The Trouble at the Episcopal Seminary-
We announced, some "days ago, that an

thii" city; into certain alledgedi heretical
opinions existing to some extent, not a
mong the laculty, butjambng the pupils of
that institution. 1 was at first proposed
that the enquiry should be conducted liy
th'ej board of Bishops, lately in session bere.
But,'inasmuch' as thej charges did'not af
fee t the Professors in. the least, (they hayr
ing been cleared of alsimilar suspicion by
an investigation wiic;i took place in Oc
tober last,) the enquiry was committed to
the faculty, as their peculiar province.
Accordingly, on j the 7th instant, there
was an examination of this kind commen
ced4, in the Chapel ;of(the College; Prpfes.
sorjOgil by presenting the chargesj and of
fering witnesses to! sustain themJ These
were, in brief, that the students named
held views of a decidedly Ilomanish char
acter ; and Henry (McVickar, (son of the
distinguished Professor of Columbia Col
lege,) and a, Mr. Watson were arraigned
on this accusation. But . others beinsr
named in the same way, it was resolved
to dispense with a formal triaLof either,
but to subject every student to a rigid ex-
aiuiuauuu on mese points, i nis was aone.

For it1 will only serve to make them ap
pear more ridiculous in the estimation of
right thinking men, since "they never have
hesitated to violate that sacred instrument
whenever it comes in contact with the in
terests of that patriotic, law-loving and
law-abiding party !
L,ocofocoism The right of Suffrage!
From the extracts below, it will be seen
that certain Locofocos in the Louisiana
Convention, now in session revising the
Constitution f that State, have proposed
a restriction upon the right of voting, that
may justly be entitled the greatest Tiovel
ty of the day, in the way of Legislation.
These democratic sticklers for the largest
liberty, now propose instead of extending
sindij their success in the late contest, to re
slrlctjtln avay, wbichwbejieve, would
uneyef'have been thoughtoi hut by wgenu.-.
ine Locofoco. .They contend 4hat po man
who is afraid of the Yellow' Fever, or to
use the language of the mover of this
new and strange qualification, " no person
ought to be allowed to vote until he had
received the baptismof the Yellow Fever. n
This is certainly a strange way of encour
aging and extending equal rights to1 all
subjects, too, which the leaders of this dem
agogical party arecontinually striving, as
they say, to establish. But strictly speak
ing, we are not astonished at such an un
generous attempt of the party to deprive
a numerous and respectable class of citi
zens of this inestimable privilege ; for on4
all occasions they run counter to their
professions. ' r
The above infamous remark was made
by a member named Marigny, in debate,
on fixing the day for holding the State
Election. The committee to whom the
subject had been referred, named the first
Monday in September. lThis was object
ed to as the very worst time in the year,
because it was the season in which the
Yellow Fever violently and fatally raged
in the city of New Orleans the time
When its streets are deserted and business
at a low ebb : it was, therefore, proposed
to strike - out September and insert
June: This proposition Mr. Marigny vio
lently opposed with a view of excluding
j a large class of voters, who, from various
causes, andji desire to preserve health,
&c.,' ccc, are in the habit of leaving the
city and State during the sickly season.
These men were called birds of pas
sage," floating population,". &c, by this
democratic leader. 'No man he contend
ed, was fit to be a citizen of Louisiana,
who had not undergone the baptism of
that awful pestilence, the Yellow Jb ever.

, taWish un,VersaI suffrage, and fix our elections
in September, would be a cruel and ridiculous
mockery. "S What, said 'he, shall we give every
citizen ihe right to-vole and then place him in a
position where be cannot eseicise . that right ?
Shall we have 'our elections in the month of
September, that season 'of pestilence and death,
when the population of this great and teeming
city is reduced to a miserable and contemptible
fraction 1 ? It was well known to all that in Sep.
tember.i New Orleans was thecity of the dead
pestilence , here, held &herl dread court,' our
streets were' deserted .and our public! places de'.
solate,' It was then absurd to talk of universal
suffrage under suchs circumstances.; ) Many of
our most raluable and esteemed Tciti2ens ' were
unaccliraated they had never encountered yel
low fever, and they dreaded to do; so l Should

be guilty of such inconsistency. F He would ne
ver pretend to give men the jrighi ; of suffrage,
and. then, fix the; election at k period ,when they
were neyerhere to exercise thai right. He
was in favor of universal suffragehe desired
every free white male citizen' of-the f requisite
age to'enjoy that inestimable privilege," and hb
desired, more, that they .should be protected

guarded from the disgraceful corruptions which
had recently desecrated it.-- Whether that could
be best accomplishedbya'registrylaworsome,
other means, he . was not now prepared to say,
but any; plan calculated to secure that' object
should have bis hearty support.'' "
These 'sentiments says the Mobile Chronicle,
are just, liberal .'and patriotic They "are :tbe'
