AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION,
alias OPPOSITION 10 Mr.. ADAMs.--Mc
Dnfie's amendments TO the Constitution
was evidently introduced for the sole pur-
pose of serving as an apology to attack the
Administration. The people however are
satisfied, and well may they be,,with the
result of the Presidential election; they
therefore wish no amendments to the Con-
stituton, relative to the election of Presi-
dent, and consequently will not sustain
these uneasy spirits McDuffie e. Co. in
their peA-meH opposition to Mr.. Adams
The great difficulty this opposition has to
encounter is the PEOPLE; and another Sc
rious difficulty under which they labour, is
that they did not begin their work right
they were not so cunning in fixing the EN-
TERING WEDGE as they hattered themselves
they had been. Little as we know of the
science Of political Juggling we could fur

NsW York, .april 1.--Curiosity prompted us
yesterday to visit Mrs. Leigh's Institution for
correcting lmpediments OF Speech" She has be-
tween 20 and so pupils under daily tuition, and
who present one of the most gratifying scenes we
ever beheld. Tosee those who had Tor years been
deprived OF the pleasure and facilities Of converse
ton successfully striving obtain an easy uterance,
and some amongst those who had literally abandon
ed all attempts at conversation with strangers was
scene more easily felt than described.
We are credibly informed that Or. Mitchell, to.
gether with three other professional and scientific
gentlemen, visited the institution. and were in ho-
norabe confidence initiated into its principles by
Mrs Leigh; and we are authorised to state that
those gentlemen we're not only highly gratifed
with the proofs, together with their personal obser.
vations, OF the success of her pupils but unani-
mously expressed perfect confidence in the iplal-
liby of her system. This puts out of the uues.
ton all suspicos of quackery deception, which
are generally attached to secret remedies.
We have ourselves seen number of persona
who were great stammerers before they entered
the institution, and have ever since spoken with per.
feet ease and fuency and we have further learnt
from those who have been corrected that it IS az
impossible TO relapse into their former habit, when
once corrected according to this sys,em, as would
be for person who never had stammer ed to get
into such habit. Nat .adr.
