that New Mexico had declared in favor of Texas,

head. -
Ft r the 'Chronicle and Sentinel.
Asa refutation to the only attempt-to prove the
incorrectness of any statement which Dr. R.
made i» his address at the meeting on Saturday
he would simply state that he asserted, that at
the same time that Mr. Van Buren advocated the
property qualification of $250 for negroes, that hr
also advocalod, and contended for, a restriction
on the right of general suffrage and, consequent
ly free white citizens were deprived of the right
of voting, when negroes who could sisal .or be
jurnuhed with the requisite $250 qualifications
could exercise that privilege. To establish this,
he begr you to publish the following from Lev
-11. Clark’s Report of the proceedings of the con
vention. This restriction remained until the year
1826, where a more liberal amendment was adop
ted ; extending the elective' franchise to' all citi
zens without regard t# property or Taxation 1
To the remaining unsubstantiated- trarsh, reply is
unnecessary.
‘■Mr. Van Boren said, that a» the vote he
should now give on what was.called the highway
qualification would beditferent from what it had
been on a former occasion, he felt it aduty to make
a brief explanation «>f the motives which govern
ed him. The qualifications reported by the first
Committee were of three Kinds, viz; the pay
ment of a money tax-, the performance of milita
ry duty ; ami working on highways. - The two
former had met with hi<» decided approbation ;
to the latter he wished to add tne additional qual
ification, that, the elector', if he paid no tax, per
formed no militia duty, but offered his vote on the
sole ground that he had labored on the highways,
should also be a'householder -and that was the
only point in which lie had dissented from the »e
---portof the Committee. To effect this object, he
had supported a motion made by a. gentleman
from Duchess, to strike out the highway qualifi
cation, with a view of adding “ householder.”
That motion, after full discussion, had prevailed
by a majority of twenty. But what was the
consequence * The very next day, the same gen
tleinan who thought the highway tax too liberal a
qualification voted that every person of twenty
one years of age, having a certain term of residence
and excluding actual paupers, should be permit
ted to vote for every officer in the Government,
from the highesUo the lowest; far outrunning, iu
this particular, the other States in the Union,
and verging from the extreme ot restricted to
that of universal suffrage. The Convention,
sensible of the very great stride which had been
taken by the last vote, the next morning referred
the whole matter to a Select CoramLtee of thir
teen, whose report was now under consideration.
That Committee, though composed of gentle
men. a large majority of whom had voted for the
proposition for universal suffrage, had now re
commended a middle course, viz : the payment
of a money tax, or labor on the highways; ex
cluding militia service, which had, however, been
reinstated, JSTtalf an attempt be
again made to ardd that of householder to the
highway qualification, and run the hazard of the
reintroduction of the proposition of the gentle
man from Washington, abandoning all qualifi
cation,.and throwing open the ballot-boxes to
everybody?- —demolishing, at one blow,"the dis
tinctive character of an elector—the poudest and
most invaluable attribute of freedom.
“ Mr. Van Buren said he had, on the motion of
the gentleman from Columbia this day, hinted at
the nuaerouftoi jections which he had to the pro
position which the other day passed the Conven
tion, in regard to the right of suffrage ; objec
tions which he intended to make, had the Com
mittee reported in favor of that vote ; and by
which, when-fully urged, he knew that he would
he anle to convince every member of this Com
mittee of the dangerous and alarming tendency
of that pr ecipitate and unexpected prostration
of all qualifications. At this moment he would
only say, that among the many evils which would
flow from a wholly unrestricted surffage. the fol
lowing would be the most injurious, viz :
“ 1. It would give to the city of New York
about twenty-five thousand votes; while under,
the liberal extension of the right on the choice
of Delegates to this Convention, she had but a
hout thirteen thousand. That the character of
the increased number of votes would be such as
would render their elections rather a curse than
a blessing—which would drive, from the pods
all saber minded pe<>ple ; and such, he was hap
py to find, was the united opinion, or nearly so
of the delegation from that city.
“2d. h would not only be injurious to them,
hut that injury would work an equally great one
to the western and northern parts of the Stale,.
It was the present c«nsokition of our hardy sons
of the West that, for their toils and their suffering
in reducing to cultivation the 'wilderness, they,
were cheered by the conviction, not only that
* they would be secure in the enjoyment of their
dear-bought improvements, tn consequence of.
their representation in the Legislature, but that
any increase of that representation gave them a
still greater influence there, that, as far as it re
spected this State, their march and the march of I
e[ npire kept peace. This rose from the circum
stance of the representation of the State being
founded on the nombe - of electors ; and l>ecause
dmost every man in a new county was an elec
-3r under the existing and contemplated quailfia
'■‘ttn n, while in the old counties, and especially
>n the cities, there were great numbers who would
n °t be embraced by them. So great was this ef
-ecL that the city of New York alone would un
kf the vote of the other day, have become enli
to additional voters over what she was on the
Action of Delegates, equal, or nearly so, to the
'bole number of votes of Ontario or Genesee.
‘56 direct consequence of wkich would be, that
representation of fourteen mem
, which are next year to be distributed among
55® counties, would, instead of going principally
t 0 the West be surrendered to the very worst
Population of the old counties and cities. And,
3dly. The door would have oeen entirely
Ci 'sed against retreat whatever might be our after
Eviction, founded on experience, as to the evil
le udency of this extended suffrage. The just
Equilibrium between the right of those who have
8n '- those who have not, an interest in the Gov
ernn ?cnt, could, when once surrendered, never be J
‘ e except by the sword.
According to the present report, if experience
point out dangers from the very exten
| ■| v ’ e suffrage we are about to establish, the Le
cture might relieve agaicst the evil by cur
•iing the objects and subjects of taxation. By
Cj e Sla hlishment of turnpikes, the making of
j an d the general improvement of thecoun
»nd l " C hi ° hvva y lax would naturally be lessened
■ if the Legislature thought proper, be
gla rea . er confined to property, instead of impo-
S it, as they now do, on every adult. For
I one hundred years at foawl ih» wcu-W afford a
sufficient prelection against the evils which were
apprehended. 1
“He would, therefore notwithslandi ig his de
sire to have the qualification of housholder added
to the electors of the third description remain un
changed, accept the report of the Committee as it
was with the addition of the military qualification,
which he thought ought tb be adopted for the
sake of principle, if for no other reason,* He
thought the Committee constituted as they were,
had done themselves great credit by their concess
ion to the opinion of those from whom they had
differed, and he, for one, returned them his sin
cere thanks. I mler all circumstances, he would
be well satisfied with .the right of suffrage as it
will now be established, and would give it his
zealous support, as well in his capacity of
Delegate as that of a citizen.’'

