Constitutional Reform.

The Springfield Republican is leading off in favor
OF Constitutional reform, in manner moi at all cal
eualed TO give satisfaction to the old fogies who
control the present Legislature Of Massachusetts. I,
argues, that representation ought to be based upon
the number Of potes in the State, and while it does
not indicate any particular measure OF appdTtl0n-
ment, it declares ewphatically,
s'rhat unless the method proposed shall be based
on substantial equality, treating every voter in ev
ery part Of The state as being entitled To an equal
voice with his fellow voters in every other part OF
the state, the people will not adopt H."
This is taking a long su,de in advance Of the
party leaders, aud we hope, though we have very
liltle faith that something may be done 10 remedy
the present inequality Of representation far it
arises from making population and not voters the ba
sis of representation.
The Republican also Iavors the election by The
people of Judges Of Probate, Police Justices Trial
Justices, and Commissioners of Insolvency and
therein it adopts The views Of the reform party Of
the state, (preferring however, that the tenure Of
office shall be not less than fine Years,l and it
no valid objection the election OF Shers, District
Attorneys and Registers oil Probate, by The people,
any more than 10 the election Of any Of the execu
tive officers Of the state
Perhaps the wing majority Of the Legislature may
see these things the same light in which they are
presented by the Republican, but we have little faith
that its radical notions viii be regarded with much
favor. The reiormatory panks in the platform o.
the parry, as laid down at FiIchhurg, last autumn,
were regarded as an innovation upon the established
ussges of whggery atthe time, sort Of indirect
stab atour yenerated constitution But our friends
Of the Republican we're determined to have them
incorporated, and as their influence was not TO be
dsregarded by the Convention, they were finally
adopted it was understood more for the sake of
peace and harmony in the family, at the time, than
with the most distant idea the part of the major
ity of that convention of ever carrying them out in
Legislation.
There are many people in the Stale who are con.
identy expecting to see the present dominant party
redeem It's pledges Of reform, to the people, made
prior to the election, but il is not the practice Of
the whig party Of late years, act either with pru
dence or discretion, we have no such expectations.
We are glad. however, to influential an organ
Of the party. as the Springfield Republican remind
ing Legislators of their duties aud advising them Of
the sentiments Of the people in the interior towns Of
