FEFKCrtt OF KISRTXG V’t’NG kADT. I Our !<•:> 'is! .Hum hive liul quite ati .uiiiH itcd debate upon lhe lejjai consequences ofa mu t ied in in kissing tin unni ii ried lady. As the same question appears to have engaged a co-ordinate bi meh of our goverinent; the supreme judicial liibiin d of Ohio; and as there are a great many married men and turn irricd women within the limits of this state, we deem it advisable to notice this case with snmo particularity, especially, as it must be bmneiti mind that ignorantia tcgis ncmincm czcusat. It appears that in 1822, Mr. Jeremiah Moor, maried ?»liss Polly Pronjb. lit 1825 they began to grow tired of each other, and their r.h lins gradually loosing their silken lustre, the husb utd soon after wards veiy nngall »mlv, so licited the Supreme Court to grant him a di verse from bis wife Polly. From the legisla tive debate, to which we are referring, we learn th it the application was refused on the following ground. While the pn lies worn living together in a state of amicable indifference, they attended a party at a noi dibor’s house, which had assem bled to boil apple butter. In the course of the evening Mr. Moore laid bis sb’eve around the shoal lor of a young worn in, while sit(ing at the (ire Hide in comp any with others, an t drawing her up in his arms, g'lnti her a kiss. '[’his fact 'being m ide known to die Supreme Court, thev refused to loosen Mr. Moore’s matrimonial chains. Fro n tins it is to be inl'ered, that there , is in Ohio, neither statute nor common law authorizing married men to kiss unmarried women. Mr. Moore, not Ratified at this decision of thd Supreme Court, lias made his appeal to the le gislature, and at our last date the question was pending bel’oie th it body. 'The speakers were discussing the ethics o('kissing and sensuring the Supreme Court foi their decision. As the mat ter is one of vast importance, and as it affords n fine field for fine speeches, it is a/rogether imceriaitt, when our august legislators will re turn to the body of their constituents. SINGULAR E VEX I’. The following verry singular event occurred in fhetowa <>t Ma iison in'hiiOjuuH about three weeks Si'icu. Mr. I’m i imin Smith had a place on his farm where he baited foxes fur the purpos of shoot ing them. One morning soon alter day. break, lie started for Ute place for this purpose, wher. on fe ic'iiug bis covert or bough house he discovered a i.arg animal near the fox bait, heat first took n for a large dog belonging to one ol his neighbors, but ;i shut of position by the animal satisfied him at once that it was not a dog but an euormus black Wolf, wheruppoo he discharged his gun at him. which wash-iaded with large shoe Immediately the wolf fell wiili his legs under him and appeari*.! as it" dead which Ur. Smith supposed to pe the case, and lay jug down his gun advance:! towards him. When he had approached withm ten or fifteen feet of him, th ■ wolf rose an I sprung upon mm, seizing him by the leg near the ancle, immediately a sort of “rough an I tumble*” commenced each striving to ger thf: .other u.i ler. the Wolf all lip: wh.' O .etiin ng his grip ' tip >n Mr. Smith's log- At 1 mg’ti .Mr. y. succee- j dmi in throv/iug the wolf upon his .side, and hold ing him in this position with on” hand and his knee • he gotoiit his jack knife, which he fortinately had with him and plunged it in to the th rot of his I eroi ions sissailetrt, who conimued his hold upon J[r. Smi'ii’s b’g. biting and growling until he bled to death. Mr. S. receive 1 but very lit I • injury in the conflict, his thick boot protecting his leg from the te*‘th of the wolf who was only able jti st to scr r< h the skin a lit ! tie. The wolf was lull grown and very large. ( measuring nearly lEe feet irom snout to tail.