(3 . - 3-A correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette,
who has spent five years in the Western and
Southern States, communicates the following re•
marks cm the subject of the "Great West:"
No history I . presunrre can furnish a par.
allel of the rapidity of the growth of any
Country. tb that of the Mississippi Valley.
Thousands of emigrants are pouring in from
every quarter, and are fast peopling a Country
that is almost in extent, a world Itself. There is
no part of the West that I have soon that holds
out stronger inducements to the industrious omi•
grant, whether ho be a Farmer, a Merchant or
Mechanic than that of the Wabash Valley. The
Wabash is a beautiful stream emptying itself into
the Ohio nine miles above Shawnetown, and is
the boundary line for the States of Indiana and
Illinois near the Torre Haute, a distance of 200
miles. The lands aro remarkably fertile and
well adapted to the culture of corn, wheat, rye,
oats, barley, and the usual Farm products of the
Northern States. The river bottoms aro well
timbered, and the finest, without exception, that
I have seen in the West. About four or five
miles back from the River, the heavy timber dis.
appears, and the Country opens in a most pleasing
manner in beautiful praries. The face of the
Country ;on the Indiana side) is generally rolling
rising and fulling without any break or hollows,
but gently rising in swells and undulations the
most gratifying to the sight. The high and rol•
ling lands of this State are generally healthy; the
wet praries and alluyial bottoms are more or less
sohjsct to the Fever and Ague and billions coin.
plaints, but that the settlers in general have found
the State, taken as a whole. favorable to health,
the astonishing increase of the population bears
sufficient testimony. The Wabash is generally
navigable fur Steamboats to Lafayette, a distance
of more then 900 miles. from December to June.
Its principal tributary (the White river,) connect
ing two fine microns, its East and West branches,
meandering through a great part of the interior
of Indiana, unites them about 30 miles from its
junction with the Wabash. Just at the mouth of
White river commences the Falls or rapids,
which is a great impediment to the navigation of
this beautiful stream. A canal is about to be
made around them which will be en important
benefit to the Country above. At the foot of the
Falls, is situated on the Illinois side, a flouriah. l
ing town named Mount Carmel, the county seat
of-Wabash county; in it are a great many stores,
a steam sawmill, and an iron foundry : a week.
ly paper is also published hero. From this ~face
a rail road has been commenced to connect the
Wabash with the Mississippi, its termination to
be at Alton, a little below the mouth of the Illi
nois river. New Harmony, 28 miles below
Mount Catmol, is beautifully situated, on the
Eastern Bank of the Wabash, and is 16 miles
from Mount Vernon its nearest point to the Ohio
river. • Its situation is pleasant and well chosen.
It was first settled in 1819 by a religious sect of
Germans,
: called flarnionites, under the manage
ment and Control of George Rapp, to whom his
poor deluded subjects looked up as a superior be
ing, and in whose name all the lands and•proper
ty were held. They erected a great number of
spacious buildings, and continued to live and la
bor in common until 1824, when the celebrated
Robert Owen, of Scotland, purchased their entire
possessions for the sum of $190,000 with the idea
of establishing a communy, upon the plan of hie
'-Social System" and cot responding with his now
views of society. His community soon swelled
to seven or eight hundred persons, but discord
soon arose amongst its members, which caused
them to abandon their "social System," and thus

There is yet a great deal of public land unsold in

culture of corn than thi• fl a n valley. 50 bushels

sometimes one hundred bushels are raised. Flax

and is generally a profitable crop. It should be
an Important object with the Farmer to locate
himself in the neighborhood of some navigable
stream where he will have no occasion tq despair
of a market for his produce. Hundreds of Farm

The EXth article of the new constitution,
which contains what used to be called '•the
bill of rights," is, I find, the same, word for
word, with the IXth article of our present
constitution ; and I think it is a convincing
proof of the excellence of this good old con
stitution of ours, that the convention could
not find a word to alter or add in this most
important part. Here they have LET WELL
ALONE indeed; and it is a great pity that
they did not do so with other artichis. I
wish that every man, before he makes up
his mind which way to vote or the snh
of ngreeing or disagreeing to lb:,

