The examination of hv scholars which

delity on the part of their preceptress;
In Painting, Rh etoric, Chemistry and!
Ge grephy and in all the classes, they
have rarely s en su h profi iency and
ac Miracj. The young ladies arc
taught to draw maps and explain the
principles of Geography and Ancient
History as they go. Some of the little
girls exhibited maps and charts >f
their own drawing that would have
done credit to any age. They would
hope that all who can will patronize a j
school, so deserving of support and j
Encouragement.

FIIOM THE CHAKLKstON CITV UAIETTK.
Synopsis of the Amended Constitution
of Virginia.
The first article makes ol force the Bill
of Rights prefixed to the Constitution
which the reader will find in another part
of our day's paper.
The second article makes the Legisla
ture, Executive and Judiciary Depart
ments seperatt and distinct and precludes
any person from enjoying more than one
of them at a tine—except the Justices of
i.he County Courts who are eligible to
either House cf Assembly.
The third frticle divides the Legisla
ture into two cistinct branches pf Govern
ment, forming, however, one House of
Assembly. Then, in the same article,
second sectioa, follows the distribution of
delegates for tie House of Delegates, be
ing one of the iwo first branches of the
House or Assembly as above divided The
third section, provides for tbe distribution
of delegates U the Senate—the other
branch of the General Assembly. Tbe
fourth section of the same article, makes
it the duty of the Legislature to reappor
tion the delegates every ten years, which
reapportionrnent shall continue of force
till the next regular decennial reappor
tionment- The fifth section, gives them
the power so to reapportion throughout
the Commonwealth that (he number of
Delegates shall not exceed 150 nor of
Senators 3G. The sixth section provides
the number of members to which the state
is entitled in the General Congress, by
apportioning as nearly as may be, among
the cities, boroughs and towns of the state
and according to their respective num
ber of the persons, including those bound
to service for a term of years, and inclu
ding Indians not taxed, three fifth* of all
other persons. The seventh section, re
lates to the qualifications of a senator ad
member of the Douse of Delegates.—The
eighth provides the compensation fortheir
service*—prevents any increase of com
pensation during incumbency and denies
the eligibility of Senator or Delegate, du
ring the term for which he was elected to
any civil office of emolument under the
Commonwealth except such office as may
be filled hy elections of the peoole. By
the ninth section, the general assembly
shall meet once or oftener every year.—
Neither House, without the consent of the
other is permitted to adjourn for more
than three days, nor to any other place
than in that which they have been sitting.
A majority onstitfites a quorum; but a
smaller number may adjourn from day to
day and be authorized to compel the at
tendance of absent members. Each House
shall choose its own speaker, appoint its
own officers, settle its own rules and di
rect writs of ele.tion; but in vacancies by
death or resignation during vacation,
writs of election may be issued by the Gov
ernor.—Each House shall judge of the
qualification of its own members, punish
them for disorderly behaviour and with
concurence of two thirds, expei them.
The tenth section requires all laws to ori
ginate with the House of Delegates, to be
approved or rejected by the Senate The
eleventh scctioh commands, the privilege
of Habeas Corpus, in no case to be sus
pended. The Legislature shall pass no
bill of attainder, nor any ex post facto
laws, nor any law impairing the obligation
of contracts; nor any law abridging the
freedom of speech or the liberty of the
press. By it, none shall be compelled to
frequent or support any place of religious
worship, nor in anywise, either in his per
son or iiis goods suffer infringement of his
opinions or belief, <£*c. Sfc. but it shall be
left to every person to select his religious
instructor and to make for bis support
such private contract as he shall please.
The twelfth section gives it to the Legis
lature to provide by law that no person
who sends or accepts a challenge or tights
a duel shall be capable of holding any
civil or military office of profit or emolu
ment. This provision extends also to a
similar exclusion of those concerned any
way in the promotion of a duel. The
thirteenth section provides for the im
peachment of Judges who neglect their
duties or are guilty of malpractice ia of,
r
fioe, but limits the judgement to removal
and futhur disqualification to any other of*
fice of honor or trust.
The fourth article refers to the election
of Governor, he is eligible for three years
and for three succeeding years after his
term of office expires, ineligible. He is
elected by the General Assembly. A
mong his privileges he is permitted to
grant pardons, at discretion, except where
the prosecution has been carried on by
the legislature. The fifth section of the
i same article, calls for a Council of the
State, to consist of three members of As
sembly.
The fifth article refers to the Judiciary.
The Judicial power is vested in a Supreme
Court of Appeals, and in such Superior
Courts as the Legislature may establish.
The Judges are to hold therr offices dur
ing good behaviour. The law which abol
ishes a Court, does not deprive n Judge
of his office, unless two thirds of the \h
sembly concur. The judges in office at
present reman* so, until the termination
of the first Legislative Session after the
adoption of the new Constitution. Writs
shall run in t!ie Dame of the Common
wealth and be tested, as with us, by the
name of the Clerk of tbe Court, from
whence they issue.
FROM Til* NEW ENOLAND REVIEW*
AMERICAN LYDIANS.
ft is characteristic of an independent
mind in every controversy fairly to exam
ine what may be urged on both -ides be
fore determining in behalf of either. This
duty becomes peculiarly imperative when
the matters in controversy are of vital im
portance to the interest of extensive
communities. Few questions in law or
politics are so clear as that many plausible
suggestions may not be mad** on both
sides*
It is therefore w th no small degree of
surprise that we have watched tne pro
gress of public feeling in this vicinity oil
the subject of the North American Indi
ans. Our Newspapers have been crowd
ed with essays, and our land deluged with
circulars and tracts* regarding the wrongs
which the Indiana are about to receive
i from the hand of the Federal Government,
and of a sister State; and even the Pulpit
has been occupied by asserters of lndiiu
i rights and champions of Indian secui ity.
But amidst all this excitem nt, and out
cry, aud clamor, we have seldom met with
a man who had examined more than onti
side of the quesuon! Strange as it may
as it certainly is, 10 alt
pretentions of candour and fairness* the;
community has been thrown into agitation
—meetings of men and women have, been
called—-resolutions adopted and circulars
written, upon the represenration*- of otut
party only —the other b'ine wh<*ly uu
heard* and its remnnstiances disregarded.
We thi<>k it wII becomes those bo
have the quiet employments of life and
the seats of learning to indite circulars and
lectures which are calculated to array
one poi tion of the Union against another—*
first, to inquire whether some part of the
representations which they act upon* ex
aggerate* and re echo* are not| the
j offspring of prejudice, selfishness, bigotry
lor sectional feeling. Should n ia
the end appear that a preinatme e*
iiance on the -t en enta of D nn
ymous writer—nusifted by an_, op
ponent,——unexplained by any impar
tial looker on—has led the comtnt*-
nity into a course of conduct highly im
proper and ridiculous, the mortificatioo
will fall not alone on the leaders of the
affair, but must extend in some measure,
to all involved in it We mean nottq
impugn the statements, of the writer un
der the name of William Penn,* bur we
apprehend it will be found that not a few
of his conclusions and reasonings are fa
lacious and unsound; and that his extracts
from treaties and judicial decisions, if not
garbled* yet can hardly claim the merit of
fairly exhibiting the tenour a*d cor ect
import of the documents bom whi- . hej
are derived*
At any rate, we confess we are rtifi.
ed—we are astonished to t e CommS
oity excited to extravagaoce bj ths
No. 33.
