At such elections, every qon'.ifi d elector, under the pruvicione of this constitution, may vote for all olfie rs to 1>? elected." Let us sor, now, who are " qualified elec tors" or voters under the constitution. As this is important to every body, we insert that pait of the constitution d*t?routing the question. Ailule 8, eccliou 1, | ra vides as follows: Section 2. Eterv male eilizrn of ilie United States, of the age <>f twenty-one years and upwards. not laboring under the disabilities named in Ibis Constitution, w ithout distinction of race, color, or former condition, who shall be a resident of lids State at the time of the adoption of tide Constitution, or who aha'l thereafter reside in this State one year, and in Ilie County in which he offeta to vote, sixty day* nex( preceding any rleC'ion, shall l?e entitle) to vole for all offic*r* that are now, or hereafter may he, elected by the |?eop|e, and upon all question* submitted to the electors at any elections; Proridid, Thnt no person be nllqwrd to vole ->r hold office who now or h?r>-afier may be disqualified therefor by the Coi stitutlon of the Unite!

That no person, while kept ill any alms house or asylum, or of unround mind, or confined in any public ' prison, shall lie allowed to vole or hold ' office. ' The 7th 8 -ctlon of Article 8, relates to I the right to hold office, and reads ns fol I lows; 1 Skition 7. Every person enltlbd to vote 1 at any election shall be eligible to any office which now is or hereafter shall be elective ^ by the people in the County where he shall ( have resided sixty days previous to such ( election, except as otherwise provided in ( this Constitution or the Constitution and laws of the United States. W? now furnish the extract from the pro- , posed amendment of the Constitution of the | United Stales referred loin the above s?c- i tion, which reads as fid lows; Section S of the 14th Article of the Conatitulion : I " No person rhall be a Senator or Rcpre j sent alive in Congress or elector of lbes> dent or Vice I'riaident, or bold any office civil or military under the United States, or under an* Slate ta-kn Imvnur nee?li.na! v -"V ? ? * ' ? * " O I I taken an oath as meiuher of Congres<, or a* an officer of the United States, or us a member of any State Legislature, or as any Executive or Judicial officer of any Stat--, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rettellioo against the same, or given aid and comfort t? tlio enemies thereof But Congress may, hy a vote of two thirds of ea?h (loose remove such disability/* Titus it is Very clear and unquestionable that every man, without respect to bygones or paat political or official character, is, as all tax payees deserve to he. entitled to vote for those who are to represent him 1 in any office, State or county. The consti J tut inn, the 14th article which we have ] quoted, disqualifies no one from voting, ; only persons therein named from holding j office.

Those objections and other* have been very strongly urged on divers occasions, in the columns of the JEVi terprir. Hut there are provisions in the Const it n tton which we highly approve, and rtjoiee that in their humiliated and oppressed con. dition, coma things have been secured to the people of this State, which they have hitherto been deprived of by their old State Government; we mean the thousand dollar homo-tend nnd exemption of personal property from execution, to the amount of five hundred dollars. Also, the provision annulling negro debts. Also, the abolition of imprisonment for dcht, snd the' protect-on of ths properly of married -women. These are oil admirable aud meritorious provision-, and, we helieve, rval'y meet the viewa and approbation of ninetenths of the common people (we speak es rveeially of the while people) throughout the St**te, We differ from e>p\o of the distinguished lawyers of the State, ns to the operation and effect of the homestead law.

In this opinion, we are supported by lawyers of great eu.inetice and talent ; hut we are not going to srgne the question a* una tune. rts to the o'auso abtogating negro debts, we li^lkru that will lie ?'IVctuu'ly sustained l?y Ihe I'riited Slate* Court, ami certainly by the State anuria.
