From the Sentinel of the valley


Looking TO the general welfare, and
Influenced by spirit of Cancellation
and compromise, the body TO whose
wisdom the task ofremodellins our pre-
sent form OF government had been sub
, mltted, has offered to their con stitu-
cnts system worthy, in our opinion,
of all favor and acccptation. when
compared with that under which we
now live, and under which il must
be confessed we have enioyed happi
ness. prosperity, and protection for
upwards OF fifty years. IL Is not to
be denied that there are some feature
in the new. which formed the principal
causes OF objection Ia the old Constitu-
ton; bat we think VIC have abundantrea-
son 10 be thankful that our political
condition IS greatly improved, our
weight IN the legislative department
ut the government increased, and the
expense Of the Commonwealth con.
Slderably diminished. While, there
