Mr. LOVEJOY HAS FALLEN A VICTIM TO THE LAW LESS SPIRIT OF SLAVERY, which seems determined, every where, not even excepting our own county, to place itself ABOVE the Law and the Constitution, to im pose sraivtinr or DEATH upon every free man who has the independence to assert the rights of an American citizens Mr. Lovejoy, sometime ago, established a.Press in Alton, in which he advocated the claim of every human being to enjoy the inalienable right of Liberty. Theopponents of Abolition destroyed his press by a mob! —He bore .it meekly, and established ano ther press at the same place. The same savage mob, the friends of Slavery, de stroyed it a second time! He purchased e new press, determined to maintain his rights or die like a true patriot in defence ,Of them! The "Friends of the integrity .of the Union" resolved that his conduct was incendiary, and should be stayed by force! They assembled todestroy his pro party again, and because be would .not tamely submit, MURDERED Hlffifros , See the following extract from 1114- ton Telegraph of the Bth inst. '"LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE. 4 , It is with the deepest regret that we stop the press to etate,that at a late hour last night an attack was made, by a large num ber of persons,on the ware-house of Messrs. Godfrey, Gillman dr, Co. for the,purpose of destroying a press intended for the revival of the Alton Observer: which, shocking to relate, resulted in the death of two individ uals—the Rev. E P. Lovejoy,late Editor of the Observer, and a man named Bishop. Seven others were wounded; two severely, and the others slightly. We can add no more at this thitne, than that the assailants succeeded in effecting their object." While we tremble for the lute of our country, we cannot preventthe blood's boil ing in our veins when we see such delibe rate attempts to FORCE Slavery upon us, and those criminal attempts finding no law strong enough to punish them{ The pro slavery presses notice it with a cold cen sure; or, more generally, like the Sentinel, endeavor to cast the, odium upon the fear less and pure martyr who has fallen a vic tim to his love of freedom 1 Christians— aye! professing Christians look on such li centious mobs with something of approba bation—or, what amounts to pretty much the same thing, they condemn the Aboli tionists for exercising the ordinary rights of Freemen—the right to think and speak freely!- Can it be that (with them) Reli gion is but a name? Or are those profess edly pious Clergymen and Laymen who advocate Slavery, but "Wolves in Sheep's clothing?" Further Part &attars. ory•After the above was put in type, we have received the subjoined statement, furnished by the Alton Correspondent of the Cincinnati Journal: "On Monday night, the obnoxious press.so long looked for, arrived. Its friends had taken the pre caution to have it landed late in the night, when it was supposed a mob would hardly be raised.— They took the further precaution to have about 50 armed men secreted in the ware-room, ready for the service of the Mayor, at any moment. While the press was landlng,the spies of the enemy were seen lurking about; and the sound of their horn was raised, shrill and long. But whether the enemies of peace and order were buried too deep in the arms of Bacchus and sleep,or whether they feared the formidable preparations that were made to receive them. I know not. There wore no fur ther molestation than the throwing of a stone or two, while the press was removing into the wa r e. room of Messrs. Godfrey, Gilman & Co. Things remained quiet yesterday. saving the threats and Imprecations that were heard along the streets 'i vied Mr. Lovejoy and the press. Mr. L's life was threatened openly and repeatedly. The At torney General of the State was beard to say em phatically and significantly that "Mr. L. would be killed - within two weeks." Soon after dark. them wara unwonted gather lags in certain C.MTe•- is4lo/11110. Hers the spirit of vengeance which bad -bariarrryttibling in their breasts,was excited lodes. by spirits behind the counter By about 41. they were prepared lot Cite work. Accordingly they repaired to the ware-house of Godfrey. Gilman & Co. They commenced the attack by hurling volleys of stones-through the windows and doors. Mr. W. S Gilman appear. ed in the door of the 2d story, and addressed the mob in his peculiarly kind and impressive man ner. He earnestly and ' affectionately advised them to desist from violence; told them the prop erty was left with him on storage, that ho was bound to protect it. Assured them that nobody :tithe building bad any ill will against any of them and that they should all deprecate doing any of them any injury. At the same time, ho assured them that the press would not be delivered up. but that he and his associates would defend it at the risk and sacrifice of their lives. He was an swered by a freak volley of stones. Those inside then disposed themselves at the different doors and windows, and prepared to defend it to the last. They all agreed that no gun should be fired till the doors were burst open, or till there was tonne firing from without. Volley after volley °faience were hurled into the windows and against the doors, then a gun was fired into the window from I the mob. A2d gun was fired. The balls wore heard to whistle through the window, but neither of them did any injury. At this juncture, one of the party within. with the consent and by the ad vice of the rest. levelled-his gun upon the mob One.inan fell. mortally wounded. His associates took him upend carried him away to a physician, and the mob dispersed. The young man died in about half an hour. The mobiles have to.day ta ken a great deal of pains to send abroad the Mi. pressbm that this young man was a stranger,and was present only as a spectatar and wok no part in the riot. But I have ascertained that thole is 110 truth in this statement. Ho was a carpenter by trade, and was at work yesterday for Air. Hoff, and was heard repeatedly to boast during the day of the past he intended to act last night. I have just been told also, by a very respectable citizen, that he saw him just before he was shot, very ac tively engaged in throwing stone-i into the win. down. I learn that his name was Bishop, i ecent ly from Gennessee county, New Yolk. In about an hour after the mob had had time to re vive their spirits. and recruit their courage in the a foresaid Coffee Houses. they returned with increased nurnbcra.and armed with guns and muskets, &c. and recommenced the attack with renewed violence.