The Convention.

The proceedings Of the constitutional
convention at Springfield are becoming
daily more interesting, 1t will be seen
from the letters Of our attentive aud oblig
ing correspondent, that the subjects Of the
judiciary, the nun.ber Of senators and rep
resenalives, the dcsric!ing Of the State,
and The night Of suffrage are al present un
der consideration. The veto power has
already been disposed Of, and Tie vote TO
pass bill over the governors objections
is fixed al ilree.hflhs. The subjects now
under consideration are Of the utmost i'm
ipor,ance to the people. To remedy our
present cumbrous and faulty Judicial sys-
tenn was one of the main objects tina! in.
duced call Of the convention. and surely
no less potent argumen, in favor of the
convention was the prospect held out Of
accomplishing reduction Of our public
expenditures by llmiling and reducing the
number of senators and representatives..
The proposition of 25 senators and rs
representatives We believe will meet with
general appreciation, and is perhaps as
far reduction as can safely be made.
As TO the various propositions entertained
in reference to the judiciary system, it 10
more difficult 10 decide. Tina, the Judges
should be elected by the people is so well
settled principle Of late years tina, we
presume there will be lille difference of
opinion on that score; bu, as 10 the term
Of years lor which they should be elcc.
ted, and the manner Of their election there
is less Immunity. A pretty long term
seems necessary TO ensure independence,
but too much independence is (aul, as
well as too little. The manner of elect.
ing the supreme judges adopted by the
conveniently single dislric,s-slrikes
us as manifssdy wrong, aud we hope this
decision may be reversed by the conren-
ton on its final action. |. is right that
each circui, should cleo, lis own Judge,
bu, the judge 10 aci for the whole State
should be elected by tie whole State. 1t
is an anomaly in republican government
that part Of limited extent of territory
should choose officers 10 &C, for the whole.
We hope for lie best from this conven.
ton. Our present constitution has many
serious faults, and this is the only oppor
tunity we shall have for years TO remedy
them. II the members suffer themselves
10 be guided by an enlightened wisdom,
and oschew al! personal or lacious ends,
we have no doubt constitution can be
easily framed that will be far preferable
10 our presen, one.
