VIXCLXES. OCTOBCR 4. 1S31,

I am compelled lo present the Sun, to its numerous patrons, to-day, on a diminished sheet. Paper of the proper shit has been expected for several days, but has net yet arrived. I shall endeavor to prevent a similar mishap aain happening. GRAND HUNTING. Mr. Stout: In your paper of to-day, (Sept. 27th,) I perceive an account of a Squirrel Hunt, and a wish expressed to hear of naorc. Two neighborhoods, Johnson and Harrison Townships, met to-dav, after a hunt of some 15 or 20 days, at Mr. .Randal Morgan's, aud on counting the scalps, (not tails,) Harrison counted 5,28ti Johnsoti 3,578, making 8.854. So Johnson paid for the grog. Heat that. A HUNTER. P. S. On account of the badness of the day, many did not attend, and it is believed that 1000 scalps less were thereby counted. A H.

From the Aurora. SECRET HISTORY PUBLIC. There are many errors of fact and opinion, in frequent circulation. Upon none is error more enpricious than on some fioints of ihc gold coinage, and the proportions of gold and silver. We have imbibed from our English traditions the barbarous analogies of barbarous times; and in a country boasting of its written constitutions, we give not only in our courts of law, but in our general social concerns, the force of law, to tho barbarous customs of feudal ages; thus whatever has existed for a long time, has by the circumstance of mere usage, the operation of a law; though every science has revealed leng existing errors, though "many are exploded, still are they interpo latcd upon us, who boast of our institutions as founded on reason, common sense, legislative enactment. Thus, when our legislation was carrying into effect the first institutions in the machinery of society, under the Constitution of the United

Sjates, the statesmen of that day adopted thq ratio ot gold aud silver, as 1 to 15; and ,by s- gross abuse of language, determined that the pound sterling should be considered at par with $4.44 cents. It would be saying more than would be fit, to assert that these proportions were 2remeditatcdly erroneous ; it may be no more than fair to ascribe the blunders to pernicious influence, or to treacherous consultation, or to unconscious ignorance; but that 1 to 15 was erroneous, the very existence of 1 to 10 bein the ratio on our own eontineut,at tho great source from which the precious metals which have supplied the world, have been derived, requires no proof; nor does the existence of another, or many other, ratios, under the despotisms of the profligate governments of Europe, prove their propriety any more than their agreement. S of the par of 120 shillings to $1.44. Par meaning alike or equal; let any man

take pen in hand, and compare the cm an

tain seventeen at Jamaica, St. Domingo, or Martinique, or eighteen at Trinidad, Esiquibo, or Guayana? As the Bank would give no more (upon

its official advisement,) so it could ask no

more, and the gold of the Bank somehow found its way to Lisbon, where tho doubloons which cost fifteen here were sold for twenty dollars and twenty five dollars.

From that day, gold has almost disappear

precious metals, and the coincident obstruction, the circulations of commerce

were utterly diverted from their natural

channels.

A scarcity of the precious metals fol lowed. Gold was gone, not to return a-

gain, for six-and twenty years; and Congress has been, ever since, and particular

ly during five years past, laboring to reproduce the natural principles of Ihcfd and silver money. v W

But that abstraction had prepafWVJie

which, when the mouse came out of the mountain, assumed the magnitude of Bank of 50,000,000 ! That enormity fail

ed of rooting itself into the bowels of the

la nd thanks to the great and good George Clinton, and thanks too, to James Madison, who sought to avert those calamities of which now every man living, in America, is the slave or the indignant w itness. If the Bank, with $35,000,000,Jas done so much, what might that of $30A j),000, not have done? V Every freeman who loves his errantry, and disdains corruption, will be at his post at the ensuing election. He who docs not do his duty on that day, is fit for Russia. CONSTITUTION OF TENNESSEE. The Tennessee Convention has succeed

ed, after a session of three months, in agreeing in committee, upon the provisions of a new constitution for that state. The

report of the committee is now undergoing

i revision before the convention, para

graph by paragraph. The following arc

some of the provisions agreed to in com

mittcc.