— They formed ou the east side of the store, where there are no doors or windows and occasionally a fire was given from each party. 021- Whiskey was bro't and distributed profusely among them, and all were exhorted to be "good men and true!" Occasionally one of the mob was heard to sing nut OcV-"if any more Guns and Whiskey are wanted, away to the French Coffee Houser Defiled in their attempts to gain ad mittance into the store by the doors and windows, they resolved, unanicuntisly,with a shout which cleft the air, "TO FIRE THE BUILDING, and shoot every damned abolitionist in it as they should at tempt to escape." Accordingly a ladder was made, and combustibles prepared, and a man ascended the roof. Presently it was in ablaze. Meantime the com pany within sent out a detsrliment of four or five of Miele number to prevent it. Mr. Lovejoy was of the souther. Tbc mas on the ladder was fired at and wounded. Just about this time,Mr. Lovejoy, who stood near the ladder, was delibrately aimed at by a man who stood a few yards from him and shot down. Ile jumped ep after he was shot, went into the counting-room, exclaiming. "I am shot, I am a dead man!" and fell down and expired in a few minutes! Those within perceiving the building on fircond that it,together with its valuable contents,must inevitably be destroyed.and the press which they were defend. ing with it,proposed to capitulate. They were assur ed by those those without, that if they would with draw from the building, and leave their arms behind them,not one of them should be molested. They ac cordingly left the building,and as they were going out of the door and turning the corner, al.post every one of them were fired at. Mr. Roff received _a ball in one of his legs, which has not yet been extracted. It is apere'hended that his leg will have to be amputed. His clothes were perforated with several boles, and one shot entered his MSC near his eye, wh ch bled profusely. Mr. Weller, of the firm of Gerry & Weller, received a ball in his leg.but it is thought the bone Is not fractu red. Several others have their clothes perforated with balls. They were pursued and fired after in e very direction,till none of them could be found. The mob their entered uninolested,threw out the press and demolished it. At about 2 o'clock they dispersed. It is said sever al of the niobium were seriously wounded. They are however concealed by their friends. There were 18 men in the building, with about 36 stand of arras, be sides small arms: they were not dersirous ofdestroy lug life„or they might Lave shot down 50 of the riot ers as easily as one. The Mayor was heund to ex pires the opinion to-day, that that there were of the rioters from 150 to 200; of whom 50 to 80 were armed. Our young and worthy Mat-or exerted himself, and did what he could to disperse the mob. But his kind admonitions were only returned by curses. A certain Grog-seller in town etond a short distance from the mayor and vociferated that "if any one of their num ber was arrested by the civil authorities, he was au thorised to say he shall be rescued by force of arms.' What is civil authority here! and what can civil authority do? But I am udmonished by my watch,that the mail soon leaves,and that I must come to a close. or 'could state other particulars, and dwell a little upon the causes which have brought about these ea lamitous results. The immediate cause, however, which emboldened the mob,was the same hers as that which preceded the famous riots of your own peace ful city. A public meeting was got up,and resolutions were not driving Mr. Lovejoy from the city, but just strong enough to excite and embolden the mob to do it. The Attorney General of our goodly State took a very conspicuous part in this meeting. He came out in an iutlammatory speech. in which he a bused,by evert epithet he could command , Slr. Love joy and his associates, and the ministers of religion in general. He denounced Mr. L. at one time as a ve ry wicked fellow--at another as a fanatic who was ut terly beside himself, and ought to be taken care of. But be did not . yet hand hime over to the tender mer cies of the mob. Oh no! I will testify for him, that he said expressly that "he would not advise that that man's property or person should be sacrificed, -un til the peace ofthe city required it." But at the same time he plainly intimated by the turn of his eye,and the peculiar expression of his counteuanee, that that time was not far distant! A Reverend Clergyman of our city followed in a speech in which ho attempted to explain the doctrine of exprdiency.reminded the meeting that St. Paul's friends thought it expedient•on ono oc. cession to let him dozen in a basket from the wall, and let him go. Whatever may have been the intention of the speaker, it was manifest that the audience were willing to construe it as a good precedent for them to dispose of Mr. Lovejoy.— Hut I must stop immediately or lose the mail.— Yon will doubtless hear more about these trans. actions soon: adieu." Z= -After copying the above, the Philadelphia National Gazette says:—The twenty-second sec tion of the seventh article of the constitution of the State of Illinois, says: •The printing presses shall be free to every person who undertakes to examine the proceedings of the General Assembly, or of any branch of government, and no law shall over be made to restrain the right thereof. The free communi -laden of thoughts and opinions is one of the invaluable rights of man; and every citizen may freely speak, write, and print, on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of the liberty."— We revive this constitutional privilege, as many sensible people deny the right of freedom of opin ion on a great question of national moment. Our liberties are as smoke, if such foul murders as that of Alton are justified or even palliated; our con stitution is as a farce, and we shall become the pitiable and despised laughing-stock of the whole world, if such desperate acts of bloody tyranny find the support of Americans.

