The Legislature vs.. the Convention.

We observe that the impression prevails to
some extent among the people, that the Leg.
islature OF the State possesses, in como undc.
fined sense, the power to interfere with, call to
account, or to abolish the Convention apd its
agent the Executive Council and that
many are in favor Of electipg Representatives,
pledged TO carry out these notions, In the
event that the Convention fails, at the mp.
pro,clring session, to respond to the popular
camor by aboiishing the Council and then dis.
solving itself
There can hc nothing mole absurd than these
views. The Convention embodies in itself the
.sorrcignty If tie !Stdte--it is amenaLlc TO no
other power, for there Gun be none higher !;
IL cannot do an unconstitutional act for it is not
bound by the Constitution; it is substantially
tic people Mcmseires-,he fountain head Of all
constitutions and OF all law How absurd, then,
to suppose that the Legislature, which is the
mere creature, and which exists but by the
bare permission Of the Convention, can scru
tinizc the acts of the iormer, and abolish il
ct will. II the Convention declines to dis
solve itself, the only remedy LETT to those
who oppose its continued existence is rero-
Iution.
We entertain no doubt but that the Conven-
tion is disposed to acccde to the wishes Of their
constituents; but who and where arc their con.
stiluepts? Two thirds Of the men who elected
the Convention are in the army; from them
we hear no complaint; but from the remaining
one third, who are a, home, there has sprung
up q party, who, reckless of consequences, and
having no substantial grievances to redress,
would dcposc the Convention. even at the haz,

OF The men represented in the Convention are

and will the remainder, while their fellow

abroad, inaugurate n second revolution at home?

History would not only characterize such pro-
seeding, pursued under such circumstances, as
tho offspring OF folly aud madness, but would
consign its instigators to infamy.

human life resulting from it. While we render
thanks to God for the signal victory which lie
has permitted our armies 10 achieve, we de-

difficulties in the way Of direct and speedy
communication. Although near ten days have
elapsed since the conclusion of the fight, we

life.
