AN INTERESTING WORK.
Mr. Richards ha. just received at his Book Store,
“Twoyears belore the Mast. A Personal Narrative
of Lite at Sen,” No. 10d of Harper’s Family Lilira
. ry. The narrative is from the pen of Mr. Richard
IL Dunn, Jon. ot Boston, who nnd irtook a lono
voyage to recover his health and constitution from
. 1 a threat lied danger of consumption. This work
has been highly commended, especially hy those
who are nc!|iiaiiHe<bvitli the writer. “It gives tm
j art ’"anl of his exp ii *ncc and adventures, as a nail
or before the ma<t, during a two years voyage to the
. euast ol C'ltlifornia; and it must he said, that it is the
' Ih?s| real narrative of life at sen, that has ever been
i I* is full of incidents, and present a picture
of Reamed, so graphic ami familiar, drawn from oc
currences us they transpired, that n i one can re id
without being deeply interested.”
Mr. Richards has also received No. l> of Muster
Humphrey's (Mock, hy Jso/.

' two hundred ond fifty dollar*,) ns almost (tin mount lo
‘ a total exclusion of that entire class, titer* I d>y giving,
' ns he would have induced the people lo believe, full
1 evidence of Ins attachment to Southern principles.

- if .1 had ii >t been for the cxl. bilion "fthc vote Juki

1 term inhohi/nnf ns that adopted in the New York
1 'Constitution. No person here supposes the term
inhabitant to apply to free negroes, so as to give
them the right of voting in Georgia. Reference
* was also made for the sake of analog s to the con
stitution of I’eim-x Ivnnia, where a similar term was
n<rd and w hich was held to la. 1 inapplicable to live
negroes. The constitution of that state also was
, iMi present, hut (hr article alluded to mid* as lid- j
: lows: j
. l/7/e/rll —Section I “In elections by Ili * clii- ,

Ac. Titiseon-litiilion was adopted in IVunsylva
nia in I7DD; and the language us d is even stronger
than that in New York; and yet, as I staled, mid
( which nobody denies, in that state, which is a free
1 slut •as is New York, negroes arc not considered
| entitled to vole; and they are excluded from the I
polls. The Editors ofthe Constitutionalist say this
derision was only in id • last year, (hat one decision
to that effect may have hoen made last year in (h I
stale is highly probable, and half a dozen of ilie
. same chanti l T may have been made ibis year is
I just as probable. It is immaterial wli *u a decision
! was mad'; it only declares what is and bus been the
| constitutional law of the land, and the rights grow- I
i ing out ol it from the time of its adoption, and the j
same w ill he repealed no doubt as long mid as often '
ias (here shall I e any one willing to contest it. It is
true that Mr. Cray say .*, “h * has yet to learn wlnil '
a decision ol tin* courts of I’eniisyKuoia has to do
' with llm constitution of New York; and this 100 is
very prolmlda. No doubt there are very many other
useful things (or him to learn. I wonder if In* has I
yet learned that apinddent of the I i.iti-d Slates is
not prohibited nnd r the constitution from holding
that office as oil'll as ii max he confided to him ? If
' lie haft, this is c 'Mainly u powerful evidence of a
fate improvement; and In may look forward to I lit*
I ini* wlnn he mix know a great many other things
that he does not know yet. The understanding
of the word-* in Georgia and I’einisv Ivnnia: tin* lat
i r Icing a nmi-shivcliohliii; stale; being the same,
furnishes a very safe guide in coming to a proper
eoiislrm lion, or meaning to he given to the law in
New York; and particularly as N 'xv York at th •
lime of tin* adoption of ill it old coii-litiilion xvnsa
slave stale.
IMv object was to ousxver tin* round declamation
of thus* xx ho talked so mncii id' the rights of free

a id in all theotlier slat *s, they voted illegally', or if
i! was the custom of the country to allow them a

s.ixs that they had the ronsfi/nfionnf right to vote

this BOAST ofa Whig Lieutenant Governor, for

I. iii now, in l irn, exiimin • rapidlx the prinei

ai d Hut xve are stopp 'd al llie threshold In the
I ti l that no declaration of principles or poliev has
h am ni. iih*. The con vent ion, which nominated < Min
eral Harrison, deemed it impolitic to issue an ad
dressto the people—a fair inference from which is,
Hi.il it contained materials 100 heterogeneous to re
e meile, ami opinions 100 obnoxious to proclaim.—
Following liiis example, th ’ candidate himscll has
refused io makcaiix d '(durations for the public eve,
although hi- prival ■ eoiiitiiuiiieaiioiis haxa; heen nn
iiieiun* 1 , and have been appealed to for very oppo-
Hl ' purposes, in dilVerent region-' of the count! x.—
W e ask yon, fellow -cili/. ns, if'this is a fair and hon
orable course towards the people? If the commu
nications of a candidate can he used privalelx for
electioneering purposes, xvhx should he hesitate to
publish hi* sen lime nI- to the x\ mid iu an aulheiitie
and umpiesiionahlc shape? Lhi- xvould put an end

dangerous families.
Since, th'ii, neither General Harrison, nor the
commit! a* who answers for liim.vx i.l make a public
authentic declaration of his present principles, wc
arc compelled to resort lu other means to obtain a
knowledge of them. It has been proved from the
record that In* spoke in favor of the standing army
of (hr elder Adams, w hich was nn object ol peculiar
dread mid aversion with the early Repuhlii an-. lie
received hi* first npiioiiitinciil iVom the high toned
Federal ruler, as hi- last was bestowed by tin* son, i
kindred in prineiph* as well ns in blood. W'hcii
i charged with Federalism, on the floor of the Senate,
hx John Randolph, who asserted it boldly, on his
own authority, lie admitted the allegation in part,
and hut faintly denied tin* rest; although a garbled
account of this debate, xvhieh give- him n divided
triumph over the orator of Roanoke, has been pub
lished amongst the political documents pot forln by
hi- tVi nds, xx hich In* has. wc would fain iiope, inml
vriiniitlx s.un tinned. He is certainly pledged to
the most ohnoxioiis doctrines of that I'Vd-ral school.
His devotion to internal improvements, in every xa
riety of form, and a protective larilf, was so ardent
as to induce him to recommend a suspension of the
pax limit of the public d hi, for the purpose of ac
ciiiiiiihiling a surplus, to Ik* applied to (heir ciieoui -
agcnmil. So indent was his support ol the latter,
as to make him declare, that he would witness the
••Mrcmesi evils pivdii led from it, before he would
consent (oil- ahandoiini'iit. lie proposed, more
over, that, vx itli the eon- lit of the Southern Stales, 1