ALL HAIL!..4TWO'POLLIES AFLOAT! ON BOARD TILE TWO POLLIES, Rockaway,L. I. Nov. 11, 1837. To the Editors of the New York Daily Express: GENTLEMEN-4 thank you for sendin me the paper regularly,--but I haintJiad time to write to you now for some time. I believe my last letter tell'd you about the condition of Uncle Sam and his buttons, but I am not saran. I have now the satisfaction to tell you— end %on may tell it to all creetion—that the "Two Potties" is oiloat,and this nigh upon the •vriy it come about: Some weeks ago I got a letter from Uncle Joshua, tellin roe to keep a sharp look out on the tides along a bout the Beginning of November—that they had had a plagy high one down there in Maine—and shortly before that there was a considerable rise in Rhode Island, and it would earthily be the same all along shore, and aceordin to his kalkation, there would he a real rouser along by York State some where from the first to the mid le of this month; and that if I ever expected to git the "Two Follies" off: this was the time to keep a sharp look•out ,for Congress had dune nothin to help at the last session, and might not at the next. And sure enut,on the jest at sunrise; it began to rise, and every followin tide kept gem a beetle beyond the last one; and by sundown of the 8111—" The glorious Bth of Noiember"— the Two Poi lies begun to lift out of the sand, and roll— and to rights up she come on an even keel and swung off to her anker, which had been run out into deep water. The next mornin the folks begun to gath er along shore, and every livin critur who could git off, all come on board—and rich a time as we had there for a spell, I kalk late haint been seen for many a day on board a vessel, sound as ever in her hull, but wan• tin spars, nubs, and riggin. My old friend Zekel Bigelow was among the visitors, and and nothin would do but he must deli%er an address to the folks—and he is,vou Icnow,a complete hand at that—and so up he got on the windlass, and did pore it out there for a bout half an hour, most awful. He stood like a tea-pot, one rirni a kiiiiho and tother spoulin—and sich a stream!! there was no gittin by it. fie thanked everybody arid em u thing, that had any hand in g ettin the T%%4 Follies off shore--he said the same causes would lift more folks out of the mud than we had env notion on—for that the Two Follies was not the only object that had been run on shore by the wickedness, & the ignorance and selfishness of some folks, and when he come to speak of them folks, and tell how and why all this trouble had been brought on the country entirely by their wickedness, their i,;norance,and their wilfulness, he just took up his swill tub and 'emptied the hull scrape on't right over em. I never in my born days hearn the like! A rter this address was over,we gave three times three good hearty cheers,aud tho Two Follies, she rolled from side to side, like a good natured laugher, first one scupper in and then tother, just as though she was La kin part in the fun ; and which she had a right to do. The Two Follies, as I said afore, is sound in her hull, and all her ground tackle is as good as ever: but she wants refittin, and as yet, I am a !exile puzzled to know which port to carry her to for an outfit. Somelhink she ought to be rigged on a new plan, rind that a "convention of riggers" is to meet in New York on the 27th of this month, to fix upon a plan for riggin vessels generally.— This being the case, I dont know but it is beat to take the Two Pollies to New York, and let them all take a look at her, and then decide. I must say, I haint got much con fidence in any "new rig," especially if it has any thing like an "experiment" about it— all I know about it is, the Two Ponies was a clipper in her day, and with the rig she had, and unless I am sartina that a change will he best, I wont give my consent. As the Two Pollies was never abandoned to the underwriters by the owners, who are all of the "dont give up the ship" order—there wont be any trouble on that score—but more of this in my next. Well, now about the late elections. What in natur has got into folks? What has be. come of "the party?" Do tell, now—l want to know l!! 1 have hearn tell of "knocking folks into the middle of next week"—but if the news I got is only half true, you wont find some folks for a good many weeks to come—"Sich a gitten up stairs"—(as they say down in Georgia)—l never hearn on Ohre— why - it seems to me them plagy Whigs have hoed out tother party completely and not left enuf for seed. - 1 hear tell you are gain to have a jollifica tion on this matter on the 22d inst.