For TIE YINpIcArna,

Mr.. EDIToR,-Sir: Many questions of Con.
situtional Reform are about to be made the ties.
with some of the candidates for the LEGISLATURE
SO that the vote given at tho next election will
doubtless, be claimed rs an expression of public
sentiment by the candidates for the Convention.
if the people decide in favor of the call, SO that
we think it important tha,,he leading questions
OF reform should be fairly and fully considered
by the people, and that they should know the
opinions OF the candidates on those questions
1t is sometimes said that the questions of reform
cannot be acted on by the next Legislature, but
we know that the influence OF that body will
have powerful effect upon the adoption OF re-
lection OF the New Constitution, and we wish
its influence to be directed in the riolt way
The questions of Constitutional reform are of
paramount Importance & engross the minds Of
the people, and we think they have q right to
know tho opinions of every candidate for pop
ular confidence and favor; we, therefore, beg
leave to PROFOUND through the columns of your
paper, 10 the candidates for the Legislature, tho
following simple, though important questions,
viz:
LIST Are they in favor Of the State conven-
tion1
End Are they in favor Of entrustng the peo-
pie with the election for fixed terms, OF the Gov
ernor, Judges. Treasurer Auditor, Attorney Cen
eral, Magistrates, SheriHs, Clerks Commission.
ers of the Revenue, Constable, &c.
Sd Are they in favor of Biennial Sessions of
the Legislature
4th Are they in favor Of restricting the power
of the Legislature in borrowing money on the
faith OF the State to carry Oh general system Of
Internal Improvements
9th Are they in favor of the present County
Coart system?
9th Are they in favor of timely summons
and payment of qualified jurors.
18th Are they iii favor of an extension of the
right Of suifrage1
These questions are respectfully submitted to
the gentlemen who are candidates for our suffra-
ges, and we hope they will give response to
them through the presses as we'll as when they
canvass the County.

ELCQ} i EXTRACT.

The following is one of many very beautiful
passages i'll the late speech of Gen Cass, in op-
position to the Wilmot Proyiso
Il am no panegvrist of the South It needs
none. am q northern man by birth, western
man by the habits and associations of half a cen
fury but am All American above all | love
the land OF my forefathers. Iravere the memo
ry OF the Pilgrims for all they did and suffered
in the great cause Of hpmansrshts, political and
religious. And an proud OF that monument
which time and labor have built up 10 their me-
mory-tEe institutions Of New Enrand-a me-
mortal Of departed worth as noble and as endu-
ring as the world has ever witnessed, glorious
and indestluctibe. But while feel thus, should
despise myself if any narrow rrejadices or in
temperate passions should blind my eyes TO the
intelligence and patriotism Of other sections of
our united country ,o5their glorious deeds, 10
their lofty sentiments, to their high names, and
to those sacred inspirations, common to them
and to US, for the perpetuity and prosperity of
this great confederation, which belong to the
past, TO the present, and to the future; and
whose feelings and opinions are brought here
and reflected here by representation in this
hall and in the other, which now occupies, and
has always occupied as high position as that
held by any other portion Of the Union-a repre-
rentation which does honor to our COUNT in all
that gives worth to man and dignity to human
natureh
