Ii the Constitution is the perfect
instrument its trainers and their
friends claim it to be, why is there
such widespread dissatisfaction .
And why does it not find an advo-
cate among all the papers of the
State !? The fact is, never was an
instrument of the kind so UNIVERSAL
" condemned, and never before did
such a document prove such an utter
failure in so short a time. The whole
instrument bears upon its face the
evidence of a want Of confidence in
the honesty Of the people and a
pandering to the favor of the igno-
rant class of our population. We
notice that the judiciary seems to
occupy, at present, the attention Of
the press; but we think that is by no
means the gravest Of its many faults.
One great objection is that there is
too much of it. The Constitution
Of the United States, which is suffi.
Gent for the government Of this, the
greatest nation on earth, is nothing
to compare, in length, with our State
Constitution. It seems more of a
book OF statutes than an organic law
or q foundation for statutes. There
are too many shalls and shall nots.
