and tinder a sense of what was due from one gentleman to another. eirctimstaneed as Mr. Wise is. Mt Stanley mill therefore t retorti to this city, probahly to.morrnw, and the matter will be left in sialti quo till after the Vhjaurnment of Congress. Whether it can be arliustod in the meantime. without a resort to deadly weapons remains to he seen; far my own part I hope it may be. At all events we most give the act of Congresa, and the civil authority who enforced it, the credit of Waving , for the prei- ent, et least, prevented a duel, in which, in all ho. man probability, 'one party,St not both, would Lade fallen."

Spurn the first symptoms of civil war:" As the .origin of the difficulties in this State are not generally known, we copy the following from tho. New Yotl Tribune, which ,gives a cor rect history of the pipceedings . of the two parties from the commencement to the present time: The Rhode Island Question.' We have receive) several requests to give a his tory of the present trouldee in Rhode Island freim the outset. To do this fully and intelligibly would require a page of our paper, which we cannot now spare. Had we not been at Washington when it appeared, we should have tried hard to crowd into our columns Mr.. Doirs' Message, which gives a pretty fully and accurate though one-sided account of the whole difficulty. But the simplest state ment of the case is this : the original constitution of Rhode Island was a Charter from the British Crown in 1663—a meat liberal and excellent one for the time, but rather out of date now. This Charter allowed the Colony, as a body politic, to admit Freemen to its political privileges and du ties—a power which, three years thereafter, was transferred to the towns. In 1724 a definite and uniform property qualification of One Hundred Potindre value of Real Estate was established. In 1762 the qualification was reduced to Forty Pounds, or $134, of which it has ever since re. inained. The oldest son of a freeholder is enti tled to vote without:pesnssing property. It is easily perceived that this qualification, to say nothing of its intrinsic demerit,is an extreme ly imperfect and arbitrary one. Under it, men who pay two-thirds of the Taxes and perform most of the Military duty required, may be excluded from voting. Nay, it is possible that a single in dividual, by buying up all the Land to the State, may become the only' person entitled to exercise Political power withiri its borders! Of course, this does not answer fur the Nineteenth Century. du long as the State was essentially Agricultu- • ral, however, the practical operation of this system was not very 'oppressive. Almost every adult male citizen of intelligence and character was a Freeholder, or the son of one, who could easily set him off a little patrimony to render him one. The Freehold qualification gave stability to the Government, created an. attachment to the sell, tended to multiply land-owiters and -distribute widely the proprietorship of the soil. Probably down to MO Rhode Island was more essentially Republican, Socially and Politically, than many States enjoying a more liberal Constitution. But thit Charter still remained; and reinsins, the fundamental law; and, though many MOdifi: cations of its provisions have been Made from time to time by acts of the,Legislature, the Suffrage Provi,ion remained unchanged, and every drift to amend it was steadily resisted by e decided ma jority. Different parties have from time to time borne sway—Federal, Democratic; Adams, Jack son ; Whig, Van Boren—but they have all alike resisted every effort to liberalize Suffrage. The Ratio of Representation, too, which was just and equal when first adopted, has become very far from this in the lapse of time; so that Providence has now fewer Representatives than Newport, with one-fourth its population; and while 30,000 People in the former have but four members, the same number in the Agricultural portions of the State choose forty Members, or more than a ma jority of the House. This, too, has become a se rious theoretical grievance, though practically the mijorily of the voters has seldom failed to secure • - ajority of the Legislature—quite as seldom, we think, as in any other State. Te transition from an Agricultural to a Man • • wring community has developed and oggrava• ted the theoretical defects of the Rhode Island frame of Government. Thousands of her best and most intelligent citizens arenow engaged in Man- ufaeturing and Mechanical; avocations, which do not lead them to become landholders,, and thus leave them without the Right of Suffrage, While it collects them in a