—l must git the Two Pollies up to town by that time, if possible,and take a hand in it—but I hope it will be one of that kind that will do more good than evil. Now I'll tell you what my notion is about it, and what 1, for one, mean to do-1 mean to make a kalklation of what it would cost to illuminate the biggest house (if I had one) in the city—then I would, in stead of spendin this money in this way, jist lay it by till the winter comes, and either take it myselfor give it to a ward committee, to buy wood or coal for such families as by misfortune are sufferin and destitute—l would make no distinction or parly,but wher ever there were found sufferin women and children, there 1 would go and make an il lumination in their stoves or fire places—this is the kind of illumination I hope every good Whig will go for, and take my word for it, it will bring blessings on the cause and the party. This course will be rank poison to the leadin dimigogues of the Loco Foco party —they are the . chaps that tell the ignorant but honest poor that the Whigs are their very worst enemies,and some believe it,when it is well known—and none know it better than these Loco Foco leaders, especially the Buffalo tribe—that it is a rank lie. There are no people in the wide world more charita ble than the American people. I know it— and who dares deny it? Let any man go abroad—and then come home—and then hear what he says about it. Weil then, if this is so, who is it gives liberality of the fruits of his indiistry,the man who has some thin, or the mall who has militia—and yet we hear some of these Loco Foco dimigo gans, who are too idle to work foi an honest livin, talkie round among the ignorant and the wicked, and tellin 'em to join - in the cry of down with the rich, and tryin, in fact, to make it appear a sin in any man to have more with his industry and virtue, than they have with their idleness and wickedness. I dont like to trust myself in writin more on this matter, as my dander alWays begins to lift when I think on't. But about•this jollification talk'd on, I dont see that better could be done than the plan I propose,and I hope something as nigh like it as possible will be adopted; however, I dont know but. we must have soinethin by way of markin this election; and instead of an illumination, let a big gun tell the story from every hill t0p,76 times— 'Slam. Bang" —from the sea shore to the lakes and back agin—and I call on my friend Prentiss, of the "Louisville Journal" away over in old Kentucky-, to charter that big thundercloud he promised a spell ago,•to let off a real rower, and I hope every State will take its own time in jinin in with this victory, till it comes round thro' old Virginny, and let the last roar of the big guns he heard on the day when Congress gits toge , her, jest to tell the folks there, that the wind has shifted and its high time to tank ship. And as regards returnin thanks flu. blessin's the Governor has already appoint• ed a day fur a general thanksgivin all over the Stale, and if any man will read that "proclamation" now, he will see that the Governor must had a notion that in addition to good crops and good health, good sound constitutional principles would be establish ed— and now if all these aint worth being thanked fOr then are we most ungrateful.— As a day then is appointed by the Goverhor, let us all, as our good old fathers and grind fathers did befoie us, go to church and have a good sermon and jine in the sarvices of praise and thanksgivin and then come home and git the family together, and invite in as many as there is room for and who haint got no family, and if there be any punkins in creation I hope they wont be neglected; and I hope no man of the role grit will, nn that day, fail to top oWn thanksgivin dinner with a ginuine punkin pie, and do all in his power to see that his poorest neighbor has one too. 1 somehow feel sure things go right when punkin pies are respected; our pious and patriotic fathers patronized them—and no two things, in my mind, seem to hinge together so snug, and have hung together so long as Patriotism and punkins. Your friend, and obd't serv't, J. DOWNING, Major, Downingville Militia, 2d Brigade. ANECDOTE OP TIIE VICE PRESIDEXT.—The New York Mercantile Advertiser, gives the follow ing anecdote in a letter from Washington: An old revolutionary soldier being on a visit at Washington, called upon Col. John son and requested him to introduce him to the President. This the Colonel readily con sented to do. They found the President sit. ting with his son. The introduction was made accompanied on the part of Colonel Johnson, with the remark, that his old friend did not agree with M r. Van Buren ivolttics. "True," said the old chap, somewhat morti fied at this malapropos commencem'nt of the acquaintance, "I do not approve ofyour measures, Mr. President, hut I am not more hostile to you than Col. Johnson, for it was only yesc i rday that he told me "you had not done one thina right since you came into o . ice." ._*,!,e, ! ,.-,- The three packet ships Diamond, Corde lie and Franklin, which sail from N.

