THE MORTGAGE.

In order to avert the Indignation of,hc
people OF Madison county from the Con-
vention candidate, who has offered to
mortgage his farm to them, binding him
self, on certain conditions, to procure the
removal Of the seat OF government to
Alton, the Convention editor has paro-
died an article which lately gave an in
,imation of the fact, SO as to apply TO an
anti-convention candidate.
Now defy the convention editor to
produce any evidence that Mr.. Church
i'll ever offered his bond or mortgage,
for the purpose of procuring votes. And
further, | state explicitly, that I am Pre-
hared TO hrove ,hat Mr.. West did say
that he would give his mortgage, on
terms and condition similar to those men
toned in the article relating to that SUBJ
iect, which was published in the Specta-
tor. Let him deny it il he can.

Vera Cruz to the 11th of April. A passenger

As measure ofpolicv, the session had been
declared perpetual, and no member allowed
to absent himself, under very severe penalty.
The Provinces had not surrendered to the
Congress any of the rights and privileges. and

the latter except when their interest prompts
them to do so. The Provinces all make their
own laws, levy their own taxes and duties.

GENTLEMEN-The extreme sickness

done, to prevent diseases. Feeling a

ter the following advice to the public
and especially to those who have made
the inquiry.
Fill up OF drain all ponds or reservoirs
OF stagnant water, however small thew
may be, in the immediate vicinity of your
dwelling--even a barrel OF stagnant rain-
water, has been known to generate dis
eases through whole family, and should
therefore never be suffered to stand until
II begins to emit adisagreeab!c smell. II
is better to f!lihan drain them, because
when drained, the mud at the bottom
being exposed TO the action of ,ne sun,
emils more offensive effluvia for few
days, than the water by "nich II was CO.
yered would have dcne. -
Suffer no mater, of any description, to
lie in heaps, and pntrlly in the neighbour
hood of your residence, during the sick
iy season--particularly animal mater.

tanners and hatlers; who should be care

CONVENTION CONSISTENCY.

"The Republican" Of last week re-
iterates the assertion. that slavery is NOT
the object of the proposed convention,
and follows this assertion with two arti-
cles copied from another paper( of course
approved by the editor) which advocate
the convention on the ground that slave
ry is necessary forthe welfare OF the state.
Does this nameless editor think the
people fools, that he publishes such
barefaced contradictions j! . 1.

representation, there would be great dan.
ger that the minority would introduce
slavery.
II understand the drift OF the editors
long essay, it is to persuade US to intro
duce slavery, and then go TO iaw TO ger
rid off. Then we might witness the
glorious uncertainty of the law" This
would be fine fun for the lawyers; but
! do not know what other people could
gain by it. .s4g
The editor of the Republican again
touches the subject of submitting the
new constitution TO the people, and says
that the legislature has the right TO de-
clare that the acts OF the convention shall
be submitted TO tho people. Why, so
have L, and SO has any man blu, mill the
convention be bound 10 obey? Certainly
not; and if the editor will turn TO his
own paper Of April 7, he will find that
writer who calls himself Juhus ridicules
the idea. But even if it were so, il the
feohte, jim convention assembled, were
bound to observe and obey all the de-.
crees which the legislature might be
pleased toIpass-how would that better
the case : Is the legislature more trust
worthy than the correlation The same
unequal apportionmem governs in both
cases. The minority Of the heohle are
represented by a majority ofthe tegisla-
ture, and the case would te the same in
the convention. There i therefore no
safety in noting for the eoApention until
a nezv census shall be taken, and neu
ahhortion ment made.
tits remarkable that the editor of the
Republican has never attempted to deny
the very unequal apporliopmen, of re-
presentation which now exists. On this
subject he is as silen, as death. Why
does he not try TO disprove it, or show
that ii is perfectly republican and RICH,
for the minority 10 rule!
There is something very twistiele in
the conduct Of the convention party.
Their editors, and other scriblers DENY
that slavery is the objectof the conven-
ton but when VIC prove that all the lead
ing conventionsts have avowed that
their object is slavery, then they turn
short about, and say, " the fact OF those
gentlemen wishing slavery, is, at least,
pretty good evidence that it would be for
the interest Of the country" Thus they
are constantly urging the expectancy OF
slavery, and as constantly vocifera,ing
that it isnot their object, and that ii can
not be introduced. The people will ne
yer believe them until they evince more
consistency than they have heretofore
displayed. 5.. COMMON SENSE.

FOR THE SPECTATOR,

! 1t is common for the advocates oil
slavery to say that if slavery is not admit
ted, the state will be filled up with free
negroes. Such people appear to have
lost sight Of the nrefessed object Of many
OF their leaders. BY referring to the re-
port OF the minority of the committee Of
the House of Representative OF this
state, on the subject oil slavery and kid
mapping, it viii be found that they dis
claimed any intention of admitting
unlimited slavery they only wished 10
bring slaves, into The state. and alter they
had ser9sdoVlI Ihey were old, to Sc. them
at liberty. his was the Benevolent plan
OF the slayeites in our legis lature: and
tits recommended to the careful atten-
ton OF those who are so fearful OF having
the state filled up with free negroes.
What reader way can be devised OF peo-
pling the state with free negroes, than
the proposed plan Of permitting slave
holders 10 bring their. slaves hitler, and
after they are old and worn out in slave
ry, to turn them loose upon the world,
10 become public charge, or to gam
their living by pilfering What de-
ligh,ful state ofsocietv The honest and
industrious farmer, who scorns to live by
the misery of his fellow man, would still
feelhis full share Of The evil, en,ailcd up
on society by this state of things. All
bis movable property mustbe kept I'M
der lock and key; and he must pay his
share OF the expense Of supporting such
free negroes as have become public
charge. n-as.
Such being the plan of the convent ion
party, let all who do not wish to have
the state filled up with frce-negroes, vote
against the convention. What ever may
be. said in favor Of the natural qaalitica.
tons ofthe blacks, think allwill agree that
a man who'has passed so or 80 years in
slavery and vice-who never was virlu-
Gus, because he never had any induce
mcnt TO be so-would not be very likely
to make very good neighbour or
good citizen. The condition in which
his'site has been passed, units him for
society, and renders him an obiec. Of dis
gust; while his sudden ernancip alton
makes him saucy and arrogant.
live have more free negroes in the
state than are desirable, lei US not, by
supporting the convention, open the
door for the Introduction Of more. Those
now in the state may be induced and
assisted TO cmigrate to Hay,i or to Afri-
ca, where they can enjoy the privileges
OF liberty and equality. And such regu-
lations may be made BY the legislature
as will tend to discourage this class Of
people from emigrsting to this STATE.
We want neither slaves nor free negroes.
They are both improbable members Of
society, and ought both to be avoided
rather than invited. Let US therefore
oppose the Convention, the object Of
which IS to introduce both. w.

Whoever will be at the pains to con-
suit the constitutions OF the several states,
will find the above statement substantial
ly> correct. .s
That the principle of slavery tends
to aristocrary, no one will pretend to de.
ny. Where one has, from his, lnia.lcy,
been accustomed to, absolute rule and
authority, he ALMOST necessarily becomes
dcspot. = The, love OF power is natural
to human naturs;, ans, where it can be
exercised under the forms Of law, and
the sanctions Of society, il will extend to
the subversion Of all right. That great
estates exist in slave states, whereby
whole tracts Of country become subject
to the ownership and caprice of one in
dividual, to the dspopulation. Of neigh
borhoods, ii equally true. The above
view will exhibit where liberty is found
and freedom dwclls. You my fellow
