1t is stated that the Ex-Presdent of the United States, Mr. Madison has consented to be member of the Virginia Convention which is to assemble in few days at Richmond, to alter and revise the Constitution of the state. The main objects be effected by alter ing the constitution, we believe, are to apportion the representation by counties according to population, and to give to people who arc now debarred from voting the privilege of doing so. By the constitution us it now exists, it requires treeOld of considerable value to enable person to vote; and great majority of the Vgnans desirous to get rid of this aristo- cratica feature.

snmmittcd in their neighborhood, were laid
before the legislature at the last session,
md are herewith Submitted, for the con-
alteration Of this house. These obliga-
tions, taken in connection with those pub.
lished by Motgan, for the authenticity of
which. we have evidence ofthe most con.
ci,,sire. ms well as Of the most painful kind, J
too plainly show the truly appalling fact,
that those deuded men whose hands are
orobaliy stained with brothers. blood,
though polilcallyan morally wrong, were
rnnsonicaiiy right. This, IN the view Of
your committee, IS the most distressing and
alarming feature in the whole transaction.
10 the sincere patriot, To every citizen,
il affords matter for Craze reflection, that
these men, some of whom have had seats
in this house, and held high and respons.
bic stations, should have calculated with
so much confidence on being shielded from
public vcngencc, although guilty Of high
enormities, by the power and influence OF
n secret society. Whether they supposed
that their society afforded facilities for the
commission of CT ines, without the possbli-
ty Of detection, or whether they calculated
on corrupting the fountains Of justice, the
fact is equally interesting to every lover oi
his country. Did these men suppose, tho
masons in high stations would interpose the
broad shield Of their authority TO protecI
them in their high handed villainy, in their
preconcerted and deliberate" attack up
On the laws and constitution oftheir Coun-
try Did they suppose, that witnesses and
jurors, feeling themselves bound by mason
ic obligations, would lose sight oftheir du-
ty to their country and their God? Your
committee take no pleasure IN dwelling up
on this subiec,;s,il, it is one which requires
q thorough investigation. A society Of men
who meet in secret, embracing all ranks OF
life, comprising many men OF talents, anc
very large proportion Of those who hold
high and responsible stations, is looked ~
10 with confidence by its intelligent and
respectable members, asaffordlng sure pro-
lection from the consequence Of the most
infamous and dangerous crimes; and what
is worse, as binding them, in certain casSs
20 the commission of crimes. Yet this so
cicty boasts Of her charities, processes t.
teach the most expansive benevolcnce, and
carries in her public professions the volume
of inspiration. Why this confidence? How
do they expect protection in such cases,
except by trampin. under foot all that is
dear to us as frecmcD?

welfare Of your country has inspired. in
looking forward to the administration OF
my successor, IL becomes me perhaps only
to say. that hope they may prove unfound-
ed. To President Of the United Stales,
the favor OF the people is an instrument OF
benefcent power, more potent than an i'm
perial seeptre. But it is in the fortunes OF
nations, and especially in the improvement
of their condition. that the history OF their
benefaciors must be traced.-lt is in the
ages Of posterity this history must be read.
II in the reform of abuses which have es
capped the vigilance of my observation, the
President Of the United States shall intro
duce none Of deeper conseque nee, and OF
more alarming magnitude, ! shall myself
be ready to mingle in the voice OF gratula-
lotion at the deeper penetration or more ef
fcient energy. which shal! discern the la
tent defect, and apply the corrective reme'
dy.--Should the promise ofreform itselfbe
wasted upon trihes, ,undiscernable to the eye
of posierity. or be spent upon the palplta-
tions Of heart between the mbeDt and
the expectant Of official emolsme nts. the
nation will enjoy little benefit and suffer
little injury by the change. That is not a
plant, the root Of which will strike to the
centre, or the stem Of which will ascend
with fragrance 10 the skies. With you, my
countryrncn, ! am disposed to hope anu
pray for the best; 10 extend 10 the admins
tration every reasonable indulgence which
they may need; and to give them credit for
every good deed they may perform for the
promotion Of the general welfare.
Accept, gentlemen, for yourselves anG
those whom you represent, the rcspectfu
situations Of your fricndand fellow itizen

The rcplv of Mr. Adams 20 the letter ad
lrcssed to him by the citizens of two counties
ia New Jersey, is written with extraordinary
Ibility and elegance, and is an example OF
nagnanimity and forbearance which some of
his prominent political opponents should strive
to initiate. In this reply mr.. Adams express
'es no regret at tho termination of the late
presidential contest. Unlike his successor, be
cast, no uspcrsions upon those, who arc now
high in office and in the confidence of the
people. lie pays warm and mcrited tribute
of appreciation to the distinguished citizens
who were associated with him in the cabinet,
and concludes his letter, like true patriot,
with earnest wishes that those at present in
power, will fulfil the most sanguinc expecta
tlons OF their friends. Through life strictly
honest, consistent, and devoted TO tho inter.
csts of his country, mr.. Adams, like almost
every other man Of exalted merit and ability,
has been the peculiar object Of enmity and
calumny. lie is a who like tho worthless
Of old, would endure banishment, and even
death, rather than falter in the career of well
doing. and however he may have been re-
