“NO CONVENTION.”
When llio Constitution of our state is sought
to ho altered, it is the duty of every freeman to
weigh well tlio benefits which may result from
tho proposed alteration, and also considor the
evils which may arise. The citizens of this
State have long lived under the present consti
tution, and lived happily and contentedly—<
Representatives (or Senators)therefrom, would
make this unequality greater, perhaps—and
centainly an increase of tho Representative ra
tio would have that effect.