Indians.—A friend from Newnansvilleinforms
us that the Indians still show themselves occa
sionally in that neighborhood. A party was seen
neaf “Hog Town” recently by a negro, in the
act of conveying on the back of a pony, a beef
that they had killed, and on being'pursued were
• discovered on the margin of Hog Town Prairie,
barbecuing their ill gotten plunder. They were
- approached by the scouting parly suffice ntly near
see their fires, and but for the imprudent rashness
of the commander of the scout, who discharged
his gun before getting within shooting distance,
they might have all been surprised and taken.
But upon the discharge of the gun the fires were
immediately, extinguished, and the Indians no
whereto be found. It is supposed there were
eight or nine-Indians.

Whaling Extraordinary.—The sch. Argo
Capt. Donnell, arrived at this port from a fishing
voyage, reports that on Thursday the 17th uft. T
wide lying at anchor on the fishing ground in
the Bay of Fundy, a whale forty or 50 feet in
length, became entangled in the cable about half
way from the vessel to the anchor, and after
flouncing about a while, broke the anchor from
its hold, and went off towing the schooner at the
rate of three or four knots , Capt. Donnell and'
crew, being destitute of whaling gear, had by
this time prepared substitutes for lances by lash
ing knives, chisels, &c. to the ends of polls, and
assisted by Capt. Amezeen and crew ot NewCasJ
tie, who were fishing in company, commenced an
attack on the monster, though with little effect,
other than to make him still more restive ; in this
situation be remained until Saturday when he
became so fatigued that by heaving in at the
windlass they drew him under the bow of the
vessel, so that Capt. Donnell gave him bis death
wound, with a lance made ol the hatch bar ground
to a point and lashed to a pole ; they wete, how
ever, obliged to pay out the cable to him again,
as his death struggle or “flurry” was so violent
as to endanger the vessel had he remained near
her; but to the disappointment of the fishermen,
as soon as he was dead he sunk as far as the ca
ble would permit him, and was so heavy as to
baffle all attempts to heave him up with the wind
las, and this remained until Monday when by
their exertions to heave him up the cable parted at
ihe bow, and the whale sank to the bottom, car
rying with him over 100 fathoms of cable and
the anchor attached.
