Abstractly, We will admit mat me rtaic-
man is right in its opposinoa to restric
tions.
Yet that journal must admit that with
out restrictions imposed, tbe Convention
could not have been called, and we know
bat the Watchman was too strongly
Wedded to tbe idea of tbe call of a Con
ventiou to abandon it to maintain an ab
stract notion of right. A legislature may
not bind a Convention without the con
sent of the people. It would be the work
of an agent restraining aud conlroling the
principal; of the servant binding bis master.
Bat tbe Waichman will remember thai
a Convention was not called hastily. It
was jibe work of long deliberations both
in the Legislative Halls, and with the
people, and before the question came up
tor decisive action, every member of tbe
Legislature who voted tor the b;ll may
have considered himself specially and
imperatively instructed to rote for each
and every restriction imposed. It was
the work ot the people themselves, au
thenticated in proper form by their repre
sentatives. Ati apon b -nsiou ot tbe Deo-
pie lest certain commendable and neec
sary features in theCtnby Constitution
should be destroyed .was not allayed ui
tu mey had Douud their representatives
to. i heir preacrva'iou.
The restrictions are therefore not the
exercise of unauthorized power, nor do
they establish auy precedent for its sub
sequent abuse. Tbe people, the masters
of the Legislature, are the responsible
parties, not their representative.
It therefore does not so much resolve
itself into a question of policy, though
we have before treated it is such, as one
of obedience to tbe will of tbe people, ex
