the submission Of that instrument to the Peo-
ple, for revision and amendment.
Resolued, That the People are the only true
source, and safe depository, Of power; that
whilst they are capable of selfgovemment
they ought, at all times, to be trusted with
their own concerns; that their opinion, when
deliberately formed, and unequivocally ex-
pressed, is the best and most approved test OF
the character and tendency of public mea-
sures; and that, therefore, we view with re-
eret and disapprobation the attempt, by a bare
majority of the Senate, in opposition to the
voice of the popular branch of the Legisla-
ture, to defeat, or prevent, the expression OF
the pubIc'opinion upon the proposition to a.
mend the Constitution of this State.
Resolved, That the Constitution ought not
to be changed but by the immediate act of
the People; and that, therefore, Conven-
ton ought to be called, with authority only
to prepare such amendments as it may consi-
der necessary and proper, and to submit the
same to the People, for their acceptance or
rejection.
Resolred, That the Frceholders ofthis Coun-
ty be requested to assemble at their Court
House on the first day of the next Superior
Court, then and there to choose Delegates, to
meet such Delegates as may be appointed by
other Counties of this State, for the purpose
of concerning and providing the best and most
effectual means Of calling Convention of the
People, to amend the Constitution Of this
State.

WILLIAM II. CRAWFORD.

This highly esteemed and much in
jured public servant has retired from
the service ofhi country, to seek quiet
and repose in the bosom of his family
on his own estate, and amidst friends
who know how to value his sterling
virtues and the purity of his republic
can principles. No man in this coun-
try, not even the sage Of Monticello
himself, has experienced the same UNI
relenting prosecutions as has this hon.
est and upright citizen. His enemies
have been deadly in their hatred, his
friends firm and constant in their at
tachment. He has submitted to sick
ness and pain with the resignation of
a Christian; to injustice and injuries
with the fortitude of philosopher
Like Zeno's sage he rises above the
tide Of adverse fortune, and suffers no.
thing to disturb the equanimity of his
temper, or a murmur to escape his
manly lips. Although he has not, like
Aristides the just, been condemned to
Punishment for the integrity of his cha
racter, yet his countrymen have refus-
ed to honor him with their highest
trust, and he does not choose to COM
promit his own character by serving
under another. In retiring from the
service of his country, we doubt not, if
the secret workings of his patriotic
soul could have been known it would
have been found uttering the same ho-
ly prayer as the virtuous sage of A
thens, at the gates of the city, when
going into exile-"May the gods pre-
serve the Athenians from every mis-
fortune that might cause them to re-
member Aristides, or to want his SER
vices"
We will not disguise the fact, that
whilst we sincerely regret his defeat IN
