Mr.. TOWNSEND, one of the Repre-
seuiativeS of this county, stated very
clearly The position of the people in
regard TO the question of Il Constitu-
tional Convention, when he said that
he believed he was sent to the Legis-
lature especially with a view to pro-
mote The passage of bill inviting the
assemblage Of such a body at an early
day. lie said that he was satisfied he
was the choice Of the people Of Mem
phis, because they preferred him to all
others of the few that were available;
but be little doubted that if their
choice was not restricted to the "avail-
ablcs,' another man would have been
sent in his place. In order, there
fore, he continued, to do away
with the "availlbles," in order to
make all available, in order to restore
to all the people the rights Of which
they have been robbed by Radical
legislators, he heartily supports, as do
all the representatives OF Shelby, the
House bin calling a Convention Of the
people to assemble on the second Mon
day in January. TOWNSEND, JONES
and CUHBINs are with the great body
Of their fellOw-citizens in this matter.
They realize the Importance and ne
cessity for a Convention, and will
neither be guided nor controlled by
the gentleman who defeated Mr..
JOHNSON, and who now turns his back
upon the people at a moment when
they had supposed they were to find
in hip one of their truest friends.
They know the law is plain as to the
right Of OH the people to assemble
in Convention; to annul, abolish, alter
or amend their form Of government,
as TO them may seem best. They
know that the people hoped, strug-
eled and labOred for a Convention,
above all things, and they feel that,
foiled in this, they lose all and are
thrown for two years longer into the
in which they have battled so
nObly with Radicalism. Oar repre-
sentatives are alive to the importance
Of the Convention, are sensible Of
their obligations to the people, and we
hope and believe will, in common
all the true men of the House
and Senate who have c~o-Operated
them in the progress of the Con-
vcntion Bill, work without ceasing
until it has become law in the shape
and form every word a. it passed the
House. Less than this viii not satisfy
The people. We warn Senators in
time; we ask them to be careful of
what they say and do. We urge them
% give heed 10 the call Of the people,
