THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

This instrument, although not such a
ono as the radical democracy of the State
had q right TO expect, is, after all, such
an infinite improvement upon the old one,
that it vii! receive, from all indications,
their unanimous and hearty support
The easy process of amendment, pro.
vided in the new instrument, compared
with the difficulties which attended such
an effort in the present Constitution, is a
feature which, is very generally approved.
T. And tbeapfovision which most warmly
commends. the new instrumental all en-
frightened friends of-lhe true interests OF
the State, is the intordict against future
laws to mortgage the faith and pronery
Of counties and towns 10 Rail Road Com.
lpanies. This provision will check ter.
lrible and growing evil, which, without
the adoption ofthe New Constitution, is
destined TO involve at least one-half the
State in ruin, bankruptcy and reputation.
| And, the article forbidding the State to
assume the debts Of counties, cities,
towns, &C., which have involved them,
selves in bankruptcy on account of pub
lie improvement, speculations, is a most
wise and jndicious provision. Before ten
years would elapse, under one, present
constitution, the Counties and cities of the
State would be clamoring at the doors Of
our Legislature TO have their debts std
died upon the people Of the whole State,
the. same aa The bankrupt States in
lS35-'6-'7 and ., attempted 10 have
their Indebtedness assumed by General
Government. .- -. wv L H.
There are numerous other equally wise
and wholesome amendments, TO- which
we have not now time 10. call the partic-
nlar attention Of our Democratic readers.
But il has no doubt been, read and read
again by nearly all, and by all who have
studied its provisions it has been ap-
proved. ..-.-......-.g.o .,
y We have only found two Democrats in
tie couuty, after considerable inquiry,
who express any misgivings in regard 10
yielding to the New Constitution a hearty
supports. and they would not say they
would vote "Np," because at that time
they had not given Il a careful reading. .
The Ohio Slate toarnai the central

TIE federal paper in this town spoke
favorably Of the new Constitution upon
its first appearance; but it has probably
received a rebukc from head quarters as
it has changed front. In the last Ash
ldnderis an article copied from the State
Journal, in Which The ridiculous charge
is made that Inc legislative apporiionmeni
in the new constitutionis a Gerryntdnder!'
Nonsense! it is because the constitution
does NOT contain Gerrymunder, that
will give the legislative power to the
Banks, in spite Of an overwhelming
popular majority in the State against
them, that these hireling and mcrcenary
presses are attempting TO rally Hessian
forces against its adoption. aa su0 TO aN
II is because the new Constitution re.
qdires the General, Assembly 10 enac,
laws taxing the Banks $50 that nil pro
periy employed in banking shall always
bear burden Of taxation equal 10 that
imposed on the property Of Individuals"
that these slaves of the Bank power have
sounded the alarm! % '''o-' ~
They see in the provision which puts
an end to the funding system; in the
provision which submits 10 the ordeal of
the people any law authorizing swindling
under the name of banking; in the pro-
vision which gives 10 the people the direct
control, through the ballot box. Of the
whole, State government, they see in
these and other Kindred provisions, the
handwriting upon the wall! land of.
course, the friends of a government Of
CORPORATIONS, rather than a gov
ernmcnt Of the PEOPLE, are bound to
oppose its adoption. II is doubtful, how.
ever, whether The great body of the whg
party will lend themselves, in this matter,
10 the purposes Of their party leaders. q
