THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
ADGCNIESTS PRO AND CON.
I
While we are decidedly in\favor of
the New Constitution, we Print be-.
low several articles givino the views
of different parties on both sides of
the question.
To TELF. ELECTORS OF' BRADFORD CO.
The importance of the , chUnges
proposed in our organic law, by the
constitution to be submitted for your
approval or rejettinn on the 16th
inst., is the sufficient reason why
all should be at the polls on that day.
That instrument iis the work of
some cf the, best minds of both par
ties in, our Common*ealth. While
in some respects deficient„ nothing
huMan is perfect. Besideil, you may,
after its, adoption, eliminate in a_
brief period the Objeticuaable feat
ures. That, it is a great improve
ment-upon the constitution of 1838,
no -careful reader can fait to. agree.
Its restrictions upon corporate and
legislative powers ; the ear&
thrown around the pardoning power;
the additional security against m
prudent appropriations; its wise
protection of the ptiblic moneys; and
the prevention of spe i cial
commend it to the people at large.
The provisions in relation 'to new
counties particularly commend it to
citizens of Bradford County.
We, therefore, urgently call upon
our fellow-citizens to 'rally to the
polls in its support.

ASTLIIII, Dee. 8,1873.
Mn. S. 1V; Ar:vono—Dear Sir ::
carefidly read the new con
stitution, .1-coine forward, to make
an apology - lOr I a casual remark I
made in your 'columns in Sept. last,
in reference to the constitutional can
.vention.
I . Alluding to the undue . proportion
of lawyres in that . body, I said' in
substance that it \ out Id ;out the
year, empty the Treasury, mill proba
•bly male a constitution Which trould
be rejected by the ; people; Ithonght
then that their protracted. sittings,
so needless and expensive, would
create a .disgust in the Minds of the
people that would be unfavorable to
'the adoption of the new Constitution,
whatever
.migh:. be its merits. I think
now that a c4 - .;nvention 'Made up of
business rritn to the extent of -three
fotirths of 4 - 1 - niembers, with a sprink 7
ling of lawyer ripeluditag the - Ildis
ting,uished el-governors and exi-mem
' bets ofd the: legislature 'who were 'in
the body,. 'would have .finished its
labors . - iu • one-half • the . , lime, and .
mar: a constitution free from some,
of the objectional 'features that ap
pear in this. ; • •
When - the people elected one hun- -
dred lawyers to divide their time be
tiVeen the county courts and the con
stitutional convention, they had no
milt to expect a ,short sitting or an
economical arrangement of _their ju
dicial system. Those professional
gentlemen 'have left their impress on
article 5, and if we adopt .the consti
tution;we shall have a splendid ex.-
! parisive judicial system; which will
give official employment to those
lawyers who are ambitions of judi
cial:honors and emolument.: •
•
But as our present- system is un
liAted as to the "numberof judges
or the amount. of salaries,- hot of
which 'have been rapidly increastd,
I find an improvement, in the - new
constitution which' forbids any in
crease or diminution of salary dur
ing a term of office, and: which con
, fines the yay Of judges:to the amount
of their salary alone. • ,
It is in article 3d, however, under
the head of "Legislation,' that 'I
find 'the gems of the new' constitu-;
tion. The . great problem of We day:
Hoy! can a free people under
.repre
senthtive government protect -them
selves against the unfaithfulness. an .:
selfishness of their public servants,
has been most . admirably answered'
is the provisiOni of this, - .article,. and
I . honor the. experience,statesman
ship, wisdom and courage, whether .
of lawyer or layman, that has worked
out the plan.
Special legislation has wrought
more mischief land- confusion than
can well lie estimated. Every Gov
ernor we have had, since I began to
read Governor's messages, has point
ed out the evil and warned the peo
ple tif the dangers flowing therefroin.
There has been a constantly-increas
ing volume from year to year; and
since concentrated wealth and cor
porate power has set up an organized
agency in and about our, legislative
halls, it has become of tenfold more
dangerous character. Legislation
has been sold like some commodity
in trade. Men in the, legislature
have enriched . themselves by this
shameful traffic; and years since we
reached the condition that nothing
of a local or speCial nature was too
! monstrous to.pass,- if backed by en
ergy and funds. Section 7 of thiS
article tears pp this foul
,growth by
the roots, and if it becomes a tart
of our organic law will' destroy the
occupation of that miserable despica
ble class that has brought reproach
upon republican government, by
trading in legislation, and violating
public trust for the sale of private
gain.
The last time Ilooked in upon our
State legislature, in larch, 1872,
near the close of the , session, and
saw its modern machinery in full op
eration—observed the influences that
surrounded and eentroled; may, per
meated, both - bodies—l came away
disgusted and appalled, and was
forced to the • conclusion 'that our
legislature,, as at present eonstituted,
and - with ital)resent powers, is a
dangerous department of the gov
ernment.
There are nuMei,ous '' sections in
.this article designed to destroy well
Irnown abises that sexist' under our
old constitution. I copy section 13
entire: "No law shall qextexid the
nem
time of an Peale piker, oaf bicreitee
or: diminishhis fiddly or emolument
after his, election Or; "ppoin;tanout."
This, if adopted, will in ten years,i
save tha amount which the constitch
tiring convention his cost .the Com+l
minimal* and will relieve us from!
thU present latinnaliatruggkt over
aPS9Priiktion bill, in ` regard to the
salaries of our staved officials! !'
Section 1.5, Restricting the matter!
inthe general appropriation bill; to
~9it t 3
th e ordinary xpennes of .governnient,i,
interest o public debt, and: for
soh h 3, consigning all other
apPropriati ns Weeparate bills em °,
bracing but ono isubject, is a !host
valuable proviaion and in connection;
with section 11, in Article 4, whicl
gives the:Governor 'power-to pnmo,
the appropriation bill, by vetoing any ,
item of which he disapproves, withi
out i destroying the balance of 1 they

