The Convention whu'li lias been for some time
in s. ssion in Suitr, h:is adjourned, having fram-
‘ d a n‘vv Constiiiiiiun, which gives the following
basis of sufiVijge :
“ The rijla to vote is extended to all male native
citizens ot the United States, who have resided in
tlie fetate 2 years, and in the town where they may
otfer to vote 1 year ; who are registered and have
paid a tax, either personal or tor regisiration, ot
one dollar, within tlie year previous, or who have
been equipped and done military duty within that
time according to law. To vote upon any question
tor raising a la.x, or for tiie expenditure of money
if) any town, or lor members of the City Council of
Providence—tne voter must have been assessed on
property to the value ot «>130. The question whether
colored persons shall be permitted to vole or not, is
left to the people to decide. The word white, is not
in the ConstitutioTi, but a separate vole will be taken
ai the same time with that upon the adoption of the
conctiiutio.'i. on the question whether it shall be in
serted or not. This will decide wiiether the blacks
shall vote or not, without any property qualification.
The Constitutiun provides that they shall vote if
possessed of a freehuld qualification.” *
The De mocrats about Harrisburg, Pa., must be
very much divided in their choice of a candidate for
President. Mr. \ an Baren, Col. Johnson, Mr.
Huchanan, and Commodore Stewart each have been
fjominated by a public meeting of thtir friends at
[Jarriiburg; and we see by the papers the friends
of Gen Cass were to hold a meeting there on29th
ulr., to nominate him for President, if they would
say Calhoun for President and Cass for Vice
l^resident, that would be nominating to some pur-
Tennessee.—T)^e^ Legislature of this State has
agreed upon iind passed a bill Districting the State
for the choice of Members of .ihe State Legislature
—both Senators and Representatives. It was a
matter ol some difficulty, as the two Houses are ol
opposite politics. The final vote was nearly unani
mous. The Districting lor Members of Congress
is not yet adjusted. A bill was nearly agreed upon
which w'ould have given the whigs six members to
five, but the Locos stood out fcr the odd member at
our last advices.
A bill abolishing Imprisonmvmt for Debt has pass-
ed the House, 39 to 29.—Lynch. liepub.

The Select Committee of the Legislature of Ten
nessee have bill for reported a ■ ividing the State in
to twenty-five Senatorial, and seventy-five Repre
sentative Districts. The bill auUiorizing the Banks
to issue small bills, has passen its final reading in
the Senate. The bill authorizes the iiank of Ten
nessee to issue small Notes at the discretion of the
principal Bank, [the Notes to he distributed accord

The “ Nashville Banner ” states that imme-i?e
sacrifices of property are aimcst daily made in Miii

We will mention by the w’ay of example, that on
Saturday last, eleven large.' iikey mules, two new
wati^ons costing -SI60 a piece, and a negroe man,
middle aged and likely, were sold in Franklin, at
SherilPs sale, and in the aggregate brought but

