in the City.


Permit me to address you few lines from the
city of Mounds, if for other purpose than to con-
vince you that It's Inhabitants not asleep, but
wide awake Yesterday an election took place for
Delegates TO the Convention, which is to meet next
fall for the revision of our present constitution. We
have out grown the one under which we are now
governed and the abuses to which II gives risc par
ticuary as respects representation Hperatively re-
qure the substitution Of another more IN accordance
with the spirit of the age. There were bur two
tickets in this county, the native and democrat
The former elected five, the latter but one. This
result has been produced by the great apathy of the
democrats, the total indifference of the wings,
(proper) and the bullying conduct of the natives
We have abroad had an insight into their schemes.
A great many have joined them in the belief that
they are not at all connected with their brethren of
the East but they act too much like them, and are
reading too closely in their footsteps to be able to
deceive the people much longer. At the last April
election for city officers, they obtained voice In the
Board of Aldermen, and carried nine out OF twelve
members of the Board OF Delegates. What has
been the result Sessions Of the City Council with
out end-long speeches without meaning, and much
stir, but little done. There can be no doubt in the
mind of any intelligent observer that theirs is the
party all of whose Influences shall be for the rch.
1t may for short time succeed, but 1t is surely des
tined to speedy and certain destruction. My own
opinion is that no change will be made respecting
slavery.


know it has been industriously circulated that
one of the objects which induced the people to vote
for a convention was, that some clause might be In
serted to procure the gradual abolition OF our slavery
system. AT the present moment It Is out of the
question, now that we know that there is in our
midst secret agents with no other avocation than to
entice slaves from their masters, and regular lines
formed between this and Canada TO aid them In their
escape all of our good feeling, if ever has any,
have been changed. There is a feeling of resent
ment pervading every class of the community at the
oficious intermedlIng OF Abolltlonlsts IN matters
that concern ourselves alone, which foretells of
coming storms. If one OF those agents should be
caught depend upon it he would be too charitaby
dealt with to permit him to see lawyer or to de-
pend upon the uncertainties OF the law, but he
would have justice meeted out to him without fear,
favor, partalty from that eccentric old gentleman,