of : appropriations tor doubtful ;43b4
jects, and plunge some of the get
begga.4s who have fastened on !the
State Treasury into profound trbu+

,
Section 24 ' Forbids the stealing
(to put it short) of the bonds or oth+
er: obligntions ,beld ,by the State
'against certain'railroads, and will be
notice to the Pa! R.lt. Co. ,to Prof
pare 4 Day her oWn bonds given for

i,
l obect in view.
, I
The recital of the - various eta'op
the part of a member of the Asienli
bly that shall constitute bribery, is
broad and sweeping . ,:and seems dd..
signed to reach eYery imaginable
case;, ;and the r ptthishthent, in case 4f
conaiOtion, of disqualification "from
holding any Office or position ; of hon
or, trust or profit ; in this Oimaniori
wealth," Seems logical, effective ;and
juit. ; The Public! servant whO prove -
untrue to his trust deserves Isuch la
brand; terrible as it is, and should
be foiever shut out from public ern
playa:dent, else by, the free use of hts
ill-gotten gains, and the force-of par-.
ty.drill, he may again reach public
office 4--like some of ;the great thieves
in New York city : i, . , t
There arenumerons provisions to
Article 3 which I have not mentioned
which appear to me of great value '
•
and on a.parefid review of the whole
Article, I would notehoose to strike
out, a single section.l I
Article 4. The ,Eiecutive. I find
nothing in this article to condemn,
and much to approve. The change
in the term of the' Governor frcim
three to four yeais, and his non elig
ibility', to re-electiOnfor the next sne
ceeding term, are, the most notable,
changes so far aS the Governorls
'concerned,-and taken together prona
,
ise improvement. , , I
The addition of a Lieutenant-Gov
ernor;' to preside over the Senate
and to-become Covernor in case ofl a
vaean4 in the office from any cauge,
is a wise preeautionagainst acaicle't,
and enables the pePple to designate
(except in, an extreme case) wo
shall be Governor, instead of leaving
if in the pewer of the. Senate, as it
prese,4 , . t.
I cannot, `within the limits of this
letter,! go over the details Of the
work ; but the new I Constitution -hag
in it E o mach that meets the wants
,of the State—so iiinch that is indis--
pensible to any reform in public al
fairs—that I, for i one, am willing lo
accept it es a great improvement
over the old-constitution, and as the
beit we can get for Some years to
come. I shall vote for itrejoicingi
if it becomes our organic law—that
there is so much in it calculated: , to
strangle " Old Monopoly," and epee,
ble' the people to recover the 'centre]
of the legislative halls - nowein the
hands' of lobbyists and roosters
In : that event; - ' I think these last

where its poiver has not been 'as fully

I
amendments may be made to the

We have but little agitation or in

lie mind such as we often witness on
the eve of important elections ; lint
I venture to say, that the people of
this State have not had since the
war, and will not have for years to
come, 'as important matters befo' e