IMPORTANCE OF A SINGLE VOTE.—Tho Boston Courier states that a gentleman in that cit) from Plymouth, not getting thro' with his business until after the departure of the stage,took a chase for home, feeling, as he did, the importance of even one vote. That town gave a Whig majority of one vote! Bear this in mind.

Laid on the table. The following resolution was offered by Mr. Woodward and adopted: Resolved, That the Secretary be authorised to convey to Philadelphiafor the use of the Conven tion, one copy of the several Journals of the Sen ate and House of Representatives of this State. The following was offered by Mr. Kerr and a dopted: Resolved, That when this Convention shall meet in Philadelphia on the 28th inst. each mem ber shall have the privilege of retaining the same or corresponding situation he now occupies in this Hall. M. Dickey called for the second reading and consideration of - the resolution submitted by him yesterday relative to discharging the committee of the whole on the seventh article of the cunstitu tion,&c. which was refused—yeas 48, nays 67.

The second section of the snid report being under considera tion as follows, oThe Arts and Sciences shall be promoted in such institutions of learning as may be alike accessible to all the children of the Corn monwealth"—on motion of Mr. Chandler,of Phil. the same postponed for the present. Thevame gentleman then moved to amend the report of the Committee,by inserting the following new section: Section 2. There shall be established by law a Commissioner of Public Education,to be elected by the Legislature fur the term of three years, who shall have the care and management of the public funds appropria• fed by law to that object, together with the superintendence of Common Schools. Various amendments to the above were propos sed and rejected, when the committee rose and the convention adjourned. HARRISBURG, November 16, 1837 Mr. Chandler, of Chester, presented four peti tions from citizens of Allegheny and Chester coun ties,praying that the right of trial by jury may be extended to all; and Mr. Lyons presented a petition from citizona of Delaware county, remonstrating against any con stitutional provision for the further observance of the Sabbath. Which were laid on the table. Mr. Sterigore presented two petitions from citi zens of Bucks county,for a constitutional provision prohibiting black citizens from the right of voting. Which were laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Mi. S. presented two petitions from citi zens of Montgomery, somewhat similar to the a bove and moved that they might also be laid on the table con! printed. This motion gave rise to a protracted discussion, in which Messrs. Cox, For ward, Hopkinson and others participated. Mr }Hester moved so to amend the motion that the petition merely be printed without the signa tures. The previous question was then called for by Mr, 'Woodward and others and sustained; the main question, being'the motion to print and lay on the table, was agreed to—yeas 84, nays 29. The following resolution was submitted by Mr. Konigmaker and laid on the table: Resolved, That the printing of petitions or memorials to this convention will hereaf ter be dispensed wit li,unless ordered by two• thirds of the members present. Mr. Agnew submitted the following resolution, which was laid on the table: Resolved, That from and after the 27th inst. the 37th rule of this convention shall be so altered that the same shall read as fol lows: None but the Members of the Con. vention and its Officers ; the Mayor,Record er,and members of the Councils of Philadel• phia, and such Stenographers, Reporters or other persons as shall have permission given by the President,shall be permitted to come within the bar of the Convention during its sessions.

Mr. Clarke, of Indiana, and Mr. Mann moved a re-consideration of the resolution offered yesterday permitting the members to retain the same or cor responding situations after adjournment to Phila delphia, which was refused. The Convention also refused to proceed to a second reading of the resofution offered by Mr. Magee, in May last, prohibiting the future emigra tion into the State of free persons of color and fu gitive slaves from other States or territories. On motion of Mr. Earle, the Convention pro ceeded to the second reading & consideration of the resolution offered by him the 11th inst. instructing the committee on accounts to report whether any measures could be properly taken to diminish the expenses of the convention,&e. Mr. Earle then modified his resolution, giving the committee un til the 20th to make report. Mr. Hayhurst then moved to strike out "committee on accounts," and insert "a select committee to consis' of seven dele gates," which was agreed to, and the resolution as amended, passed—Messrs. Earle, Maclay, For ward, Fry, Cunningham, Weaver and Cox were appointed as the committee. The convention then again resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the report of the com mittee. The second section being under consider ation, in the following words: "The arts and sci ences shall be promoted inouch institutions of learning as may be alike open to all the children of the commonwealtth," Mr. Fry moved to amend the report of the committee by striking therefrom all after "as" and inserting in lieu thereof the fol lowing: "the legislature may from time to time deem necessary," which was disagreed to, and the report of the committee was agreed t 0,98 to 13. The second section of the constitution being then under consideration in the words following : oThe arta and sciences shall he promoted in one or more seminaries of learning," a motion was made by Mr. Brown, of Phil. to amend the same by striking therefrom all after the word "in" and, inserting in lieu thereof the words "such institu tionsof learning as may be established by the le gislature for the purpose of giving a higher educa tion to those who may qualify themselves for such in the common schools,and shall be open to nu others." Lost—the committee then toms and the convention took a reccea until 8 o'clock. This afternoon the convention again - wept:in- . to committee of the whole.

