' I have seen a private letter of the Bth Jdly, from a gentleman of high standing, wnich says that New Mexico had declared in favor of Texas, w?tb the Commandant General Amije at their 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.’' [ • From- the Savanah Georgian , From Florida. - By the steamer Gen.

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. Alabama.

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. wb— — hp— ——wm MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
