WnEREAs. Organic and consttional law is para
mount 10 all pnriy measures and party questions;
and political parties properly arise only with re-
ference to the conrtructon Of the constitution, and
the measures to be pursued under il; therefore,-
Ertract from proceedings Of Wing County Conpei-
fi0n. rt
Now, Messrs. Editors, what political ignorance
or charlataLry is herei Political principles cannot
be called into exercise in the constitutional conyen
tion! Indeed Suppose it should be proposed in the
convention to establish an order of nobility; suppose
proposition should be made to limit the right of
suffrage to native born citizens, large property
holders, or TO such as can read Greek and Hebrew
(not improbable supposition since the proposition
of the whig paper al Rockville, and the contemplate
amendment to city charter) suppose il shall be
proposed to incorporate in the constitution, section
prohibiting the legislature from repeating charters of
incorporation, from requiring banks to have specie
basis, to withhold the issue of small bills; sup
pose indeed. many other enormities which will be
proposed and adopted if the wings get the majority;
and will these involve of the principles of the
partiesi | am sure that party SO ignorant of the
science of government will be trusted by the
people TO form for them political charter. Why.
according this whig declaration made here at the
very seat of Government, ii IL no matter what the
constitution does contain. &. A VOTER