Co/t’s Sub-marine Battery. — The following ex
planation of the method by winch Mr. CoUdisch irg
es his Sub-marine Battery, is taken from the New
Haven Palladium. Probably 'vc nro u»-iobte.4 Tor
the explanation to the chemical department ol \ ale
College.
Two small copper wires extend from the battery—
j which consists ot a metallic caest filled with gun-
.V squitTcl l.unt, seve.jtur n men on a siJo, caipe P°'vJ=''-to a powerlul pivanic batte^
^ ' be SIX or eight miles distant. 1 Iiese wires are wound
round with cotton yarn, over v.’hich is a coat of shel
lac varnish. The ends which enter the battery are
connected by a piece of plaiina wire which passes
amongst the gunpowder. Wiien the explosion is
required, the opposite ends of the two wires are sud
denly brought in contact, the one with the po.^iiive.
and the other with the negative pole of the galvanic
battery; the effect is to heat the plaiina wire instant
ly sufficient to ignite the gunpowder.
The New York Journal of Commerce of Nov. 2d,
says : Yesterday atlternoon, at 4 o’clock, the Battery
w’as thronged with an immense crowd of spectators,
waiting to see the trial of C= it’s sub-marine appa
ratus. Castle Ganlen was als. filled with spectators,
and numbers put oli' from tlu shore m boats, to ob
serve the result of tiie expej inent. The vessel to
be blown up lay n.oored m lAu sireauj, a 'lun-
drecl yards ti'om Castle Garden. She was a bri^^of
about 300 tons. Her maets were standing, as ingh
as the topmast; but, with the exception of a few
ropes to serve as stays, all her rigging was taken
oil’. Colt, the operator, stood upon Governor’s Isl
and, from which the wires extended to the powder
beneath the vessel, a distance of half a mile. The
signal concerted was the firing of three guns, one
after the other, from the ship North Carolina; the
two first as alarm guns, and the last as a signal.
The third gun was no sooner fired, than, almost
instantaneously, the electricity was communicated
thro’ the wires to the sub-marine maa^azine, which
! exploded, throwing up the vessel in fragments, seen
‘ with difficulty here and there amid an immense mass
of water and t^moke. The water was thrown in a
column to the height of nearly 100 feet. When the
agitation subsided, notiiing was seen of the vessel,
save in the form of pieces of boards, heavy masses
of limber, and a porlion of her hull.
The result of the trial was highly satisfactory, and
a loud shout from the multitudti on shore testified
their approbation. There is no doubt that this ap
paralus can be used with efl'ect upon a hostile ves
sel blockading a harbor. The lorce ot the explo
sion W’as prodigious—as was shown by the sudden
raising of such a mass of water to such a height,
and by the total dispersion of the timbers of the ves-
•neasure for the relief of the people. I did-not con
sider the applications sutiiciently numerous to justi
fy so important a step, especially, as at the session
tnen so recently closed, the subject had been, in ge
neral ter,ns, submitted to them. There can be no
quiiition that it is the duty of a Government, whose
the interests of the whole community, than many
subjects over whicJi it is not questioned the govern
ment has power. The incorporation of a bank, is
the exercise of a sovereign power by a State, in re
gard to its domestic policy; and disfranchisement is
the exercise of a like power for the change a
policy which might prove pernicious; and in the
mischievous policy ha& been, m a great degree, in- exercise of this sovertign power, it was never

most impossible to jjuuisli a wealthy criminal. At

tained, coerced the sale of his debtor’s propeiji^
a tithe of its value, that few men or
willing to encounter. Of
the supply of specie has been augrS^EMf but
if any, such cases have increased, and
pect the practice to prevail the ensuin
considerable extent. If my conjecture
founded, the present crop, though it promises to"
be abundant, will but slightly mitigate the general
distress; for the benefits expected from it will be
greatly counteracted by the depreciation of the
notes of non specie-paying banks the unavoidable
conS('quence of demands of specie. From the re
ports of the Banks which pay specie, it will be sefu
mat th^ quantity of specie on hand wili not justify
the expectation that they can increase their circula-
lalion, except upon paper at sliort sight, upon the
maturity of which, it will be immediately called in.
On the first of October, the aggregate amount of
specie held by nine banks, whose reports were re
ceived during the month of October, exceeded, but
little, half a million of dollars, while the demands
against them in circulation and deposits, amoimted
to nearly two millions of dollars. Attcr sMikinrr a
balance of reciprocal dues among the banks, there
is a balance of about one hundred and fifteen thou
sand dollars in their favor, which must be due by
banks out of the State. In this estimate, debts due
by the Georgia Rail Road and Banking Company
to some of the Banks of Augusta, and on intermit,,
are not included. These statements approach accu
racy, but from the manner in which the accounts of
some of the banks are kept, I cannot say that they
are minutely correct. The reports of the banks are