--- i Sniirsd (lie.) Journal. From the Neto- York Commercial Advertiser. ■ SUPERIOR COURT. Tito All intic liisuratice Company of New- York, at the suit of Josiah Macy and William! 11. Macy. This was an action on a policy of Lisiirance 1 on the freight of thn ship Issaac II: ks, on a | voyage al ami Iron Chai les to hverpool in 1831. A cargo of Cotton for the voyage was sliipptui, but before sailing a lire look place in the hold, i which, with the water poured into the ship io > extinguish it, damaged the cotton very serious- I ly. T.io cotton was taken out of the ship, ! taken by tho shippers, and aftei ' surveys of its condition, was sold. The ■ ship was impaired in about three months, and j tendeied to the shippers, who declining to load her, she took a cargo of Cotton, not equal o, the former in q imtiiy, and proceeded wall it to ! Liverpool, 'i’lio ship owners, mo insured, ' seek lo recover the freight ag linsl ih<* insurers, i an I a verdict was reudeied fin diem. The court in giving os judgement, stated in snlwt.inee, that tho insured >n treigm, toe.num ' 'himself to recover on is policy, uinst show lint ho his dine all in has power t«> e irn ■(, , an 1 thai it was lost without nis fault, and in de ciding on his right, lhe duty of the ship owner | and of the f.eighter is to bo taken into view, fit case ol disaster, it is the duty ol the ship owner to put his vessel into a condition to pei- , form the voyage, or ifthis cannot be done, to procure another vessel if he can to carry on; thecaigo. II re the vessel was cap dde ol be- 1 mg tepaired and was ret:.ted, anil the delay was not unreason iblo. Tina ship iheretoic could earn her freight, unless pieven cd by the c<>n lition of the cargo Tho d i n.ige to the car u), even if rendering it totally spoiled and of, no v due, does not deprive (lit* ship owner of his right to earn the freight; the only circuit)- ••™ * • st nice tn tne condition ol th. 1 cargo having such tin ell ct. is its bein; tins tfe and dangerous to the shj) and its crew, in this case it clea'lv nppeirs, tint this dilliculty in the cargo could have been icmedied, a! a practical expense, and without unreasonable d< lay. It is insisted, however, th it the expense of ri luting the cargo for the voyage was charge able on the height, mid tllmded a ground to abandon • m<l that this was a sutlicientground IP give up the vovage. I he Comt did not recognize any such rule. Il tho dis aster had h ippened, and the ship had gone into a port of distress, where the master fi id no hinds, nor means ol rais.ug money, by a s lie ol part ot the cargo, or otherwise, in: might be justified in permitting a sale ofthe cargo damaged, if the expense often ting it to a safe condition could not be met. Bat hero tho dis*, was i • t!te itunte port, t ie residence vs the I shipper-’, and tney were bound lo put the car- ' go iu a si.ee lit lor the voyage; unless they ’ leemed il more to their in.eresi to sell it then : ' in which case they hid a right lo do so, but j upon |iaym mt of the freight. ! I The e xpernse ol refuting cargoes, when da-i muged so as to be uiis.de, does not belong the , sinp owner. Ills obligation to the cargo is “dangeis of die seas excepted.” Where a damage occurs to the Cargo without his fault by sea perils, the sinp ami cargo which thus meet a common nnsfm tune, must each bear its j <)wn loss. i’lio master must n pair h;s slop u praiieable, ami gel it ready wiiliin a lesouabk ;mv : th« shipper, or the m.ister, as agem, ( incase of a necessity, must pul it inorder for I snipping at lue exptmee ol the cargo. I’iie ' rises in the books, wheie the delay has been ■ •oncidet ed, snew die delay m the presaul in- j stance was not an unreasonable delay, and on I ■he whole, the insured here has not shewn a , sufti .ent cause ■ o war: am his abandonment of ne heigh’.

