CONSTITUTIONAL ADDRESS.

Some modern I" VTginus'' has recently pub
Initiating critique on the " Addres" Of our Con-
stitutional Convcnton and such is its severity that
many Of our friends are half inclined to give up all
as lost, and sit down quietly, under the unequal
operations Of the charter. For say they, " what
is the use Of trying to do any thing in opposition to
" vrginus ?" " Under his magic pen our bes,
intentions made TO appear reasonable ; and all
effort for reform is clearly proved to have, for
its object, nothing less than general revolution Of
good government" And in fact, was1 net thor
oughly convinced that the justice OF the cons;itu.
tiona cause, must, in tho nature Of things ensure
il an ultimate triumph, l should now shake hands
with hope, and bid everlasting farewell to every
constitutional expectation.
But truth is strong and will prevail ;--faleshood
is weak aud cannot stand attack. Now, the Con-
s,tutonalists act under the direction of the first
while poor " yrginus'' is obliged to do the best
he with the latter. For instance: he says, g il
is well known that the original and ultimate OBJ
object Of this party is to wrest from the hands Of
those men who own the soil ofthe State, the right
Of choosing their rulers" Some wsg must have

ELECTION.-The General Assembly Of this
State will convene at Newport, on Wednesday
next for the purpose Of organizing the State Gov
eminent for tho ensuing political year. Much anx
iey is manifested by the powers that be- for fear
they may have the modification of being dubbed

party now in Office reelected we would suggest
to the leaders the propriety Of cable towing u
sarfin member Of the Senate, who is very offcious
in making nominations for the tohoie county ct
Newporf. In our view, such conduct is disgrace-
fu, and ought not to be counienanced by any Leg
isIative body. Personally, we bear no i'll will TO-
wards the Honorable gentlemen Of whom we
speak; but when man in his station. win suffer
hmsefto to be used as cats paw for petty Office
seekers, il Is time for the press,o speak out Such
proceedings ought not to be countenanced by civ
