The Convention which was called for the
purpo,e of framing a Constitution for Iowa,
when il shall become a State, closed its labor'
on the LET ultimO. We have before US copy
of the Constitution, for which we are Indebted
to TJon. CuRrIs BATES. The principal features
ofthis instrument are such as, we think, every
friend Of good government will FPprovc.- Kalida
co., Venture.
II provides for biennial meetings OF the legisla-
ture;
1t limits the power of the legislature to create
n public debt exceeding one hundred thousand
dollars--except in case of war, to repel invasion
or suppress insurrection; and even debt with
in this limit, shall first be submitted to the peo-
pie, and receive their approval, before 1t takes
effect;
It gives to the Executive the veto power;
It withholds from the legislature the power 81
anpulling the marriage contract,
It provides that an accurate account OF the
receipts and expenditures Of the public money
shall be printed, and attached to the laws and
journals, at the close OF every session ofth0 leg
islature;
Judges of the Supreme Court hold their Offices
four years, and are elected by the legislature;
all other officers, State and County, Except
clerks of the Supreme Court) are elected by
the People;
It makes the 'spersonal and real property of
the individual members of all corporations Ii
able for the debts due by anil such corpOration;"

"unIess its charter, with all its provisions, shan
be submitted to a vote of the people at gencr-
al election for State officers, and receive ma

1t gives the Legislature the right of repeating
all acts of incorporation by them granted;
1t wthholds the power from the State OF be-
coming stockholdvr in any bank or o'her-cor-
poration;
Liberal provision is made for the establishment
and support Of common schools
Such are some of the points in the new Consti-

GEN JAcKsoN's LAST VoTE.-lt is a cause of
sincere grati6cation'wilh every democrat, that
the life Of Gen. Jackson has been spared to wit
ness the triumphant restoration of his system Of
measures in the election Of his friend James X.
Polk. The old Hero was able to attend the
polls and cast his vote for Polk and Dallas it
was most probably the last time he will exercise
that invaluable right offreeman. He had great
anxiety TO live and TO giveHhat vote. file was
spared to enjoy the high pleasure, and we rejoice
that he has lived to see that American people
are still true TO their own interests. What
noble spectacle does the old hero now present!
Let death now come whenever he chooses,
Andrew jackson is ready to meet him-he has
filled the measure Of bis country's glory-he has
made his peace with bis God aud now waits
patiently and submissively the summons which
shall call him hence Nashville Union.

A New CoNsULsmP- person has done
more to promote the success Of Mr.. Polk than
the venerable old lady ofthssNew York Express
who has seized with avidity on tales which were
too absurd for the most voracious Of the decent
Wing editors to swallew. No tale, however
improbable, was too bulky to be swallowed BY
him, and aftera partial digestion was thrown out
to the 900 500 readers Of that lOud-cried sheet,
in a dozen different editions The readers were
disguised, and we'll they might be. Surely this
laboring, although like sailors pulling one
way and looking another, should be rewarded
and there is a consulship to which we would res
pectfully recommend her appointment without
| delay. The trade with the Guane Island Of
Ichaboc, on the African coast, is great and in
creasing, and Mrs. Brooks, from her peculiar
taste and experience, is well qualified 10 ill it.
The climate and air Of the island will unques-
tionably suit him, and there is not the least
doubt but with the present Wing Senate the APP
pointment will be confirmed. Then three cheers

| WAsHNafoN, Now Correspondence Ofthe
WChArleSton COurier''--I have heard several gem
temen speak OF conversations held with Mr.
John Quincy Adams, ON the subject OF the re-
suits of the late election. His opinions are oil
interest, at this time and he is, by no means
reserved in making them known. He Gays that
Texas win be brought into the Union, and that
the British Government will simply protest a.
gninst the act, and avail herself of the example
to carry into execution some Of her own designs
"They will, he says, take possession Of Cuba
and we cannOt complain of il, after taking Tex
as. Great Britain, he says, will guarantee to
Spain the same amount of revenue that she now
receives from Cuba. As 10 France, he says, that
government cannet complain Of the act, for she
has taken possession OF AlgierS, and Great Brit
ain will allow her 70 extend her African posses
sions as far as she pleases Mexico, he says,
will not make war upon as, on account OF the
annexation,
Gas to the tariff, he says, It will not be essen
italy modified, during Mr.. Folks administra-
ton The Government will need the whole Of
the present revenue, especially after the annex
alton of Texas. There must be an increase, he
thinks, of the navy and army, on that account
"The next PresidetiaI contest would be be.
tween Mr.. Calhoun and Mr., Wright. Mr.. Ca!-
houn would necessarily, in his opinion. have, at
least the option of remaining in the State Depart
ment.
"These views are ofinterest, and may turn
out to be prophetic, There are, however, some
signs that the annexation project will be aban-
doned, or at least left an open question. The
northern democrats are utterly opposed to 1t;
and many of the southern politicians are indif-
ferent TO it.'
bFIn expressing the above views, old John
Quincy, likely overlooked the fact-that rev.
enue would accrue from the operation of mod
fled TarifF-even in Texas. England offered
tho triaing amount of S5,OOO,OOO only to be al.
lowed to enter her manufactures free Of duty.

OA7-Sinoe the result of the late election is
known, it is surprising how many Wings, espe-
cially of the 'spols loving order, find out that
they have democratic blood in their veins. II
they did not vote for Polk, theirfathers or grand
fathers voted for Jefferson or Jackson. 1t takes
a Yankee to get out of scrape.
