Ma. White t 1 profcttnut totflikil ful in political tnatomr i but tm willing if "joti thiuk proper, tit it! -tb IbJlawkg khViJ occupy t place In th Western La roiiman. 1 hope tome otrsun wholi pre paridfo tloit nrll, will ndertkt t)i sectKiti of our Constitution, with luch re maiki at will demonstrate to th peopl the propriety lirciuinr Convention. 44 That all political power It vetted in and derived from, tha modU onlv," it (he first article ofthat part of our constitution railed a Declaration of Rights. What docs it mean f lei me tsk thote who are opposed to Calling t convention from a kind of t cautious fear lhat we have not the power lo alter and amend our constitution. Iio you believe that a political power was vested In your fathers and (.randfaiheri, at the time ther elect ed, from among themselves) members to a contention to form the present contti tuiion and that from thence forward, until the end of time noj;eneratioti has had, or will have, power to alter that iu perior kind of law called a Constitution ? If our forefathers were iroAr, are we not also firofite i And if so, why it not the power derivable from us, at much at it cvor was from any generation of people f I ha generation had power to make them st ives a convention ; and, ol course, it w uld he ours as long at it answered our iiirpose. Rut at they did not totally ex haunt, and no doubt would not have anni hilated political power if they could ( and urthertnore, at thy have laid, u That all political power it vetted in and deri ved from the people," 1 think we have political power yet, if the present gene ration call themselves the people, unu hilt k that the political power of thit day is not in people oi 1776, but in them selves, as fully and perfectly at it ever was : and if they think also that we can improve on the labors of the worthy sagei and patriott that have gone before us, I ask, why not make the improvement. 1 hope we are not like the poor, igno rant man, that when he went to mill, would put Lis grain in one end of his bag, and then put an equal weight of ttones in the other end. Being thus balanced, he w-i-nt-- n- hit way) end asked why he did not divide his corn equally and leave the ttbnes at home. He had never tho't of it, but with some pertuasion and assist ance, cot the toresrut of the bag, divi (led the coin into the two ends of bis bag, and went on, after giving thanks to the man who advised and assisted him, but was presently met retrograding. The poor fellow had concluded that hit father alway Jhai jjonin pneend of hit bag when he went to,mill, and that it was the only right way ; for if there had been any other right way his father would have done it or told him of it. -He did not think, that, God and nature had given him as much free grace to think' as hit father had been possessed of. Were the notions of thit man more ludicrout than the notiont of those who think we have not the power to alter and amend our con stitution, because our fathert did not par ticularly and definitely prescribe the mode by which it should be done But they have left 44 all political power vested in the people ;" and I trust that no other idea than that of the divine right of kings, will place it any where else than in the sovereign people. Did the worthies of '76 mean all the people, or a majority of them, when they said 44 the people." They certainly must have meant that a majority of the whole was the people,-unles they meant that thrminorjfy - thotild -.role- the ,majorjtyi itifcKS. Itilhl .1 .nevef , lTat . believer nor do I think that there is pateraal affection errotigtr in "North Carolitiafto' tauseS"mar jyrity of her.kons quietly lo.be.. governed by the minority, even if their fathers had told thenvthat it would be right for them trdo-9trr-Theyhave miBdtTan4 will think for themselves, and reason upon princi ple, regardless of consequences. They cannot help knowing what is justice, and of course will not be satisfied with injus tice. " That the people of this State ought to have the .sole and exclusive right of reg ulating the internal government and po lice thereof," is the second. article and second sentence of 'the declaration of our rights. Who did the convention mean bj- ,&tf&..fa.3'yihi- adopted'thit -artkle- - If they tantnU the people of any other State, they must at the Same time know, that it would. be impracticable for jhe people, in the state to have the iuerbal government and police thereof regulated in such a way, at to suit each other's notions and interests. Therefore) they roust have tncant a ma jority and not a minority of the people of this State, to have the - regulation of the affairs of North Carolina. ' That no man, or set of men, are en titled to eutusiva or separate emolument' of privilege! from