 0crThe proposed amendment to the Constitution relative to electors but six months resi- dence, and doing away all property qualifications has been rejected by the legislature two thirds not having voted for it. Although not much in favor of we regret the defeat of the pro- posed amendment. Better far have universal suf frage sanctioned by the constitution than to have it practised, and sanctioned by public sentiment in vio lation of the constitution. The practice which has obtained for many years of admitting persons dess- ue of legal qualifications to vote by worthless deeds of property to which they have no real title is an evil which will be prevented in no way except by rendering such frauds upon the Constitution unne- cessary

 A new amendment, it will be seen, has been pro. posed, and adopted by majority of the legislature, similar to the rejected, and requiring residence of only four months in the state It must be sanctioned however by two thros of the next legislature and a forwards by majority of the people, before it bs- comes part of the Constitution

The first address, which about an hour in length, was made by Rev MT Brace of this village He was followed by Rev. Mr. Smith, who exhibited Dr. Sewell's Plates, and made commentary upon them. The Rev. Mir. Vaill, of Seneca Falls, then made brief statement respecting the cause of tenn perance in that section of New-York where he had been residing. The appearance of Dr. Sewelrs Plates was something new, set having just been purchased and judging from the interest manifested LheHi dt uley VIII COntrlDute 10 nelRnteH the interest Tn all the county meetings, where they may in future be presented.

 01r" TIE FRIENDS OF MR. WEBSTER" held mee. ting in Faneuil Hall on Wednesday evening. 1. was very slenderly atended-so much so that MT. Buck. ingham of the Cou.ier in calling the meeting to order at quarter past eight, consoed himself and the mee- ting for it's thnness by the grim ocoseness of quoting this verse from Watts:

 "Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there; | But wisdom shows narrow path, With here and Mere a traveller"

 Commercial Ta-if, as shadowed forth in the late speech of MT. Webster at Baltimore, does not seem to meet with much favor. The Tribune says The breaking down of our Protective Policy by . Commercial Tariff would probably injury New Eng.

 land at first, but its ultimate effects would be equally disastrous to the South and West, and especially eo the grain-growing sections. By deprivng our man. ufaeturing laborers of employment. and placing tAe considerable market for grain 5000 miles off, is
