prolonged and exclusive attention requisite to
the careful consideration Of the various inpo,-
tant constitutional questions which are claiming
public attention. At first thought, there might
st eln 10 be prorrletY in summoning u cOnsti-
tuJional convention; but The doubt which exists
in some minds as TO the propriety of doing this
without first submitting the question to the
people; the delay which would necessarily
ensue; the great expense Of such convention
the unsatisfactory manner in which so large
bodies, composed in great part of men having
no special qualifications Tor such labor, have
done their work and the fact that the present
constitution needs only partial rather than gem
eral revision, suggests the propriety and wis
dom OF initiating the plan recently SO success
fully adopted in New York, where commission
consisting of small number Of eminent mer
OF both political parties, was authorized to con
slider and frame such amendments as seemeC
desirable, for the action and approval Of the
legislature, and then for submission TO the PEG
pie.
If such q course should be thought advisable
in this State. it would be entirely feasible fol
the legislature, in the early part of the preSen
session, to authorize such commission 10 con
sist Of perhaps ten members. who, with the ait
of the suggestions of the committee on thu
Judiciary and Of the members. of the Legislature
and especially with the light afforded by the re
cent constitutions of other States, could wisely
and satisfactorily agree upon needed amend
ments, in season for the action Of the two house,
before the adjournment, and thus secure the de
csion of the people upon them at an opportunt
time. next September The whole subject il
