. 1 1 i n; f i i a - l i i . . a the United States, so far as relates to the Presideotia election, and tha: such voters have not the right of voting tor President. ThU is a mistake, and is circulated by the Whigs for the purpose of lessening the Democratic vote next fall- Persons entitled to vote at our State elections have the same -ight to vote for President of the United States. There is nothing in the constitution of the United States to prohibit the several States from granting the right of suffrage to whom tr-ey please, and this right has always been exercised by the States; and Congress has no power to pass any laws upon the subject whatever. The only clause in the constitution of the United States in which reference is made to the qualifications of voters, is in the second section ol article one, which. in speaking of the House of Representatives of Congress, says: "The House ol Representatives shall be composed ol members chosen everv second vear. by the people of the several States : and the electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the mod numerou, branch of the State Legislature." It will be seen that the electors are declared to be ; not the citizens of the United States, but the "people of tbe several States." This includes all the inhabitants of the States, whether citizens of the United States or not. who mar be entitled, bv the laws of thf w - i m - State, to vote for members -of the most numerou.branch of the State Legislature." The naturalization laws of the United States are not tor the purpose of making voters, und do not, in any instance, confer the right of suffrage. Naturalization is one thing, and the right to vote another and entirely difterent thing. A foreigner by becoming naturalized doe not thereby become a voter-the great boon he acquires is the right to hold property, and to claim the protec.ion of our National Government, wherever he may be The right to define the qualifications of voters belongs to each State, and Congress has no power to interfere ! in the suffrage laws of any State m any manner whatever Oar State constitution in lllHip 2, article 2, defines the qualifications of voters as follows: 'Sac. 2. In alt elections, not otherwise provided lor by this Constitution, every white male citizen of tbe United States, of the age of twenty-one years and upward. -ho shall have resided in the State during tbe six months immediately preceding sucn election; and every , white male, of foreign birth, of the age of twenty-one j years and upwards, who shall have resided in the L'niied States one year, and shall have resided in this State during the six months immediately preceding such elec. lion, anu snail nave uec.areu ins insenuun to oecome a ..- f i , . . m as i citizen of the United States, conformably to the laws of the In.ted States on the subject of naturalization ; shall be entitled to vole, in the township or precinct where he may reside

The Journal seems to be rather chafed . this hot weathj er, under the speeches of Gov. Wright, in which the I Governor exposes the enormities of the Bankrupt law,

which General Scott, ,n his celebrated political letter of 1841 , fully indorses, and denies :Le Whig paternity of the law after the following style: Al luo "me ul lue PS!,RS?e "i me nanarup sei m iL A. .

J. Walker, the Democratic leader in the Senate, was its author." It is useless for the Journal to deny what the record proves. The Bankrupt law was a Whig measure ; recommended by a Whig President; introduced into the Senate by Mr. Henderson, a Whig; referred to the committee, of which Mr. Berrien was chairman, and Messrs Prentiss. Walker, Clayton and Kerr were the remaining members. AU Whigs, except Mr. Walker. Mr. Bermeasures that was ever adopted by acy party, and contributed much, very muoh, to the overthrow of the Whig party in 1S44. The editor then turns round and with boW nakeJ dup!ioi(v Ms?rt, th&t Mr. King Mr Hayne, and other Democrats, voted for a Bankrupt bill in 1825 and '27; when he well knows that the bill which was before the Senate, at that time, was a bill for a compulsory bankrupt law, and not a voluntary one. A bill providing that creditors might force dishonest debt or to go into baukruptcy, and disgorge their property underoath ,uat it umler tae direction of the law, might divjjed among his creditors; and not like the law of l84, ,Q pprit persons of tbeir 0n accorJ volunUrily tQ yaBfa olU their A wide difference.

