sage through the Senate. OF which there is no
doubt Letter postage is reduced to the uniform
rate Of til rec cents, and the accompanying Sec
ton Of the Bill contains all that is OF interest to
printers and publishers. The permis sion grant
ed to transmit newspapers through the mails
within thirty miles of their places Of publicW-
ton, will work revolution ns much to the pecu-
ciary advantage of the ntry publisher us 10
the benefit of his subscribers. II cannot fail to
extend the circulation of every well ceud ucted
newspaper, and, in proportion us paper is well
sustained it becomes useful and interesting u its
readers. This law does not take effect until the
lst of July next, but, we are well satisfied,
there are hund reds of Democ rats who have
heretofore objected to taking their coun.y paper
on account OF expense, that will subsch hbe nOw,
upon the assurance that the postage will cease on
the LIST of July next. We confidently look Tor

as they extend US n more liberal support, in that
will the Sentinel bee, me more worthy

or We have read with attention. the re-
marks Of Judge KENNoN, of the Constitution
al Convention, in regard 10 the question o
repeating charters. His position is, briefly
ahai charters are contracts, between the Leg.
stature and the person ar persons to whom
they are granted; Thai the Constitution can
not confer power upon the Legislature TO re
peal such charters as have been granted cor
specified time, ms The Constitution Of the
uniled States prohibiles States from passing
any Ia y 'mpairing the validity OF contracts
He does moi deny the right, nor do we un>
derstand him ms opposing the principle, Of
restricting the Legislature Of the State, as to
the exercise Of power, 10 tine tenn of its ex
istence--thal is, giving it, from this time for
feard, the power to "altef, amend or repeal"
all the acts Of lis predecessors. Under an
organic provision of this kind, The Legisla-
ture could not grant any charter for period
beyond tha, for which its members we're
elected and hence, chartered companies could
not claim the contract as existing beyond
the time when the power Of tie Legislature
reverted to the people. Judge KeEnon, as
we understand him, is opposed, in The most
radical sense, 10 'vested rights" only he is
unwilling 10 incorporate into The New Com
slitution a clause which must be imperative,
and reflect, on that account, no credit upon
the legal discernmenl of the members Of the
Convention.
We have said thus much in regard 10 this
mater for the purpose OF dong Mr.. kennon
justice, and placing him in what we conceive
to he correct position before our readers
lie has been severely censured by the Denl-
ocratic press of the State for his course on
this question, and we, among the rest, tho,
that he had abandoned The, Democratic cause
and Inc cause Of right, and was lending said
and comfort to our opponents; but that was
before we had heard, save through perverted
channels, tchat his position ras.
There seems 10 be little difference, IN
sentiment, between The Democrats OF the |
Convention, and il is TO be sincerely hoped,
as /, is generally believed, that there will be,
shortly, tho restoration of good understan>
ding on This subject.
