PENNSYLVANIA CONVENTION

Ii is pleasant 10 be able TO lay before our
readers such accounts as The following ofap-
rearances and prospects Of things in Tho Con-
venIion now sitting in Pennsylvania
ErtrGct Of Il letter 10 the Editor ofthc liner
ican Daily advertiser, dated
HARRISBURG, JUNE 6, 1887.
Mr.. PoULsoN | am we'll satisfied that
our good old Constitution is becoming more
secure every day. II is wonderful how il
stands the most severe scrutiny, not only in
lis principles, but its phraseology. No at
tempt to Change either has yet succeeded, or
even come near 10 success. Some gentle
men came here without having seriously
considered the consequences of breaking in
upon the fundamental principles of tho Cons
slitntion, and Without any design OF doing so.
They had some complaints Of lie adminjs-
irat:on of some Of the powers of the Govern
ment, and believed they might redress them
without any essential change. They bad
some general, vague impressions that some
amendments might bemade without disturb
ing the general action ami harmony OF the
system but all The discussion that has taken
place here, and the reflections which the
views here presented have produced, have
had The tendency, if not the effect, To con-
vince them OF The danger Of making any
change, unless a most clear and satisfactory
reason is shown for IT, We canno, admire
too much the knowledge and sagacity oil the
trainers OF the Constitution, not only in the
general construction Of this beautiful temple
Of civil liberty, aud the judicious arrange
ment OF lis parts, but in the exact precision
with which they have carried out their IN
lenlIons. Even the rambling debates we
have bad, which have wandered over the
whole instrument, whatever the immediate
subject may have been, have had the effect
TO set the members 10 think deeply and seri.
ously upon the " hole design of the Consli
tuition and the more they have thus thought
Of 1t, the more they have closely examined
all its parts and their continuation, the more
are they convinced Of the danger Of making
changes for partial views or for local SUBJ
jecis.
We have been in session five weeks, and
as YET n" alteration has been made, If we
except The trifiing change of The election
from the second 10 the third Tuesday in Oc-
iober, and II is probable that even this viii
be restored 10 the old day think that The
opinion is daily gaining ground that The les
We do with the Constitution the better ant
this opinion will have lis influence om iht
more important subjects that will be pre-
soned for our deliberslion, as we'll as tn,
iminor ones heretofore discussed. Ihul

For basely she had been betrayed,
And nobody would trust her.

To gain fair credit for his bride,
And found the lady willing
