The following are some of thg leading provi sions of the new constitution, which we copy from the Kaskaskia Intenigenccr: The governor is to be elected quadrennially, and is to receive, until 1824, an a.uiuai saia, y one thousand dollars. A supreme court is to be established, consist ing of lour judges, elected by a joint bailor of both branches of the general assembly, m hold their offices until 1824, and t, . t alter during good behaviour. This provision is to enable tne state to avail itself of any accession ol talents which it receive, prior ic tne period, in forming a permanent judiciary, l’ne judg s re ceive an an aj salary of oile thousand dollars; tliey form a-, council to tne governor, and nave an equal voice on tne passage ol an bins with the governor. The general assembly is composed of a se -1 nate and house ol representatives. Tne senators to be elected by tne people quadrennially. They must be twenty five years of age, and have re sided one year in the county pievious to their election.

Six months residence in tin s tie is necessary to give a vote.

In obedience to this just demand, the Following expr sitiii’ is candidly and willingly submitted. *'lie constitution of the I'nitetl States should be tiie text (•!’ every man’s political creed. We need notraii sacathe archives of Greece and Home; nor, like Solon, visi ti ui stant countries in search of political knowledges He iu the best statesman, who best understands our cm* stitullon. It is the master-piece—the re phts nltrn of no! deal wisdom. It is the rock on which we have founded the temple of liberty; the’rains have come, an.’ icw•- Is heat upon it, bill it still stands. Certain anuUhnents of” the constitution have been proposed, by ficere pat riots-and enlightened statesmen, of both par its. Their opinio.is ma be correct', and ttye right to :4icnd is unquestionable; yet it is to be deeply re- (1 thaLthe period of amendments is not past, as, * cleatingßdoubt of its perfection, they tend continu ally impair its sanctity, and Aifeeble its authority. Bujt let it nex-er he forgotten, that the stalwty 7 and : perpetuity td"a republic dots no., depend, exclusively, on the excellence of its constitution. If the people, (fro 4 \vh<||e sovereignty emanates all authority—exec utive,; legiswjijve ahdjudicial) sufficiently enlight • encdtujhscern the wisdom? nor to blessings of ou* Continually “at me mercy of their delegated rulers. I* “asmiAh as \he people are the supreme directors of po litic •diiffairs, they should at least be acquainted with the I cons .tution, which is the very foundation of their free : and >m and the warrant of their political sovereignty.— The (institution ought to be considered an indispensi hle branch of scholastic learning in all the colleges and i schools of the United States. But how seldom do we j meet With this sacred compact; this estimable charter; j fhis palladium of our liberty , except in the libraries of ; lawyers- and learned men! A republic may exis 1 , l ng after the corruption of its morals, but there is no antidote again* the benumbing and deadening effects of igno , rune el The book of Constitutions and the Bible should occujA the same shelf of the farmer, for, next to his G<‘i. *is country demands his consideration and love. Bu| is must be remembered, that it is necessary to for tify the body pollfic not only against internal clirrupticn ana disorder, but u’so to defend it aguinsi the enemies by wh.cli Isgurrounded. The tree ofourfibertv must not only be able to stand alone, but, like the well-root ed oak, to withstand the tempests of extraneous power. As bur’s is the only republic on earth; us she has exalted herself in thefinidst ot governments which are naturally and essentially her enemies, her permanent security nius. depend on her physical strength. Hence the ne cessity of naval and military forces. These should be just competent—not so great as to be dangerous to our selves, nor so small ns to be harmless to our enemies.— In medio hrinimig tkia. On this sabject the American statesman should exert the greatest sagacity and circum spection. As real sovereignty consists in strength, the sovereign people should retain the power to rule in their own hands—hence a well organized, well disciplined and well armed militia, is the safeguard of a republic, the bulwark of its liberty . Vi hen war is constitutionally declared, that man is an enemy to his country, or at least a worthless friend, who will not aid the administration in defending i “ honor and independence. Our political e.’ istence is then assail ed, and the weightiest matters of political controversy, are nothing in comparison with that momentous sake. After the enemy has struck a blow into the bosom of our country, to hesitate is to be lost. W’e must not only promptly contribute our personal, but also our peevnia ■ry aid to the government. It is ttue, a permanent sys tem of direct taxes should never be resorted to—because they are intrinsically odious to the people—because they are vexatious and oppressive—because they mul tiply the unconditional supporters of a ruling power, and because they are unnecessary, inasmuch as our ordi nary revenues are adequate to the support ofthe ordina ry expensesof our government. But when our country, and all that is dear to freemen, is in imminent danger, it would be a matter of as omslmient if a citizen of this re public, could ever object o a tax many shape, or to any necessary amount. “A am neque qttics gentium sine ar tnis; tteqwe arma sine stipendiisn npte slipendia sine tri butis haheti queuntP The bold and efficient taxation of the people to support the expences of what has been emphatically styled the “second war of independence,’* will be held in perpetual memory, and imitated by fu ture administrations, under similar circumstances. But let it ever be (as it then was) the ultimo ratio of republic j can legislators. So long as the existing administration maintains the republican principles and pursues the judicious meas ures w hich are now settled and acknowledged, it will meet with the unanimous support of every true friend to the country. The best efforts of the Gioimum shall • be dedicated to the support of such principles, such j measures and such rulers. But let it be distinctly un derstood, that ihe G.orii ax can never comlc.-w.-nd to become an unqualified adherent to any party, the in terests of the people shall never be sacrificed to tiie am bition of a ft*v. For many ) ears past, this republic has been unhappi- I lv divided into two parties, each of which lias accused tiie other of entertaining assigns ami pursuing meas ures, ruinous to the welfare and dangerous to tne lib erties of the people. But all this tone our country has been marching, with giant 3i.ru os, to wealth, grandeur and renown; exaibitmgan unparalleled example of pre cocious greatness. In lhc* cry cradle fiiF her infancy she signalized herself by Tin t /lean expioi■ s—*nuy! she sprang into existence, like Minerva tfoin the .head of .lore, full grown at birth’ Whatever errors may have been committed, we should be in a great measure T*e-t conciled by contemplating the present wealth, strength, prosperity and gh vy of onr country. !t would be im proper to dismiss tliis subject, without adverting to Uie happy termination and glorious consequences of the last war. !t has produced a moral effect upon ibis nation, Which even one sees and feels, It has proved the val or and strength of the people; it has tested the conser vative and recuperative energies of our government; it has resuscitated Lire languishing spirit of patriotism, and rekindled the dynig.Jiume of our national glory—it has harmonized political discord; conciliated the animo sity of parties; cemented the union and friendship be ■ nveen the sister states, and thereby consolidated the scattered fragments of ou; national energy, >nto one im mense and irresistible mass of physical power.’ Our government is no longer considered an experiment. With regard to tins state, the utmost abilities of the Georgian shall I e devoted to its welfare. Commerce anil agriculture, which gtv© to Geor, ia a distinguished rank and importance m the uni- n, ffiali be objects of special attention—consequently , e- cn spec.es oi’ inter nal improvement which is calculated to advance die in erests of either, will fie regarded with a solicitous and zealous eye. Ihe improvement of our internal naviga tion and the estaolisfimeht ot a liberal and enlightened sy stem of education , are measures of the highest im portance to the welfare and reputation of Georgia, and must be ardently recommended by every man who un ‘ derstands the true policies of the slate.