the community, but I consideration of public tervlcet." li th third article. No language could be more plain and conclusive than this, that it was the intention of the convention of '74, for equality and juttice lo rtign in every fart ttf the , State j and lhat on, man'a. vote should weigh at much anejihtr -wnh out regard to hie local situation. But cir cumttancet are different now from what they were then. Now it it lhat the few govern the manyt and of coursethat the few are entitled to privileges that their own Ideas of justice and equal rights oughl to revolt at. What kind of reeling! would any five 6 you have if in company with three others and obliged to cfTccl some difficult piece oi ouunet in concert ana you nve were .ft...!.. . I- - . a in favor of one plan, and had the most rea son on your side, but the three would lay that we live in another part of the coun try, and by the same precedent that we have the power of ihewing lhat we are entitled lo the ascendancy, and you must yield whether we be right or not. We will govern you, because we can do it , and if we do it but tolerably, you need not complain, inasmuch at your com plaints would be useless. We have the power, and know how to use it to our ad vantage you must submit to us. I now itk the people of North Carol! na, whether the liberal meaning of a part of our constitution, is not such as to en title a tet of men living in the eastern part or our State; to separate and exclusive privilege! from the community And I ask, where will the " consideration ol pub ic services ' be found le entitle them to tuch privileges ? I understand the privi- cge to be very great, even So great at to put into the power of the Eastern sec tion of the State, uhe minority) a perfect control over every thing, imati and great, that comes before the Legislature. Such appears lo me to be the operation of the present constitution inconsistent as it is with itself in the extreme, yet we are told not to alter it, becauso it is the work of our grandfathers, and they deri ved political power enough from the peo ple to enable them to favor all things ; we having no power, and being very ignorant ought lo conclude that if there had been any better way, our grandfathers would have prescrMd jnoraTttljTelteved us from the irksomeness of thinking lor our selves. There is another part of our constitu tion which I wish lo say something about at this time, because I have not seen the idea mentioned in any publication on the convention question. 1 he constitution promiset, 44 l hat all free men who have lived in the state one year and paid pub- lio tar are-int tiled to- vote for itua mem- bers to the House oi Representatives," the operation of which, being in some measure unfair, and having so much hard ship in it, as to cause candidates and those that are highly favorable to the election of such candidate as the circumstances are against, to resort to intrigue and stratagem. The elections for Senators and Representatives 'to Congress, are not subject to this hardship, because one man can only vote for one candidate. . To explain my idea of the case as it might occur : Suppose a county Id c6h: tain looo voters, ana let there be three candidates in the county, two of which are in one end of the county , and the third in the opposite end. Then for the sake of illustration, suppose a line was drawn a cross said county, so as to leave 550 voters in the section where there is but one can didate, and 450 where there are two i and if all in one section give him their votes, he will have 550 s the other two will have 450..each,.on iheu. ftwn,aide-.ot.tbeJine Hut if the Vecorid'choice ofrthe"350vo' ten oh the side oLo,divid their votes equally betwixt the two who live in Ihe opposite extreme, theywill each have 73J votes ; when, at the same time, ihe one that has 550, has the -wishes of a majority of 100 oTT.Ts couhtfynlenf6rTithTTrbe the member, yet he is 175 vote behind the other two, who still lack 100 votes each to make thera equal with him (who is lelt at home) in the opinions and judg ment of their constituents. Such is the operation of our consti tution. Do the people oi this day believe that the convention that framed and adop ted the constitution would have this; part of their work as it is, if they had been able to see the bad e fleet that it has, in produ- kg animosities. ,nd bicke ciqga. hvtwetni. the people) in different extreme of xoun ucsf I believe that all thing that have any' possible tendency to produce discon tent among tbe people, ought-to bev stu diously avoided. Could not thisobjcc- tionaoie pari oi our consinutioii oe auercu and amended by a "convention, without any difficulty? I hope the convention committee will think of it when they meet at Raleigh in November.