Mr. Read commenced a speech in support of his amendment, which is said by the knowing ones to be the same as that published by him last summer, with a few slight modifications. It a bounds with the delightful phrases which are so admirably adapted to the Democratic Republican Van Buren ear, such as "bank aristocracy," obank palaces," and many others that have emanated from the Kitchen at Washington, manufactured by Kendall, Blair & Co. to relieve the community from the distress and ruin they have brought up on them by the disastrous policy pursued by them for the last few years. Mr. Read read (not ad dressed) the committee about an hour and a half, w h en h e gave w a y to a motion fur the rising of the committee, and the convention adjourned.— To-morrow, I presume, we will have the sequel of this tirade against some of the best institutions with which any country was ever blessed. HARRISBURG, November 17, 1837. Mr. Sellers presented a petition from citizens of Montgomery County for a constitutional provi sion prohibiting colored persons from the right of suffrage. Laid on the table. On motion of Mr. Konigmacker, the resolution offered by him yesterday, relative to the printing of petitions or memorials was read the second time, considered and adopted. On motion of Mr. Magee, the resolution oared by him some time since in the words following, Resolved, That a committee be appointed to en quire into the expediency of so amending the Con stitution of Pennsylvania as to prohibit the future immigration into the State of free persons of color and fugitive slaves from other states or territories, Was read the second time, and being under con sideration, a motion was made by Mr. Maclair to amend the resolution by striking therefrom the words "free persons of color and." Tho previous question was then called for by M'Cahen, and sev enteen others, and sustained. The resolution (be ing the main question) was then agreed to, Yeas 56, Nays 50, and ordered that Messrs. Magee, M'Dowell,Keim, Clapp,Doran, Young and Smyth, be the ccournittee fhi the purpose e ed in the resolution. -:- • The convention then again resolv jiiielf into a committee of the whole, on the rentirt eithe com mittee on the seventh article of the constitution. The amendment of Mr. Read being figiiin - under . consideration, Mr. Read addressed" committee about two hours in conclusion in favor of his amendment. A motion was then made by Mr. Purvianco to amend the amendment, by adding to the end thereof the words "in proportion to their stock holden therein"—which was disagreed to, and the amendment was disagreed to—Yeas 48, Nays 54. Mr. Road then moved to insert the following as a new section in lieu of section 3, of the constitu tion, "No bank shall issue any bill, check, promis sory note,or paper credit of less denomination than ten dollars,'nor after the fourth day of July, 1842, of a less denomination than twenty dollars," the said amendment being under consideration, a mo tion was made that the committee rise, which was agreed to and the convention adjourned. HARRISBURG, November 18, 1837. Mr. Cope, from the committee on accounts,made a report this morning in favor of Packer, Barrett and Parke, Printers of the English Debates for the sum of three thousand five hundred dollars to be by them accounted for in the settlement of their accounts. The accounts of the several officers of the convention were likewise reported. Mr. Earle from the select committee on the subject of re trenchment and reform reported a series of resolu tions discharging the Door keeper and his assist., ants and the assistant Sergeant at arms, some of which were adopted, and some indefinitely post poned, and others rejected. A proposition coming from Mr. Earle,more familiarly known as the “fath. er of reform," must possess rare merit if it p.t.a.te . the approbation of a majority of the convention As these resolutions are not generally interesting,.i, I will not furnish them. - Mr. M'Cahen moved for the second reading angr , : :: . consideration of the following resolution ofibred by - 1 :y Mr. Doran on the 10th, of May last as follows, viz: Resolved, That a select committee of N."; persons be appointed to inquire and report to the Convention whether the people of this Commonwealth by a legislative eaactment or by a provision in their new CotititttutOir. can repeal, alter or modify an act Of iiiTm; t44 ... bly of this Commonwealth entitled;:”*li to repeal the State tax on real and fikreetytt, - property, and to continue and extettif,;t4t, - improvements of the State by rail roinh;iiiiity:. canals, and to charter a state bank, to called the United States passed the eighteenth day of February, A.

On agreeing to proceed to the second reading and consideration of the resolution, the members preient voted as follows, viz: YEAS—Banks, Bonham,Brown. of Northampton, Brown, of Phil adelphia, But ler, Clarke, of Beaver, Clarke, of- Indiana, Cleayinger, Crain, Crawford, Curll, Da rrah, Dickerson, Dillinger, Donegan, Donnell, Doran, Earle, Fleming, Foulkrod.

