yers Has to Say on it.

yers Has to Say oni t.
EDITOR TIMEs:-The proposed consti-
tutionsl convention is ono OF those
movements, which, taken at its present
flood tide, will lead the Democratic
party on to continued usefulness and
power, and ignored will invite a long
train of calamities upon both party and
State. The conservatives are beginning
to sound that note OF warning, which,
II needed, will be so fruitful OF fatal
consequences. The party in this State
should remember the ruin caused by
the misguided and divided counsels Of
the national Democracy. The senti-
ment OF the people as portrayed in the
change In our fundamental law. and un.
less the Democratic party speedily re-
spends to this demand, it will be en-
forced through some other agency.
There is widespread dissatisfac. zion
among our people at the heavy and use
less burdens entailed upon them by
motley gathering ofnegroes and carpet
bsggers as the price of readmittance
into the union, who framed our organic
Law, and the legislature has not heark-
ened to the sound OF weeping ard la
mentation in Kamsh, nor, 20 do i.
justice, hampered by constitutions
restrictions, could 1t have accomplished
more than an amelioration of some OF
the most fragrant deiecss Of our system.
When every Southern State has thrown
off the constitution forced upon it by
tho reconstruction acts of Congress;
when it has been demonstrated re-.
peatedly that our State and country
are far in excess Of tho requirements
Of we'll administered government;
when the Democratic party has again
and sgain pledged itself to tho refor-
nation OF this ins.rument when our
people cry 'oud for change and relief,
how does 1t como to pass thst few
conservatives are in danger OF wooing
the party to everlasting ruin with tho
specious poa that this Is not the &C
ceptod time.
The party even now totters on the
brink Of q precipice, and, If 1t lets this
harvest pass, it can find no forgiveness
at the hands OF q devoted people, whose
material interests have been sacrificed
ct the dictation OF short-sighted poll.
ticiaDs. In an ideal state Of eociety the
constitution should be formed by repre-
sentatives Of every party in proportion
to its numerical strength, but that i'd ca
being abandoned as Utopian. let us
earnestly etrive to obtain the best
results through the party that repre-
sents rine-tenths of the culture and
wealth of the State, remembering that
If 1t is weighed in the balance and found
wanting, the reform will still be Effected
through the one tenth. ~"

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE.
Selling American Wooden Goods in Brad
Mford-England's Manufacturing Centre.

Washington, March 7.-American
woolen manufactures, according to a
report received by the State Department
today from Consul Meeker, at Bradford,
are being sold at a profit in the greatest
woolen market in England. The consul
finds that representative of an Ameri-
can mercantile esabli shment now in
England. is buying English cloth of a
certain grade to sell in the United
States, aud is selling American cloth
in Great Britain. A Bradford merchant
showed the consul samples Of American
wooden cloth suitable for mems cloth
ing, purchased for SO and 60 cents a yard.
The Bradford expert stated that the goods
were of superior grace, being made OF
short wool, and he was astonished that
they could be produced in America and
sold at so low figure.
The New York visitor stated that he
had placed orders for goods in Glasgow
and Aberdeen, and expected to sell them
in London. Consul Meeker, who will
continue his investigation of the matter,
says that if the facts are as represented,
the prediction made upon the passage of
the Wilson bill, that owing to the ad-
vantage given American manufacturers
by free wool, their goods would be sell
ing in Bradford, the wooden manufacture
ing centre of the world. in six months,
has been more than realized.
