Eriroi ria Letter from GenHeh,nR IN the
te,stera paa o. Pennsylvania, TO has
.G1end IA THIS city.
Il have read Mr.. LeiglI's panegyric on
the constitution of Virginia, ender the
humble name of " substitute" with much
interest ; not because his statements were
correct, his arguments conclusive, or his
deductions fair, for they were neither but
because il is useful To read both sides of
a controversy, as well as amusing to see
with What artifce and political ohicanery
the W0rSe may be made To appear the bet
Ter reason. ] have not for long time
scen a better specimen of those qualities
Than Is contained IN the article before me-
Ii, says Nj Leigh, the present order of
things is disturbed, it is impossible to fore
src where the changes may end. II says
the holy alliance, W" permit any changes,
The people will claim the right 10 change
again, and the rcns " i'll be lost. In both
cases the basis of the argument is, that the
peopl" cannot be safely trusted with the
form of government IN their hands, but in
the former IT is artfolIy urged To every in
dlA Iduai that the precise amendments
which lac wishes, cannot, probably, he OBJ
tanned, aud therefore that he risks Ger.
taInty for an uncertainty in seeking for
change. The rights Of every indn idual in
society are divided by orr best writers in-
10 three classes the right of personal Ii
berry, the right of personal security, aud
the night Of nllrate property. II will not
be disputed hy Mr.. Leigh himself, that it
Is as much the duty of government to pro-
tcct one of thcseclasscs rights as another.
Now, which of these classes is the most
certainly tire first aud the
last Is less essential than elher of the
others. Bat according To Mr Leigh, none
hnt the holders of property, and that too,
of particular kind, have amy rights, which
they are entitled 10 protect, by having a
voice in making the laws by which they
are governed Such, and the doctrines
generally contained in The "substit IT," can
nrver be made congcnial with reppbhcens,
whatevcr may he their reception by the
citizens of Virginia.
Nj seems still in obscurity as to the
presidential election. The Jackson aud
Monroe correspondence has cooled off
many of the friends of old hickory III this
state, where every man, woman, and
child. retreats with Il kind of " holy hor-
ror' from any contact with tire svinc's
flesh of federalism. Bat they have gone
too far tn retreat, and jackson win have
the electoral vote of the state, although
should the election go to the house Of Re
presentativcs, the vote will be for Clay.
Mr.. LoWrie's combat with the Presi-
dent aud General jackson, is viewed in
lights ms various as the different MEDIUMS
through Which il is examined. One took
i peep at it through Mr.. Crawfor's green
giGSscS, and instantly detected ON the
forehead of the General the mark of the.
boast of federalism, and fancird Mr..
LuWrie armed with lthnrcl's spear, whose
potcnt touch rendered the hidden letters
lrgible. Another elevated the Grnrral's
h"ld telescope to his eye, and discovered
A. a distance, Mr.. Lowrle riding, not the
mustnreeS at New Orleans, bot the private
rscrutur OF Mr.. Monroe. Mr. Chy's
friends there affect 10 think that it will
throw jackson brhud their f., oritc, aud
prevent his cGmng into the house, in
which event they fcci cofdent Of success.
The vote of Ohio is becoming every day
more uncertain. Clay. Jackson, and a
dams, each have tickets for electors.n

South CnroIinr will in no event throw
AWAY her votr; and il it be not manifest
aud certain, that General jackson can he
elected Ivy her preponderating vote, then
IT will most individually be given to Mr.,
Adams There is not politician IN the
