"A secessionist," says u cotempurary, "is
one' w ho withdraws or separates himself from
the constitution and the union. He may or
may not take up arms against those who
maintain the authority of the former and the
integrity of the latter. To nonstitute a seces-
sionist, it is enough thnt his position is one of
hostility to uud repudiation of the eonstilu-
tion. und the union formed under it." How
many abolitionists ran escape this classifica
tion? They ui't? -'Ti tho record ol thirty y?ari--figliting

"I will never acquiesce in any warfare upon
the constitutional rights or institutions of the
iouth," said Mr. liouglus, in his address be-
fore the legislature ol this state, a little mure
than a yeur ago. ll any uttenipt is made to
invade their rights, or incite insurrection
among them, I would be the first to rush
to their rescue." The duly of respecting
the constitution, and all rights under it, wan
! tlifCui'Jinal principle of Mr. Doughs' demo-
entry. It is nut strung'. 'hen, tlmt democrats,
in this hour of nut ionul danger, ure w illing

selves firmly upon a platform to preserve the

Mr. Lincoln once laid in congress that
"Any people, anywhere, being inclined, and
having the power, have the. rijjht to riso up
and bhako off the existing government, and
farm another one that suit them better;"
that "Any portion of Mieh people that can
may revolutionize, and make their own of ,
much of the territory an they inhabit."
These sentiments were popular wan anon-
tionists when the; were crmteniphitiiig a re.
hellion uguinl the federal g-ver !iit : but
if a democrat attacks the unconstitutional,
destructive and wicked schemes of abolition
ists, their mode of dotenee is to call all such
"secessionists," "traitors," Ac. To cull names
is a resort when argument fails.

get back none of either by rejecting it, but,
if it is reully better than the old, only waste
all by so doing. We cannot thereby even ef

ity, devotcdness mid independence ot the
Judges, by providing compensation adequate
therefor, (which is not honestly possible under
the old j yet not subject to change during their
term of office ; that provision is also made
for an infrease of force hereafter on the su
preme bench, which tho' not sufficient, in my
opinion, is better than none, as we now have.
1 further rcllcctthat .something like the county
court, ngailrd which so much is objected, was
necessary in orde to reduce the number of
circuits, and that it. is sum-tinned by the exper-
I o nce ol oilier suites, and will lie more or less
Useful according to the character of its judg
es, for which the people themselves will be
wholly responsible. I see no reason to doubt
that the public interest will be better cared
lor by county than by district attorneys, and
u lie to b ar that it w ill be found, upon a full
st ii t .-i n oi it of ilu.. account, to cost any more.
These arc the main features of the instru
ment, mid upon their character would proba
bly depend tin' action of 'Im people. Hut as
to the remaining and minor articles, where
changes ,,r additions are uiude, the same gen
eral observation applies with equal force
Thus the additions to the article on revenue,
j contemplate an increase of the resources of
j the s:tc, by e.yti ndilig the capitation tax to
I in in-vnicrs, an 1 by a new subject of taxation,
! the circulation of hunksgreater uniformity
nun economy in meir Collection and greater
security for a faithful rice; lint of them. The
les provided for amending the constitution I
: arc the same, except that the ncht ol the!
j ,,e t ...is, upon the labors of their ret, re- !
seutatives in convention, doubted under the J
present is '. rcssly asserted and secured by j
the new. But further illustration is uniiec- I
es-ary.
There are certainly, to my mind, some for- I
cible objections to the proposed amendments. 1
So lorciblc indeed that I have been ton trood !
degree indifferent to their fate but they ure
not those which have been most strenuously!
urged by the opponents of the new cotistitu-
tion. I do not believe that the cost of gov- 1
eminent under it will be greater than under j
the present constitution, certainly not more 1
so than the growth ol the state since 1n!7
would require much less in many hems, and I
more in those, ulnicst exclusively, iu which i
it ought to la iu which greater liberality!
will he the truer economy.
Nor do I sec in it any secession, tuillifica
tion. or even stati
rights, beyond what is
wholesome aud familiar.
1 do see too much legislation, in the ordi
nury sense ot the term by far too much t,,
suit my views. iXotlnng which is m its na
ture mutter of policy and subject to effect of
, . . . .. , . . ,

This, because ol the nature of the work, and

illy, w hen in addition to that Coti-

lv (J..tpncd. 1 have itnuiglit ol that, lint
lny experience and observation of this, leads
me to fear as much as to hope from another
soon to be culled, if mother should be. The
most disastrous influences in this grew out of
party spirit. Outward circumstances are not
likely s ooii to be better citlcuhited to restrain
and counteract it. A new convention, equal
ly partisan, whichever
way tne uiajoiuy
might be, would led proably do better. I
would have been glad if the hue convention
had adjourned for ' j'W months, in order to
get un expression from the people in refer
ence to whut seemed then to be the chief
points of danger, but not utoil parties every
where should be reorganized and antagonist

ence, especially of the first, and therefore
roughest working of the new constitution, will
not only not interfere with that hope, but will
enlighten us for action if it shall he realized
and another convention called. The expense
will not embarrass the iiucstinn of u new con
vention, after the adoption of the amendments
now proposed, because what has been incur
red is past remedy, whether they be adopted
or rejected.
For the reasons above hastily and general
ly indicated, I am unable to justify myself iu
opposition to the new c iiistituti in, notwith
standing the disappointment which I freely
confess in the result, of the deliberations of the
convention, and the probability, as now ap
pears, that the majority of my political friends
will not concur with me.
Respectfully yours. (ir.o. W. Pleasants.
