UiUnfide some of them, to be copied nl

lug, however, is recommended by too
many considerations not to be immedi
ately interesting to every body.—JV. hit.
On the l'tth inst. the question being
on a resolution for dividing the common-
tvealth into districts for the choice of Se
nators, according to population, (instead
of according to property, as heretofore.)
Mr. Adams, the Ex-President, addres
sed the Convention ns follows :
•• I rise with feay and trembling, to say
a few words on this question. { It is
forty years since I have intermingled in
debate in any public assembly, My me
mory and strength of utterance fail me so
that it is utterly-impossible for me to dis
cuss the subject on the broad ground on
which gentlemen who have spoken be
fore me have considered it. The con
stitution declares that all men are born
free and equal. How are they born free
and equal ? Is the North American In
dian born with an equal right to his fa
ther’s bow ? No ; no man pretends that
all are born with equal property, but
with equal rights to acquire property.—
The great object is to render property
secure. Without the security of pro
perty, neither arts, nor manufactures,
uor commerce, nor literature, nor sci
ence, can exist. It is the foundation up
on which civilization rests. There
would be no security for life, and liberty
even, if property were not secure.--
Society is a compact with every individ
ual, that each may enjoy his right for the
common good. In the state of nature the
Indian has no defence for hi* little hut,
or his venison, or any tiling that he ac
quires, but his own strength. Society
furnishes the strength of the whole com
munity for protection of the property of
each. One of the most difficult ques
tions now to be settled is, in what man
ner the representation in the two bran
ches of tire legislature shall be organized.
H it could proceed upon the principle of
every vote havingan equal right through
out society, I should agree to it. Hut
this is impossible. Every town cannot
have a representative, and the repre
sentation be in proportion to the popula
tion. Between the small towns of Hull
or Q,uincy, and Boston, the inequality is
so great that a departure from the prin
ciple of population is necessary. We
must, therefore, get some principle of
expediency. I should be satisfied with
Jhe constitution as it stands, if it were
possible to retain it. The report of the
select committee is a compromise, n mu
tual concession of various parts. The
large towns have made quite as grqat con
cessions ns auy part of the country. Suf-
Jidk is to have but six Senators ; in pro
portion to its property it would have
more. The eloquent gentleman from
Koxbury has alluded, with propriety, to
the ancient republics of Athens & Home.
Mv memory is too defective to go into
details ; but I appeal to his fresher rea
ding^ whether in Athens there were not
Infinitely greater advantages given to
property than among us ? Aristides ru-
'ined the constitution of Solon by destroy
ing the balance between property and
numbers, and in consequence a torrent
of popular commotion broke in and de
solated the republic.
Let us come to Rome ; property was
tnliuitely more regarded there than here,
& it was only while the balance was main
tained that the liberties of the people
were preserved. Let us look at thesuh-
jeet in another point of view. IIow ma
ny persons are there in this country who
have no property ? There are more
without it than with it. If it were left
to mere numbers, those who have no
property would vote us out of our hous
es. In France at the time of the revolu
tion, those who were without property
were in the proportion of GO to one.—
It was by destroying the balance that the
revolution was produced. All writers
agree that there are twenty persons in
Great Britain that have no property, to
one that has. If the radicals should suc
ceed in obtaining universal suffrage, they
will overturn the whole kingdom, and
turn those who have property out -fl their
houses. The people in England in favor
of universal suffrage are ruining them
selves. Our ancestors have made a pe
cuniary qualification necessary for offi
cers and necessary forelectors; and all
ftie wise men of the world have agreed
in the same thing. I consider the ques
tion of universal suffrage as connected
yvkth this, relating to the Senate, and of
more importance. If the principle of
populaNgu i n apportioning Senators and
'Represtvjtatives could be carried ibro’
I should -jte f or jt. But as it cannot,
and as I the scheme proposed
as equitable.,3 any thing that can be in

It is necessary to maintain the balance be

the slave holding states their due portion of

cannot hope for the establishment of more
than two more states who will feel with us.
Look to the North—The whole sweep of
the Mississippi, Missouri and Columbia ri
vers, are open to emigration from the north
ami to the formation of new states. It is a
region larger than the settled part of the. U-
nron, and will give a preponderance to north-

