SENTIMENT IN NORTH ALABAMA.

We take the liberty of inserting the follow
ing private letter from member of tho last
Legislature, resident in the district of the
Hon. David Hubbard. We rejoice to receive
such cheering evidence from that quarter of the
State, as this letter, which is only CHE of the
many Of the same sort from that section, dis
closes:
81 fully appreciate the principles that you
advocate for the interest Of the Southern States
and Southern people, They are truly the prin.
ciples which animated our forefathers when
they united together to throw off the yoke of
British tyranny. | am fully of the opinion that
our sister States of tho North, from their course
towards the Southern States and their interests,
are disposed to place the yoke Of tyranny up
on us. am Uuion man upon the principles
of union set forth in the Constitution, which
guarantees to every State and every freeman
thereof equal rights and privileges.
81 will now ask any man from the South
have these rights been guaranteed to the South.
ern States and peoples They are compelled
to answer, with all candor, no; and whys be.
cause the North has refused to protect the
Southern people in their property: in the first
placo by admitting California with her Consti-
tuition, claiming unoccupied territory large
enough Tor four States, shutting out all the
Southern people from that territory with a GER
tain species of their property: In the second
place because they refused to pass laws to pro-
tect the same species of property in the terri
tory. And 10 the third place, because they
have,in a great measure refused to carry out
the fugitive slave law in good faith.
''It is very evident to every well informed
mansof the North and South that the South
contributed over her proportion Of blood and
treasure that acquired this territory from Mex-
CO, and OF right are and ought to he entitled to
an equal participation in its settlement and &C.
cupation with their property of whatever kind.
But this is denied them, the door being efectu-
ally. closed by the abolition majority which
rules in both branches in Congress.
81 am proud to say that we have very few
Union SabmiSSioniStS in ths county. We are
Union men upon the principles of the Consttu-
ton and equal rights, and will prove the same
by voting for the Hon. David Hubbard for
Congress, ,"-MoatgOmcry Ala.) Advertiser.

OPINION FOR THE ExECTTTIvE


The third Section OF the Schedule adopted with the

election to be held on the fourth Thursday IN Octo-
Der to open poll book to be headed the Constitution as
amended" the poll to contain two columns the frst ~

question has risen under this provision OF the
scnedule. The question is whether the persons au'
.orlzeo TO vote are the persons lied TO vote under
he eXlstng Constitution amended in 1850? or do
leXtend the right vote to all persons authorized TO
Vole by the proposed Constitution?
IN IN question my opinion has been asked.
Inc decision OF this question must depend on the
eonstructlo to be given the words 'q1ttFed ~nde'
the eE1sttn9 or amelIded Constitution"
bla tne Convention, using THIS language, lhtehd 10
speak OF the eriStig aHle1tded CohStHtton as one
instrument, or separate instruments Ii the lan-
glage must be construed to mean one and the same
Constitution, it is by the force OF the conjunction
" is distinctive conjunction and is used TO sepa-
rate and place in words or phrases 1t joins
together. Sometimes it is used to separate and place
IN contrast the different qualities OF the same thing.
The question is, whether 1t lsto denote two
Constitutions, separate qualities of the same Con.
suton. If used to denote two Constitutions, it
must mean the Constitution existing and the
Constitution proposed as the amended Constitution
If used to denote only ore Constitutions it must in
tend to describe the Constitution as a Constitution
now existing, and also describe it as the Constitution
amended in 1856
do not think this last construction is admissible,
because the descp ton of the Constitution is inll and
complete aud 40 further description is necessary TO
show WI lat instrument was designated by the Schedule
The further description, as the amended Constitution is
very loose and Imperfect and requires attach to the
meaning OF the amendment in 1850 the suggestion of
Tar fetched idea, which has nothing in the context OF
the action OF the Convention TO sustain it.
, think the plain meaning OF the Convention was to
denote TWO Constitutions, viz the Constitution now
existing and the Constitution proposed as a substitute
Tor 1t, which last Constitution it calls the amended Con-
stitution
think persons qualified to vote under either Consti
tuton are entitled to the question OF the adop
ton OF the Cons tuition. s. S. BAXTER,
