Governor of that Slate The Electors nf President and Vice-President of the United Stales in North-Carol inu assembled at Raleigh on the 1st inst and gave their votes (15 In number) to Axnnxw Jicxsox as President and Johs Calhoux as Vice-President Full Length Portrait of La Fayette A gentleman is now in this city for the-purposoof obtaining subscriptions for a full lpngth Likeness of Gen La Fatxttr A proof impression of it will he hung iu front of tlie Post-Office this day when those who have' recently seen thefieneral will be able to appreciate its correctness The J'ev-rork Daily liver titter of the 9Clh nit thus speaks of the Print and of the taletiti'of the artist who is employed in engraving it We mentioned tome time since that Print of Gen La Fayette was to be onplcd in this city by one of our most promising native artists Thu work has been already commenced and it to he promptly executed To those who know Mr Danfiirtlr Ulents it will he necessary only to mention hi name) hut a few words may be devoted to tho picture itself The original painting was by Scheffer Tne print Copied from it by Laroux was executed the present year in Paris and is by ur (imes larger than any other engraving ever taken of La Fayeite The size of the print is 44 inches by 15 The back ground presents a distant landscape and the figure occupying an elevated station on the brow of a hill Is placed in full view in the middle of the picture The most hasty observer discovers something remarkably striking an animated in the- woik which connoisseurs are able to account for from the admirable arrangement ot light and shade at well at the tcru- minus eorrertness of the design 'I he posture is iveiy easy and strictly true to The head is uncovered the hat in the right hand pressed against tlie side the toot a little an habitual posture occasioned by a slight lameness and that a inch every one will iinmrdiaielr recognize at hit own The peculiarity of the position may Iiavc escaped the particular attention of many but hardly any person who has saen him since his arrival in this country can tail to perceive that the posture of the body is as strikingly characteristic of hua as the features and expression ot his face The portrait in question happil) possesses great in both these re-spccts The head and thv Lee preserve so faithfully li traits of the original lliat Gen Iji Favette soon after his arrival declared it the best tikeaess lie had ever set for He brought a number of them with hire from one of which lie presented to Mrs Bloomfield of Philadelphia and another served at a copy fur the portrait ordered by the corporation of this city to he placed in the City Mall "As a proof of the estimation in which this print is held by Gen I-a Fayette when he was waited on by Mr Ingham to have hit portrait taken he told him he had bettercopy print these remaiks it will be seen that the work under consideration possesses recommendations Thd execution will he in a sty Iu of superior merit the size being four time greater than that of any other engravii of the same individual and the likeness it is confidently believed tan uever be surpassed" On the 1st inst Ilia Excellency Governor Witsov sent to tho Legislature the follow-tleasage with the ceoinianying Resolution of the Lpgifbture of Georgia proposing an alteration in the Constitution of the Jnitod States It was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT December 1st 1844 To the Honorable the and Members of the Senate Fellow 1 hate the honor herewith to submit to your consideration proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United Slates from the State of Georgia in the following That no pert of tlie Cowvtitutioa of tlie United States ought lobe construed or shall he construed to authorize the importation or ingress of any permit of color into any one the of UuiledStatesconu-sry to the laws of such In submitting this proposed amendment I fiela confidence that I am submitting what already attaches to each State in its soverricn and independent capacity A few days since 1 had the honor of enclosing to you the remonstrance of the British Minister Air Canning on a clause of a Legislative act ated in South-Carolina entitled "an act for tlie letter regulation and govern merit of free negroes snd persons of color ami for other purposes together with the opinion of Mr Wirt upon the same A reference toilie rule laid down by fcngland under similar cirsumstancfcs will at once protr that the deductions I drew in my commiiuicatibD were well warranted hy her own

