Prominent Wings in favor Of th
New Constitution


Notwithstanding the dictstonal address Of
the Whig State Ceatral Committee, in Oppo-
sition TO the New Constitution. large num-
Der Of the leading and most prominent wings
throughout the State. are doing all they can
for the New Consultation. Among them we
might mention the following distinguished
persons, well known as the most prominent
and leading wings ofthe State:
Hon. Peter Hitchcock of Geauga County,
and one of the leading whig members of the
Convention, is laboring with all his might
for the adoption of the New Constitution.
Judge Ceilings, President Judge of the
Brown county district, another leading whig
member of the Constitutional Convention, is
is speaking from one end Of his district to the
other, in favor of the adoption of the New
Constitution. al5ll
Sampson Mason, District Attorney Gen
eral of the United States, and one of the
Wing State Central Committee, and lead
ing whig member of the Constitutional Con-
lvention, is in favor of the New Constitution,
and intends to vote accordingly. Gen. Ma
son asserts in the most positive manner, that
his name was placed to the late dictatorial ad-
dress of the Wing State Central Committee,
without his knowledge or consent. This
shows that the Bank bou yht Wing State Cen
trail Committee have committed an act OF
forgery by placing his name to their address.
They placed his name to their address, to
give it force and character, while every per-
son knows that it would possess no force or
character without the name of General Ma
son. Their address not only contained false
hoods from beginning to end, but they had
to resort to the base act of forgery, to give
their misrepresentation force and charac-
ter.
Hon. Isaiah Morris, of Clinton county,
another leading whig member of the Con-
stitutional Convention, is in favor of the a
doption of the New Constitution. This he
gave the Wing State Central Committee OF
Columbus to understand few days since.
Daniel Peck, Esq, a prominent whig Of
Belmont county, and a leading member OF
the Constitutional Convention, is one of the
strongest advocates for the New Constitu-
ton in the State, as will be seen by the let
ter we publish this week from him. Mr.
Peck's msnliness and honesty of purpose
7 has brou ght the whig clique of Columbus
down on himin their usual splcenish manner.
The State journal calls him a 'grumbler,
o and thinks that he is hardly fit for the whig
party. .E
Co!. Dwil Chamber, one Of the Oldest
Y and most influential wings in the State, an(
one OF the delegates to the Convention from
Muskinsum county, is also jealous advo
# cate for the adoption of the proposed Consti
: tuticn. He has lived long enough, and oc
cupied enough public positions under the oil
Constitution, TO have felt the evils arisin
20 from Its lmperleeuons.
= judge Bcksenderfer and Dr. Bennett, {
Tuscarawas county, twos whig members {
the Constitutional Convention, have bee
! laboring, both by speaking and writing, cv
Ter since their return from the Conv entior
i lin behalf of the New Constitution. Don
u fail to read the able letter from Dir. Bennet
ts which may be found in another column {
,e to-day's paper The doctor talks like ma
who has the good of the State at heart, an
one that acts from principle, as every free
y man should.
G. S. Hamilton, Esq, editor Of The Marys
# vile Tribune, and whig member OF tn
, Convention from Union county, is hard a
! work laboring for the New Constitution
Mr.. Hamilton is one of the most talente
young men in the State.
H. G, GRAY, editor of the Painesville TIE
= egraph, and one. of the fourteen who vote
against the adoption of the Constitution
the Convention, has since his return frol
Cincinnati, studied the mater over, and
~ now one Of its warmest supporters.
W These men were all wbig members of Il
Constitutional Convention. They had the
orders from Columbus, as Mr.. Peck says,
~ vote against the Constitution in a body, b
his they refused to do. They were makir
a Constitution for the people, and not for Il
on particular benefit of the banks, monied ari
nv tocrats, and the bank bought Wing Sta
lin Central Committee. And because they ha
the independence to speak out their sen
ments, as all men should, the Ohio Sta
.o Journal, with some of its tribe of barker
~. throughout the State, have mounted them
-, their roughest manner, by calling them gruI
blers, and host of other vile epithet
- Even the editor of the Stcubenville Hera
has undertaken, in his weak way and ma
ner, to read Mr.. Peck, and other old a
!, prominent wings, out of the wing party, /
' - cause they are in favor Of the adoption Of t
q New Constitution. Billy, dear, (l)
