10 order to win for the Constitution
st the polls We do not pretend to say,
but it is very clear that unless the
people Of the State had felt assured
the party had pledged itself, and
would stand by that pledge, the Cor
vention question would have been
defeated ut the polls on May last.
The leaders of the Democracy, it is
presumed, know best what is for the
interest Of their party, but they will
fad that If the new Constitution is
not submitted TO the people, and the
whole people, the old party will be
called upon to pass over the roekiest
road that i, has done since the days
Of RssdJusterism. Platforms may
not be made to stand upon-as evi-
denced by placards in railway cars
but the political party which deserts
It's own train must sooner or later take
s side track.
