veloping proportions that have created
widespread alarm in the ranks Of the Of.
dce. holding wing ofthe Republican party
They canuot make the GRANTEES believe
any longer that this movement is Of 40 i'm.
portance. The movement which was first
SET on foot in Mason county in The year in
1869. spread over West Virginia, and 80

control Of the State was wrested from tho

the action ofour State was followed, and
Missouri was released from tho chains Of

That the Cincinnati Convention will be
one Of the most numerously attended polit-

it will embody the intelligence, wisdom

be su,h as to command the cooperation Of

In this issue We complete tho publica-
ton Of the new Constitution. We hope
our readers will give the constitution a
thorough examination, so that each and
every one may be enabled to vote without
bias or prejudice on this all-impor.ant
matter; and it might be well to preserve
the copies we furnish, for future reference.
Its gratifying to know that the pro-
posed constitution is meeting With great
favor 10 Mason county and throughout the
State. Men Of all parties seem to look
upon it as a model and a vast improvement
over the present constitution. II is true,
that some End objections to certain proyis.
ions 10 the instrument. but this is to be
expected; but as whole they look upon
it as worthy Of ratification. Let every
one examine and criticise the proposed
constitution as he will, he will 6nd it very
nearly perfect. as much so as could be ex.
pccted. We are pleased to believe that
Mason county will give large majority
in favor Of its ratification, notwthstaud.
ing its adoption is opposed by the Mason
County Journal, under its new manage
mcut. The Jowaal does not oppose its
adoption from principle, but because the
majority OF the members OF the Convention
which framed it we're Democrats. Let the
voter remember, that the journal is no
longer under the editorial management Of
Mr.. Howard, but that it is owned and con-
trolled by GrautRadicals. We say this
much, that the reader may not be mis)ead
by its articles against the ratification Of
the new Constitution.

The County Courts.

The Radicals who, for lack Of anything
else to complain Of 10 the new Constitution,
are endeavorlug to create opposition tt 1t by
reason of It's restoration Vi the County
Court system" forget that each county is
at liberty to consult its own INCLINATION as
regards that feature OF the judicial p!an.-
A large majority Of the counties III the
State prefer the County Court aud will
probably iud it cheaper aud III every re-
spec. uore satisfactory THAI tue present

others, however, that prefer different sys-

Gle prescrlbes that the Legislature shalt up
on proper application, provide system that
shall couform to the wishes Of the county
or counties desiring u different mode Of
county government No confusion will
necessarily result from this, for the new
courts thus created will simply take the
place OF the County Court; will have lhe