The Journal Again. The Journal of the 17th contains a reply to an article oi ours ot tne lotn mm., wn.cn it requests us to copy , entire. Wre decline doing so, simply because ol te length, as it occupies over four columns in the Journal.; s a A.n. . a; a . - . l We shall, however, Drieriy advert to its main topics. In the convention convened to take into consideration the propriety of constituting a National Government, with a constitution defining and limiting its powers,

a a a a r r. nconjeaeratxon. I nat was me question, mat settled, the party, if indeed it can consistently be styled one, was merged in other parties. The Journal misrepresents us when it says we regard the Hartford convention the origin of tho Whig party. We said they were the "disciples of the Hartford school." But they, in turn, were the lineal descendants of Haraiitonian Federalism which originated in Gen. Washington's cabinet, after the question of confederation was settled, out ol which grew the first Federal party. Gen Hamilton, a member of that cabinet, according to the authority of Mr. Goodrich, a Whig himself, on page 556 of his " American History ." "Recommended the establishment oi a National Bank - ?nnose7 a7 ar To. ly opposed n r. t,a mama mm ho u i , ta-- t vi. iir i.ift. ftft. i.i -,.7, ... . wft.ft.ij... ..... Randolph opposed " On page 557. the same author mr. Jeiierson and iir aaft-fi "The establishment of a National Bank, in connection with the assumption of tho State debts, contributed to the more complete organization of the two great parties." The history of the times evidence the fact that Mr. Hamilton proposed these measures, and Mr. Jefferson opposed them. Their difference of opinion grew out of ! the construction each gave to the powers of the con.titotion. 1 he former construed them .berally, fhe latter strictly. Mr. Mammon contendeu lor the exercise ol strong powers by the Federal Government. Henoe, he at.d his adherents are called Federalists. Mr. Jefferson, on the otherhand, resisted all encroachments upon Stat. rights, and insisted that powers, not explicitly granted in the constitution, were withheld from the General Government. Here is the origin of the two parties, Federal and Republican, now called Whig and Democrat. That these parties continued to exist up to the war, and during Madi evidence in the "Li Quincy Adams, " pub 1850.

We have alr.adyshownwhattheirleader,Mr.Hamilton,advocated, ,. . , wh.leiBthe cabinet. Let ns see what tbey advocated st a later period. On lhe 4th of January, 1311, a bill was reported in the House of Representatives, of Congress, to renew tho old chaiter of the United States Bank. On page 142 of the work before quoted, it is said that "the Democratic members, in the main treated that subject as a party one," and consequently voted against the renewal. The record shows the existence of two parties, Federal and Democratic, up to thc close of the administralion of Mr. Madison. Then, the Journal says, parties ceased to exist. In the work we have cited, a different opinion ia held by tho author. On pujc 138 ofthat work . V ... ' . . . . n , .c.. .. . it is said, in speaking oi tne Congress oi 110, "ilia .. . .. . ..! Democrats had fifty majority .'' But not satisfied with inferential demonstration, we propose for the editor of the Journal the following extract from the jame work page 431 1 "It has been erroneously said of Mr. Monroe's administration, that during its continuance the lines of party were entirely obliterated. 1 bis is certainly erroneous rrom me beginning to tne eno.no was a nepuuuean oi re . . . . a I . n i I ! r un: uiu jruciwuuiau scuoau ; aaau ia. a:i ri , caiuein usnever approved of a protective tariff, for tho sake of protection merely, but primarily for the sake of ravenue, tne lormcr being only tne incidental object anu, luruier. more, it is equally plain that he never waived his opposiuon to uie exercise oi urisuicuon or soTerciginy :n

