THE CONSTITUTION.

ton, the subject Of the amendments to the
Constitution seems to be overlooked. In a
few days the people will be called upon in
their respective towns, to act dsfnitirely on
the subject. We have, therefore, copied,
this week, one Of several articles in Spring
field paper, and shall next week present our
readers with others of them; not because we
assent to every position of the writer, but be-
cause they are the most sober and argumenta.
tive Of all that we have seen written on the
subject since the rising of the Convention.

CONSTITUTIONAL. /.
The third article in the Declaration
OF Rights is, without doubt, most
prominent part of our system. shall
first state the substance Of las it now
stands, and then the alterations pro-
posed.
The second article having secured
the most free and universal federation
in religious worship. the third article
in substance enjoins it upon the Legis.
lat0re to require towns, parishes, and
other religious societies, TO provide for
the maintenance OF pubEick worship,
and the support Of publick Protestant
teachers. when such provision is not
made voluntarily. 1t then enjoins eve.
~ person to attend publick worship, if
he can conveniently or eonscieasiouslv,
and provides that every person may ap-
propriate the money he pays to support
puolick teachers Of his own sect, if there
be any Of his own sect or denomination
on whom he attends, otherwise ii is TO
be paid to the parish teachers. This
rule applies to protestants of one de-
nomination as much as another. Ifthe
majority Of a town are Methodists, Bap-
lists or Universities, they stand upon
an equal iootingvith Congregationalis,s.
Under the Constitution as il now stands.
it has been settled as the law of the
State-that the form of Church Gov.
ernmeot and mode Of discipline and not
the articles of faith, are to decide wheth-
er the teachers are of the same or Of a
different sect or demon ination-all E.
piscopalians, all Melhodists, all Bap,ists
and Congregationalists are of the same
sect or denomination, and each Of the a.
bove are of different sects.
1t has also been decided that it is not
necessary that person, should be tax.
ed to the town or parish minister tax
and then draw out his money, but If he
be Of different denomination it is not
necessary he should he taxed. A ques-
ton was also made whether the teacher
must notbe the teacher Of an incorpora-
ted society, and it was once decided that
he must. Ii has been since determin-
ed BY the Supreme Court that the Com
stitution speaking of religious societies
included as we'll unincorporated as in.
corporated-and 1t has also been decid.
cd that nonresident proprietor of land
il Of different denomination from the
parish or town 10 which II lies, may

of an Ex-Principal Dragoman, and a
former Hospodar of Wallachia, and final
