CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM; AGAIN Prior to the year 1848. there had been no complaint made froni any quarter a gainst our present State Constitution.--The people appeared satisfied with it, and were living on. impressed 'with the belief that it was an instrument well adapted to secure all the blessings of " life, liberty, and property." Bur such it ws not thought to be, by him.jwho had been se lected as the Candidate of the Democrat ic party, and ; so he staked his election mainly upon the alteration of that instru ment, in one particular, which he alleged was material ! to secure equality of suf frage am6ngst the People. It was evi- dently a popular hobby, at least, in some sections of the State, even at that election. The agitation of this question opened oth ers. During the two years following, pol iticians, the press, and legislators succeed ed in arousing the public mind to the en quiry, whether there were not a number of defects, in our present Constitution, which should be remedied. A larce ve- ! ry large and influential portion of the Peo- j pie came to the conclusion that there were SllP.h flpfpPfW The nnoctinn - . - 1 1 . . ! . nv-. vjv-juuii, uaiuianj, arose, , What is the best mode to remedy ; them ! rpi n . i mo : rr :raz..r. v. ih iz;sl:z:z The latter has been adopted to carry i .h,nk c,..i.,ii.. . i .. .w.wugii ouruujf me mvoreu policy 01 "Free Suffrage,' and the nartv. whose leauer tirst nroached that policy, has de- mands any thing against that will, it is I sected the throat, and declared that they clared its-preference in all cases, for that equally wrong; Why then cannot these j found coagulated blood about the wind mode of effecting amendments to the Con- sections agree to let the People act as lm- i nine that some nf tr . fl t , . stitution-a mode against which, there tosettle thedillVrence between them ?

'. . - nons wntcn have been olten urged, and never yet refuted, objections which the history of the passage of the "Free Suf- frage" bill through the last Legislature, tended more to strengthen and confirm than any argument could possibly do. lothis mode, the Whigs, almost unani- r . . piously indicated their decided opposition. They thought it would result in making the Constitution a foot-ball for party lead ers, for years and years to come. Thus stood the two parties which have divided the State, on the great questions of nation al policy, at the adjournment of the last Legislature. Portions of both of these parties, judg ing from the sentiments of their leaders, entertain the opinion, that the Constitution requires amendment. Vhat portion of eacn so thinK is not known nor are thev agreed in 'what particular the Constitu- tion should be altered. Gov. Reid in speaking for the latter, did not dein to enter into particulars. It has been well n tn lha mil, . .1 1 known dress issued, by their representatives at ti v iuc jiuuiit, ever since' me au- the close of the .fast Legislature, that the j c,rcumstances and for these reasons ap wish to have the Constitution amended is Peal to our-Western brethren, by a re much more rife and strong, in the extreme ' memnrance of past associations between Western part of the State, than, perhaps, ! tnerOselves and the gallant Whigs of the any other. No one can be surprised at j ast t0 rec9nsider their determination to this. They declare that they are laboring j re(lire ary such " pledge" and let them under grievances; too heavy to be borne ! meet uPori .somR common ground, where by freemen, and that those grievances ! ALL can umte consistently, when the time should be redressed, not as a matter of fa- tor, but as an act of justice because it right. 1 hat they are sincere in this de- claration, and are determined to nress t -m , . ,v . these claims upon the people, with all their power of argument and earnestness, none can doubt, who know the hio-h mind' m S ed and independent character of those. who are foremost in the movement In the mean while, leading men iu the Eastern part of the State profess to look with suspicion and apprehension upon these movements. Thev are beginning to brace, themselves up against them. The result will necessarily be (unless some arbiter, fair and honorable, can be select ed, by whose decision, each section will j a o l ,V R" a,"gry , hpated Con". a i r v . our People and- retard the progress of the oiaie. oucu a c.oniesi win accomplish no good, but rather produce evil.
