a. Queen "Democrat,' which pointed out the mis-
statement In the "Consttutional Char;s,' of some
very important facts respecting the qualification Of
voters IN Massachusetts and Maryland Those who

the manner III which he has met and atteinniad To
repel the charges which have been brought against
his Charts, mast prove morying to his political
ifiends, as II IS amusing TO his Opponents Before
proceeding further, will state the c;,arp.s bruoIt
against the Constitutional Charts and their autbor
and also the arguments from which Mr.. G.rne!t so
trlumPhanly claims their rcutation in order that tho
public may nave correct view of the to-tuols course
ne has pursued IN defending his Charts of the nrnvo
ricatio By winch he has attempted evade the force
OF truth, OF tho sophstry by which he has inyaraIv
n, Tho
correctness of hs Maps and to throw back tic cl,ar
oi ignorance aud misrepresentation o. those who
have detected his errors.
In the Enquirer OF the 4th inst. the DaD,ocr,t,
says:--''The author of constitutional Churts or ra
ther the compiler of these political mans ia NOT nor
iectiy acquainted 'rth what has been done by other
States III relation 20 the right of suffrage. lie did
not know iheprcgrcss of Republican principles in Mas

to be as grossly mistaken He represents her as reoui-
ring of voters, moncd qualification of SOC That

support these assertions respecting Mr.. Garnctt and
the qualification of voters in Massachusetts and Ma
ryland, drawn from the statements in the ssCon
stitutional Charts" The "Amercan's Guide - aud
the corroborating testimony derived from the per-
sonal knowledge the Boston Patriot, and the king
ana Queen Dcmncrat This charge against the
correctness of the charts and their author has been
met by Mr.. Garnet. and with an air of affected fri
u'nph refuted by the following statement: Gas TO the
'DeInocrut'S' facts what he asserted 70 he s,Icb
ii II pity that he did not study thcm somewhat more
m0turey before he ventured publicly present them
with triumphant air of accurate research in n
the Consultations Of Massachusetts and of MARYLAND
and OF exul alton at the supposed detection of nv err
rors;" and again, "what this writer 1.-THE Democracy
says of Massachusetts, is his naked assertion with
out the shadow Of proof, and probably taken from

Boston Patriot, in reply to which Immediately sent
