and insolenty TO avow their determination to sub
vert the present constitution Of the State-remode
the judiciary according their own revolutionary
notions-abolish the laws by which property is a,
present hed-and substitute, for our existing social
insttutions--the creations of common sense and
venerable experience-the visionary and anarchica
systems of spurious and crazy philosophy.
Such is the solemn crisis on which we have en-
tered. 1t is crisis similar to that which ushered
in the despotsm of Oliver Cromwell in England
The same elements of fanaticism, of disorganiza
ton, of wild and dreaming speculation are at work
1t still more closely resembles that eventfu epoch in
the history OF France, which preceded the advent o.
Napoleon, and prepared the way for his reign o
despotlc rule. An analogy can also be traced
between the present period in our national career
and that revolutionary era in the history Of Ger
many, when Martin Luther laid the foundation of a
revolution that will never cease to operate benefi-
claly on the fortunes Of mankind, but during which
were evolved in that land. elements of evil, that

longed, for many years, the final triumph OF
civil and religious liberty on the continent
of Europe. Let wise men OF all parties,

and progress. But the lighted torch is not the re-
former that we are disposed TO welcome Kevolu'
ton, founded on the principles OF common sense, Is
the only species of revolution that we can approve
The revolution of l776 was a revolution of common
sense Practical men of genuine patriotism, of So
Der mnds, of large experience, were the leaders in
it, They were not incendlaries and madmen The
fear of God was before their eyes, and the love Of
rational liberty was in their hearts. We have seen
the blessed fruits of that and righteous revolu-
ton The whole world has seen its fruits. Fair,
glorious and unshaken stands the fabric reared by
the hands OF the mighty and good men of l776
Fifty years experience has confirmed for ever the
wisdom of their views, and the purity of their mo-
tves The same wisdom-the same common sense
the same intelligent patriotism created the Con-
stltution of this State. And now, oh sober citizens
of the republic, you prepared to the fruits of
that long night of agony through which your heroic
fathers passed with such unshrnking tortitude and
uafadng glory rudely swept away! Can you re-
main inactive when a combination of all the wild,
reckless, foolish and destructive influences OF the
day is threatening to sweep away every thing that is
pure and lovely and of good report, in the present
organization of society9
The great question OF this hour is plain one Ii
is Convention" or "No Convention Every man
can at once decide upon it. You must either vote
for lighted torch reform, or common sense reform
There is neutral ground You must either rank
with the agrarians, the inhdels, the abolitonlsts
the socialists, the Fourie rites, or with the conserva
tives, the plain common sense men who desire gra
dual, peaceful, constitutional reform, according te
the present organized laws of the State But pause
we implore you before you join with the former.

therto the great breakwater of the Union agains
the waves of abolition, will very soon be an abo
huon Slater The check which this great centra
State has hitherto exercised upon the revolutionary
and dlsorganizlng elements at work In other States
will be lost for ever. The Empire State will then be
as powerful for mischief as she has heretofore been
powerful for good. Who, in that case can tell the
issue! 1t is fearful to contemplate the probable re-
sllt. Again, say, pause before you cast in your
vote in this electlon-an election so full of momen
tous interest TO this State-to the Republic-to the
cause Of liberty throughout the world.
Every reader will perceive the immense impor-

Ant-rentism-the Convention question-and the

events Hence our anxiety to report and dssem

crisis is at hand, and public attention cannot lie too
intensely directed to the influences which crowd
the present time with omens of such alarming i'm

COMMON CoUscu-THE DEAD HousE-The
Boards will meet this evening, and doubtless, from
past appearances, will take no steps to free us from
the many crying abuses, and public nusances which
have existed in the heart of our city since the
present Corporation got into power. The Dead
House in the Park as public nuisance in this cen
trail part of city, has been felt more ntoerable
during the last few months than any previous pc.
riod since its erection. During the extreme hea
that prevailed in the month of August, several dead
bodies were, from time to time, placed in the Dead
House, and the offensive odor arising therefrom
proved dangerous, particularly to those residing in
the immediate vicinity. The United States Courts
are situated Immediately adjoining the Dead House
and so is the New York Gallery of Fine Arts on the
site of the old postofics public theatre, severa
public Offices and private houses, are also situated in
the immediate vicinity of this Dead House. The
manifest danger arising from the noxious effluvia
that arises from this offensive nuisance, should in
duce the authorities to adopt the necessary
to change the location of the Dead House, as its
continuance any further in the Park will doubtless
lay the foundation for some dangerous epidemic
1t is understood that the Grand Jury, at the mex
Court OF Oyer and Terminer, to be held in October
will take some action upon the subject
