The :;docatcs of a convention assert that it would be promotive of the beat iiilcrcat-i of the bot interests State. This 1 do not believe. The people were opposed to call of the convention three years aj;S, ami hesitated lonjr, but finally ' piveiway to certain per-istcil iiilluen ! ces and passeil the bill.

Two thirds have the right tocall a con vention, but the spirit of our freedom would ay not until the people had utr-c-tcd it.

I know that it jU said, and truly .-aid, that many men voted against the convention in 1571 lcau they did notapprvTc the mode i which the question w.ts .ub mitKsl. but it will be remembered that at the mmc ehx'tmn at which the con vention wa ntcd dowu there w nn election for dcleglle to the convent ton. ia the event it shoW he called, and, if I ant correctly informed, we failed to elect majority Jof .democrats and ci. vrvatiw, though we had the jnt W foe carried both branvhc? of the Kjs islalure by decided maioriiio.
