The Iron we Buy.

We copy this morning an article from the
Philadelphia North American in regard to the
iron purchased of British manufacturers, and
commend II to tho attention of our readers.
The facts disclosed prove that the purchasers
of Cheap iron, like the purchasers of cheap
things generally. get an inferior article. With
iron of the first quality abundant at home,
American purchasers should be able to get all
of their supplies without subjecting them
selves to the dishonest practices Of foreign
manufacturers. But this result is not likely
to be attained until our government does its
duty. and extends its fostering care To Amer
lean manufacturers. The subject is an invit-
ing one, but we must resist the temptation to
discuss it; and let the reader have the North
Americans article without further prelude
from us. 1t is as follows:

Cali for a Constitutions, Convention.

An election will be held on the first Thurs
day in next month, in pursuance oil an act vi
the last Legislature, to ascertain me sense OF
the voters of this State in regardto the calling
of a Convention TO remodel our State COnsti-
tuition. If majority of the votes cast shall
be in favor of a Convention, and the number
of voters voting with the majority amount 10
a majority of the whole number OF votes
polled for Governor last year, an election
of delegates viii be held Ga the first Thurs
day in November next, and the Convention
meet on the qst Monday of December ensuing
at the Capitol in this city.
With whom did the proposition to submit
the call of Convention originated? Not
with the people; but with members OF the
Legislature. During the past session num-
her of propositions to amend the Constitution
were submitted to that body, and in order to
get rid of them the submission of call for
Convention to ascertain the wishes OF the
people was resorted TO. If the people order
the call. the Convention will assemble and
make whatever amendments it may deem pro-
per; or it may proceed to frame an entirely
new constitution.
There are some important changes necessary
in our Constitution, but we doubt whether the
Legislature had the authority to take the steps
has towards the assembling of a Conven-
ton to make them. The spirit of the consti-
tuition is against opening the door TO whole
sale reformation. 1t is eminently cOnserva-
tive. Without having examined the debates
in h. no hat
the point. we are not satisfied that the consti-
tuition can be altered in any other manner
than that prescribed in section third OF the tn
article of that instrument. The meeting OF a
Convention to amend, or to frame new
Constitution, is not provided for; and we can
not believe that this was an oversight of the
Convention. We are persuaded that 1T is
rather to be ascribed to the conservatism OF
that body, and that it was intended that the
constitution should stand forever, or be re-
modelled through the slow and cautious means
prescribed; or through right of revolution
which lies in the people. We may be wrong
in these views. They are. however, homes
thy entertained, and constitute serious
objection, in our mind, to the call of a Con-
vention We should be pleased to hear the
views of some member Of the Convention on
the subject
Objections to the call of a Convention out
of the way, we should like to see the ConstI-
tuition amended so as to reform our Banking
system; to prevent further increase of the
public debt; and to authorize conventional
interest. But, taking it for granted that the
Legislature had the authority to submit the
question OF Convention, we have no idea
that a majority of the votes polled for Gov
ernor last year can be obtained in favor of it.
The people do not feel the necessity of Con-
vention, and having little concern about the
matter, it is not probable that they will turn
ont in anything like the numbers required.
We shall look therefore to the prescribed
forms for the am ndments desired.

Terrible Rencounter.

We are advised by friend, just from the
scene OF the occurrence. that a terrible rem
counter occur,d day before yesterday, in
Devils Elbow, Upton county. on the river.
between Esq. McCurry and Miles Garter, who
has small farm on the Elbow. The origin
of the fracas was Garter alluding to the loss
Of a wood boat, and stated his belief that
some OF his nrighbors had stolen it. McCurrp
asked him if he accused him of taking the
boat. To this Carter mad some reply. which
appears was satisfactory to McCurry, who
again repeated the question. Carterreplied. If
you insist on my saying so, will.'' McCurry
stepped into the house and got his riff aud
attempt d to shoot Carter. who drew large
pocket-knife. and rush-d upon him. Tue
rifle falling fire, McCurry drew Colts repea-
ter. and fired several sho 8 intiicting several
severe, if not mortal wounds upon Cart r.
During the fight he was himself severely aud
dangerously wound with the knife in several
places. The combatants were separated 10y
Bedford Brown, Esq. who was present.
MeCurry was recently, and may be at present,
Justice of the Peace. in that magisteral
district, and is much esteemed in the Nigh
Dorhood. Carter is the same who killed Mr..
Green Bateman. in that vicinity, several
years ago, aud was acquitted. Mr. Carter Is
not expected to live.-XsmpAis Ledger Agglst
