Every intelligent and candid man who v itched the progress of public opinion will readily ackowledge, that the ques tion, in relation to the amendment of our -mte Constitution, is no longer an ori ginal one. A decided majority of tin? people of the Slate have at the polls ren dered a verdict against the existing Con thulion, and sooner or later, a Conven tion is inevitable. It is idle then, in the present temper of the public mind to waste our lime in discussing the abstract propriety of the contemplated change, or in indulging pathetic-eulogies upon the venerable instrument which it is propos ed to dismantle. In the present and suc ceeding numbers, it is my purpose to present for public consideration, some of tin; most interesting points connected with this great question, which has so lung and so unhappily distracted our St.te. And first Can a Convention be lim ited? It is this preliminary question which I now propose to examine. In support of the position that the peo ple can limit their own agents, I need on ly refer to the great cardinal principles upon which all popular governments are based. All political power emanates from the people. This power they dele gate wholly or in part, as suits their plea sure. A Convention is composed of del egates elected by the people, and respon sible to the people, It) do what? Precisely what the sovereign power the people will and no more. I hey the Conven ville a borough, and of permanently loca. ring the seat of government. In ft(.w York, New Hampshire, and several other .States, limited Conventions have biT.it called, and no difficulty has occurred in enforcing th0 same solemn sanctions fur their faithful conduct, that are observed with other political bodies. With regard to the mode by which the limitations may be imposed, I can see no objection to that which has been practised in other Stales and our own. Tim ijisluiure embodying, as the theory of our government would imply, the popu. lar will, recommends to the people a Cod. venlion for the correction of certain spe cific defects in the present Constitution. The people adopt the recommendation by electing delegates in accordance with it, reserving to themselves the ultimate right of confirming or rejecting iUi a. mendments proposed Ly the Convention. Will it be questioned, that a Convention thus constituted is not as clearly restricted by the terms of the legislative recommen dation, sustained by the solemn sanc tion of the people, as is the Legislature itself to its legitimate sphere of action To deny this position is in effect to deny that the sovereignty resides in the peo ple to aflirm that the people are subor dinate to their agents and ultimately to establish the monstrous principle that we have no remedy for any defect in our system short of actual revolution. ARISTIDES. Public Meeting. At the last Term of the County Court of Hyde, a public meeting was held in the Court House, to nominate some suitable person to represent this District in Con gress. Notice of the meeting was given on Monday: the Meeting was held on lion possess no inherent power they j Tuesday; and there were present, more have none other, than such as has been de legated. To the Legislature, deriving its exis tence from the same source and acknowl edging the same responsibility, certain powers hae been delegated; and the ex-! tent of these powers has been accurately defined by the constituent body whom they represent. If these powers arc; tran scended, the same uhimate tribunal has prescribed a mode by which the unauthor ized acts of the legislative body shall be rendered inoperative. But in thus con stituting the legislative department of the government, for the purposes which have been thus accurately defined, the people, the sovereign p'-wer, have not divested themselves ofiln. right to ap point other delegates assign lo them specific duties ami exact fruin them the rrrThe Trenton.

But it is not less true, that since that period every State in the Union has called a limited Convention. than two hundred voters. The Magis trates feeling deep interest in the mat ter, at the solicitation of several gentle men, adjourned the Court for two hours. Caleb Spencer, Esq., Senator elect from Hyde County, was called to the Chair; and R. M. G. Moore and Riley Murray, Esqrs., were appointed Secreta ries. After some appropriate remarks from M.ijor Alex. F. Gaston, he offered the following resolutions, viz: 1st. Resolved, That this meeting highly dis npprove of the political course of Dr. Hall, in Congress. 2d. Resolved, That it is essential to the pros perity of this Congressional District, that its in terests should he confided to a more trustworthy representative. 3rd. Resolved, That of the several individu als suggested as worthy of the honor which Dr. Hall has abused, by his vacillating and lime-serving policy, Wilson R. Hodges, Esq., is most acceptable to this meeting, on account of his po litical principles, his private worth, and sterling integrity. 4th. Resolved, That a Committee he appoin ted to correspond with the other Committees composing 1 his Congressional District; and to request their co-operation in removing from its confidence, one who has so long abused his trust. The Resolutions were read to the meeting, and it was highly gratifying to perceive that there was not a dissenting voire. The meeting was addressed in a very forcible manner, by W. Beckwith, Esq., of Washington County, and T. W. Bar row, Esq., of Hyde. Mr. Barrow dwelt with much humor, upon Dr. Hall's pub lic acts; and portrayed, in bold relief, his political life. On motion of J. V. Blackwell, Esq., the following gentlemen were appointed a Committee: William Selby, Bannister Midget, R. M. G. Moore, Danl. Cradle, Pharaoh Farrow, Martin Cradle, Anani- ie town ot Charlottesville on the even ing of the 29th August, by Mr. Geo. Pl'm, an agent of the Post Office Department, for the supposed robbery of the mail in various places, upon the route from Pitt sylvania C. H., to Washington City. Since January last, frequent robberies have been committed on the above route, and others on which said Black had been driving, and frequent efforts had been French Gallantry. The French tri bunals have lately decided, that the mar riage of a Frenchman with a foreign la dy, must be by the French law or the contract will be void. If any of our girls have French fancies, they must be par ticular as to the manner in which the fights are solemnised. Norfolk Herald. ins Snftlpr. Danl. Murrav. Mninr A. F.

Their power j Qibbs, Esqrs. extended no farther than the simple adop tion or rejection of that instrument, ex cept in those States, where the Legisla tures recommended certain other limited or specific powers; and the people, by electing delegates under such recommen dation, ratified it and made it their own. Thus in our own State, the Legislature recommended to the people, that in addi tion to the powers in regard to the Fed eral Constitution with which the Con vention, about to be assembled, was to be entrusted, the farther duties should be imposed upon them of making Fayette- On motion of Bannister Midget, Esq., J.
