C7" In another colmttnill Jlie found an
acroutit of the Duel v-Hich took place at
Washington, and wfwch proved fatal to
Air. Cilley, a n)?ntbcr of Congress from
Maine. It sst bn hoped this tragical affair,
will le a-rialutary lesson to thojc in wliosc
hands rests the power to adopt more deoi-
' sivc laws against duelling.
' Tlio 'New Constitution
By tho politeness of Mr. Smith, of the
late Reform Convention, we have been fa
vored with a copy of tho Now Constitu--tutinn,
which shall be laid before par read
ers in our next publication. It contains
many amendments which we think, will
prove be neficial to the community at largo,
and although it was imposible for tiie Con-
- veiition to mako a Constitution that would
please all, yet if the people will give each
amendment its due consideration, it will find
friends sufficient for its adoption on the 2d
', Tuesday of October next.
The following changes, among others,
have been effected.
. '.The elettive franchise extended and col
oured person excluded.
Executive patronage reduced. '
The meeting of the Legislature takes
place in January annually.
Judicial tenure limited.
County officers and Justices of the Peace
elected.
Some restrictions on the Legislature in
. regard to granting charters of incorporation,
and corporate bodies restricted in regard to
entering on private property.
The Senate coupled with the Governor
in appointing Judges of Courts of Record
The Senatorial term reduced to three
years,.
Negro Suffrage.
- The Supreme Court of the United States
Unanimously decided that Negroes are not
r entitled to vote in Pennsylvania, Wo
trust this decision will allay the excitement
which has 'heretofore prevailed in some
counties of this state upon this subject
'engendering the most unpleasant feelings,
and opening the way to a moro fearlul agr
tation of the public: mind. Those infatua
4ed people who havo boon delndod by tho
' Siren song of run-mad fanatics, arc bring'
, ing'down upon the heads of our colored
raco the indignation of on infuriated popu
ulaoe.
Gen. Jackson.

Tho Spy at Washington.
Mr, Wise has boon busily engaged in
creating an excitement, for tho purpose of
consuming the time of tho House and the
money of tha people, about an article which
appeared in the Now . York Courier and
Enquirer, charging Mr. Ruggles, the. Sena
tor from "Maine, with corruption, which
charge has been proven to bo unfounded by
Mr. Ruggles himself. And who is this
"Spy at Washington?" it ig Mathew L.
Davis ! a man infamous by his intimacy
with Aaron Burr in all his schemes of trea
son, stratagem, and political and moral dis
honesty, and becaUEC this man has mado
an assertion, Mr. Wise thought it necessa
ry that an examination should take place
which has consumed two days, and cost at
least six thousand dollars.

ifon: .Tamcj Kuchanrui.
This gentleman has communicated to the
Speaker of the Senate his intentions to obey
tho instructions of the Legislature of this
State in relation to the bill of the lion. Silas
M. Wright, of New York, called the Sub
Treasury bill, and will consequently vote
for a postponement of that bill until the next
session. The resolution insltucling Mr.
Buchanan nniL-thc democratic members of
Congress from this Slate, also declares that
they have-full confidence in Martin Van
4nd in the wisdom and intelligence
of the Democratic Senators and rcprcscn
tames in Congress; and have further in-
structctj mem "to vote lor sucn a moue oi
receiving, keeping, and disbursing the pub
lie moneys, as will separate as far as prac
ticable the banks from the Government."
Mr. -Buchanan ellucidated apertiucnl
address the doctrine of the right of instruct'
tion declared it to be a lunuaniental doc
trine of the political creed of the Democratic
party a right sacrsd to that party, and
which should not be abandoned upon ques
lions of nlcre expediency. Whatever the
opinion of tile democracy of tho State may
be upon the Sub-Treasury bill, they cap
not but approve of the course of Mr. Buch
anan in relation tp the right of instruction
A that gentleman has justly observed, it
should be u strong case to induce a Sena
tor to resign bis post. Let the precedent
bo once established, that upon every diffr
ence of opinion the Senator should resign,
and the right of instruction will soon grow
into disrepute, and tho Senatorial term of
six years, as 'fixed by tho Constitution,
would terminate whenever such a conflict
of opinion might arise, and thus open still
wider tho flood-gates of corruption and po
litical chicanery.

AFFAIR OF HONOR. j
A cotiplo of convicts in an Ohio prison,
named Husky and Frnziar, lately quarrelled
respecting' the enormity of their several
primes. Ono liad been convicted of arson,
and the other of liorso stealing. Tho Mem
phis Gazette says:- .
"The incendiary contended, that burning
a mill was much moro' gentlemanly crime
than stealing a horse. While Frazicr, on
tho contrary, vehemently maintained iho
reverse, and insisted upon tlio honible vill
any that must invite a man to burn his
neighbor's house at midnight. The contest
waxed hotter and bolter, until at 1 last the
exasperated representatives of arson. and
horse stealing, flew at each other, nnd dor
termined by blows the question which they
could not settle b words. Frazicr was th'e
victor, thus proving beyond all question
that liorso stealing is. a far mote decent and
respectable crime than arson. Husky still
bears tho marks ol lujs defeat lit the shape
of sundry bruises about bis faife and eyes."