they will have on the .16th inst. :Let 1

After having exannin the Nfl!W
Constitntion, which is tote subtnit
red to the people for adoption 14n
Tuesday the 16th inst., wish some
care, J desire to state through the
meditun of the TtEroirrEn, some Of
the reasona for its adoption, • which
in ray judgment are of paramount
interest to the people in its fever,
over all objections which— can 1?e
urged against it.'
By some, objection. is raised o
thaincreaied number of members . .)f
the legishAttre, and especially of the
lower Horise. § My experience in-.the
le,gislaturd conVinces hie that this lie
a most wise and salutary provision,
promotive of public - safety, which] if
adopted will prove an obstruction to
the, facility with which pernicious
leff c islatien, may be prOcared through
the legislature as now constitnied.l
As at : present constituted . the
House of Bepwsentatiirefis compos
ed of one hundred; members. A
majority under the miles ii3atquorain:
competent, to sit and legislate for the
State. Twenty-six members voting
in the affirmative; fifty-One members
being present and voting, may under
a call of the yeas and nays pass any
measure within, the present Consti
tutional Waits.'
The Senate as now consfituted,iis
composed of thity•three membeis,
a majority being, ' under the rales a
quorum, seventeen members being
present and voting, nine votes in
the affirmaHve may I pass under ; a
call of the yeas and nays, any meas
ure , within the limits ; of the present
Constitution. 1 •
F;01:112 these factp it' .will be seenby
the most inexperienced observer inf
legialative affairs,' that legislatiOn
which %Jo affect the rights 'and
material - interests Of three and a half
millions-of people. Of the Coniraon
wealth, may be obtained by the affit
mative votes under a call of the yeas
andl.p_ays, of bat dirty-five membets
.utof'the one huidred and thirty.
three, now . comprishiglionibranolies
of the legislature. t ykinie and more
dangerous than this, is the { fact that
under a umsnuluin of the Ades, bills
may be paesed, underwl4and spar,
by merely the reading of Ale 'We
without reference to a Committee,
and. without its second, and third
reading in detail as required by. I the
tales ; and any bill nolY 00 pared
Without a call of the yeas and nays.
Still more dangerous is the fact, that
legislation may be passed 3 ,without a
call of the . yeas' and nays in the
absence of a quorpm; pude* suspen
sion of the tales relating tO,,the read
ing of bills in detail, unleiwit meniber
shall require a call of the rfouse.l
In this manner individnal. rights
are trampled upon and ertished out,
and much of the pernicious jobbery
which diegracesZthe statute' books of
the Commonwealth; and renders Our
legislature a by word and ti reproach,
is procured at Harrisburg.; i' 1
The provisions of the new consti
tution under Article 2d, "The Legis
lature," and under Article $4, "4eg
islation," furnish ample Safeguards
against the dangers above referred
-to and if the people . arty; alive to
their own rights', 'and "dare main

upon other grounds of Miner impert
anee to the people, the eleetors will
turn out enmasse on Tnesd4ythe 16th

Section 16, of Article 2J, provides
that the Senate shall be eemposed of

of the persons toting for and against

and a majority of the rheMbers.elect
ed to eacteHeuse be recorded there
on, as voting in its favor. 7
,Centrasted with the present sys
tete of legisidtion, as above specifi
cally stated, the new constitution, if
adopted, will require the ;affirmative
vote of , 101 members of House
and of 26 munchers of the Senate,
before any bill shall be4ome a law,
and this under a call of the yeas and
nays, end the: vote of , each member
shall be recorded upon the journal.
The ample i security for the rights
of the people in theseprovisions,,is
t
easy of compreheetaon, and should
not be overlooked , by any Citizen who
regards his penonal rights worth
protecting. There can he no shirk
in',a of responsibility on t he part of
the representatives of the people' in
the 127„islature. i
Adopt ,the new constit;utioo, and
members of the logisl4tnre meet
stand or fall upon their .Own merit.
Under the"present conditien of things
the more upright and worthy the
member, the More he is decried and
hounded down by the Ilooby and
their allies who 'hold seats in the
legislature, as oancimpracticable and
worthless legielator. He is unable
to maintain a i'espectablelposition as
a member, and is reported to his
constituents n 5 utterly "inpractica
ble " anduseleFs at Harrisburg, and
they are advised to keep ham at home.
The objectiOns to the Udoption of
the new constitution springs from
three sources. °
Ist. Judges lof the courts, many
'of them, object to the provisions:of
Article 5, " The Judiciary."
2d. Those who object-to the man
ner of voting,ior the numbering of
the Wets. as Prescribed! under Ar
rcle 8; , -'" Saffrage and Elections."
3d. Those , who oppose the restric
tions upon legislation, ;anainry be
cause it enrtalls special; legisLit ion
. and .breaks the power of the lobby.
I impugn the motives of none, but
a careful reading of the ;instrument
will disclose the reasons Whinh give
rise to the objections, and it aloes ap
pear that theypartake mre'of a pri- -
tate of personal nature than other
wise. r t
1 The provisions for the I protcction
of purity of this ballot-baN. are emi
nently wise and just. ThOse, coupled
with the restrictions upbu
tion, should (tarry the"constitution
against every Other objection.
Ample provision is furpished for
,correcting; by future amendment,
any require.ment of the now constitti
tion.which, upon trial, mcf,y be found
to work injuriciusly.
• If dm people remain silent now,
and will not seize the opportunity to
correct, by voting for the, new con
stitution, the (abuses of Which they
have so long justly; comphiined, and
break the power of the lobby at Har,
risbirg for obtaining corrupt'
tion for special purposes, and of cor-,
recting the abtise of the elective fran
chise in the "large cities,: let them
hereafter hold their peace,iand stiffer
without complaint. Giro us puie
elections and pure legislation, and
then, with ,the judiciary inure, the
rights of the people are safe.
The conflict ofauthortti, growing
out of the manner - proscribed hy the
convention for; holdinr , e thb' 'electi . bn
in the city of Philadelphia,! which ig
nores the Board of Aldermen, as the
supervisors of the registry and of the