newly-created cities or villages, which have comparatively no weight in the State Councils. The same amount of Property, of In telligence, or number of persons, has not half the Political Power in the Manufacturing as in the agricultural portions of the State. ' ( And it may he remarked, that the Agricultural portion of the State, though, inveterately hostile to Freo Suffrage and Equal Representation, styles itself o Demo cratic.!" and gives Loco-Foco majorities, while the Free Suffrage portion of the State is Whig. But all old distinctioiaa mellow merged and lost in the excitement of the new question.) , The first effrrt fur 'a more liberal Suffrage was made in ,1811, when e bill-to extend the Right to all %It h? kid Taxes or performed Military , duty passed the Senate, but was lost in the House. In 18190829, 1832,-end 1834, irregular and par tial efforts were made by the non-freeholders for a Reform, arid in the last a-Suffrage Party was for med, but as only Freeholders vote, it made but little headway. In t 824, a legal Convention fra med a Constitution ; but a proposition to extend the Right of Suffrage received only three votes.— The Constitution thus formed was voted dovin. In 1834, another legal Convention assembled, but adjourned without submitting a Constitution. a /Thus things rem ned down to 1840, when she. ring in the -political exhilaration of the time, the nori-Freeholdera an others friendly to a more Lib eral' Suffrage filmed Associations in Providence and other large eurrmunittes.to promote - their ob ject:. .. , ' Tfiev - petitioned the legislature of 1841 (January) for redn'irs„ and by that Liislature'r - - .

'They held a 'Mass Meeting or volunteer -Convention at Providence on. the 17th of April, 1841; another at Newport on the Bth of. July - thereafter, where they issued 'a call for a Delegate Convention to meet in Providence in October (beta° the legally called Convention, which had already been surucnoned.to meet there in Novem ber) and form a People's COnstitution. Well: Elections for each of. these Conventions Were held in the seversl .Cities end Towns; for thit former by the regular Town Officers; for the latter by whoever choose to hold them. Delegates were chosen, each Convention assembled and for med a Constitution—the suffrage one immedi ately;, the legal one not till February or March. Each was on the whole a pretty good Constitu tion, but the 'Suffrage" -rather the more liberal of course, but the, Landholders or legal convention admitted every native citizen who had resided two years in the State to all Political Rights without any Property or Tax qualification whatever. (Our impression is that Adopted citizens Were required to possess some property, but Mr. Dort says noth ing of it and we have not now time to trace back our files.) Mr. Doer objects, however, that this Constitution did not wholly, though it did partly, remedy the existing inequalities in rho Appor tionment of Representatives. Tbe ..Suffrage Party" Constitution was sub mitted to the People (including all whom it ad mitted to-she Right of Suffrage) for ratification;' and as no body but its advocates deemed it of any legal validity; it had no opposing votes. But, as it was deemed necessary to procure for it the votes of a majority of all those in whom it declared the Political power to justly reside, its friends resorted to the novel expedient, after holding the Polls three days open for votes, to receive proxies (votes sent in by persons who could not or "rid not attend the polls) for three days longer ; and in cluding these, they obtained in all 13,944 votes ; whereupon, computing the whole number of male adult c itizens at 23,142, they declared their Con stitution adopted and established as the paramount law of the State, by a majority of 4,746. The 'old line' was less fortunate. In the first place, the mass (riot all) of the Suffrage party voted against the legally formed Constitution because they were determined to retain the validity of their own ; then a portion of the Free-holders al so voted against it because they were averse to so liberal (if any) extension of Suffrage, especially in view of the stand taken by the Suffrage men ; others would not vote at all. The result was the defeat of this Constitution by a vote of 8,669 to 8,013, of 677 majority. Thus the Government party were thrown back upon the' old Cheater, in defianc4 of their wish and their effort to concede a more liberal suffrage ; while the sSuffraie' party contended that their Constitution had been legal; . ly adopted and-was now the paramount law of the State. 111 s otto of 3tems '(Original and Selected.)
