Constitution of Alabama. . The Alabama Convention has adopted a Constitution to be submitted to the people and Congress, under the reconstruction laws the main features of which we condense as follows: . The declaration of rights embodies' the first clause of the Declaration of Indepen dence regarding freedom "and equality and inalienable rights ; secures popular govern ment and religious freedom ; prohibits an established religion; guarantees freedom of the press and speech, the trial by jury, and the right ot personal defence; prohibits ex cessive fines and penalties, and asserts the right to bail by sureties. , The writ of habeas corpus cannot be suspended except when ne cessary ior public safety ; treason against the State consists of some otert act proven by two witnesses ; imprisonment for debt is prohibited, as also ex post facto laws and laws impairing the obligation of contracts. The navigable waters of the State are de clared public highways, and private proper ty cannot be taken for public use without compensation. v ; Every, citizen has a right to bear arms in defence of himself and the 8tate, nd the people have the right peaceably to assemble for the common good, and to apply to those invested with-the power of government for a redress of grievance No standing army can be kept up without , the consent of the General Assembly, and appropriations there fore can only be made tor one year. Titles of nobility are prohibited, and no property qualification can be established for electors or oflicers of the State. Emigration from the State shall not be prohibited, and no citizen can be exiled. The clause on slave -ry reads thus: " , That no form of slavery shall exist in this State ; and there shall be no involuntary ser vitude otherwise than for the punishment of crime of which the party shall have been duly convicted. r Art, II defines the boundaries of the State to be those" geographically known as com-1 prising the same, and authorizes the General Assembly to define the boundaries of coun ties, providing that no new county shall be made of less than six hundred square miles, and that no old county shall be reduced to a less size. : -, . . ,- :. ' ' ; By Art. Ill the powers Of the government! are divided into three distinct departments,' legislative, executive, and judicial, and ., no person or personsbeing of one of these de partments, can exercise any powers properly belonging to either of the others. , V The legislative power of the State is by Art. IV vested in a General Assembly, to consist of Senators and Representatives, the former to be elected for four years the lat ter for two. Eligibility to either is the same as to be an elector, except that a Sena tor tnustb'e twenty-seven years of age and have resided Wo years in the State A ma jority of each house will constitute a quorum, and the provisions for regulating the sessions ofreach and the power given to each over its own members are conformable to the es tablish ed usages in other similar bodies. Members of the General Assembly shall in all cases, except treason, felony, or breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest and the doors . of each house shall be open except on such occasions as in the opinion of the house may require secrecy. No Senator or Repre sentative shall, during the term for which he is elected, be appointed to any civil office of trust or profit under the State which shall have been created or the emoluments of which shall have been increased during such term, except such office' as may be filled by election by, the people. No officers of the United States or of the State, except postmasters or militia officers, are eligible to seats in the Assembly, j and allBtate oflicers may be impeached for mis demeanor in office. It shall be the duty of the General Assembly to frame a penal code, and to pass such laws as may be necessary to decide differences by arbitrators for parties wno may choose that mode of : adjustment. Divorces can only be granted by suit in Chancery. No money can be drawn from the treasury except upon approbation by law, and the General Assembly can only borrow on the credit ot the State for military de fence. The State may lend its credit to works of internal improvement, but cannot engage in them itself. v j The duties of the Governor are similar to those of the same officer in other States, and crfinerallv comorised in his obligation to 'take care that the laws are faithfully execu f ed " He is made commander-in-chief of the militarv and naval forces of the State; may grant pardons, issue commissions, call extra sessions of the Legislature, and; in case of disagreement between- the two houses in respect to the time of adjournment, may adjourn the same. i - The iudicial do wer of the State is vested in the Senate as a, court of impeachment, a snnreme court, circuit court, chancery courts; and such interior courts7! law and equity as the General Assemblyinay Pflfahliah ' The division of the Stateinto ffrrnika ia left to the Legislature, which shall also allot the chancerv division, forea?h ot which there shall be a cnanceiior eiecieu ui annnintpd in rp s? rip in the district: ana a chancery court shall be held in each county nt. a nlace to be determined bvlaw. t The judges of the courts are to hold jtheir offices for six years, but may be removed by th Governor on the address of two-tbiids nf the General Assemblv,, or by impeach ment. The clerk of tb;e Supreme court is to hfl annointed by the juages, ana an attorney general is to reside at the capital of State. ELECTIONS.