but ,this is not necessarily , fatal to

A stfescuincti requests US to cory,
the following article from the Beaver
fiadicai and Argus, on the; new con
stitution:
SPou.r.ri SiIdItETRY. The excuse
given by those of ,the ..delegates to
the noistitutionel Exmvention, who
have!a little shautelift, Sr their fail
ure to sitbmit - separate proPttsitions
to a Septirste vote, is that such eetiou
would mar the symmetry at the..lloW
instrument.; There are those to
wha that symmetry is hard to find;
and. , who:consider it a oroolmd, etiff;
'distort humpbacked, --epalqued;
halting, limping production, as , ever
w,pc presented to the gaze of an
telligent people. 1 But assuming for
this I once that it is, beautiful and
syml cal as young Eve, fresh
1 • etri
fromiher Creator's hand, how much
will this supernatural splendor and
syintneti7 be Marred by 'knocking
out that provittion which deprives .
the People of Pennsylvania of a free
ballot? How mach will it be marred
by striking out ;the , tudiciary article
tinder which a little clique of Phila
delphia politicians in each party have
already elected the next two judges
of tht) Supreme Court, and enacting
the doctrine that the people shall
choose their jtidges, ;and that the
majority shall rpletl, How will it be
marred by striking -orit the, cumula
tive *ote (which, as - applied to , bor
ough* the people of the State titian=
imoasly spewed out last , winter) in
corporate elections? Why will it be
marred, if in the legislative article,
the doctrine of fathers is restored,
that till citizens shall be represented , -
equally, and that stricken out which
in effect disfranchises a hundred
thoniand voters; giving a represen
tative to 4000 people 'in Forest, and
none, to 17,000 in Lancaster? Why
would it be marred by making the
tax article so clear and unambiguous
that it should cease to be the subject
of a 'different interpretation by eve
ry country lawyer? Why would it
be marred by a repeal of the narrow
and illiberal restrictions placed upon
the charity of the State? 'Why
would it be marred by erasing the
childish provision againet the issue
of freo passes, and sale of discounted
tickets by our railroad corporations'?
In short, why should it be marred 'by
.knocking out alt the stuff, and ob
scurities, and ineffable meanness,
and !giving'-the people what they

of our •structure of government—elect one by a

not only depriving the voter of one of his dearest

Tho manner of its submission as a whole,

Tao onlY reason that I can see whi'the instrument
was sabinitted in the present manner,, was because.
that moat of its objectioimble features were giie •
to it bi a few worn out politicians, who "ha g
anealed'" into the . Conrnitem within:it a vote of
the people, and havihg succeeded in 4 taUting". the
members ofithe Convention into adopting some of.
their thCeadbisre hobbies, hoped to force the people
into adopting them also. in- order that they, the
people, Might secure the benefits of the good points
of the document. of which I am free to Confess
there are many.
Eirsru. , It will cost less to reject the proposed
Constitution, thus referring it; back to the Ocmven-
Con, who can strike frotki t what are generally de.
dared RS objectionable features, and again submit
it; th p to adopt it and'seven years hence pay the
expensei of another ceurention.
In conclusion, permit me to refer your readers to
Section D of Article %IV for: , a: contradiction of the
widely circulated 'allemition that 111 county officers
will be salaried under the New Constitution: The
Section referred to simply salaries ofileora,of coun
ties having ' a population of, 150,000. Bradford
county licks nearly 100,000 st the reqUired amount
in order to participate in the benefits which must
inevitably accrue to the people who ar e erected by
the provisions of the Section named. And perMit
me also to urge upon the voters of Bradford Coun
