Smith observed, that the pro position before the committee was im portant, as it proposed to submit to the citizens of this State the propriety of calling a Convention to amend their Constitution. From remarks which had fallen from gentlemen in the course of this debate, it seemed to be doubted whether we had a right to interfere vith the Con stitution. He presumed no member of the committee me rait seriously to assert such a doctriue. All power, said Mr. S. belongs to the people, and l.u' nil' 1 rm ht t r it-.f- Crtncn f for the public gooc'i, and to amend their .charter f government as they please. This is a right secured by the Law ot Nations. io prove which, Mr. S. read an extract from Vattvi. It is, said Mr. S a well established principle, that the -people have a right to niter their constitution at pleasure. But although gen tlemen acknowledge that the people have any right to act upon ir. So thrj.t uc have a right, but no remedy. This, said Air. S. cannot be so. And tJaotigh the Legislature cannot compel the people to ho4d a Convention, th.ey may point out the mode in which it c:n be done. But wavinp- that noint of the sub- J ct, it is said to he inexpedient to call a Convention, provided we have the power ; and he would endeavour to follow the cou.rse of remark which had been made ou that subject. The gemhnnan from Halifax gave the following reasons why it would be inexpedient to call ;s Convention. He said it would convulse the people to throw into their hands that power which is their own. It would convulse the State, and jeopardize the best interests of the country. Where does the gen tleman find grounds for this appreht n sion ? Is th crc any thing so factious in the people of North-Carolina more than in other States of the Union? It has always been allowed that this State is th .c Southern State of steadv hit! Out of twenty-four States, twenty, he believed, had lately adopted new Constitution's, Connecticut (the land of steady b.abits) amongst the rest. Even the factious State of Georgia (as it has some times been called) has sub mitted the question to the people, who had shewn that they were not anxious to grasp at power; on the contrary, they an; willing to let things remain as they are. Was the State of New York convulsed by faction when the people of that State held a Conven tion? J No such thing. The delegates met at . Albany, and proceeded to bu siness in a manner becoming the Rep resent; ativesof a wise. Republican State. Nor h.as any thing like faction appear ed in any of the other States on like occasions. If, said JMr. S. you agree to sul smit the question to the people, as is proposed, and a majority be in lavor of the measure, the question will be; -what is to be done? The people will "be told that the Convention, when assci .nbled, will have power to abolish such . of our Constitutional provisions as tl ley think proper and to make new one , and they will appoint for this pun pose, the best qualified Citizens in the State. I xi the election of Members to the Go neral Assembly, the citizens are car eiess, believing that any man of good intentions, and common stnse, wi ll answer the purpose; but when a ne w Constitution is to be formed, yu wiill see every nvm repair to the poll, arid the best and fittest men in the communitv will be chosen. No man in the State will be exempt from serv ii ng in a Convention ; even your Gov- e -rnor, or your Judges, or Ministers oi t.he Gospel, micht be elected to that 'oody. You may therefore brimr pother the rrreatest talentsjr i be-SUDD0SfV r ' ?nU Cai? 11 ?e S.UPP??Fd be. factious CT v.that such a botlv'- adopt any measure which would Hot be for the welfare and happiness of the otate r But gentlemen have said, that ud der the present s.aie of things, noth ing like oppression t;;kes place. Mr. S. admitted that we at pi esent enjoy iibert5r and a cod degree ot napm- ness : and that the Constitution un- der which we live is a good one, considering the time when it was made. But since its formation, times and cir cumstances have changed. Gentlemen call loudly on the friends of the Resolutions, to shew any in stance in which the people are depriv ed of their rights, and what necessity there is for calling a Convention; Mr. S. said he would examine this subject. We alledge that our Repre sentation is unequal, and we name two Counties to prove it, Rowan and Co- x luraous. i lie citizens ot Loiumnus have six times the portion of Repre sentation in the General Assembly that the citizens of Rowan have. What are the rights of a citizen ? His first rightc are his natural rights, to life, liberty, and the possession of hap piness. But when he enters into the social compact, he surrenders some of his natural rights f r the sake of enjoying his political rights. All men are born equal, and every man similar ly situated is entitled to equal rights and equal privilege's. This being a fact, we have a right to complain that the citizens of the large counties do not possess equal political rights with the citizens of small counties. And if he must speak of Eastern and Wes tern (though he disliked the distinc- tion") our people believe that they do not possess their full share of Repre sentation in the Legislature. That the Eastern ?Jembers make laws for us, and tax us without our consent; and they make our Governors, Judges, and other officers. The East h is the majority, and consequently the power, and though they may not use it impro perly, they may do so if it pleases them. This we call a grievance. To deny to freemen an equal voice in making laws, laying taxes, Stc. is Anti-republican and Aristocratic. It may be called Republicanism ; but it is Aris tocratic Republicanism, just such as he would call the Republicanism of Virginia, or that of any other State wherr it is necessary to have a free hold to entitle a man to. vote. Here, then, said Mr. S. we present a grievance. Here we show you some thing like oppression. What, asked Mr. S. is more degrading to a man than to feel that he has less political rights than his neighbor? To discover that the citizen of a small county has five or six times the power that he has ? For what, asked Mr. S did our forefathers fight? It was for a free j Republican Government and equal rifrnts. 1 Th ntleman from Halifax had told the committee something about the struggle whkh had taken plaee in Connecticut between the pow ers of Church and State. It was a happy struggle. He differed entirely in opinion from the gentleman from New hern on this subject. It was, said Mr. S. a struggle between the State and the Church, and he thanked God that the State had prevailed That they had thrown off the yoke of the Clergy, and establibhed a free Govern ment. The gentleman from Halifax next makes a comparison between the situ ation of our small counties and the small States a comparison that is al together inapplicable. A State is a. sovereign, indissoluble body politic. A County, on the contrary, has no power but what is derived from the sovereign authority of the State. As a State, Delaware is equally sove reign with New-York. When che thir teen States met to form,- National Government, it becam; necssary to make a compromise ith the small States of Rhode nd Delaware, and thev were ,-cordingly allowed the same Reprentatlon in the Senate with thc5ther States. But has the little yunty f Columbus any sove- Why, then, J: u entltie.d lo more Representatives m proportion to its size, than other counties. The gentleman next alleges, that there would be great difficulty in a Con- V
