,.w,-Sew state Constitution.

The Loco Foco CONVENTION of Iowa sat l6 days
nas.ed a LocoFoco Constitution, consisting of the poll
cal dozuas OF the destructves done up In the shape
OF fundamental Laws Il disregards the boundaries
marked out By the act OF and goes the Mis-
souri, rve. II will probably be again rejected By the indie
Denden, freenen of Iowa. The effort 10 give an
ultra partisan character TO the fundamental laws
of State Is too absurd 10 be tolerated by commit
nv Of independent freemen. The political partisans who
for the time beirg get control Of State Convention
appear 20 think that there is danger of people changing
their opinions and 20 prevent any such result they will
fncoroYae their political fooleries into the Constitution
and then they will be nailed and the people cannot change
them even II a large majority desire 10 do so.
These political Constitutions are INTENDED to forestali
and proven, the free and independent action OF the Peo
pe The accidental hsffedged politicians whe get into
a modern Convention 10 think that they are the
embodiment of political wisdom and that they will en-
BODY their orn partisan opinions, call 1t Constitution
and fssten IL on the people incubus through all time
TO come They suppose thst they are wiser than any
former future body OF men, and therefore they Will
legiso,e in detail for future generations
They also seem entertain the opinion that they have
arrived at the ne plus Ultra of political perfection, and
therefore there shall be farther progress and nothing
shall be LEFT 10 the sound discretion aud free will OF the
Peope acting through their members Of the Legislature.
For young great and growing State to repress It's
es and enterprise and restrain its improvement BY such
constitutional letters and handouts is too unreasonable
If Iowa expects 20 prosper in proportion to the advantages
Of her soil climate and natural position. she should nos
nauacle herself with suci a C0Rstit!toR!!!

FEARS OF A SLAVE IssURRECTIoH.-The follow
ing extract Of letter from Richmond Va dated the
4th inst appears in the Journal of Commerce. AL
though the affair 10 which it alludes appears 10 have
created an excitement sufficient to throw the War
with Mexico into the shade, we believe the Rich
mond papers have made no allusion 10 ii.
"There silly reports sometimes going abroad
matters apperainiDg TO the Southland We may ~
well you that, for two or three nights psst de-
achmen,s OF Volunteer Companies have patoled the
city and its vicinity by order OF the Governor IN conse
quence Of reports made 10 him relative 10 some supposed
threats made by certain class Of population The eX-
element that this procedure caused believe has near
y subsded and shall soon be ready again TO talk about
Oregon Mexico Il s probable that there was no rea
cause for alarm and the idle gab Of silly black fellow
gave rise to the whole affair
Why is it that the South is SO ready to believe
the first whisper Of rumored insurrectionl Is II
not owing TO a consciousness that the Slaves have
reason 10 fght-that in the words Of Jefferson,
they are enduring bondage one hour of which is
raught with more misery than that which our fathers
rose in rebellion to oppose ~
If such an excitement had occurred in one of the
West India Islands, originating in threats OF insur
rection on the part of the Emancipated Slaves, the
fact would have been trumpeted through the South,
and in all the doe faced presses of the North, I'm
GLIDING, probably, the Journal of Commerce,) as an
infallible proof of the folly and madness of giving
the blacks their liberty but it took place in a
slaveholding community, it will be spoken OF only
in corners and whispers.
We speak of this in no spirit of unkndness much
less of enmity to the South. We only ask her seri-
ously to consider the fac, that while in Numerous
instances within the last twelve years there have
been plots and rumors of plots OF instruction
among the Slaves in various parts Of our Country,
filing the people with the most alarming apprehen-
sons, no such event has occurred in the British
West Indies since the enforcement OF the Emahc-
patton Act in 1894, though Instructions were fire.
quent there before the Abolition OF Slavery. Ii is
Slavery not Freedom that exctes to servile insur-
recton. viii the people of the South never learn
the lesson taught by their own experience and so
abundantly illustrated in history
