THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

Those who oppose this new Constitution
upon some such aimsy ground as that it con-
tains Homestead provision, should remember
that we can get no other, except by the follow
ing tedious process:
1st The Legislature would have to pass
law providing for an election throughout the
State, at which the people would be called
upon to vote for or against Constitutional
Convention.
2ndly. Having voted for Convention it
would then be necessary to elect members
thereto. This Convention would of course be
an expense to the State while framing the
Constitution-each member receiving from
$500 to $500 per diem. After framing the
Constitution the people would then have to
ratify it, just as we arc going to ratify our
new one on next Thursday. We would havo
to have three elections, besides mourning the
expense of another Convention.
Surely when we consider the many wise and
benifcent provisions of our new Constitution,
its superiority over the old, its protection from
tests oaths which the first Legislature that
thinks proper to do So, may now impose, NO
liberal man, whether Democratic- Conserva-
tive, or Republican, will cast his vote against
IT, If the people defeat the Constitution on
Thursday next, they will have thrown away
ahs troubleof three elections, aud the cost of a
Constitutional Convention, and run the risk
Of having ths present Constitution saddled
npsa them for years. Turn out then ON
fhursday next. one and all, and CASE your
vesss for the new constitutional

CARD.
HARprn's FERRY, Angus. 16, 1872.


Editor of Spirit of Jefferson
SIR-The official account of the Mass
Meeting recently held in Charlestown, in
your paper of the 18th, states, that opposed
the homestead law, aud that I gave it as my
cessary, Allow me to say, that did neither
the one thing or the other; and am utterly
at loss to know, how what I so plainly said,
could have been SO misconstrued.
indeed discussed the morality of homes
stead laws generally. But, admitting the
soundness of the policy of such provisions,
and reminding the audience, that for four or
five years, and until by accident or design, it
had been left out of the code, we had had
such a law in this State, suggested that the
next Legislature should reinstate it, and arr
gued that since they had that power-as they
have-a new Constitution was not necessary.
In reference to test-oaths my yiews-yiews
that had been given expression to more than
once, in the Spirit Of Jefferson, in by gone
years, when those oaths were operative-were
stated with equal plainness. I will not ask
you to insert at length what my language was;
but repeat portion of it, when 1 say, that
in my nature there is nothing proscriptive ;
and that no man in this State prayed more
earnestly, or endeavored more strenuously
than did, for the repeal of the uncharitable,
impolitic and odious oaths in question
The errors, which I-complain of, are no
doubt, due to haste and inadvertence am
too we'll assured of the personal friendship on
the one hand, and of the integrity of char
acter, on the other, of Mr.. Moore, the Secre-
tary, to permit me to come to any other con.
clusion. Yours truly,
CuAprrs D.pyre

RADICAL CONVENTION.
More VillainyI

A1Radieal Convention was held at Harper's Fer.
- on Friday afternoon last. We learn from good
adthority, at which tho following candidates were
Rsminated:
Fsr thu Senate-John W. Grantham.
For The House Of Deitgatss-John W. Kennedy;
Fer Circuit Citrk-Wm. A. Chapline.
For Proceeding 1dttorney-Geo. NJ. Beltzhooyer.
II was also resolved to appoint . committee to
Inquire into theexpediency of securing the appoint
Aent of United States Commissioners to superin-
fend tho election in Charlestown township.
Nothing shows more fully the deep determine
sion of the Radicals to achieve success in the com.
Ing election, and the utter reckessness with which
they win employ any means to accomplish their
purposes, than the above resolution "to ENQUIRE in.
TO the e1pediency" of having U. s. Commissioners
of election appointed for Chsrlestown township
The word "eIpediency'' lie very significant. As We
understand il it means that if the Radical capdi-
dates, and the opponents to the Constitution gen.
orally, make tolerable it will be erpedient
70 call in U. s. Commissioners to mi.eount the
party into power. We hope the Democrats Con-
sentative party will present such an unbroken front
on the 22d, that the Commissioners, If appointed, ,
will find it nexpediont to tsmper with the ballots.
N.B.-Since the above wns in typo we have re-
eeived Card from John w. Grantham, Esq. which
may be found in another column.
We stop the press, in justice to John W. Ken.
nedy, Esq., to give place to tho following

Col. John S. Hoffman,

AS the above named gentleman, the can
didase for Judge of the Court of Appeals
from this Congressional District, is unknown
to the majority of our readers, we copy the
following extract from the Parkersburg Ga
sette of April 2Sd, prior to the meeting of the
State Convention
Of all the prospective candidates, whose
names have been mentioned, we know ofnone
more worthy and wellqualifed, than Col.
John S. Hoffman, of Clarksburg. To a de-
gree rarely equallcd, he possesses the peculiar
qualities necessary to the exercise OF judicial
functions. Endowed by nature with a mind
OF high order, at once deep, comprehensive
and discriminating, he has improved every
opportunity to cultivate it by careful and Ia.
borious study. With him, the midnight
oip is no myth or poetical fancy, but hard,
solid practical fact evincing itself in his rip,
ened powers and progressive thought.
Among The legal profession, there is but
one opinion respecting him-he is by all ex-
toled as the possessor of master mind. And
In the path of literary culture and the smeui-
t'es OF social life, he is too we'll known to re-
ceive praises at our hands.

under our new Constitution we may adopt the

tions, or retain the present system of Super
yisors just as the people may think best.
