Why must political evils be let alone? Especially

in state of nature: without government or laws.
&c In every community, there are men who seek
to accumulate fortunes by raising depressing,
every thing which circuates from man:
whose chief avocation is, to be cunning and design

whom they may devour. All these, are interested
in saying let as alone Those who have had the

labors under great distress, she must be left to her
fate. Not SO, spoke Henry: nor did Jefferson
write thus did the sw ord of Washington rest
in its scabbard. when his country needed his pro-

with far less talents and bravery, has come, like
Cesar deliberately, to overturn the commonwe alth;

CONVENTION


On Monday last CHAPMAN JOHNSON, Esq
according to previous intimation, delivered an adj
dress to highly respectable portion Of the citizens
of the county, at the Court House, explanatory oil
the views which had influenced his vote, as their
Senator at the last session of the legislature against
the passage of law for taking the OF the peo-
pie on the subject Of calling Convention 10 amend
the State Constitution, and which still ranked him
in opposition to that measure; at the same time,
submitting to them, and recommending for their
adoption, memorial TO the legislature, counter TO
the one prepared by the late meeting at Stanton,
praying that Convention may not be called, and
that no law may be passed on the subject.
Tie address occupied about hours, and was
certainly the grandest oratorical display we ever
witnessed With the pencil of master, he pour
rayed, in glowing lines, the beauties Of our pre-
sent dispensing, as with breath, the
dust that would obscure aud mar his lovely pic
ture. And if there was fault, il was the very
pardonable one Of assuming such positions as ena-
bled him give the hghest perfection to his work.
Other premises would undoubtedly have afforded
other arguments. But our object is not criticism.
We profess to have been pleased; and we should
be glad fit were possible, 10 present reader,
with the address.
The memorial has not been handed to US for
pYblicstion.--It is the same, however, that was
adopted in Chesterfield, and printed copies are, we

willing 10 obey the voice of the majority on this
question, and ii is for the purpose Of ascerIainng
more fully the of his constituents, that the
counter memorial is offered.
Whether the sddress has made any rroselytes,
we are unable to say but, is very certain, has
given a deeper tnge Of interest TO the question,
