The Constitutional Questions.

Contrary to the general opinion lately the
vote on changing the Constitution SO that the
Governor and Senators may be elected by plu-
rality, did not prevail. The Constitution in
these res poets remains unchanged, and the ma
jority system is preserved. The Representa-
tives to the Legislature will hereafter be e;sc-
ted by plurality. #..
The vote on each of the questions is an e1.
ceedingly close one.
The majority against the amendment relativs

The majority IN .taror of the amendment re.

The workingmen's Petition.

Tie Bangor Wing publishes the petition Of
some very able, but calm and dispassionate
remarks, which ,ge believe will be read with
interest by all classes. Rightly understood,
we believe tie interest Of the employer and
the employed to DC cne, ard therefore, if there
be discussion conducted IN the right spirit
they will both be found sooner or later acting
tremendously together,and the alienation that
sometimes exist will give place 10 good feeling
and confidence in one another.
The following is an extract from the article
of the Wing =
"This subject commends itself to the at
tention of employers and the employed both
as an economical and moral question, and it
should be satisfactorily settled in reference to
both of these points.
"The apparent prominent feature in this
petition, and which attracts the common at
tention and excites the usual remark is the
limitation of Labor for hire, to ten hours each
day. This, however, is not the principal point
but is incidental as afording means for the
accomplishment Of great and noble end

ance from the fact that it involves change
in the established custom, and the community
naturally enough feel a littly uneasy and
disturbed at the change. But custom needs
to be questioned and changed III 4 vast many
particulars, since it has taken the control OF
so many of the interests Of humanity. These
changes always appear sudden even when the
result Of the progressive movement of society
to wiser and holier state.-Care, great care
is necessary. in order that every change,
particularly if the pecunary interest of any
party is involved, be brought about with pru-
dence.
"What is true of aeommUnity, of the effect
Of diversifying labor, illustrates the advanta-
ges which the individual man derives from
the exercise of his various faculties and powers.
Man needs 20 be more than machine, more
than pin maker, or ship carpenter, OF farmer
he need TO be more even, than one sided
man he should be many sided man.
GA tree with its naked trunk and branches

These several stages as they unfold the varied
capacities of the tree. gives Us an illustration
Of what man should seek to be, and of wha.
by seeking, he may become il. IT ference to his
