THE REPUBLIC OF HAYTI.

The recent civil connexions in Hayti
have, 1t seems, resulted in various important
political and civil reforms, and a reorganiza-
ton of the constitution of the Haytian Re-
public, which promises decided improve
ment in the government and in the practical
administration tit, in all its great branches.
At all events, the following outline of the
new constitution recognizes many lust and
enlightened principles, and speaks well for
the intelligence OF its trainers. 1t is taken
from the L. :. (Phil.) Gazette.
We are indebted 10 friend for copy of the
new Constitution of the Republic of Hayti.
The first section provides for the political
division of the Republic, aud declares that
Africans and Indians, or the descendants OF
either, by one or the other parent, NAV be-
come citizens but no white person can be-
come citizen, or hold real estate.
The second section provides for the civil
and political rights.
The third section provides for equality il
the eyes of the world. All modes of lrorshi,
shall be equally free. The freedom of the
press is guaranteed. Schools to be establish
ed for both sexes, the teaching free and gra
tuitOus. Trial by jury is granted. The PEG
pie have right to assemble peaceably, anC
without arms. The powers of the Legislator,
Executive, and Judiciary, are defined. Th,
Executive is President. The Legislator,
is composed of Senate and House of Com
mons. One third Of the Senate is renewabl,
every two years. The whole of these, how
ever resembled those of tbs same bodies il
the United States. The heads of the fou
Departments are called Secretaries of State
The qualifications of voters are fixed.

THIRD PARTYISM.

The following sensible communication
is from the Liberator, one Of the oldest
and strongest anti-slayery journals in the
country. William Lloyd Garrison, its ed
has had the honor of standing at the head
of the host Of abolition for many years.
His strong hand has ever been against
every man who has shown shadow of IA
vOr TO the institution of slavery. he has
declared over and over again tina he would
go as far as by any possibility the bounds
of consistency could be made TO extend !;
yet the following are his sentiments in re-
lation TO the Third Party movement.
doubtless for this declaration he will meet
the fate of the gallant old Adams,-tha; is
be denounced by them as traitor TO his
principles, and pronounced n renegade, I'm
worthy Of any reverence or respect for his
arduous and extensive laborS in the great
field of human rights. Is it not plain 10 be
seen that this poor political scheme is d.
vlding the sentiments and feeling Of the
great abolition party Of the North.
Thermometer.
now 1T Is DONE.
1t will astonish some of the friends of
freedom to learn that The present action of
the Liberty party is likely to be more eff
ectual in extending tine curse of African
slavery TN this continent, than the efforts
of even Shareholders Themselves, Indeed
the great movements which will be made
for the admission of Texas in the next
Congress. can only succeed with their aid.
Giving the vote of every slave representa-
tive in Congress in favor of this measure
it will still require the aid of 40 or 90
members from the free States 10 carry the
vote. Let us inquire where they can be
obtained Does any one doubt how
Charles G.. Atherton and his colleagues
will vote ? Does any one doubt how
many politicians of the same stamp from
Pennsylvania, and especially Ohio, will
vote ?-liow have they voted heretofore

Who will place six or eight members OF
the same class from OHIO in these seats

they alone. Did they vote for Shannon
No. viii they vote for the pro slavery
Congress men! No, But they opposed
the election of Joshua X. Gliding, and
every other tried friend of the slave who
refuses to join their party. by which they
give effect 10 the plurality law of Ohio
which gave Shannon his seat, and will
at last give six members in favor of the
admission Of Texas.

There is an anecdote Of Sancho Panza
which very finely illustrates the marvellous
difference between the professions Of the To-
cofoco party and their performances.
Sancho and the Knight one day stopped al
an inn about dinner time. 'Well good man
of the house, says Sancho, "what have you
got To day ~
SCOTS replied the inn-keeper with big
Ilook--''every thing under the sun, the beasts
of the field, the fowls of the air, the fish OF
the sea; and the game of the forest. My house
always has the best of every thing"
"Ah ~ said Sancho licking his chops, "you
are the man for my money. Give US good
fat turkey, roasted very nice, aud couple of
pounds of saus&ges and the trimmings new
er eat much."
"Turkeyw said The Undergraduates the
very thing have not got But there's every
thing else.'
''Well, ther," replied Sancho, Hroast us
couple of pullets-or say three but be sure
they are very tender"
"Pullets ~ returned the inn-keeper 81 had
the prct'iest lot of them yesterday you ever
iaid your eyes on. But just as they were GO
ing to roost down camea monstrous henhawk
ana whisked oil every mothers chick"
"Wh0 diabolical snap-dragon.'' exclain-
ed Sancho "But think ] could do with
nice little roast PIG, well s'uiied.''
''s :" saio .ao .ecpog pes, i've plen-
~ pigs, but they have all got their tails
creased, and there's no catching them"
"lhen Ill take some fried fish" said San
cho.
"Fish: said the inn-keeper, its rather too
late, for the ponds are all dried ND and the
fish have emigrated towards the coast. There
is no fish within hundred leagues.n
'Duu'S fish ~ exclaimed tho inn C,o
cho "then tell me the name of something YOU

"Got-got." said the inn-kceper scratching
his head, ''rvc go.--Somc crce2lem co,c-
