General Real,h

We are assured by our physicians
that 1t rs time of general health with
the people in this vicinity We hear OF
no sickness of account, save with an oc-
casional pioneer on his first arrival; and
we presume it does not exist among us.
The aggregate number of deaths may
appear large, and yet We believe they
are no greater than is the case in equally
populous communities in the East.

Good Advice
The National Era, speaking of our lat,

The National Era, speaking of our late
election, says:-
s'Let the free state emigrants avoid dis
sensions among themselves. In the face
ofsuch an enemy as they have to contend
with, it is madness to be quarreiling
about titles and land sites and monopolies.
Let them first combine their forces to de-
feat the common enemy, and then settle
their Internal difficulties as they can"

leve this is fair statement of what they have claim
3D. / do not undertake to make any conclusions moi
warranted by the record, and therefore shall not at
tempt to account for the opposition of Mr.. Giles to
the original amendment of Mr.. Meares. and his ac-
quiescence in the change 1t is hardly possible to
conceive what causes may have induced excitement
and dstrust in such body, but this do undertake
to say-thGt the modified amendment IS no essential
change from the original
And now, sir, come to the last point, in making
which no unauthorized deductions, new inferen-
ces are suggested; and, ask, if Mr. Giles, as IS IN
sisted, intended to guard the article so that ma
joritv Of the General Assembly might propose to the
people Convention, what was gained by inserting
"Gencral Assembly,?
Let this point be clearly understood. Mr.. Meares'
amendment read thus: "No Convention of the peo-
pie shall be hereafter called except by concurrent
of two thirds of each house of the General As
sembly." This is objected to and amended by in
serting General Assembly" after " called" Now,
what possible difference as to the implication OF
power could ensue from the change-this insertion
of General Assembly? Ifit is to be properly un-
dcrstood that implied power exists in the Legs-
ature to propose to the people the call of Conven-
ton, may not this power be equally implied in the
manner and degree, as justly and as fully, un-
der the original proposed by Mr.. Meares, and obec-
ted to by Mr.. Giles, under the amendment adopt
ed and acquiesc ed in by Mr. Giles? If not, why not?
And if it is So then what force in the argument ba
sed on Mr. Giles objection?
Allow to the Legislature the power to propose to
the people call under the article as it now stands
and what prohibtory word in the amendment, as
first proposed, forbids it?
arrive then, SIR concluding at this point that as
the article in the Constitution in respect essent-
ally differs from the one to which objection was made
both being equally, but neither in my opinion pro-
perly, liable to the construction of implied power
in the General Assembly to propose the thing which
they in express terms restricted from doing
except in the mode prescribed it right to conclude
that no idea was entertained of any such implied
power, as no word was expressed And that mode
being clearly and fully provided for, both the calling
a Convention by the Legislature, and for amending
the Constitution, the General Assembly has no COM
potency beyond this single one granted, and there
fore power whatever to touch the question, ex-
cept as the Constitution prescribes.

Mr.. j. H. Headen at some length opposed the
amendment, and wished the law to remain pro-
posed by the Commissioners of Revisal.
Mr.. Jordan supported the views taken by Messrs.
Phillips and Shepherd, and was strongly opposed to
increasing the stringency of criminal statutes at
period when the rela xaton of the penal code had
proved most beneficial in England. He, therefore,
supported the amendment.
