The STATE CoNvESTIox.-W We congratulate our
readers, and indeed the whole community, upon
the passage of the great measure OF CONSTITUTIONAL
REVISION AND REFORM. Much credit is due 10 those
members of the Legislature, of both parties, who
have s,eadiastly and perseverngly advocated the
adoption OF the bill which finally became law,
despite the sinister and selfish influences employed
TO deicatit It's ratification by the people may BE-
calculated upon, with the utmost certainty, by an
Overwhelming majority. lpdeed we doubt wheth-
cr the Albany Regency will dare 10 renew their
hoslities to this measure before the popular tribu-
nal If they do, they may look for a vote OF ten
fifteen thousand against them III OnondaSa, TO be-
GIN with.


We are the more gratitied with the passage Of
this bill. from the fact that at the commencement
of the discussion on the subject ot Convention,
this paper assumed strong and determined ground
IN It's favor. We have been all alon. deeply I'M
pressed with lis importance and wisdom; and II Is
a source Of much satisfaction tU witness lis nal
success over the doubts and fears OF some, and tic
Interested opposition OF others We are among
those who believe in the Progressive Spirit OF the
Age, aud in the Intelligence and Virtue of the Peo-
pie, and their Capacity 10 provide for their wants
and security. This nation was not launched into
existence like Minerva, with full and mature
powers, but is growing ans must continue 10
grow IN all things towards the perfection OF civil
and physical development The present Constl-
tuition was perhaps a very liberal. al least sllta-
bic one, al the time o lis adoption, but the internal
expansion has created new pressure at various
points. and the whole structure is evidently susccp
lible OF Improvement.
