Sufficient is already known Of the
recent State election to make it Ger.
tain that the Executive officers under
the Now Constitution will all be from
the Democratic party.
1t is to be lamented that the main
body of the Democratic party is oppo-
sed to the new organic law, for no 9th.
or reason THAT we have been able to
fnd) than that Wing Convention
made it. We say it is to be lamented
that the New Constitution must fall in
to the hands Of its enemies for we do
not think that there is any good citi-
zen in the State that does not pray for
year or SO Of quiet, free from cleo
tons and clectioneering and Conven-
tons and New Constitutions.
If the coming Legislature does not go
at once to work, to carry out the will
Of the people as embodied in the Con-
stitution under which they have been
elected, it will be difficult to foretell
when the day shall come that the
political horison will become quiet.
The question now is will there not
be call for another Convention by the
coming Legislature
It would not much surprise us. The
mass Of the people are ever careless
and Indifferent with regard to the SOW
creign rights in their hands Constitu-
tons are framed to protect them, and
guard the fundamental principles of
the government from the abuse of eth
er the Executive or the Legislature

Convention until we found that people

we were willing to urge it and did 50.
We watched its growth and listened to
the d bates out of which it drew its

Ths utmost harmony prevailed in
the Convention and VIXEN it's iahorers
