THE resolution offered in the Louisi-
ana Convention that "no legislative
body hereafter, in General Assembly,
shall have power to amend or annul
any article of this Constitution; nor
shall they have the right TO cali another
Convention in this State before period
of seventy years" touches the apex Of
absurdity. As well might an engineer
rivot down his safety-valve and ''re-
solve" that his boiler should not eX-
plodr. Nothing is more silly (>illiest of
all in America than for any legisa-
tive body to attempt to bind the hands
Of its successors. 1t is very well TO, the
present generation in Louisiana or else.
where to make rules for itself; but do
they suppose they can discount and dis
pose of the Wills Of generations to come?
The surest way to invite an explosion
which will rend their work asunder, is to
attempt to makeit irrevocable. The long
cr ahead the time set for amendment"
the speedier will that explosion come.
In America, we have no laws of Medes
