Who is so in sensate as to say, that the general ctcr nal principles ot public safety and self aeiatce, dn not impose obligations which are the supreme law.
 The committee, in the discharge of this Ligh trust have, Tn q truly demo cratic spirit, exercised Inc most praise worthy eifarts to obtain the full consent Of tne people of every district to an act so interesting to ali; aud they found the subject so popular, as 10 allow them to say that it is unanimously approved. They have communicated as their reason for procrastinating the election of delegates to the first of March. which was longer than some, in their impa- ticnce of delay, seem to think necessa- ry,--that the whole people should have ample and timely notice Of the event, the want of which, on former oeca- sion, caused some portions of the coun- try to 20 unrepresented. The time from March till April is certainly short enough between the election and meet ing oi the delegates, to allow the dis tant members to De preseat-and this, with other reasons which weighed with tho committee, caused them to tiy os the first of April for the convention to meet.
 h fixing the number Of delegates at five for each District, the committee were influenced by the consideration that the same number represented the people in the late convention, with the most perfect satisfaction to the public.
