The new President will enter upon his duties in Sep tember, lui will not be formally inaugurated until June next. Dr. Kott was Presidtnt of Union for the unexampled period of sijiy-tiro yearn.

This subject is one that promi-s to i-uizro---. the thoughts of this generation, and it will lie agitated till in the progress of events tnc u; n of woman to vote will not lie questioned. Ibis result is just as certain as it is that in the end the cause of truth ever triumphs. We belieic that woman, married or unmar ried, was made to be the companion of man, ai.i: was abolished, and the Senate substituted. Four teen years later our county officers were ordered to be elected by the jieople instead cf by the Legislature. These were recognitions of the im proved intelligmce of the people; and can tie say there has been no improvement since those periods, and that the people are not now fit to be trusted with this proposed clunge? liut, says one, tbey do not desire it ; they are sati-tn"l as it is. And why is it so? The reaion is obvi ous. It has thus far been so remote fiom them, havin-r no direct action in the matler. they I m concerned themselves but little aluut it, an 1, far as they are eoticirned, baie let it g l.i de fault. And now I repeat, ii it not .!i-inlile to educate the people to know tbc.r C. n-titution. to take an interest in its rcision, and hive a final action in this revision? Other States do it.

Ii may be said that the Council ha other du ties besides amending tne constitution: tne are t- review the legislation for the last eepteu nial period. But is this a sufficient reason for letainingthe pieeut -ystem? How much ha thts amounted to? True, in thefwar of 1811', when party spirit ran to a fever beat, the Coun cil censured some acts of our Legislature ; but the arts had trpen jassed and the eflects pne by. It undid nothing, it rig-. ted nothing, to far is the action of the Council went, but the ot uoxious acts themselves helped the part making them out of power, a always will be the cae , and thn is a sufficient remeily against wrong legislation. The people will ebange their ruler if they are found unfaithful, and the ballot-box is considered a sufficient remedy in other 3tate, together with the powes of the Supreme Court, to right any unconstitutional legislation The question again recurs, is it necessary, i- it ex pedient, to keep this cumbersome system for the purpose of reviewing past legislation ? Past ex perience proves that this has not been of much va'ue throughout more than three-fourths of a century that we have practiced it. Fourteen ye trs ago the Council bad siveral St-asioi . and pi. i o-td s..me important amend ments, witch were v 'ed duw.i by the Convtn tion an I ail went for naught, though not so to the tax-pi vers fhe h id to tK.t the bdis, u eluding the building 1 1' a ew Mate House, a serious m'ttttr to tht people ft r which they re ceiTed no benefir, w p, Mitr' ng the tjaesfon of territorv, int--1 ' f i !!-" n, as a basij tor reproscn now bt "ptb iuj. , .K - UiMie.

When the public taxes ae laid in accordance with the spirit of this prov si. n ef the Contiuti'.n, the committee juilge they are "justly hud" Fr-m the information which h i- Ci'ui' tu the c mmittee, as well a from their own ob-cr vtion, they arc forcnl to the conclus ion that t he public taxes have not been, and are not, ju-tly laid. In ditferent parts of the State the same class of pivperty is assessed at diner ent valuations, auj rarely if ever at its true value in money , as ni-juired to be assessed by the statute, fl-al e-tate is ashessed usually at from one-half to two-thirds t f its true value in money, unless it happen, to consist of wild lands owned by non-residents, which are frequently assessed for mure than they will bring in market Per- , -our I property is generally assessed at nearer its value in inoiiey, but rarely above two-thirds that value, unless tt consists of stocks returned to the town clerk, which generally are assessed at their full par value. This inequality in valu ation, his arisen not so much from an honest difference of judgement as to the value of property entertained by different listers, as from their establishing a rule for valuing property , ditferent from that required by statute law. Public opinion seems to be morally depraved in regard to this matter. It is hardly considered a s:ain upon one's character to make any state ments, however false, in regard to the amount of his property, i itixens who would revolt at the thoturbt of withholding an Jit f.-om a fellow citizen, deem it no dishonor to -i.-n-te and by every means withhold their pn jrt rt; trum taxn t on.

(the home of hi ancestors for two ecntnries,) Aug. iT.fth, 1818, and died in Boston, at the bouse of bis lather, Richard H. Dana, Sen , .May 18th. Ibm The following extract from ths Boston Daily Ji'trtrttser will give a good idea ef Mr. Dane's reputation as a gentleman aad scholar - Bis boyhood gave early and sure indication of the delicacy and breadth of his later power Instead of going to Harvard College, "where ail of his family had been graduated, he wcat t the University of Vermont, where there then happened to be gathered what wa const lei ed the beat corps of Instructors in tht country, with the distinguished James Marsh nt their head. He was always and easily Srt at -cho-d and at college, and the testimony was alway grateful and concurrent, when he was ta-re Hid nt tie Cambridge Law School, thtt heh- l iht fineness of mental fibre, the Urge scope cf men tal vision, ajd the nioe balance and adju-tn en of mental powers which nude a great ;uturv seem inevitable. Bis tastes were for pluloeophy, poetry, ri.ie art, political science, public law, aad the .tke butXi&aities. He learned rapidly His memory was strong and ready. He studied and remem bered, philosophically and not mechantctlly. He was a true scholar, seeking the truth and not exhibition; yet he entered manhood with a just ambition and a mod -t oonscrousnessox capacity. What he then did, ami said, and wrote, show t the delicacy and strength, the taste and m tfiri. ty, which come from critical study, trum n.a--tered iwtriwes and from original thought. II practiced law for a few years in Boston aa the partner of his brother, Richard H. Dana. Jr , and sboe-l a thorough niastrry of law as a -ci- ence, and marked ability and se!f-poses.ion n the trial ami argument or case; but h.s bmlni was too delicate or th? strain a- d exci'uhnt. Every argument wi f Iloed fy a .slnrt ii!n-. He was thus met in h.a entrance on life by the chroerto loeal d fficolry which no one then mag- lneu was to cause bis death. He was oMtged to give wf general prac'is-', d went to Germ my tu study Roman civil law and kiudred stud' in htory aad philosophy. iatendiug to return ami try ne mlder practtce uf our Equi'y Courts, He stu-itei chit-tfy at Heilelberg, where h ''.tsiucd the highest fc(.n ora Uf tne Uegrets taere given, those ih-it are after a iwnaftdt and thorough examinatzon tr divided into four classes by merit Mr. Dm-iS was of the first class. After this bis hedth failed stilt nre, anl be was oblige-l to give ti- alt hope of following his profession in any form. So be remained in L'ampe, pursuing ctudies in vsri ua countries, until he had been absent eight years. The etshuUrs at home and abroi. most competent to tfe ewe, af that lew .n.-n- cans have ever studied more widely and pr.r foatidiy. His own powers were never uveri. t tered by n acquirements- He nat tne compre- hensiveneSB of mind to see pricJkr ac-i terns in right relati'ins, and the deiic icy, pi -ion and subtlety to apprehend tite r r.; :. st d tincriena.
