Says the Colfax Gazette: Should the
constitution, submitted for your approval,
not be to your liking, would it not be
better to adopt it and trust to the legi~l,
ture to amend, than to reject it and trl,i
the same body to another? Perfection is
not required: neither is it expected,
The constitution is not an unalterable

pilation Of legal enactments sufficient for
the present and subject to amendment as