CIIEROKEEr S.vjtkday, Aiftd 27, 1833. ; ••• >.<•.' v‘-k?!'* I We have expressed ourself satisfied with the laws and insdtiitimis of our country with all their taul.'s, Since expressing this semiment, our at i tend.m his been roused to the consideration of an • artstocra ic feature in the constitution of this State, I by an ailicie which appeared in a late number of j the Columbus Democrat signed “Cincitinattis:’, I Ue also remember an effort that was mad? iu our ■ i egisJature ol 1831, by Mr. Warner of Crawl, rd I Co inty, to expunge this part of the conoitution, . which did equal honor to his talents and to his pa- ’.itotisin. It is the property requisition wiiich we allude to. The constitution ol this State requires every ciliseti, before tie can be a member of ti;e representative branch ofthe Legislature, to be pos sessed tn tiis own right of a settled free hold estate of tho value of two hundred and fifty dollars, ! or of taxable properly to the amount of five hun | tired dollars: and before he can be a senator he I must be possessed of a tree hold estate of the value ■ ol live hundred dollars, or of taxable property to ] the amount of one thousand dollars over and above I what wdl be sufficient to pay his just depts. Now 1 ! we beg leave l<> diss°nt Irom the sentiment above 1 alluded to. sit lar as to concur with the. sentiments I of Mr. War* er contained in his speech ol 1831, ' anti tlv'se expre .setl by Cmcinnalus in the Colmn- ( i bus D nioi rat, ami to express our decided disap- I probation of this part ofthe Constitution ofGeor- } 1 . , r j | | ( j, ( learlv a relic of aristocracy derived j I from iho Mother Country, where pioperty is consi- ‘ ! tiered as ’he stiinm mi bonum, the sine qua non, i 1 tin: essential requisite, and the only tiling that u , | calculated to ”d i respect and dignity to the hu- j ' mm species: there tne rich are born to com -1 maud, the poor to obey; the former to legislate t and the litter to be legislated for. And j ■ these art* not the sentiments oi Great Liitam only, I i but the sentiments of Georgia; at least they are so I I expressed in th ? strongest language, ami in an m- I 1 •drom ,, nt the most solemn tlr.it can possibly exist. . j Now our solemn convictions arc, that property j | neither adds to. nor diminishes the intrinsic value j 'of a man. and that it t* quite possible fora man ' who is not uoitb *i dollar, lo be as hard to bnbe, , land as mnch attiched to ihe interests of ms com:- I trv as he Mio is worth tivo hundred an ! ft ny. or i ■ eve < a million of dollars Does any man say that lhe poor are not worthy to be Husted? that they i . are not worthy to have a part in making those laws . 1 which they are bound to obey? that they are nut , worthy to be placed on a 100 ing with their more • weal'hy neiglihms? that they twe not fit to be num beri’d among the free born sons of America? il so, ! lot him be “a-inthema. maran atha.” Yet this is ' ’ virtually the language of the constitution wmeh j we stiff r to rein in in this oar boasted laud ot li j bertv , It sa»s b> the poor man. you are poor, ■ there is no confidence to be p.lace I in you; you sh ill fi Jit our battles, you shall*pay your tax, and bear vour equal share in the burthens ot our • oun- ■ trv. but von shall not be entitled to a share i any !of its honors. Wiiv is it that .he framers ot the ■ Constitution ofthe Unite I States hid not take the j ' same view* of this matter ? iti their opinion, ,a minis • capable of being a senator or representative m ( Congress, or even President ofthe I nited Slates ' ‘ without being worth ;> doll tr in the world: but the ! sapient framers ofthe Constitution of Georgia were ; better judges of human nature: they have wisely i concluded that a senator or a rt presentafive n, the ■ Legislature of Georgia ought to possess five hwn- ■ deed or a thousand dollars worth of taxable tn..per- 1 tv. and that our Governor must possess live him- i died acres «.f land, mid be worth four thousand dot- j lars.

But we had betier not dwell upon this subject, lest we should yet angry, and be betrayed into a harshness of expression which might wound the feelings of some honors- ; ble gentleman contrary to our intention. W e will conclude by joining with Cincinnatus in call ing on the poor men of Georgia to wake up to a ; sense of the indignity which they suffer; let this i most odious feature of the Cons’itution be ex* ; panged: speak the word ! and the enemies of equal rights and equal privileges shall quake at your command. | should he happy to hear from Cincinnatus i again upon this subjoct.
