At the solicitation of Ross, and his they are now. What then are the objections partisans,, the other Chiefs have consented to urged against it? It is said to be novel in prac tice and principle, and far too easy in its execution. We have shown already, that it is not novel in principle nor it is without precedent in practice; the experience of20 years might convince us that it is not easy of execution; for our Constitu tion was ratified in 177Gand has not been amend ed since 1789. Besides, it is proposed to quiet! all such fears by the article which prescribes a mode for future amendments. It is said how ever that the right of the people contended for by this recommendation "is founded on the assump tion that ail were born with equal political pow ers," and that it "lends to the monstrous conclu sion that a maioritv may impose upon the minori ty what government they please; that they may abolish the representative republican institu tions of this-country and rear upon its ruins the most intolerable despotism." But these ob jections pasa a sentence of condemnation upon the Declaraliu-ji of .Independence and the principles of the American .Revolution, and when we deny this right of the majority of the people to remodel their government, it leads to the much more postpone making a treaty, until the meeting of Congress; and to prevent any unnecessary delay after that time,, an exploring party is to visit'the Arkansas country during the present summer.

When Ireland-' had - won aj partial restoration of her rights' by the removal of an odious restriction upon her Catholic people, we witnessed a flow cf gengrous gratulation from the hearts of North Carolinians; and will they turn from us with in difference when we remind them that the same hated granny over the conscienc es of Catholics is sanctumed'by the very charter of their liberty? Unless we choose to indulge a decree of sus pi( nr. that is alike dishonorable to ourselves and subversive of all those principles of action which arise from observation and experience, a remedy for these evils is neither difficult nor dangerous. Bv your rotes at the elections in August, pro nounce your determination upon the quf-tion ''whether a change is needed inth e Conslilul ion ;" that expression ol your will being sent to your liepresentatives. tbey will be bound to provide a remedy, or to pass a law by which you shall be enabled "to effect it yourselves. If 'this obliga tion does not arise from that article in t!ie 15ill of Rights which secures to yon the right of "pe titioning the legislature for redress of grievanc es," then it was a privilege far too trifling to be retained in so solemn a charter. The expression of vourwill, will be instructive to your repre sentatives: and if they do not obey it, then, in deed, a period has arrived in the history of the institutions of this country, when the people are bound by the constitution, and their servants alone are exempted lroai its obligations. iW vou need not rear such a result.

It is-not possible lor the most zealous and elo- nuent riariizan to force from the minority of North Carolina a dental of the great democratic republican principle that a majority must govern. I'he general practice of the States has deter mined that the mon ordinary and therefore per haps the most appropriate lemedyfor Constitu tional evils (where the existing constitution con tains no proMsion for its amendment) is thru' the medium of a State CONVENTION, authorized and in its incipient steps regulated by law.

Of all the efforts ever made hy reckless po Iitcians to disturb the peace and jeopard the pros perity of their country,the attempt to produce an excitement relative to slavery is the most unjustifi able.

The wonder is that, innocent or guilty, has been able to sustain this awful press u re "r,tH such fortitude and - equanimity.

When she approached the awful point of receiv ing her dying daughter in her arm?, her agita tion nearly overcame her feelings, and the breath' less stillness of the audience evinced at once their interest in the rec;t,il and their sympathy for her grief; bat when she repeated that gentle but too keen reproach of the victim, "Oh mother, I screamed and I screamed, ?rhy didt't you conuT' her bursting heart relieved fcself in a torrent of tans and the contagious influence of the afTectinir imonc all mound, knocking a vehemence that melted '.vd upon her.

Tlie Constitution derives its authori ty from the people, it is express'y declared In that charter, "'that all political power is vested in, and derived from the people only.' Tlwy therefore created a limited delegation, when bv that charter, they clothed the General Assembly ttith the power of making laws, and unquestion ably, tlie same sovereign power may originate r.ny other body, with any other delegation of power their discretion may suggest, and their wisdom approve. To argue that if mvst of necessity be unlimited, is to contend that the sovereign power itself is limited, which is ab surd, and 13 to affirm that the General Assembly was not rightfully constituted The fact that our first ami early conventions were not usually limited, militates nothing against our position.
