The Constitutional Convention An!
How,

nVns
.Siuce our last Legislature proved a
complete abortion, and instead Of en-
acting measures Of reform, actually
played into the bands of the lottery
and other rings. while seeking t" ap-
prase The wrath of the people by sub
mi,tiu, to their vote, at the next cleo.

stilution which do not touch the vital,
points aud bring us the REFORMS s"
impcratively demanded. the Flank
lin Enterprise. edited by a. c, Allen,
Esq. Il talented young lawyer, has
made proposition looking t" Il re-
lief of the people of the State which
deserves attention. His proposition
is this That the people all over the
State, refrain from voting for the pro-
posed amendments, bnt ''instead
thereof, vote directly for C"nven-
ton, and at the same time elect their
delegates.' He adds land it the
people adopt this plan in every par
ish, there is no power on earth that
can thwart their will thus expressed"
While this mode of proceeding might
be considered somewhat irregular,
ye, as the people ale sovereign, and
as the whole fabric Of government
rests upon ''constnf of the governed,
we have no doubt Of the happy ter
mination of Snch course. There
fore. we shall give it our support,
and hope every Democratic and Con
serva'ive journal i" the State will d"
the same. Let no man be nominated
for the Legislature who in advance,
will not pledge himself to favor the
calling of il Constitutional C"nven
ton, to enable ia t" get rid of the
monopolies which are ruling and ru-
lining Loui>iana.-La Sugar Bo'rl.
The Monroe Observer suggested the
above mode Of calling the Convention
last winter; the indicator and Qua
chita Telegraph warmly endorsed it,
while a number of sheets, with an
arctic sterility of brains and a trop.
ical fertility of CAB, proceeded to de.
bounce us as fool for our pains
while they showed themselves the
ass in so doing.
We endorsed the plan then, and
we endorse it now, as the correct
mode to be pursued when the "pow
ers' attempt and do thwart the de
mands of the people.
