70 There are few presses in the
State blatant against constitutional
convention-bu a very few. The sole
arguments used against a convention by
these pure and immaculate presses is
the depravity of human nature and the
cost. Political morality is so low: say
these presses, that an attempt to change
the organic law would be dangerous.
This argument, if it rises to the dignity
of an argument. comes from those Or
gans of Democracy mostly which laud
the virtue and intelligence Of the people
and boast of clear swing for the Dem
ocratic party for years to come. Beau
tiful consistency! Without a shadow of
authority they tell us the convention
will cost not less than 100000. We
have shown by the items it cannot cost
but about one-third of that sum. Have
they given us any fgures2 Not one.
Have they advanced reason for SO
large an expenditure = nary reason.
The only inference left us is that the
party which, according to these presses,
has clear swing for years, must have
two hundred thousand dollars for steal
ings.
Republicans oppose convention
while the Democracy is so strong as at
present, not daring to trust them with
the formation of constitution. The
Democracy cry out against the corrup-
tion of the people and dare not trust
themselves. In justice, however, to a
large body of the people we will say no
such cowardly fear is entertained by
them. A majority of thinking men are
in favor of reform and do not fear to
make an effort to gain it.
