It is time that the Conservative men of
this aud every other county in the State were
waking mp to the importance of the question
to be voted upon on the 9th inst. The ap-
parent apathy that pervades many localities
where the friends of the Convention are
largely iu the majority must be shaken off,
If the Convention is beaten, (says the Wheel
ing Re9ister,) that result will be substantially
a Radical triumph, aud will be so claimed
1t will alSo indicate the probability of the
election Of Radical Legislature next faIl.-
A Radical Legislature under the present Con-
stitutiOn and having the Courts under its con.
troll, will inevitably restore the disfranchise-
ments aud all the OdiOus legislation of the
past. The defeat of the Convention will be
the entering wedge to restoration Of the old
order Of things, the re.enactment of the test.
Oaths, the prescription of citizens, the tyran-
ny of the Registrars and the whole catalogue
Ofiniquities from which the State was freed bv
the Democratic victory last year. Can you,
dare you entrust that party with power again.
before the Constitution is so amended as to
render forever impossible repetition of the
abuses of the past
This Convention is necessary to perfect and
complete the work so glOriously begun last
year. We cannot safely halt aud leave the
task unfinished. All that has been already
won may be lost by apathy and neglect now.
We dont desire to make partisan Constitu-
tion we do not wish the organic law to
guarantee to the Democratic party any adj
vantage over its opponent; but We desire to
have the Constitution so amended that no DO
litical party, whether Democratic, Republican
or otherwise, may ever have power to iufiict
upon the people such outrages as those which
have darkeDed the past history of the State.
The present Constitution is u continual menace
to the liberties of the people. 1t offers no
barrier against party rage; interposes no
shield against oppression. With the Legis>
lature aud the Courts in Radical hands, the
rights OF no citizen are safe
Then let Democrats take hold Of the CAM
Paign in earnest Talk to your neighbors aud
show them the importance of obtaining some
safeguard against the re.enactment of the
registration law and the test Oaths. Show
them that they cannot afford to let the Con-
vention be defeated through their negligence;
that i they do not desire to set the State
back to ito political condition Of two or three
years ago, they must rally to the polls on the
24lh OF August and vote for Convention to
revise the Constitution Of the State.

JEFrEnsoN's LAST HoURs.-Of the death
of Thomas Jefferson, Hurpcrs Mogqsins for
August, has the following:
His parting interview with his family. on
the I'd of July, was calri and composed. He
told his daughter that in an old pocket book
IN certain drawer she would find something
intended foF her. This proved to be these
few lines OF verse, composed by himself:

seemed somewhat bewildered. George ,"
said the old patriarch, '.dOes not understand

been said, Jefferson murmured, slowly but au
dibly, those words which have murmured
through mems hearts for eighteen centuries ::
"Lord, now lettest Thou thy servant depArt in

A Miserable Trick.

In their desperate attenps to defeat the
call for Convention, some OF the Iladca!
leaders are circulating the story that none but
registered voters will be allowed to cas-. their
ballots at the Convention election. Registsation
is dead and these people are trying to scare the
voters with its ghost. They well know that
all those who have been disfranchised by the
registration law andLhe Amendment of 1866,
are now as much entitled to vote rs any other
citizen. The day when test oaths and pro,
scriptioh prevented the exercise of mems
rights has passed away. Under Democratic
government every man, be he "rebel" OF
loyal" has right to be heard at the ballot
box, and those who are trying to produce a
contrary impression, merely proclaim their
own TOrthlesness aud desperation.