KEPRESENTATION. j : The House of Representatives shall con sist of not more than .100 members, appor tioned according to population among the counties of the State, each county having at least one Representative. The Senate shall not exceed one-third, nor consist of less than one-fourth, the "whole number of Rep resentatives. The Congressional districts remain as in the revised code of Alabama, until a new apportionment be made. x J Taxes must be levied in exact proportion to the value of property, and a poll tax mar be laid not exceeding one dollar and a half. The militia is to consist of all able-bodied men between twenty, one and forty five years ot age. :, : U' 'y Board of Education is established, of which the Governor is ex effico a member ; also, aSuperintendeni of Public Instruction, and two members from each Congressional district. This board exercises legislative powers in reference to public educational in stitutions.

Corporations as to be forned bv general lws, and stockholders are to be liable for the amount of Stock owned by them, j A general banking law is provided for. Personal property of the value of one thou sand dollars and a homestead arc exempted from execution.

' j Speech of R. M. T. Hunter. I extract. ; 7 The following is the closing portion of Mr. Hunters speech before the Virginia Conservative Convention. Pride rather than principle is the inspira tion of the Conservative movement : There is wealth in the earth let us plough, dig, and mmefor it. There is wealth in our tailing waters and running streams. They will turn the mill and build up manu factories. There is wealth, 'too stores of wealth in our black diamonds; they will make the steam which drives the car, pro pels the boat and turns the wheel. - Wehave streamsto bear away the fleets of commerc as far as the tide may flow, and we have for ests to Jbuild stese fleets. It is for the peo ple of Virginia to say whether we have not the men to develop these resources. I be lieve that we have. I have confidence in my fellow-citizens. I believe that there is a great and glorious destiny yet in store for Virginia. I have given, I think, a reason for the faith that is in me. But, Mr. President, I con fess that I, too, haye my moments of des pondency.When I think of what Virginia has been,if all that she has done for the Union, her sister States, and for mankind, and then reflect upon her present condition, I may say, in the eloquent woras oi anotner, that4houghts and emotions crowd upon my .1 -r- 4 11 At- ' mina wmcn i cannon auogeiuer repress, uu vfet which in humble submission to divine Iprovidence I dare not express.

These pasaionsinust subside before long, and the volcano wil burn, not For this, I trust not only to nat iral causes, but to Providence, which will no permit the destiny of such a State to be n arred or leave its tale "half told.!! ; In conclusion, fellow-citizens, as Lord El- don said amongst the best of his utterance, "I, submit thj cause of my country to that Great Being who can say to the madness of the people as he can say to the raging waves of the ocea 'Hither shall thou come and no further.' VALLEY OF THE AMAZON. Dec. 11 t Concord, Mass., Prof. Agas Geaeral Characteristicts of of the Amazon. siz omhi tne Vallei We cli the foil o win r abstract 1 of the Lecture fi m the report of the doings of the Mass., Stite board of Agriculture furnished to the Boston Daily Advertiser. In bejfining the professor spoke , of the climate ( f the valley. Never, he said, had a country with bad repute deserved 1 it less. The pre alent idea was that the climate of the vail y was hot and pestilential, that the country abounded in poisonous reptiles, and was inhabited by a wild and, fierce, popul a--lation. j These impressions were entirely un founded. Though lying mainly under the equatof, the climate was more temperate than that of New England. There were, to be sum, no winters such as we have in New Fnglap ; but then the heat was not such as we hare here. The highest temperature knowi was 95 degrees of Fahrenheit, and that aaximum had been attained but once in 10 tears ; and the mercury rarely fell be low 7f. This monotony was varied by the tradewinds from the ocean sweeping over the jlley, from the mouth of the Amazon to the ipdes. creating an enormous evapora tion Jand producing a regular' alternation of warn days and cool nights. Such a delici ous Jlimate was nowhere else to be found. As natural consequence of these conditions, the fertility of the soil was unbounded. Thf prevalent diseases observed by travellers wep not the consequence of the climate, but ot jbe mode of life of the inhabitants, who taHe rain baths and allow their clothes to drj upon their bodies, who exercise little caje in the matter of diet, and who are not privident to accumulate a supply of food at the proper season. As the impression of travellers were not refered to the true cause, ttp country would probably continue to have a pad reputation ; but the professor said he wanted the facts to be understood here, be cause he did not wish to have New England en backward in availing themselves oi the portumty ot collecting the precious woods ind other valuable products of the country, (ehich were now without advantage to any I 1 mi. i r L : . i . i ne. i ne ioresis were, as it were, noDoqys land, and might be taken by any one ; and t was the known intention of the Brazilian government to facilitate! the operations of foreigners who might desire to open their Resources to commerce. ; ; 1 Speaking of the means of inland commu- feication, Prolessor Agassiz says, there hadj scently been a considerable increase of the number of steam vessels on the tributaries of the Amazon, anyd their number , would be multiplied as commerce toqk possession. It was impossible to form an adequate idea of the magnitude of the water communication, which was so extensive as to make railroads and even Tong wagon roads unnecessary, if not impractcaible. The speaker here gave a vivid pictue (using the blackboard for illus tration) of the great expanse of the Arnaeon, the vast reach of its tributaries, and the numerous lateral streams connecting them, making the valley as it were an immense ca, studded with innumerable islands. The capacities aud prospects of such a territory, with such rivers flowing through it, he said it was difficult to realize, (Yet this country was now like avast desert, having only two hundred and fifty, thousand inhabitants, while Its immense and varied products lay rottinsr on the ground every season. . Not one-tenth of the, India rubber crop, becom ing every year more and more useful for; an almost infinite variety of purposes, was now gathered,' because there were not men, to gather it; There were no saw-mills there ; and when the natives wanted a piece ot turn ber, they felled a large tree, and chopped it down to the dimensions which they;re quired. .The forests abounded in the most exquisite woods" for cabinet work, yet they were neither used by the natives nor formed a part of the exports of the country. The careless and indolent population wandered through the " wood3 at certain seasons, and collected a small part of their products in an irregular manner. Now that this country was laid open, and settlements were so easy, he trusted that its riches would not be left Untouched by our active j and enterprising population.' 1 I Speaking of some of the more exclusively agricultural features of the country, the pbr fessor said that in the hill country in the vicinity of Obidos and Almareen there were extensive grazing grounds, capable of sus taining large herds, ! A very good quality of grass grew here, and the mutton raised on it was excellent as he had had good oppor tunity to know. This region was a very favorable one for agricultural settlement To give an idea of the predomtnent vege tation of the country, Professor Agassiz de scribed the. peculiar "characteristics of the palms and some other trees.' The oil, pulp, and fibre1 of the palms he observed were valuable for a variety of purposes, and the English had begun to1 export the fibre for cordage for the British navy. The cables made of . this fibre, while possessing superior; strength' were so light as to float upon .the water, The irnits of; several varieties of palms,-resemblng grapes, Beaches and other northern fruits, were described an handsome for the table, and delicious to ' the palate ; and, some account was given ofthe creeping paims, irom wmcn tne Indians make a riety of tissues. Of one species of fruit, va-re- semonng a giganUc pineapple, so sweet that sugar would spoil it, ho brought home to New York a specimen for which he paid only two cents, and for - which some of his friends who had sent it declared they would willingly pay from fifty to one hundred dol ors, if they could purchase 'it for a festal occasion; ' ' ; " . !-;yj In conclusion Professor Agasiz exprseaed the opinion that great benefit would; result from the visit of our industrial commission to the valley of the Amazon, with a view of ascertaining what useful materials might be gathered there, and at what points .settle ments might be made for this purpose. He went there for, a different purpose, and his observations were only incidental to his main object He saw only what he could not help se eing. 1 - An Anecdote of Dean Swift. . "v The eccentric Dean Swift was walking in the Phoenix road,! Dublin, when a thunder shower came on, and he took shelter under, a tree, where a party was sheltered also, two young women and .wo young men One. of the girls looked very sad, till' as ; the rain fell, ber tears fell. The Dean inquired, the cause, and learned that it was her wedding day ; they were on their way to church, and now her white clothes were . wet and she couldn't go.; 'Never mind, I'll marry you," said the Dean, and took out. his prayer book and there and then married them, their witness being present; and to make the thing complete, he tore a leaf from his pocket book, and with his pencil wrote and signed a certificate, which he handed to the bride. It was as follows : Under a tree, in stormy weather, ( ; 1 married this man and woman together, Let none but him who rules the thunder, Sever this man and woman asunder. Jonathan Swift. "Captain, me jewel," said a son of Erin as a ship was coming on the coast in inclement weather, "have ye a almenick on board ?" "No I haven't" "Then, bejabers, we shall have to take the weather as it comes." The voter-Tor and against Convention ' the State of North-Carolina.
