that State, principles which led ID the call
ing of a new convention in 1846, which
gave New York the constitution under
which her people now elect all their State
officers.
What federalism attempted in New York
quarter of century ago, whiggery will
attempt in Ohio in May next. The mass
of their leaders are opposed to the changes
which the people desire, and their dele
gates in the convention will do their ut
most to frame such constitution as the
friends of Constitutional Reform will feel
bound to reject at the election in October
next, when they will be called upon to say
by their votes, whether the constitution pre-
sented by the convention, shall be the su-
preme law of the State or not. ' a..,ae
These facts should impress upon the
friends of a new constitution, the stern ne
cessity of securing the defeat ofevery can
didate not known, from the first, to be the
strong friend of new constitution, and it
should impress upon the democracy the me-
cessty ofsecuring as candidates the sound
est and the ablest of the party, as candi.
dates for seat in the Convention. .
Should this be done in the various coun-
ties of the State, the Convention when it
meets, will present to the people for their
acceptance or rejection, a constitution
worthy of the State, and which. embody-
ing as it will the great reforms which have
been discussed and approved by the dem
ocracy Of Ohio, will present a platform
upon which the friends of equal laws and
equal rights can stand, without dividing
sentiment, and battle in future contests.
To present to the world such consti.
tuition. "union, harmony, selfdenial, and
concession; everything for the cause, moth
ing for men," is necessary. The contest
is one to give constitution not only to the
present generation, but to our children's
children. The time for action is short, and
hence the necessity for greater activity.
A thorough organization-the selection
of good candidates by the true friends of
constitutional reform, will secure to our
beautiful State the model constitution of
the model Republic. Purely this is prize
worth contending tor-StateSman.

acquainted with the use of firearms, and
