yention Of the people, and adopt the
new instrument, without consulting
Congress. The Democrats are now
taking advantage Of this, and are
framing new State Constitutions to
suit their own peculiar views on the
race, school, State Sovereignty, and
other important questions. The dan

growing out of this movement, can
scarcely be overrated, as it indicates
a spirit and the Inauguration Of a
state of affairs that can scarcely fail
of resulting in another rebellion.
