An exchange very truihfully says, "that
the Constitutional Conycntion has been
proposed in the interest Of tho entire peo-
pie Of the State, without regard to race,
color, or previous condition Of poli'ios. =
It is a measure for the common benefit Of
all, and tho majority party in the State
has not had the most remote design Of Sc.
curing for itself any peculiar Constitution
al powers Or privileges, Or Of iu0cliug the
slightest injustice upon any one or any
class Of citizens" But from The time the
Convention was first proposed it has boon
assailed by certain Republicans, (chief am
ong whom are Foreman and Stevenson, who
are bitter partlzans, have been calling it a
Democratic measure, but that docs not
make it so. We know the Republican
newspapers Of the State are making it n.
party question, without any action Of the
party on the question at ALL Wc tried
some time since to have tho Republican
State Executive Committee to assemble
the Republican party in State Convention,
to take action upon and define tue party's
position on the question Of calling con-
.stitutional convention. For this We were
set upon by several Republican papers,
abused, villifcd, and called q traitor to the
Republican party. Then it was, that those
editors arrogatcd to themselves the
right to read us and every other Rcpubli.
can out Of The party, who cvnced dissatis-
faction tho way The. party was acting, or
showed any disposition to support tle con-,
vention call. They have under the guild
ancc Of Stevenson and Borcman (who arc
suHdcicntto damn any party with whom
they acD applied the party lash with
terrible force, but never yet strong euough
to reach us. And, ifthis call for a con.
ycntion is party question, Republican
newspapers have made it SO, and for what
purpose We cannot say. Aud now that
they have made it a Democratic measure,
by their folly, they have secured for it the
vote of hundreds Of Democrats who would
have voted against it, il it had not been
made party question. We now say to
all Democrats, Gas you have no Democrat
lie organ in this county representing your
views, but q Democratic paper represent
ing the interests Of the Radical party that
this question has to some extent been made
q Democratic measure, and therefore it
becomes your duty as Democrats to sus-
tain the call for constitutional reform
convention, by your influence aud your
vote.
Looking at this question from a Repub-
.lican standpoint, we arc uorc fully con-
WINGED Of the great necessity ola Conven-
ton to remodel the present Constitution,
and hence so far as We are concerned, have
determined to support the call for a con-
Tention, party or no party. We hnpo to
sec many Republicans coming up like free
men should, aud casting their votes in "a
vor Of the call for reform eouycgtiou,
and expect every Democrat to vote for it.
Then wake up to the great importance Of
the question now before you. Do your
whole duty, and fear not,

that liver complaint, in all its distress.
Jug forms, can be controlled anu cureu

remedial and restorative operation OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. That gen

l1,ltv. M It must secree regularly and
healthfully under the influence Of the
Rirters. Their action brings 1T back
from a.state of rebellion into perfect har-
mony with the laws Of health. If there
is costiyeness, it disappears; II there Is
side-ache or back-ache, 1t ceases; If the
skin aud the whites of the eyes are ting
ed with superhuous bile, they recover
their natural hue; if the appetite, Is
gone, it returns if the digestion Is im-
paired, it is restored; in brief, whatever
the SYMPTOMS Of the complaint may be,
and whatever the phase it,has assumed,
q cure is certain. Such are the uniform
effects of this preparation where bilious
disease has been already developed but
in cases where there is merely q consti-
tutioual tendency to liver complaint, 1t
may be prevented throughout life by
the regular use, in small quantities, Of
this palatable antidote. These are prov
