There are some who write, talk,
and think, so much about vice
and virtue, that they have no time
to practise, either the one or the
other. They die with less sin to
answer for than some others, be-
cause they have been too busy in
disputing auout the origin of it,
to commit it; and with little or no
religion Of their own, from their
constant though unavailing ASST
duties to settle that of ether men.

CONSTITUTIONAL convention.
Last winter the General Assembly
Of this State passed an act submitting
TO the people the question whether
we should have constitutional con-
vention 70 amend and revise tho
tonstitution Of the State. By our
present Constitution IL Is contompla-
ted though not obligatory upon tho
Legislature TO submit this question to
the people at the commencement Of
every decade, and hencs. il was 90
done last winter. We are satisfied,
however, that It was ut the same
time notthe sentiment ofany CON.
siderable portion Of the Legislature
that the Convention was necessary
and we are clearly Of the opinion
that no occasion has arisen since the
passage Of the law submitting the
question that calls for revision Of
our Constitution. Though, tits prob
able, that in some minor particulars,
our present Constitution might be-
improved, we do not think them OF
such importance ~ to incur the ex-,
pense Of Convention, and at the
same time the risk Of having our or
ganio law made even worse than Il
now is. We see no need of Con-
stitutional Convention, and therefore
hope that our readers win oppose IL
at the election this fall.
