viii becalled on to vote at Tic approaching
election for, Or against three imp0rtant 8
mendmontso of the Constitution of the State.
The results of this ssia wiIl certainly be
more lasting, f not more important thanthc
election Of public flnctionaries, and jet the
latter consideration seems completely to have
absorbed allrcference to the proposed change,
Wedo not intend toargue the subject ofthese
important alterations-the one relating to
our judiciary system being especially So
but wish simply to Gull the attention Of the
public to duty for the discharge of which
they should certainly be prepared by all the
light which reflection or expediency may
suggest-inasmuch as it involves radical
change Of policy.
If we had space, We would enumeratc all
that is argued both pro and con, relative to the
abolition Of the Cbanccry court, as separate
and distinct branch of the judiciary, thus
enabling the people to hear both sides Of the
question. Asit is however we can only IN
yoke them to think of the matter so as to
vote according to the dictates of their well
informed judgment The amendments pro
posed are as follows:
First. To unite the Chancory with the Cir.
cult Court jurisdiction, by abolishing the
former, as distinct branch, and eonfde all
equitable proceedings to the Circuit Judges,
making no difference between illegal 4 equit-
able remedies"
Second TO appoint different periods fol
the election of State and county officers, Sc
as to obyiate the embarrassment and confu-
sion which arises from the present system.
Third To give to the citizens of each po
lice beat in the county, the election Of theiI
own police members.
The following is an extract from the Law
regulating the vote on the above amend
mcnts:
SIC. 3. That it shall be the duty of tho
several officers holding the next genera
election, to ask the qualified voters, as they
present their tickets, whether they are for Oh
against the amendment, and the seyera
clerks shall make record thereof, as the an
swer may be, and the same shall be returned
by the Secratary of State, in time and man
ner now prescribed by law.

The SOUTHERN RIGHTS UNION PLATFORM

l. Resolped. That we hold the American Union
secondary in importance only to the rights and
principles it was designed to perpetuate that past
associutlonspresent lrution and future prospects,
will bind us TO it so long ii continues TO be the
safeguard to those rights and principles.
2 Rcsolced, That if the thirteen original parties
to this contract bordering the Atlantic in mar
row belt. whilst their seperate interests were in
embryo their peculiar tendencies scarcely de-
veloped, their revolutionary trials and triumphs
still green in memory, found Union impossible
without compromise, the tlIirty-one of this day
will yield somewhat in the conflict Of opinion and
policy,to preserve that Union which has extended
the sway of republican government over a vast
wilderness to another ocean, and proportionately
advanced their civilization and national great
ness.
3. That IN this spirit we haze lnaturcly consil-
cred the action Of Congress, embracing series
Of measures-for the admission OF California in

lishment OF boundary between tie latter and the

i'll the District of Columbia, and the extradition
Of fugitive slaves and connected with lhem, the
rejection of the proposition to exclude slavery
from the Mexican territories, and TO abolish II III
the District Of Columhia-and whilst do not
wholly approve, will abide by it. permanent
adjustment of this sectional controversy.
