The very small quantity Of oatmeal to be

The accounts from Mayo given in the

the Parish OF Cong, 81 deaths occurred
within a week in neighboring parish,
a like number in three weeks. Rev.
Patrick Fitzgerald, Roman Catholic Gu
rate Of Kilgeever, thus illustrates the in
lensiiy Of the famine:

The bill for ho ljng a convention to revise
and amend he const tuition Of his State, has
passed both branches Of our legislature and is
now q law.
The bill pr DIVIDES Tor holding the election Of
Delegates TO said Convention on the 81 Monday
OF April next, and gives La Sale two members
and La Sle aud Grundy one member together.
The Convention is 10 NEE, at Sprnggeld on the
first Mon lay ia June next and is to be compc-
scd diane hundred and six,y.,wo members. The
amendments and alterations m ade by said Con-
vention 10 the Constitution, are 10 be submitted
to The people for ratification on the fourth Mon
day Of October next
We regretIhal the bill has passed in the shape
for the election Of Delegates; but as there is no
alternative left, tho e Electors should i'm edialey
prepare themselves fur the contest.
We regard this election as the most imPolan,
one that W II take place perhaps during our day
and generation. The foundation on which our
political and evil institutions rest, is TO be re.
modelled and the god or evil effects Of the new
Instrument formed will be ftl for years to come.
Hence il becomes Of the utmost importance that
the Electors Of this Dis,ric, and the State n,
large, exercise tho almost care in the selection
ofthose 10 whom they transfer this important
delegated power. Men Of sound sense, and
correct political sentiments should be selected,
and if possible such as have 20 political or sell
f,h aspirations to crafty who will so 10 the
Convention free from all mcrcenary considera.
ntions, and as independent alike Of the highest
funclionary Of the State as the humblest ind'-
viJual 10 the COMMUNICATIVE will respect the
interests Of all, and vigilanlly guard the great
interests of The pr oducing classes. To SO form
the government as to simplify its operations,
rather than render them moro complex than at
present, is most to be desired, for no axiom is
more true than that "tke People are governed
too much" We want neither Napoleon nor
on Alexander to represent US, but men Of sound
!. sense, who arc in full sympathy with the great
Iaboring and producing classes, and who will go
there as "lree q. the air we breathe" and Meth.
or turn tothe right hand nor the left, to advance
the interests Of any class at the expense Of .he
whole community.
We hope those who may wish to represent
the people in tie Convention, will Immediately
announce themselves, and at the same time give
to the public their views respecting the diiIercn,
alterations aud amen dmenis 10 the Constitution
which they deem important. The time is short,
and active measures should be taken to canvass
the merits Of all wishing seat in the Convention.
