The convention will then have the entire

We clip this from the Natchitoehss Herald
af the LIST inst,--a paper We have, with regret
during some months missed in cur exchanges,
As the Herald Proposes 10 give its views from
tine to time, relative To the questions which
viii i" probably be melted in the convention"
we would respectfully ask lis ep;aien, as 10
whether the convention will be plenary or
limited ! Must it be governed by the law o.
ls4l, prescribing the alterations 10 be made
in the Constitution. or will it have authority
10 substitute for the present constitution enc
entirely new I
These Undergraduates are pFopounded in all
courtesy and good feeling. They involve
matter Of the first magnitude, and unless
fully understood by the people before the
Convention, may he productive If serious con.
sequences.
We infer from the above. tia, the Herald
deems the Convention plenary in its powers.
Our ewn opinion is different but for the in.
formation We may gather, and for what may
result 10 the public, We are willing, mildly,
generously, Honestly 10 discuss this polRt with
the Herald, II il nenessary this task should
be undertaken BY some persons, and the hope
OF drawing into il ahler minds than ours, is
one object nf this proposition.
