U We extract the following cor

Crescent of the 18th: Mic -ss4n
.THE NEW STATE CoNyENrIoS.-A bill
has been introduced into the House whicl,
provides for taking the sense of The PEG. q
Pile for a Cor ~veniion to make a new con.
1t would seem that we IRE lu,
poor wo,kmen. " THIS constitution was
made only five years ago, and now wr are
10 have another. We think it wonld be "a
good idea to LET our notwithstanding to :
'le lowest bidder, or 10 ~ofrrsa prize, like
and magazines. 20
Seriously, the amendments onlred ase
3" many, that if adopted. The OLD c"ns,ius
ion w"tIld resemble thai remarkable pair
IF stockings so often darnrn ma, moi IL
bread of the original remained il would
be II question: Of rasnistry for q patent
awyer IL srtc. r F. 8EstE r E II
''ne decided advantage TO be gained hy
Convention is the dispatch with which
he amendments can be eff cled., BY the
constitution, it takes six years TO
any Of its provisions; by The action
# a Convention, they can be reached next
January. t.a4 p@H
The people call for an amendment to
give them The choice of all officers. Be.
'ond this, we do no, know That any change
$ required. A Convention is AN expen.
I'VE show. The Romans h d this same
for spec'acles; but they were
agacious enough to make candidates for
heir favor treat them both to shows and to
read. Our denagognrs treat only to
and think the people very migrate
il they don't give them some good office
