The object fthc convention is to wipe
from the present constitution all clauses
that have semblance of partizanism about
them. The people oftLis State have had
some sad experience III some Of the legisla-
ton under the present constitution. They
do not want constitution that provides for
a registration law, if a dominant party de-
sires it. They have seen enough of regis
tration laws in this State, They do not
wish to have constitution that can be
construed so as to give the right to pass
test oaths. No, they do not want this,
aud will therefore, vote for the Conyca-

fart. VII, sec. 6, Constitution Of West
Virginia
The Greenbricr JoO1al in discussing
this section Of the Constitution says, some
Of The opponents Of the Convention, in the
exercise Of their futile imaginations to find
or create objections to a Convention, asscr
that one Of the principal objects which the
friends Of the Convention have in view is
to incorporate into the Constitution pro.
vision authorizing the Legislature to aid
internal improvement companies. This
view is about rs truthful as Stevenson's
estimate of The cost Of a Convention, which
will hereafter serve TO illustrate all that is
most reckless and extrayagant.
The above clause Of the constitution is
one Of the best protectors of our organic
law, and one which q convention would
ccrtainlyrctain in substance il not in terms.
So powerful have many Of the great rail-
road companies of the country become,
aud 50 regardless are they Of the rightsan
interests Of the people, that they can only
be restrained by constitutional inhlbitlons.
However pure tho Legislature of the State
may be for the future, we do not desire to
see j. subjected to the temptations to cor
ruptiou, which might represented by some
railroad king.
Whilst We arc in favor of encouraging
the construction Of all the works Of inter-
nal Improvement which have been project.
cd in the State, it is not we'll to do so by
the companies 10 expect pccu'
mary aid from the treasury of the State.
Whilst i, may not be matter for The
consideration of a convention, it seems to
US that it would be the part Of wisdom to
have general railroad law in the State,
under which companies could be organized
10 construct their roads where they pleas
ID, without applying to- the Legislature
fora charter. Such a law would put q
stop to great deal Of log-rolling, would
save much time to the Legislature, aud
much money to the State. Several Of the
States have already derived great benefit
from having such law

Remember, that a constitutional con-
ycution will decrease your taxes, by doing
away with the large number Of Offices now
provided for under the present constitution
will inspire the people to renewed act'v-
ity; will encourage manufactures; will in
ducc immigration to our State; will secure
to the newly cnfranchiscd citizens beyond
doubt, their right to vote, Then it is
the duty Of every voter, without regard to
party, to use lis utmost influence to
carry the convention on the Fourth Thurs,
day in this month

The following resolution was recently
adopted at o meeting Of the Convention
friends held at NIartiusburg, Berkeley
county. It.shows how absurd arc the i'm
masiuations OF the opponents of a Con-
vcntion, when they assert that one of
the great objects of the Convention is to
provide in the constitution for State aid to
railroads, &c. People arc not fools en-
ough to believe such stuff Every consid-
Grafton Of prudence demands that the prin-
ciplc Of the present Constitution on this
question shall remain intact. The scntl-
ment Of the people is fully represented in
the resolution here given:
"Rcslvel, Wcarc unalterably opposed
to any change or modification in that article
| in our existing constitution which forbids
the Legislature to contract a public debt
for purposes Of internal Improvement, or
to guarantee the liabilities Of counties, cit
les aud corporations. We believe that the
history Of the country has incontestably
shown for the last half century that this is
power which cannot be safely lodged III
any State Legislature. Fortunately, the
exercise of such power is at this time as
unnecessary as it would be fraught with
evil; for such is the accumulation Of surp'
lus capital now in this country that if any
scheme of internal improvement worthy Of
State enterprise can be presented cxhibi-
ting fair and profitable results, it can,
without difficulty, be accomplished by
means Of private capital, as, indeed, every
important road already made and now ma
king in this State is being done through
private capital"

Governor Stanton said in speech at
Wheeling last week, that written coustitu-