House of Representatives of Kentucky, Sa
turday, December 8.
Mr. McAfee laid on the table the follow
ing resolutions.
WheHeas the General Assembly of the
state ol Kentucky, has viewed with much in
terest, the progress of the negotiations be
tween the government of the United States
and Spain, and the conclusion of the late
treaty between them, by which the Florida*
were ceded on the one hand, and the eouti-
rry lying west of the Sabine on Hie other.—
A spirit of great moderation and forbearance
lias uniformly characterized the American
government, of which that.treaty itself af-
lords strong evidence, whilst Spain has con
stantly displayed an unwillingness to satisfy
our just demands, and has resorted to the
most unworthy evasions and procrastinati
on. If the treaty referred to had been
promptly ratified by Spain, this General As
sembly would have seen with regret the sa
crifices which the United States had made
to concord and arnity ; hut it would have
been consoled by the reflection, that the Fln-
ridas hud been obtained, an acquisition which
it. wishes, in common with tiie rest of the
people of the U. States. Notwithstanding the
confidence with which we had a right (from
the terms and conditions of the treaty) to an
ticipate the read; ratification of it by Spain,
she has rejected it, and thereby absolt'ed the
American government from all obligation to
limit its just demands by the stipulation*
which it contains. Conceiving that the right
rthe United States to that part of Lnuiuia-
i which lies between the Sabine and the
Ilia del .Yurie, is as clear as to any'other part
of that territory, and lias been folly establish
ed ; and considering that the western coun
try is deeply interested in the preservation of
it, not merely on account of tbe. value of the
country, itself, but because of the hazard to
which (if it were in the hands of a foreign na
tion) New-Orleans and the outlets of the
Mississippi might he exposed, the General
Assembly, after all that had passed, would
see with increasing regret the revival of said
Treaty :—Therefore,
Resolved by the (itneral Assembly rf the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, That our Sena
tors in Congress he instructed and our Re
presentatives he requested (if said treaty lie
again laid before Congress, or either branch
of it, to be ratified and carried into effect) to
use their best efforts to obtain the rejection
of it.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Ge
neral Assembly, that the interest and safety
of the United States forbid the relinquish
ment of their right to the country between ihe
Sabine and fk-t Ilia del .Yorte. ’-V

INTERESTING NEWS.
Arrived at this port last evening, the
schooner Lady’s Delight, Scribner, 20
days from Curracoa. By this arrival we
have received a complete file of papers
to the 25th November.
It seems that (lie proposition made by
Bolivar to Morillo, for a reconciliation A
cessation of arms, was only a russe de
guerre played off by the former to draw
Moriilo’a forces towards San Fernando
do Apure, while Bolivar was to make a
dash upon Carmens. Baez, in the mean
time had sent OOOi) cattle across the A-
pure for the use nf his troops, who were
shortly to follow, and thus keep Murillo
in check whilst Bolivar possessed himself
of the capital. The project however,
miscarried, and Morillo, instead ot pro
ceeding to San Fernando, directed his
forces against the Independents at Trux-
illo, where lie intended to attack them
on the 12th.
The Spanish commissioners had, not
withstanding, proceeded to the rendez
vous appointed for them, to meet those
of the Independents, if they were to be
futmil.
An order had been sqnt out from Spain
to allow the importation of all books into
the Spanish provinces.
Jamaica papers to the 8th of Novem
ber state that St. Martha has been taken
by the independents. The news is said
to have been brought by a schooner from
Saranilla.

vov. aavs,.accounts from Carnccns, dated
9lh inst. were received from Tucuyn,
Murillo’s quarters. He was to march
the next day to attack .he enemy near
Trujillo. His force consisted of trom 4
to 5000 men, including Tello’s division.

getting up to them lie made a precipitate
return ; and his army is now reduced to
2t>00 men, who nre followed by about
8000 men and women, emigrating from
the kingdom.
“ R is now a quarter past 5 o’clock,
