MIR. GRAHAM's CONVENTION BILL.

The bill |" concerning Convention to amend the
Constitution OF the State introduced into the Sem
ate by the Hon. William A. Graham, and published
at length in last, will most likely give rise to
considerable discussion in that body. Mr. Graham
himself will be heard upon it, but he will no doubt
be answered, and the real character of the measure
thoroughly exposed.
The Constitution of the State declares that "no
Convention of the people shall be called by the Gen
eral Assembly, unless by the concurrence of two
thirds of ali the members of each House of the Gen
eral Assembly" Mr.. Graham proposes to call
Convention by vote of the people, and in man.
not provided for warranted in the Con-
stitution; and he will argue, already intimated,
that though the Constitution does impose restric-
ton in this respect the Legislature it imposes
the people, and that therefore, they can do
what he proposes. The people, so long they pro-
ss to be governed by Constitutions al FORMS must re-
spect those forms, and cannot change them unless
they do so under authority therein contained; but
then the people unquestonaby possess the right OF
revolution, and discardng all Constitutional limi-
tations, they can at their WILL call Convention and
change the Constitution; and they call another
Convention, and another, and another, and thus
have new Constitution every year. No one in this
country disputes this right; yet IT is REVOLU
TION, nothing more and nothing less; and this ex-
traordnary proposition emanates from gentleman
heretofore regarded eminently conservative! -
from gentleman well informed in Constitutional
law and theiscience ofgovernment, and always look
cd upon by his friends the advocate of law order
and established precedents, and the infexible op-
ponent of wild, hasty extreme measures! We
are profoundly surprised at the course of Mr.. Gra-
ham on this subject. His bill is palpably UNcoNsT1-
TUrIoNAL and REVOLUTIONARY. 1t can be sup
ported upon no other ground than upon that of an
appeal to the people of the State against their
organic law. The principle of the bill is not new
it has been condemned by Mr.. Clay, by Mr.. Calhoun,
by Mr.. CASTOR and lift had been offered in the Con-
vention of 1885, which amended the Constitution
and inserted therein the section above quoted, it
would undoubtedly have been promptly and unan-
imously rejected.
But we have little space to-day to devote to the
subject We may allude to it more at length here

~ The Register, referring to Gov. Reids &C
ceptance of the Senatorshp, and the consequent va
cancy in the Office of Governor, says: "No one, we
presume, envies Gov. Reid the indecate position in
in which he has placed himself in this matter" Now
this is of the essence of malice and meanness, but
is in entire keeping with the nature of the attacks
made by that journal on both Gov. Reid and Col
Biggs since their election to the Senate. We can
tell that paper that many hungry Wing leader en-
vies Gov. Reid his position-but it is his, and no
power can deprive him of it. Gov. Reid has been
called to it by the Representatives of the people, and
thereby released from the obligations he was under
to complete his term as Chief Magistrate ofthe State
and the Constitution has provided person to act in
his stead Governor until the due qualification and
installation of Mr.. Bragg. Is there any thing indel-
icate' in that? Gov. Reid does not belong to that
order of politicians who ''place themselves in po-
sitions where they not wanted Every post he
has heretofore held has been freely conferred upon
him by competent authority and the great secret Of
his good fortune has been his honesty, his aversion
to place-hunting, and his sincere devotion to the
rights and interests of the people. If the Register
wishes to preach sermon which will at least have
the merit of being appropriate to the subject let it
turn its attention to certain leading of its own
party, who are perpctually looking, and twisting,
and wiring, in the vain hope of political promotion
By the way Gov. Reids majority for the Senate was
twenty -seven-Mr. Badgers, in 1s4s, was just one
Was it 'ndelicate in Mr. B. to ''place himself in
such ''position?'

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Our readers will find this document in our col
ums to-day. 1t is plain, clear and able expose of
the condition of the country and of its relations with
foreign powers The position occupied by the Pres
dent with reference to foreign powers and the doc
trines he lays down, rather repeats to our own
policy as an independent power in the earth, must
command the approval of the people generally.
1t is gratifying to learn that the income of the
government from duties on imported goods and the
sales of public lands, largely exceeds its expend.
tures and that the surplus is being applied to the
extnguishment of the public debt The President
recommends reduction of the Tariff.
But the message will be read with interest by all,
and it is not necessary that should refer especial
ly to the subjects embraced in it. 1t is document
in every respect worthy of the administration of
Franklin Pierce, and fully up with the expectations
of the advocates of good government and progress.
