eV The Raleigh Star alludes to a Convention

ventiOn came out only Tor "a change In that in

made in their Constitution? This is matter in
which the people, even in the estimation of these
gentlemen who have been proposing for some time
past to take care Of them, have some little interest
If their Constitution is to be changed, they ought
to know in what particular. It is s,uiug rather
far it strikes us to ask them to call Convention

only in secret consultation among the federal leaders
INGENIOUS RESOLUTIONS We hear it claimed by
Wing leaders, and admitted by Democrats, that the
Resolutions of the late Whig Convention are ingeni-
ousy drawn up-that is in plain English, they were
artfully prepared, no more being said than it was
thought prudent to lay before the public eye. This,
instead of commencing the Whig nominee to the
people, must operate against him. party which
seeks the public good and the advancement of prin
ciples, can have no sound reason for shaping its
course on public affairs in such way to pro-
duce the impression that there is more of art than
candor in its declarations.