Mr. Scott thought the movement on the pan of the radicals quite unprecedented and - thiceruneous in sitpringing this measure upon the .'eaavention at this time, when many of the mem- Ins had left this to visit their families prior to their teassembling at Philadelphia. Mr. Clarke, of hi tliana, animadverted with much severity upon the conduct of the Legislature in passing the bill; he said it was passed through that body with indecent haste, without affording members -vho were oppos ed to the bill an opportunity of consulting their constituents! He was replied to by Mr. Reigart, in a very suitable manner; who said he expected am courtesy from the gentleman from Indiana, nor did he desire any from any member who would asperse the character of any legislative body. Be fore this subject was disposed of, the hour of ad journment had arrived— consequently it will be the first buttiipss in order on Monday next. Upon looking over the list of members who voted f r the consideration of the resolution, it will be seen that Messrs. Clarke, of Beaver; Harris and Dickerson. 'Conservatives, voted for it! Whilst the onEsT auxs were engaged in the Convention on the Uni ted States Bank, the frjepds of the Constitution and laws were engage ht firing cannon on the capitol hill, in celebration of the glorigius victory achieved by the Whigs in the Empire State!

Resolved, That it isle sense of this Con. vention that a Charter duly 'granted by Act of Assembly is, when accepted, a contract with the pnrties to whom the grant is made. The following was stalljtted by Mr. Ingerso and laid on the table: Resolved, That the Committee on the Ju• diciary be instructed to consider all the ro tiolutions submitted to this convention con. cerning the organization of the Courts of this State,together with such other projects as the committee may think proper, and re port a plan for establishing the jurisdiction and. duties of the several spurts, together with the number and arrangement of the Judges, on or before the sth day of Dec'eiri 'bor next.

Nays 7. • • The second resolution submitted by Mr. Mere dith being tinder consideration, Mr. Porter, of Nor thampton, moved to amend the same by striking out all after the word "Resolved," and inserting in lieu therof the following: "That the power to create Banking corporations is a power committed by the Constitution to the Legislature of this Com monwealth, and that when exert iscd according to the foram of the Constitution, a contract is created between the people of the State and the corpora tor*, which it is not in the power of either party subsequently to impair without the assent of the other. If the contract be violated by either party, redress is to be.sought before the judicial tribunals of the country, which are competent to investigate and decide the subject. Thut the powers of this Convention are confined to the consideration of alterations and amendments to the Constitution of this Commonwealwealth to be submitted to the people: We have no power for other purposes.— And, therefore, the power to repeal charters legal ly grant•'d and accepted by the corporators, does not exist in this body any more than in the Le gislature of the Commonwealth." Mr. Porter addressed the convention about an hour and a quarter in favor of his amendment, and without coming to a close gave way on a motion to adjourn. In the course of his remarks, he evin ced great research and added not a little to the high reputation ho has heretofore sustained. His doc trine is totally at variance with that of the Loco Fo cos, it would do honor to any man. The subject under debate for the last few days is a very exciting one,and has given rise to an an imated discussion. The radicals feel doubly mor tified at their defent,from the circumivance of their having brought on this subject at a time when they believed they had a majority, as a number of the Conservatives had left the Convention• But like faithful sentinels in the hour of danger, the friends of law and justice were prepared and arm ed for the assault, turned upon the enemy, and have driven them from their ground with their own weapons, to their utter discomfiture! The President this day issued his writ of elec tion to the SherilTs of the several counties compos ing the senatorial district lately represented in this Convention by Mr. Hamlin. resigned, for an elec tion to supply said vacancy, to be held on the 19th of December next. INTERESTING INTELLIGENCE!—THE LOCO FOCOS AGAIN REBIICED!! HARRISBURG, November 21, 1837. Mr. Fuller submitted the following resolutions, which were laid on the table. Resolved, That no member of this convention who holds sto‘k in any bank within this Common wealth, shall be deemed an impartial voter on any question in which the immediate interest of such delegate shall be involved by any constitutional provision either restricting or regulating such bank institution. Resolved, Thnt the Auditor General be reques ted to furnish this convention with a list or state ment containing the names of all persons holding stock in the hank called tho United States Batik, chartered February 18th, 1830. The following preamble and resolution were sub mitted by Jr.vf Sc..tt and laid on the table: Whereak, in the course of the proceedings of the 20th instant, when the Yeas and Nays were called upon a vesolution.embodying. very important ciplea, a large number of the members of this con• vention at that time in their seats declined voting; And whereas, such a course if persisted in, will, and must effectually break up the proceedings of his conTention—Therefore be it Resolved, That n committee ba"appointed to en quire and report, what this convention should do in Pitnilar cases to assert its dignity and secure the continued performance of its duties. Mr. Porter rest:mm.l his remarks in favor of his amendment to the second resolution submitted by Mr. Meredith, and addressed the convention about an hour and a half in conclusion, in one of the ablest speeches delivered in the convention during its session. His doctrine differs in toto from that of those who are favorable to the nullification of solemn contracts, so directly at variance with the letter of the constitution of the United States.