Imprisonment for debt is abolished, in

all casses where there is no presumption of

fraud, and where the debtor delivers up his

estate for the benefit of creditors, accord

ing to law. Members of the legislature are made m

eligible to any office or place of trujt, dur

ing thetima for which they were elected,

except that of justice of the peace, or trus

lees of a literary institution. The legislature is prohibited from pass

ing laws for emancipating the slaves without tho consent of the owner, or without

paying the owner a full equivalent in

monev.

The legislature is prohibited from chartering more than one bank, at any one ses

sion. No bank charter is ever to be re

newed; nor shall the legislature have anv

tity of grams m each, and he will find power to take stock in anv bank whicl

there is inequality, instead of par. This shall o

inequality has been in operation since the

first law of Vi'Z, on the subject, and Mr. Lowndes, in his report to Congress, 1811 12, on this subject, demonstrated that the United States lost, from that day, of 170i, to the time on which he so reported, above seven hundred dollars every day, calculating upon the bate revenue of impost. Well, the custom of forty-two years had bcocme with us a sort of common law; our courts adopted the law of Lord ?Iansfield or Blackstoue, and our legislators adoptcd the mint policy of England. We had knowing ones they were not many; like the directors in the Bank of the United States, at the present day, many of tlwm were innocent dupes mere puppets, who were unconsciously worked by the knowing oms.

In 1MS (we have referred to this incident a hundred times within twenty years in 10$, the old Bank was carrying on its easy business; it had much gold the doublosns had flown in, to escape

fiith and subject the people to taxation for

its redemption.

Our governor is elected by a much larger majority than he was last year So far Dunlap's majority over Sprague is 3172. Last year our majority was less than 3000.

Evening Post: "A letter from a writer of tho greatest respectability, dated Bangor, September 13th, says, "We have elected Dunlap, our candidate for Governor, by about 4000 majority, which is an increase from the last election! In the district represented by Mr. Mintyre, there is now no choice, owing to two of our friends having run. The difficulty however will be adjusted, and a friend of the administration chosen.

naugh is run down, which 1 think probaIe, as his district always contained a

strong majority against us, and he was c-

ected on account of his great personal

popularity and a division among our opponents. We have a decided majority in

)oth branches of the legislature and Mr.

Spragues fate is sealed forever.

Another letter from Maine, of the same

date with foregoing, holds the following

anguago: "It gives me pleasuro to for

ward to vou papers containing lists of

votes, and to assure you that wc have car

ried our Governor, both branches of the

egislaturejand shall have six out of eight

members of Congress. I regret exceed-

ngly that Mr. Kavanaugh has lost his eection. His district has always been a-

igainst us, and he was chosen by his own

jreat popularity and a division amongst

our opponents. Maine was never sounder

or stronger than she is now."

WABASH BOAT. We are gratified to learn that Capt.

Tarleton, well known as the enterprising

owner, of the Sylph, is now engaged in constructing a new boat, designed express

ly tor the Wabash trade. She will drawbut sixteen inches water , and it is thought,

will lc launched about the tenth of October. Capt. Tarleton is also making ar

rangements for a regular lino of Wabash

packets, some to be employed above, and

some below the Rapids. Courier.

NOT BAD. Not being acquainted with tho book

printing business, especially that part of

it relative to making up pages, which printers call "imposing a form" wc wrote to a

friend at the east, to send us a book of impositions. Our friend not being familiar

with typographical terms, and not know ing particularly what wc wanted, sent us Ewing's Post Office Report, observing, "it was full of impositions, and hoped it would suit us."

Then it was that a deadly blow was struck at the circulation and introduction if g'dd. Be it remembered, that at the date above referred to, the old Bank was ns near its termination as the existin'i

Whether the ftcts we refer to had in view to prepare a necessity for a new charter, or that it was a close and deep speculation, or both, the reader may determine. At that period we repeat it, when the French General Junot had for a time subjected Portugal, gold money was wanted, to pay the armies that is to enable the -commissaries, and the staff, to purchase theplunJcr of the war.
