New Constitution.

We still continue the publication of the
table showing the vote in the several coun-
ties upon the subject of calling conven-
ton to amend the constitution The ma.
jority in its favor, as will be seen, is up.
wards of fifty thousand. This large ma.
jority conclusively proves what are the feel
ings and wishes of the people on this i'm.
portant measure, and we have no doubt
but the majority would have been much
larger had not the idea got abroad that
one of. the objects to be attained, by the
amendment of the constitution, was to give
negroes the right suffrage. This doubt.
less deferred many from supporting the
call of convention. Some of the re-
forms which the people expect to accom-
plish or attain by new constitution were
set forth in the prospectus of the "New
Constitution" !" published by Col. Medary,
as follows:
"lst, to enforce the necessity of fire.
quent recurrence to first principles-2d.
to show the importance of the fundamen-
tai law corresponding with the growth of
our state and the "progress" of liberal
sentiments-3d, the security of natural
rights by a charter made and adopted by
the people themselves-the experience Of
the past in developing and directing the
necessities of the future.
"a total reform in our Judiciary system
and the practice of our Courts.
"The election of ALL OFFICERS BY
THE PEOPLE!
"No increase ofthe state debt, except by
vote of the people themselves.
"A system Of common schools and of
education, worthy the age and the state
"No Legislation, but what the people can
reform or annu, when found injurious"
In these reforms, we hope and believe
they will not be disappointed.

that we have been successful in CARRYING
the Legislature. This county was lost 10
us through our friends. Many democrats
who have been steadfast and faithful to
their principles all their lives, turned a.
galnst us when we most needed them, and
thus lost us the comfy. The question
which produced this result, was the pro-
posed new county Of Noble. the whie
candidate had pledged himself uncondi-
tlonalIy in its favor, while the democratic
nominee took the ground that he would
faithfully represent the wishes of major

within the limits of the townships out of
which the new county was intended 10 lie
created. This seemed to us perfectly fair,
and a position in which the democratic
party Of the county would very generally
have sustained our nominee. We would
much prefer that our democratic friends
in those townships should succeed in their
wishes In this new county matter. and con-