— When Mr. Porter had concluded, Mr. Meredith modified his resolution to read as follows, viz: Resolved, That it is the sense of this convention, that a charter duly granted under at, act of assem bly to a bank or other private corporation is, when accepted, a contract with the parties to whom the grant is made, and if such charter be unduly gran ted, or subsequently misused, it may be avoided by the judgment of a court of justice in duo course of law and not otherwise, unless in pursuance of a power expressly reserved in the charter itself. Mr. Porter then withdrew his amendment, Mr. Earle moved to amend the resolution as modified by adding to the en't thereof the following, viz: "And when it may be found by posterity that a charter has been hastily and unwisely granted and is inconsistent with the rights, the liberties or the happiness of the people, then the commonwealth will have an inalienable right to alter, modify or revoke such charter, in such manner as justice and the public good may require and upon the pay ment of such compensation, if any, as the corpo rators justly and equitably claim." On this amendment, the °convention was very ably and eloquently addressed by Messrs. Meredith and Dunlop, in opposition, and by Messrs. Brown of Phila. co., in favor of,and in opposition to the resolution of Mr. Meredith as modified. Mr. Brown, by stepping forward as the champion of the doctrines of Mr. Dallas, has placed himself in no very enviable attitude. Mr. Dunlop,as he usu ally is, was very facetious, entering fully into the circumstances connected with the calling up of the resolution of Mr. Doran on Saturday, at a time when a large number of the members had left their seats. He spoke of their exultation at their suc cessful effort. by the carelessness of the conserve ' tives; of their frequent professions of regret at the party feelings that have been manifested hereto fore, and the hope that every thing of that charac ter was forgotten—of their utter disregard of their pretensions by springing upon the convention at the time they did the resolution which of all oth ers was the most obnoxious, and the beat'calcula ted to arouse those feelings which had been fondly hoped were buried in oblivion! Several others addressed the convention. The Previous Question wai then called for by Mr. Dickey and others—and on the question, Shall the main question be now putt it was determined in the affirmative—yeas 66, nays 44. The resolution as modified (being ' the main question) was then agreed to—the mem bers present voting as follows __ _ YEA S — Measrii:Anew,Ayrea,Baldwin, Barndollar,Barnitzilliddle, Brown. of Lan.; Chambers, Chandler, of Cheat.

The convention then adjourned. Thus has terminated one of the most exciting and important questions which has yet occupied the attention of this body, not a little to the cha grin and mortification of the party that sprung it upon the consideration of the convention at a time as they trusted, they had a majority in conse-, quenco of the absence of a number of members!

Whether it arises from indiscreet zeal or premeditated mischicf,tho effect is still the same. It is yet three years to the next presidential elec tion. We have a Governor's election to go thro' in the meantime. We shall need perfect unio and every Anti• Van Buren vote to re-elect our present worthy Governor. But by agitating the presidential question now, wo shall alienate all ex cept the friends of one candidate. The nomina tion is confided to a National Convention. There let it remain. Any attempt at State action on the subject, will be sure to divide our friends and Om Pennsylvania into the hands of Van Buren: it is not to be expected that true Anti-Masons will support any man nominated contrary to Anti-Ma sonic usages. Anti-Masonry must be consulted, and must triumph, or the Destroyers will still rule. Lot our friends learn wisdom from experience, and attend fo the Gubernatorial election—and when thSt iskson, it will be time enough to agree or disagree about the Presidential election. .711 eto Fork Election. oi-The follming.is the result of the N 01111 ' York ejection: Whig.

GENEIIOIIB S YMPATHY. —A steamboat arrived at Wheeling on Monday evening last having on board a number of respectable looking passengers. When the boat touch ed the wharf, as is usual at that enterprising little city, a busy personage jumped aboard ,with "Gentleman, a seat for Baltimore to day—fine coaches, fast horses, sober driver: —and I have slips with New York election news! Shall I have the pleasure of giving you one, Sir," said the busy person to a rath• er decent looking, stout stranger, who had begun to look interested in the subject. "Let me give you a slip—glorious news, Sir, glo• rious"—"Thank you, Sir," said the stout man and he stooped, eager to peruse his slip, but his visage lengthened, nod at length, he dropped the harmless paper as though it burnt his fingers. "Boy, take that trunk ashore!" shouted the stout man, in a voce of thunder, and dropping his hend,he stepped out of the cabin and hurried off in silence. "Whew!" said the busy tnitn, "Captain, who is that nein going ashore there "Solila- ry and alone," with a face as black as a thun der cloud." "That, why that—that's Thom as H.
