From the MOunusNulo No1Aos
The Constitutional Convention, 30
called, which was organized and man
ouvered by the rebeltraitor. Democratic
party Of this State, has brought disgrace
| to the human intellect and instincts,
and q burning dishonor to common
sense and virtue. There is not one law
enacted by that body that was prompt
ed by any other purpose than that
which would emanate from the bitterest
| foe of the Republic during the late ter
rible war which every man, woman and
child feels to day in bis very bones, as
cause for resort to arms, and crush the
tyrauts into the bottomless pit Of hell.
We challenge the Democratic press
or leaders to point out one provision in
the Constitution they have framed,
that is of advantage TO the well being
or general interest Of the majority. In
other words, they have broken down
the institutions for which our fore!athers
fought, and built up a virtual monarchy,
which not only letters the hands Of free
men, but totally breaks their limbs
asunder. We have begged, and beseech.
| ed, and plead for the honest, hard-
working aud free white men OF this
country, but all to no avail. We have
not been alone. The Republican papers
and public men throughout the State,
| have strained every nerve 10 its utmost
tension for the preservation OF the prln-
ciples of liberty and universal freedom.
But the enemy-wbo is an enemy
with murderer written upon his fore
ead-has thus far terrorized over US
90 long that nearly every one seemed
ready to 90 to the devil and be done
with it. Truth and, honor, and Justice,
and intelligence, and knowledge, and
4 manly worth, and heroic fortitude have
been abused and terrorizad over by an
atmosphere saturated with the lowest
dregs of the devilish hatred and malice
of the Cursed traitors that destroyed

and cast so many widows in mourn

name OF God what do our law maker

f legislation only shows that the men o.

and laws under which we are nov
living, cared no more 70, what is nea
