remarks on This subject, from the "Whig.'
The urgent Necessity for convention,
which has every day become more and
more apparent for the last ten or twelve
years. is made more clear every day. And
If, ~ is admitted, the voice OF the people
inM Ultimately declare for n convention,
why mol have il ut once Arguments in
ftYor of lis speedy call might be drawn
from the favorable state OF tranquility
which now exists, and from the probability
that us labors would be enlightened by the
wisdom of u Jefferson, u Madison, Mon
roe, Taylor, n Gi,es, &c. &c. which
few years delay will inevitably deprive us
~. And whfYs, when, they are gone,
shall we look for their equals We fear
that they Will carry ilirir maniles With

neglect the opportunity of deriving aid
from their conns.ls, by deiity which is as
