A Convention.

Ne have lately met several Of the Rep

Legislature. They are unanimously e the
opinion that it will hr the duty of the
next Legislature tn drvnte hut litil'. time

thought that only such bills as arc Of ali
s"lut- necessity 10 the State should I've
passed. smell n general appropriation
bill, and perhaps one or two others. After
this il done a constitutional convention
should at once lie called and the Legisla-
turr adjourn: not however, until United

These views WEI are pleased to find so
unanimous among the Legislators The
sense Of the people is clearly for q consti-
tutional convention, aud the Representa-
tivcs of the people show their apprrcia-
