As far as heard from tho Whigs have elected 98 members of Assembly, and the Van Burcn men 23. There are 7 mem bers yet to hear from, which last year were about equally divided; and consequently it may be reasonably inferred that the Whigs will have a large majority of (lie represen tatives; JCjThc man of the "Intelligencer" has a strange mode of exhibiting his amused feelings. They arc expressed with the same malicious grace which formerly crown ed his abuse of "our representative m Con gress." He has one particular genius that of magnifying matters to suit the vul garity and spleen of his descriptive facul ties, and in the exercise of that peculiar forte he is not excelled by the verricst of his cotcmporaries. TO THE EDITOR. -IlARRisnuno, Nov. IS, 1837. lhar Sir: I send you a sketch of the proceedings of tho Convention for the last few days. Since my last the committee of the whole completed their revision of the report of the committee on the 5th Article. Some amendments were rejected and some, not very important, were adopted. On the evening of the 0th inst. tho convention re solved itself into a committee of the whole on thp report of tho committee on the sev enth Article. Tho report of the committee proposes the following as a substitute for the first section of that Article, viz: "The legislature shall, as soon as conveniently may be, provide by law for the establish ment of schools throughout tho State in such manner that all children may be taught at public expense." This report was read and adopted without debate. Nov, 10th On motion of Mr. Inoku soll, the committee agiccd to re-consider this Section, and Mr. Inoersom. moved tho following amendment in lieu of the 1st s&ption of the report, viz: "Sect. 1. Tho wgislaturo shall provido by law for the im mediate establishment of Common schools in school districts in every county of the state, wherein all persons may receive in "Blruction at public expense, at least three months every year in the English and Ger man language, as may bo by law directed. This amendment was variously modified by the mover during tho debate. Mr. Head moved the following amendment as a substitute for tho above "The legisla ture shall provido by law for the education of all the children and youth of this com monwealth." Thin amendment was, lifter debate, disagreed to. Mr. Sturdevant 'of fered tho following amendment: "It shall bo the duty of the legislature to provide for tho establishment of such schools through out the Commonwealth as may be deemed necessary, in which all persons may be taught at the public expense." Negatived. Mr. Chamber? then offered the following. "Tho legislature shall as soon as conveni ently may be, provide by law, for the es tablishment of Common schools throughout the state." This it will be observed ii a ropy ofthc "present constitution, leaving out the special provision for tho poor. Nega tived, yeas 51 nays d8. Mr. Junes then offered the following: "The legislature, shall as soon' as conveniently may be, pro vide by law for the establishment of Com mon schools throughout the state, in sqeh manner that all tho children of the com monwealth may be taught therein." Neg atived, yeas 30 nays 71. Some other amendment was then offer ed changing rather the phraseology than the substance ofthc foregoing, when tho previous question was called and sustained by a majority of one vote. This cut off all the amendments pending and the main question on the report of the committee was decided in tho negative, yeas 47 nays 09. Mr. Chambers then moved an . a mendment to the old constitution (which after modification and amendment) reads as follows, to wit: "The legislature shall continue to provide by law for the estab lishment of Common sqhools throughout tho statej so that the benefits of education may bo extended to all persons in the com inonwcalth." Which was agreed to; yeas 02 nays 52. It will be observed that the members of the convention all agree as to the ncccssi ty and importance of education in Common schools, and only uifler in opinion as to the best mode of arriving at one common end. And some who stand firmly by the old constitution do So (as they say in debate) wholly with a view to prevent . excitement and to avoid unsettling tho school, system, which is but slenderly fastened in public cs timation as yet, in many sections of the state. On yesterday, (Nov. 11,) Mr. Stevens offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the President draw his warrant in favor of the Secretary for the sum of $350, to be paid to the Clergymen who have officiated as Chaplains to the convention, which they be requested to ac cept with the thanks of this convention. After some debate, it was decided in the affirmative; yeas 00 nays 58. Messrs. Hay hurst and Smith voted in the negative. The second Section ofthc report on the 7th Article came up in the following words: "The arts and sciences shall be promoted in such institutions of learning as may be alike open to all the children of the com monwealth." To which Mr. Chandler of Philadelphia, moved an amendment re commended by the minority of the commit tee, which he subsequently modified so as to road as follows, viz: "There shall be established by law a Commissioner of edu cation to be elected 'by the legislature for thiec years, who shall have thecaro and management of the public funds appropria ted by law to that object togothcr with the superintendence of common schools." Neg atived by a large majority. A motion was then made to incorporate manual labour schools into the constitution. Negatived by a largo majority. The committee how ever rose without taking a vote un the re port of tho committee. I expect the report will be negatived. WYOMING CLAIM. The people of tho Valley have recently held a meeting and drafted a memorial to Congress urging an appropriatipn "to the Old Wyoming suflerors, their Widows, Heirs, and legal representatives." It is an interesting document, and we shall publish itontiro in our next, as a succinct history of tho sad period of American suffering to which it refers. It is stated in tho Columbus (Ohio) Re gister that several ofthc Hanks of Ohio en tertain serious intentions of closing their banking business, and diverting their capi tal to some other species of investment which will promise a better return. In 18 30, tho charters of most of the existing in stitutions will expire. The Now York Gazette says: Wo un derstand that Mr. Southard will in a few days resign his seal in tho United Slates Senate, and that Mr. Frelinghuysen is like ly to take his place.
