be said upon the subject Of the conflicting claims
OF parties founded on National politics, and their
interference with the present agitation Of the plan
oil Constitutional Reform. But what interference.
IL our cause is just et political combatants respect
II as such--let them nominate for Legislative Of
cers only such candidates az are fnyora bic 10 ts
promotion, aud all would be well. The questions
upon which those parties are founded are confess-
edly questions arising out Of different interpreta-
tions oi the National Constitution. The founda-
tion of ours, on the other hand, is the question
whether we, as State, shall have any Constitu-
ton ut all. If then these claims do conflict, we
can only say liz is not our fault and which is
the paramount clam-which il to be first attended
to, the foregoing statement Of the subject shews os
conclusi,ely rs the most elaborate argument
In thus setting forth briefly, the views Of this
Convention. and Of those whom they represent, il
has seemed necessary to be somewhat specific up
on particulars of the proposed reform, which may
admit Of different notifications in the minds Of dill
iersni men. We have only TO say that il is not our
Object 10 dictate, but that will be satisfied with
whntever provision, on any OF the subjects treated
of, shall be found Ia enbody the deliberate, and
disabused public opinion OF the State. For the
purpose Of embody ing that public opinion, in the
form OF proper Constitution, we call you, Eel
low Citizens, 10 assist in placing men in the Exec
utive and Legislative offices favorable to the
Cause, and assure you in conclusion, that in so
doing you will find yourselves associated with
those. who will be disheartened by no discourage
men,s, and seduced by no allurements to abandon
the grent object Of their efforts until il shall be IL
naly accomplished.

good 10 men of all political parties and O.
pinions in the Stale that we regard all
as Constitutionalists, whatever may be
their opinions on other political subjects,
who support our plan OF Constitution in
Rhode Island and that, having no con-
nection as party with national politics,
and neither asking Of, nor conccding TO
each other, with reference to the same,

accomplish this great object of public I'm
provement and Reform.

form and the establishment oi State Con-
stItution, Is an increasing necessity and

nish new evidence OF underlined and ire
sponslbe power 10 the General Assembly
requiring 10 be defined and limited by the
People, in their sovereign capacity, in or
der that their rights may be placed bey ond

d. Resolred, That the Opinions and Re-
solutions expressed and adopted by the
Convention, held in this city on the 22d

ed in reason and justice to be surrender
ed and that the defects in the organiza-
