The Constitutional Convention.

Politicians Of both political parties
in the State are chuckling over the
probability Of holding Constitutional
Convention. The late platforms, of
both parties endorse the calling Of a
convention and in this particular alone
do they agree. All other features of
these two platforms are Numerically
opposed to each other. So We may
conclude that the conventional plank
will carry at the August election. The
people have at last found out that to
not vote is to vote against the Con-
yention, thatit requires majority of
the entire vote OF the state to carry
the point. We have, opposed the
move from the very outset. We have
honestly believed that there is no i'm
mediate need Tor a new constitution.
We have been convinced that all con-
ventions are unweildly, and to great
extent rash. We have known that a
constitutional convention would be
composed of no better material than
an average Legislature and that log
rolling, villainy and jobbery is gener-
ally lurking around its Hobbies, No
one denies the existence Of dead letters
in our constitution; but what do they
amount to? Do not the courts remedy
all such features when occasion de-
mands it? Do not the people of Ken
lucky enjoy perfect liberty and justice
under our present constitution? What
matters it how the constitution stands
with reference to slavery! Is itnot
known that higher authority altered
the force Of that chapter ! What
earthly difference does it make that
the constitution is imperative on such
triaing points Precedent in our courts
is all sufficient to protect the State and
to administer justice to all. Do you
not know that for centuries England,
from where we got the foundation of
all our laws, lived only under I'M
written law, precedents aud tradition
al law governing the decisions Of
courts. But do not understand US to
say that any great harm is sure to
come from a Constitutional Con-
yontion. This is to be tested Of course.
Wisdom may prevail. But we do
say that the probability is it will not.
Certain men will DO there to advocate
certain measures detrimental to sec
tions other than their own. chickering's
discord, deviltry and disgust will
stalk rampant and the probability is
tbatthe Democratic party in the state
will lose many votes from this cause.
Why not delay making new consti-
tuition for the State until the National
Democracy is out Of the woodsY But
tits too late now. We shall vote for
