For a considerable period prior to the
year 1882, Mr. Benjamin FoIger, Of this
city, was on terms Of the most intimate
friendship with MIR Elijah Picrson, also
of this city, whose piety and good sense
he highly respected and esteemed. A
short time previous to the period advcr'ed
10. Matthews had announced to MIR Pier
son ,ha, he (Matthew) "was the spirit of
truth that the spirit oftruth had disap-
peared from the earth u, the death OF Mat

that the spirit Of Jesus Christ had entered
into that Matthias, and that he, (the fel-

However great the disappointment ofthe friends
of liberal principles and enlightened Legislation
may be a, the proceedings Of the Convension' NJ
already published. towards forming Cons'hu'lo"
for this State we can see no rational ground fo'
despair or encouragement. Our cause ls based
on the immutablc principles Of truth and justice
and these can suffer no disparagenient by the
greatest latitude OF discussion or the most scruli
nzing investigation, which our opponents ma,
think proper to institute. A candid examination
and fair discussion Of principles, is what W.
seek, and what the opposition are most anxious ''
avoid. They would not have subject now pro-
posed for discussion which nigh, lead men to ex'
anime seriously into our present form OF govern
ment +; because, it is by this, that tho nakednes'
and deformi,y Of the charter system are rendered
more apparent, and the conviction, every where
produced by close and candid reflection. more de-
cidsd, that liberal and enlightened system ID de-
manded by all who seek to promote the true IN
teres,s of the State But the subject has now beei
fairly started facts have been elected which nave
induced the citizens TO canvass the claims of 'h'
two systems proposed for their adoption,-a hab'
of thinking has been induced, which 's nn essen
tal preliminary 10 correct an efficient action an'
the final result will no doubt be ausPicious to h'
friends of Constitutional reform. The time ha'
arrived when is essential to the interests OF the
citizens and the welfare Of the State TO adopt
form of government essentially different from 'ht
presen, system one that shall do away with the
odious distinctions hitherto derived from the sancti
~ of the soil, and the assumed bu. absurd rights o.
primogeniture, and establish the rights and liberty
of the citizen cn the pure principles Of democracy
--one in which population and property 'hall 0'
recognized as the only legitimate basis Of repre-
sentu,ion and the rights Of all secured by Just
equitable, and impartial, administration OF th'
laws. That its adoption may be delayed by thu
prejudice of some. or opposed by the selfish in
,erest Of others, s what we were led to expect, ant
prepared to meet but in short time, the pro
gress of enlightened opinion will render such op
position altogether vain and nugntory. The Peo
pe Of this State now feel, and will shortly see, the
necessity Of forming Constitution, liberal IN Prn
ciple and republican in character and this they
will ultimately effect. in despite Of all the oPPos't
ion which political dsmagogues can raise agans
