We beg leave to diSer from those who enter tain this idea, as it would establish a most dangerous precedent. Our view of the mat ter is, that the Legislature should pass a bill falling a Convention and ordering an election of delegates to it pass such laws as they may, in their wisdomT believe will tend to the further welfare of the State, and then adjourn tine fte. ! The Convention will rep- resent the sovereiifntv of the doooIo of the State, and ill -hava fulp. power to pass any , laws or ordinances it may please. We can -av -- si no necessity for the legislature and the Convention to be in session at the samei time.
