STATE CONVENTION.

Senator Thomas, Of Fairfax, has introduc-
ed resolution favoring submitting to the
people, IN November next, the question of
Convention to amend the present Constitu-
ton.
We regard this movement as premature.
That there are features of the Constitution
which shoald be dispensed with, no one, we
presume, will deny. The material which Gre
atcd it, and the circumstances Of its adoption,
were of such character as to carry with
them imper fiction. The wonder is that the
defects are not greater and more fragrant than
they are. But the machinery of govern
mcnt under which we are operating has not
sufficiently developed its faults, and therefore
pointed uuerripgly to the needed remedy. Fur
Their, the popular mind is not toned down and
settled TO degree that new excitement
could be borne without eztravasauce, and a
campaign inaugurated for the purpose Of
changing the fundamental law of the State,
without affecting, unpropitiously, our materi-
al interests. The people of Virginia want
quiet, at least for while Nothing would
SO seriously operate against immigration, and
the influx of capital. as the widespread COM
motion incident to the excitement of move
meut to uproot and tear to pieces the organ
10 law. We can gain nothing by haste. Let
every feature of the Constitution be fairly
tested-let Time work out the impcrfections
and above all, let the period for another
Convention be postponed until the selection
Of delegates can bo made from oil of our cit
liens. Amnesty cannot long be delayed
And, when another Convention is convened
let the fold for selecting those who are, to re
model the Constitution be as wide as possible
Another objection to Senator Thomas res.
olution is, that in November we will be in
the midst Of heated and exasporated Pres
idential contest. The people would be in nc
| frame of mind to calmly consider the ncces-
sary reforms, which the delegates elect would
have to carry out In the hurly -burly of a
Presidential excitement, the qualifications Of
candidates for the Convention, would very
likely be overlooked, and persons might be
elected who could not grapple with the ques-
tons inseparable from the RETAINING of the
organic law of the State
Fer these reasons and others that might
be mentioned, we regard the proposition OF
Senator Thomas as inopportune, and hope
The Legislature will have the good sense to
pass it BY, and go vigorously to work, dispo-
sing of such questions as the State and the
people point to as indispensable. Too much
time has already been consumed in the con-
sideration of subjects of secondary importance
When the proper time comes, we expect
to favor tie assembling Of Convention to re-
form the present Constitution. But we should
know precisely what reforms are necessary.
Every change is not REFORM
