Conseitufionai Convention.

We began the discussion of the question
of Constitutional Convention, to arouse
the people of this section, and, if possible,
the press of the State, to the important SUBJ
ject. We are less anxious that our peculiar
views in regard to it should prevail, than
we are that the attention of the people
should be called TO il, and that they should
vote upon ii with deliberately formed opin-
ions. We can live under any Constitution
that suits the majority. The yincennes
Times is the only paper north Of us in the
ton. II says:
The Evansville papers are doing good
thing. They are agitating the subject OF the
proposed calling of Constitutional Con-
vention. Very few of the papers of the
State have had anything to say on the sub
ject, and so far as they are oracles OF the
parties, and representatives of public opin-
ion, doing all they can to let the people
alone in their blindness in regard to one of
the most important matters which can come
before any people, and which is just new
especially important TO the whole people of
our great State. This is not right. The
papers ought to agitate this matter until the
people are forced to see what is their interest
and duty.
The defects of the present Constitution
should be pointed out-the mistakes OF Its
trainers should be commented upon, upon
the one hand; and upon the other, its per-
fections should be shown up-its virtues
commended By this means the people
could vete in October intelligently upon the
proposition to be submitted to them. But
If the bare proposition comes before them
without their considering its magnitude and
Importance, it is indeed folly to hope for
better things, and we must put up with swell
enough"
Between this time and the election, we
propose to review, through this paper, the
whole subject at some length, either editc-
rally or by a series of communications
from the pen of a lawyer; and in these
articles we shall deal with the subject fairly
mot as partisan and politician, but as a
gentleman and a citizen.
The Evansville Enquirer, the Democratic
organ for Evansville, is opposing the Con-
vention in jealous editorials, and objects to
the proposition IN toto. The journal, the
Opposition paper. favors the new Convention
with signal ability and earnestness. Were
it not that we dissent from its most promi-
nent reasons for the new Constitution, we
should copy and commend its articles. As
it is, however, we make few extracts from
one of its articles, which will at least sound
plausible to the reader, however much he
may be opposed to a change, revision, or
abolition of our present State Constitu-
ton.

WHAT IS 1T TO BE A PUBLIC Mantle
Boston Courier defines what it is to be a
public man, in a truthful and impressive
manner, as follows: t.4..
One single idea seems to have effected
some minds, to which we deem it proper to
allude-namely, that Mr.. Choate, n great
lawyer and great orator, was yet not a
man is of one who holds Office, which is an
extremely narrow view of the subject. But
it often happens that those who are most
successful in gaining Office, either by popu-
lar election or in any other mode, gain
nothing else, and afterwards are speedily
forgotten. While others, who have attained
no bad eminence" of this sort, are really
far more in the public eye, are better known
for their sterling qualities, and are more de-
pended on when the public service requires
their counsel, than hosts of those who climb
to mere station by indirect means, or creep
to il through "a low-browed cavernous av-
enue" In the broadest sense, Mr.. Choate
was public man.
His fame, not rs a lawyer, which is q
more local reputation, but as a most able and
brilliant orator upon questions of national
policy, and as patriot Of unbending integ-
rity, had passed into the remotest corners
of the land; and, nearer home, where was
the great political movement in which he
was not in the front rank? We take up no
newspaper, however distant, which does not
hold this view, nor any which does not thus
understand him. This is to be a public man
in the highest and truest sense-and in re-
publics, those who are thus known and
honored sometimes save them from the
evils to which Office seekers have brought
them, and from destruction, by their influ-
ence over at least the better sort of the
community. Neither Demosthenes nor
Cicero are remembered for the offices they
held.
