| AMENDMENT OF TnE .. CONSTITUTION.
The following smendmenis to the constiiu.
tion will be proposed 10 Congress in the early
part Of the next session.
ist An elective federal judiciary.
I'd. Depriving The President Of the power
of nominating 10 Office Senator or Represen.
ta,ive in Congress, until his term Of office
shall have expired by limitation. tke
sd. Rendering The Office o! President di.
rectly elective BY the people. !.
4th. Requiring that all nominations shall
be confirmed by the joint action Of the two
houses, instead Of BY The Senate alone, az is
now the case. And i. Uf 9fn1 Ufl
5ih. That no candidate can be eligible TO
the office Of President who may have served
in that capacity, unless four years shall have
elapsed after the expiration OF the term for
which he was elected. .r1-ss
We cannot see the proprieiy Of making
any amendment to the Federal Constitution
Il is already model Of perfection. Founded
| by men who have ever been esteemed our
wisest and best, and whose deliberations none
Of the pickering Of faction were permitted 10
disturb, it has been our guide in glorious
career which has no precedent in The history
of nations. Our ancestors were proud Of it,
and taught their children to regard it with
veneration. The friends of liberty in every
cline point to it as pattern of justice aud
equity. And we who have lived under it's
benign influences and enjoyed its blessings
are called upon 10 raise our suicidal hands a.
yainst it. We are asked TO amend the off,
spring of The wisdom OF Washington, Frank.
lin, Hamilton and Morris-men whose lives
were spent in the real service OF the country.
Verify, our Legislators have sufficient assur.
ance and confidence. 1t will not surprise US
to hear Of proposed amendment 10 the De.
claration Of Independence.
lf any thing should be unaliered and intact
il is onr constitution. 1t is the foundation Of
government and any tanpering with i, en-.
dangers the whole fabric. We hope the peo-
pie will speak their disapprobation Of this
project and preserve this instrument, at least,
from the tinkeIing hands Of partisan poiti-
clans The motto tlet well enough alone" is
good and true. The epilaph on The tomb Of
discOntended man, 81 was well, would
be better; took physic and died." should
be ever before the eyes of our advocates Of
perpetual change.