toot her parts of the instru
tie likely to work well.
The old constitution ends with the INth
urttc to; nut added to the
now constitution which to my Mind appears n.5... 8
serious and important than any other amendment.
Every thinking man, who values his rights raid
liberties, must look upon th'e constitution as
very solemn and wing lily matter; because it eon•
tains all the warranties end guaranties for his
life, his liberty, and his property. I would ni t
live for an hour in a country where there was not
a good written constitution It is like the title
deeds that a man has for his real estato, Which he
takes great care to hail, properly made; and when
he has got them, ho takes great care to keep thorn
safe; because ho knows that they aro the eviden
ces of his right to the land. Now, what would be
thought of a man who would agree that every
fivo years his title deeds should be overhauled by
other men, and altered as they thought fit? I
think that every body would say that such a man's
title to the land was not worth much. Now see
what sort of security, we have tor our rights and
liberties. Hero at the end of' the constitution,
after all the Various provisions about the Govern_
or and the Legislature, and the Judges, and the
elections, &c. comes an article which says that
the whole constitution may be altered every five
years, f a majority of two legislatures, and a ma
jority of the voters shall agree to it. Mind, it
does not say that some particular parte, such as
that about the Governor or about tiro Legislature,
may be altered, but all and every part of it, even
the most Important and fundamental. "What lu
(I think I hear some honest men say, who is in
favor ofsorne of the amendments proposed in this
now constitution,) "do you mean to toll us that all
those great principles contained In the IXth arti
do, that 'men are born fine and, equal,' that 'all
power is inherent in the people,' that 'all men
have a natural and indefeasible right to worship
Almighty God, according to the dictates of their
own conscience,' that 'trial by jury shall remain
as heretotbre,' that 'no cx post facto law shall be
made,' and the rest of them, may be abolished or
repealed at the end of five years, and a different
set put in their plane?" It is oven so my friend!
If this now constitution shall be adopted with
this additional section about amendments, THERE
WILL RE EVERY FIVE YEARS A REVOLUTION IN PENN
SYLVANIA ! Every thing from the first to the last
nay be altered. The Legislature may ha elec
tive for life, or may be abolished altogether ; the
Governor may be elected once in six months or in
six years; the Judges ninny be appointed for life or
not appointed at all, the right of voting may bo
confined to freeholders, or extended to all persons,
without even pay wont of taxes; the Militia may
he wholly ab ! dislied, and standing armies estab
fished; and every ono of those groat principles
contained in the IXth article which you spe l of,
may be abrogated, altered, or modified. There
is nothing in the constitution, or in the nature of
things to prevent it. There is nothing to prevent
ho introduction an DILL ok' wo,oNcsin place o
the DILL OF 11.1011T13, and the adoption of the wild
ost radicalism, or the most arbitrary doctrines.
We muy have, for instance, a provision that no
man should hold more than lilly acres of land;
and that every five years the land should be divid
ed over again; and on the othor hand, there may
bo an article providing for an established church
and aristocracy. All these things will be within
the power of the Legislature, and a majority of
the voters. But, you will say, there is no danger
of any such things haPponing, since it is not pro.
bable that a majority of the people will ever
agree to adopt such monstrous provisions. It is
not a question of probability, you will recollect;
hut whether these provisions. may be made. It is,
perhaps, not very probable that they will all ha
adopted or even proposed, at first, but by little
and little they may come In. And thorn is no
danger of their 'ming openly proposed. All theso
amendments ate wrapt up In professions of love
for the people; and like tho quack medicines that
helped to kill the poor Italian, they will ho label.
led with some popular name, such as "anti aristo
cratic reniedi," "anti •masonic cure," &c. The
people will bo told that this little amendment can
do no harm, and that little alteration may do good,
till by degrees the w bolo faith° old constitution
ill bo gone. The first stop will probably bo, in
1844, to cut down the Judges of the Suprorno
Court to ton years, and those of the Common
Pleas to five, and soon. Then the next five years
there may come provision, that the constitution
may Le altered every year; and than the steps to
the most revolutionary and jacobluical projects
are very easy. Still, you soy, as the people have
the right to vote Upon all those projects, it- does
not follbw that they will bo adopted. That Is
perfectli true; but 1 don't like the idea of being
In the power of any set of men in respect to such
important questions. Besides, every body knows
that people who are in favor of reform, as they
call it, are always the most activa. Look nt the
vote on tho subject of the Convention, which
made this now constitution, and that sat no long
about it, and cost us so much money. The whole
number of votes in laver of the convention, was
56, 5 70. Those against it, 73,166. Total, 159,.
736. At the same tint° a vote was taken for Gov
ernor. There wero three candidates. and the to.
tal number of votes was 200,113; thereby show.
in that mul e than 40,000 persons entitled to vote,
did not vote on the question. It is to be prosum•
ed that all who were desirous of having a conven•
lion voted for it; consequontly there was a major.
ity of at least 27.000 agriust ii. Yet the convon
tion was carriod. And so it may be every five
years, if the Now constitution is adopted. The
rolormers, who are always active and stirring,
will be out in all their force, while the prudent
and old fashioned demo:natio, who are for "letting
well alone," will perhaps stay at home, and "let
well alone" in all respects ; the consequences of
which may be, that avon the wild projects which
I have spoken of, may be tolo?ted.
I fool very uneasy, theieforo, on the subject of
this Dlth article; and sincerely hope that it will
not be ratified by Om people.