intended by the Irtgidature to be affixed to tlie word intrrfsi ence The Solicitor General opinion was tnkmfno tlie right of the Legidnture to make this enactment His npinum is as follows A State or Constitution lias th rights of self-tie fence as well as an individual and it is competent to each community to make such regulations and to stipulate such condition as appear on tluir best consideration to produce the grvtest good and to avert (fie most evil from society For no man has a right to remain in and be protected by the laws of any community that is plotting its dntruction this simple and plain grouiul I think every Lrgishiture ought to proceed and I trust that it will be thought neither injurious to the civil rights no off niive to tlie peaoeable Catholics to eomply with iL Pretend ing to no subtle casuistry I cannot ice Imw a man who can take nn oath of 1778 can rationally Object to the proposed The opinion of Solicitor General Lee given in Dee 1791 was confirmed by Mr Charles Butler the learned commentator on Coke upon Lyltleton If tins be the law of England io rrsperX of their own Kotnan Catholic subjects how much more strongly does it apply to pel

request that the Legislature would let ue who are alone interested fjc the time If the Legislature composed of pnen from all purls of tlie State fix our City Elections and they have any views to forward Lj depriving any particular class of the right of voting it is manifest they will do so by depriving the citizens of Charleston of their property tyrannically that is iiliout their consent If on tlie eontiaiy they leave it to a majority of us to say when we will our City Officers if we approve the present ro change will be effected if we do not anil dre're another time it is palpable that unless we have the pow to make the change the minority vnllnde'the in other word we ahull hear the enrseof aristocracy hli the name only of liber-The question made by the memorial is not whether the time shall be changed but only whether wf who pay fe taxes and are auhject to the corporation laws shall have power to ewr own This view of the subject shows lliat all reasons s-gsinst fixing the

charge As I belong to that party which will demand strenuously what they are ready to yield cheerfully equal justice I shall consider the effect of the change in putting one set of men into office and mother set of men out of office as quite immaterial The strongest arguments urged That those who reside permanently in the city and are at times ready to defend the property of tho place ought alone to harm At rigid to elect the Count This is plausible but entirely fallacious In the first plxre it is not true that by holding the Elections SejHomhr tho ie only who contribute by their personal presence to tli6 defence of the eicct the Council and to teat it let ail who abw-nt theoxelvei months from the city from Januaiy to Deccm-her be deltarred from voting and more per-ous would be kept

vimt he had made to Norway- for the purpose it alleged of inakipg experiments on liia new method of preserving the copper sheathing of vessels from the action of seawater The results of ii3 experiments have so fully met his expectations It is well known among chemists arid amateurs of chemistry that jf a piece of zinc be placed on one side of the tongue and a piece of silver on the other A very singular electric sensation is produced when they come in contact This is occasioned it is said by the suspension of the usual chemical afluiities of bodies effected hy the saliva and the two pieces of metaf forming what is called a simple galvanic circle The same principle is involved in the new method of preserving copper on the bottoms of vessels Pieces of iron or of zinc are placed at certain distances over the surface of the copper forming galvanic circles over the whole bottom of a vessel The muriatic acid contained in the sea- water is suspended from its usual chemical operation upon the copper and exhausts its destructive attacks entirely upon the iron or zinc By this means the copper is preserved from corrosion and the decayed pieces of iron Its they may hecalled are easily replaced when eaten away and at a trifling expense when compared to the cost of coppers There ia however one disadvantage attending this method of preservation Which yet remains to he obviated by some further experiment The action of muriatic acid upon copper generates a poison which destroys barnacles and other sea vermin so injurious to the bottoms of vessels Sir IL Davy hos ascertained -his experiments that while bis method is completely successful in the preservation of the copper the absence of the poison permits the bottom of the vessels to become covered with ttyese vermin It is said however that graduating the galvanic circles so as to permit a slight corrosion uftle copper to take place will be effectual jreserratitfe agaiutt barnacles The Arkansas Gazette of the SOth ult contains an account of the trial 6f fdur In-dian for the murder of some traders Two of them (Mad Buffalo and Liitler Eagle) were found gniRy and sentenced to be hung on the 1st ot December The other three wero acquitted and instantly discharged Mad Buffalo is said to he a very intelligent man He made a long and sensible speech to the Court prior to the passing of sentence He has avowed his intentiou of committing suif-ide having a great aversion to hanging In fact he has already attempted to carry threat into execution having stabbed himsflf in the left breast with a tenknife SUIlll I
