Convention Canvass.


The !" Knowing Ones" as they are called in
sporting parlance, are well convinced of the
necessity and propriety of running me ranked
as wings or democrats, for the State Convention
to form q new Constitution They well appre-
ciate that party nominations are to be made
or that some body is to be cheated Who Ia Ia
Dickens) is to play Quilp, and who is to be
cheated
Independent" nominations may be made
but we understand such to be pledged only and
with the most abundant enthusiasm to--them,
selves. This is !" the short and long, of the
selfvaunting g Independence and if we could
expose one half Of their hypocrisy. one half OF
their unblushing shams, lin order that they
might depreciate city bonds, that they might
proftably speculate on them, themselves,) the
community would stand astounded at the bold
imposture Of men, who pretend solely to con,
suit its interests, and bring forward large "sub-
scriptions to public projects, to confirm their
boasts. If we were permitted to speak, VIC
could reveal some queer things-could show
how and why one or two 'spublic spirited 3
gentlemen act. We could show efforts to ssrip
open the golden GOOSE" which are without par
allel in any municipal history. We are not
speaking idly. but from current rumor, and
from positive knowledge of an attempt to de-
preciate our city's credit We may be cleare,
hereafter, but let this rest, now.
It is only necessary for us to say that no men
should be elected to the State Convention, who
are not pledged to the popular and necessary
measures Of reform; State aid to internal i'm
provements; Free Banking; more liberal pri-
vlleges in the acquisition of citizenship; re
striction upon the veto power of the Governor,
etc.
The wings have manfully placed these and
kindred measures upon their platform They,
aione' have declared their principles; they,
alone, stand out, bold, clear, unmistakeable, in
their profession of State political faith. WHY
do not our democratic friends come forward
with their declaration Of faith, their pledge Of
action
We are all to vote, and we wish to know fo,
whom we are to vote. For man opposed to Oh
man in favor of certain principles, for man
pledged to endorse State aid to internal improve
ments, Free Banking, broader privileges of citi-
zenship, limited executive power; or for a man
opposed to all these'
Our democratic friends must meet all the cur
rent and justly popular questions of the day
or, they must prepare to submit to q most in
glorious and overwhelming defeat The people
will not vote for negatives or humbug -self-pro-
fessors There is no doubt about that. Both
parties must walk fairly up to the line of popu.
lar sentiment. Our Convention is not to be q
farce--but a fair and honest reflex of public
opinion
