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.
