T he Editor Of The Tilbsne:


You have molly advocated the Convention bill
now happily law. The work thus well begun is
vet to be finished, and not the hall is done. The
People are tosay whether the Convention TO reform
the Constitution shall convene, and 10 induce them
to speak against it will be the strenuous effort of
many, both Wing and Loco, who, whatever they
profess are real enemies to the rights of The People:
dislike 10 trust them and wish 10 have the mass
subservlrnti0 10 the lew


The reasons. therefore for the Convention must
be widely spread, aud constantly and strongly urged
Your labor, therefore, IN this good Cause OF the
People Is but Just begun. That some aid from cor
respondents can be given you, you will admit
will therefore present few reasons why the reform
proposed should be- attempted


Membership IN any society should be and usu-
ally * we'll defined in IT'S Constitution. Bui this is
not so IN Stale Constitution 1t does not define
what makes citizen. or.what citizen is, that
Is. what makes member.


, All members oi society formed fer mu-
tual benefit and equal benefit Of all should have
equal privileges and bear equal burdens. This
l. not the tact IN our social society under our
State Constitution. Ii requires part and not
all 10 have a property qualification IN order Ia
vote for us officers. 1t gives 10 part, but not TO
all, eligibility 10 office. 1t exempts a part from
burdens both of taxes and duties which il imposes
on Others These, Mr.. Tribune, are great bemlshes
and very strong reasons tor Convention TO reform
the Constitutional Constitution which in most
flagraa violation Of the true principles Of liberty,
has respect persons in lis privileges and duties
while every member should have the same right to
VOTE TO De voted for, and 10 share in The advantages
OF the society or Stale. The colored man Can NOT
vote unless worth S250 the Clergy cannot be voted
for for any Office. Many classesar exempted from
Militia dates, Jury duties and other burdens, and
the Clergy froEl taxation. If there were no other
reasons. here enough and thousand fold strong
ct than necessary TO demand Convention. For
one am ashamed and lndignan, TO be compelled 10
live under government which does not give equal
rights, privileges and burdens TO all More in my
next. Yours, Equal RIGHTS.
