say among other things that II Is unconstitutional. Let
US see: In the 9Th and 9th Sections of the 9th Ar
nGIe OF the Constitution OF Connecticut, we find the
SEC. 5. The :Selectmen and Town Clerk of the
several towns, shall decide the qualifications of
electors, at such times and in such monner MAY BE
PRESCRIBED BY LAW"
SIC G. Laws shall be made to support The priUilege
OF free suffrage, PRESCRIBING THE MANNER OF REGULA
TING AND CONDUCTING THE MEETINGS OF ELECTORS, &c.
And yet we are told by the sapient Editors and ora
tors OF the Administration, that the Registry law which
thus "prescrlbes the manner of regulating and con-
ductng the meetings of electors Is demonstrations
all! But we have heard OF repeated instances IN
which the voters supporting the Administration have
compared the Registry law with the Constitution, and
have become satisfied of the justice and constitutions
atty of he Law, and have expressed the utmost dis
gust at the cutlery which their presses have made Oh

PHILADELPHIA, March 81, lS4O
The elections for Aldermen, &c. being the first UNI
der the constitution, took place yesterday, and
have resulted rather untauoray to our cause in this
city and the Incorporated district; this is, in some
measure ing to the division in the party caused by
the unsettled question of resumption, and the excite
ment raised by the wings on the subject of the banks
currency, &c. We elected but one regularly nomn
aed Aldermen in all of the fifteen wards. The editor
of the American Sentinel ultra bank democrat,
ing supported by portion of the wings, and in
quence of there being two wing candidates running
was elected but in the thirteen other city, wards
wings were elected in six of the seven wards OF the
Northern Liberties where the alleged frauds last wear
were committcd] the wings succeeded; and in three
of the four wards Of Spring Garden, three wards OF
Moyamensng, and one in Southwark. Shoul. net
tiers continue in The present unsettled state shall not be
abnJ: sat
county neat fail. Last fall our majority in the couny
uaS about $500. So zoe 90.
The Local Eiections.-The result of the Ward and
Township elections in the city and county OF Phia-
depha, on Friday last, evinced most wholesome
state Of public feeling on the subject of the Presiden
cy. The great increase of the Harrison Democratic
vote in the Districts Of Southwark. Movamensing,
Northern Liberties, Spring Garden, KensingOn and
Germantown, prove concusively that the old Hero
has etecuoIv rerolufionieed the country. Charles
Navor has been triumphanv sustained and the To-
nv lnGersol as emphatcallv rebuked. Col. JOHN
ct of the State received but twelve votes for Alder
man of the Third Ward. What renders it more i'm
porlant an evidence Of the rapidly declining for.
tunes of Van Burensm is, that the Ward in which he
was a candidate gave more than $50 majority last
October for the Loco Foco ticket! Now the same
ward has elected two Harrison lnspectors!

n
man who has been one. and warm supporter of
Martin Van Buren, too say the other day, that he did
not ANYTHING to prevent the poor people in the
town where he lives from starving to death before
next fall, unless there could be change in the times
never the time before, said he but what could
raise $500 before breakfast if wanted it, but now
do not believe could borrow one hundred cents in
the whole town. There are good many manufac-
turing establishments in the town where live, and
the times such that they obliged Ia STOP and
consequently throw their hands of employ, and now
they are about the streets with nothing do and the
most gloomy prospects before them, l: is too bad
said he and with shake of the head he added, they
know the of their troubles and the first Mon
day of April they will do their part in bringing back
the golden DAYS Of our prosperity, by marching to the
polls under the banner of HARRISON and REFORM.
Hartford COurant.
Mr., M'Ginnitv of the Times continues to conceal
from his readers the fact that the story he published Of
a great fraud committed by the Wings Of the third
Congressional district, PENNSYLVANIA, has been com.
pletelv dsproved and shewn to be fabrication from
beginning to end. He has the full evidence before his
ewes that he has disseminated most base and wick
ed SANDER and vet refuses TO make proper correction
What will his readers think of such conduct? Can
thew in conscience believe any thing which emanaes
from press so lost to all that is manly and hOnora
bic Let the public call mind his stories previous to
the last election respecting "ten.cent tax and
"secret circular and put them with the course he is
now pursuing, and then say, il this Hartford M'Gn
nity is not FL companion OF his brother of Phlade-
