The question of a constitutional con-

The people OF Virginia are, and have al
ways been, a conservative people; they
have borne with commendable patience
the iniquities OF the Underwood Consti-
tuition for more than quarter OF a CEN
fury; but the time has come when they
are ripe for correcting the evils with which
they have been burdened. and only want
an opportunity to give expression "a
their approval of change in the instru-
ment which they have ever held in aver
sion.
Should the present Legislature order
an election next fall on the question OF a
convention. we feel confident that II would
meet with the approval OF the people,
and the majority in favor OF It would be
overwhelming. We fail to see the ad-
vantages Of a longer delay.