Jackson received a plurality of votes over the other candidates in the electoral oollege, yet the House to whom the election was referred, chose Mr. Adams. It is well known that the people ot' the United States were indignant at the result, and at the next election elected Gen Jackson by an overwhelming majority. During bis administration, tbe old subject of the Bank, Internal Improvement, Sec., came up, and the old discussions about tbe powers of Congress, were renewed. Here is the bursting forth of the old fires of Federalism and Democracy. Wa have distinctly traced tbe Federal and Democratic parties up to 1828, and have shown that tbe "fires burst forth" during Jackson's first term, which brings ns up to 1S32. The Journal admits the rest, for it says that "for the last twenty years, as a matter of reproach, the Whig party has been denounced as 'old Haraiitonian Federalists.' " This would take us back to 1832. So that this record shows a party called Federal, organized by Mr. Hamilton, advocating a National Bank, Protective Tariff, and a general system of improvements by the National Government, opposed by a party at the head of which Jefferson first stood, struggling with each other from 1798 to 1832 called Democrats. From 1832 to 1852, we find a party called by themselves Whigs, but by others Federalists, advocating a National Bank. Protective Tariff, assumption of State debts at one time, and a general system of improvements by Congress,

opposed by a party culling themselves Democrats, bat oalled Locofocos by Whigs. What's tha difference between the Federal and Whig party, then? Only the name The name Whig was given them in 1832 br

That Convention sal with closed doors, and their proceedings were never made public. It isgenerally j .--i .L-. . .u: i...: i nnderstood that only part of their resolutions were ever published.

They also resolve "that no person who shall hereafter be naturalzed shall be eligible as a member of the Senate or j House of Representatives of the United .States, &.r.." There is Native Americanism for vou : one of the pecu- , jjar part of Whiggcrv, indorsed bv Gen. Scott, whose laws: i tie iaauinj vv papers in tne fc-astern cities ' . !U,voca "v Americanism.

The Journal mentions certain; Democrats, who were once Federalists, and dares us to 'how that tbey have repented. The fact of their be" cominJ? Democrats i, evidence sufficient.

SATI RDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 1852.

The moment the Governor leaves our city, the Jour nal, with its usual fairness, commences to strike at him The issue of Tuesday morning contains an assault, 1 ... , 'i A-hich, in jusUce to our absent candidate tor Governor, ' ,. . , ' I we are compeneu iu iioiic-.-. i iic ai m ir i-uiiuuciii.'. - us follows; . c - ir r i . u ir nli riT "As one of the means of acquiring votes for rcelec ! tion to the cilice which be now holds.

As to the power of Congress to enact ' laws lir the sake ol protection, tue Journal says. '"The founders of our Goveruim-nt were of the opinion that Congress not only had the power to enact such laws, but, that it was its duty to do so." On this question there was a difference of opinion . , , . . . . , among the early founders af the Government. John . a .a a tt i . t r .r . a Al .1 XI - : I , !... V. T.a. aanrns.

The l . i , , . ranswer is a very plain one and ought to be satisfactory J ' F . .l i a . . to a sincere inquirer after truth. Labor, which is the foundation or Jarent of all other kinds of capital, does ; nu k uiiiiu oiar-iiiiiu 05 mm u ai;ci. as iu "in uwn t'uiiiij , 1 ar.d the r rate of interest on money is 31 per cent, per annum! Labor and money are required to carry on manufacturing, and in these, foreign countries have tbe j auvaniage, Sufl, unies? we can nave hip iiiarkci 10 ourselves tliey are so great that we cannot compete with them. In answer to this, we suppose, the Governor will dig up the fossil remains of the exploded humbug about the consumer being taxed for the benefit of the producer, and that the article protected raises in price to the amount ot tne uuties imposed : I nere never was a greater fallaoy. It is an assumption that all experience disproves." If the articles oannot he manufactured as cheap in this country is in England, who is to pay the difference? A sensible man would answer, they who buy and con sume, but Mr. Defrees says this is all a fallacy.

This letter referred to has been declared to be a forgery, and the proof demanded that such a letter is in exitenc.. Bro.

Has Reed pronounced it a forgery? Has Kec-d pronounced it a forgery? No man, except the notorious Richilieu Robinson, has declared it to be a forgery and his credit is so bad that no respectable eastern paper has published his card.