FREDERICK G. HOFFMAN,
who reported the following, which wore sub
mated to the meeting, and unanimously
' adopted:
WIIEREAB, the Gubernatorial election
which is to take place on the second
Tuesday of October next, is fraught with
consequences of the most vital importance
to the people of this Commonwealth, ivas•
much as upon its result depends the contin
uance of that policy which replenished a
a Bankrupt Treasury without increasing the
burthens of the people; which made produc
tive a barren system of Internal Improve
ments; reduced the State Debt; repealed
the State 'fax ; resisted the unconstitution
al interference of tt►e General Government
in State Affairs; remedied the misehievious
effects of the measures of the latter relative
to the currency, and finally brought about a
resumption of Specie Payments by the
Banks; therefore,
Resolved, •!'t u ft we shall hail the re-elec
lion of JOSEPH RITNER to tho Guber
natorial Chair as the harbinger of the era
in the history of the Commonwealth .when
the State Debt shall have ceased to exist ;
when all the physical and intellectual re
sources of the Commonwealth shall be
opened up; her great system of Internal I rn•
provements completed,and the people reliev .
ed from the burthen of Taxation.
Resolved, That tho conduct of Joseph
Ritner in the administration of the Govern•
meet of the Voininonwealth, in replenishing
an empty Treasury; repealing the State
Tax; reducing the Slate Debt; making pro-
ductive and profitable an expensive system
of internal Improvements, furnishes the
most conclusive evidence of his abilities as
a sintebinan.
Resolved, That the Proclamation,of Gov.
Ritner, requiring the Banks to redeem their
notes with specie, has been.attended with
the most signal and unexampled success—
the Banks, from one extremity of the Com
monwealth.to the ether, having answered
the requirements of the Proclamation by a
prompt and praiseworthy obedience.
Resolved, That we would view the elec
tion of David It. Porter will° chief mug.
istracy of this Commonwealth, as a great
public misfortune, inasmuch as it would in
dicate a return to the prodioal & disastrous
policy pursued by Governor %Volt during his
administration, together with the adoption
of the new and favorite measure of the-Gen
eral Government, the Sub-Treasury and
Government Rank System.
Resolved, That, apart from the political
principles held by David R. Porter; we
should look upon his election as an indica
tion that "honesty and competency," are not
tegarded as requisites m a man aspiring to
the first offices in the gill of the people of
this Commonwealth.
Resolved, That in view of the conduct of
David R. Porter is fraudulently taking the
Benefit of the Insolv,ent Laws, after conceal
ing and putting away, a very large amount
of his property for his own private benefit,
which he afterwards got into his own hands
and appropriated to his own use, as establish
ed by the testimony of Messrs. Allison, the
Sionehreakers and others, we conceive that
to vote fltr him would be to sanction fraud
and legitimatize perjury.
Resolved, That if any evidence was
wanting in addition to the overvlielminz
mass already hewn the public, that David
R.. Poi ter is guilty in manner and form as
he stands indicted before the public. it is fur
nished by his putting off his suits with
Nlessrs. NPNiurtrio and Campbell, at the
late term of the Huntington County Court,
thereby evading a trial in which he could
have disproved at least some of the charges
against him, iJ they a- e really , as he pre
tends, false.
Resolved, That as we have nothing in
view but the promotion and discovery of
truth, we invite and CHALLENGE a fair and
dispassionate comparison of the claims and
pretensions of the rival candidates for the
office of Governor; and , to this end, nes

by a Van Buren•Legislature. has given the

has been increased under Gov Ritner'a ad

siderably reduced, as exposed and shown by
the full and satisfactory expose made by the
