but upon a doubt of my ability to do jus
tice to the great subject. I heartily agree
with your: committeethat there is no kitties- ,
lion , now before • the people •of this State
more important than the changes to be made
in our Constitution."
`11.1 , 4 fact that the people have declared for
a convention by a popular majority of about
two hundred and fifty thousand votes, may
be accepted-as an unmistakable declaration
that they are in - earnest, and That very cid , -
7en is expected' to do'his ditty: 'Ev6.ashould
I fail to 'accomplish _what others might have
done,, or what might, under more favorable
circumstances, be reasonably expected -of ,
myself, yet I hope, through the kind aid of
your associationott least to attract the at
tention Of others to the grave issues and du
ties before us; to' QXCitC „discuisiott_ reilee

niately towis.e conclugiOns` and aetion,-;-...,
Ifenee I am here to, cOntribute my mite-into
the common treasury of knowledge ; indulg
ing the•fond hope that many others may be
found wild out of 'Wolf - great treasures will
cast in more abundantly.
"In American constitutional law the word
Con(ftutioirk used in a restricted, sense,;
implying the written instrument agreed tip,
on I ,ey the peopleot:itlieji,nidno or' of any ottelDf'tlielgtatts,` its the - aliaotufe rule of tie,:

officers of the Government, in,respect total
he pdiht§ eoVered by it, until it shall:be
changed by the authority which established
it,-and in, opposition to whielranract. or
rule of any department or officer of the
.G.Q - Verothent,.or. even-of-the: people -them
selVes, will be altogether void."
In this discussion we have nothing ,tb do
Witlf the Cori§tituirgii of the 'United States,
except to bear in mind its superior authority
-as to all powers and jurisclietiOir elinferred
by it; and what is written must be construed
as applicable only to the , C-onstitutionof the
State, unless otherwise expressed. - •
Long ago our wise and patriotiolorefath
ers laid the strong - pOlEticalonnaeltoes_of
our Comnionwealth- upon the grand !arid'
fundamental principles 'of- equality and - .ins:
t ``. Virtue, Liberty ; - and Independence."-
By the- Constittition, 'they "diStributed the
powers of the Governmentinto three bran
ches,--:thelegislative, the executive, and the•
judicial. It is not now - proposed, ; as I Ihn
derataird-it,. to destroy or .rein•Ovb.:.llieseran-,
cleat landmarks, to re-organize our Govern.;
inent,,qr i topull clown and rikeonstruct .our
social &bile; but rather to 'strenthen ',the
old fmindations, to fortify against external.
violence' nd internal distraction, to irhpose
further restraints„upop ~onr,s9Aves and our
agents, ;arid utilizeatidiadorn the noble
structure in every part. Under this view of
the situat ion, whilst keeping in remembrance
est ablialied-elententary - pridelPles, we Mai !
safely. dispense with all profound dikplist
tions upon the science of abstract govern
ment, or the philosophy of, republicanism,
and accept and build upon that Wise System
of organic jaw . which we-inherited as Our
birtlfrlght ;- Making only such alterations and
improvements as time, experience, advanced:
intelligence, and expansion .have made ne
cessary. We know by both observation and
experience that every alteration is not Kati
amendment, nor every change an improve- -
meat. " Prove all things, hold fast that
which is good,". is en apostolic injunction,
as sound in constitutional law as theology.
'Our people are slaVto move for radical re
forms, mind are apt to manifest but little pa
tience or respect for those who clamor for
reform generally, but who . are unable to
point Opt clearly existing evils, and plausi
hle,rethedies for their correction. We live
in a practical and- utilitarian' age, and in
the nature of things, the people being the
source of all political power, the govern
ment `of the people, the people, and
for the people," must conform. to and einhos
•tiy the popular ideas, sentiments, and coif : ,
victions, In the vegetable, Mineral, and an ;
laud kingdoms growth and development are
gradual. In our-every day, life the greatest
.amount of happiness results from a proper
- performance of a multitude of small ditties),
and so, I apprehend, it -will be found that.
the areatesr'praeticargtiod, and the best:
constitutional' reform, _war result from a
number of whiternaprittighr, cOnsi4r, sep
arately viewed, a's. comparatively - small
amendments. 'rime man-who will do nosh=
mg until the opportunity to do something - ,
great occurs, may wait all :his life • in-vain;
whilst he who does with diligence whatso
ever his hand findeth to_do,-may-accontplish_
much. This spirit actuated those who pre-:
ceded us, and - •in - wisdom - Ive may follow
their example.
-
The first ConstittitiOn _of. the State was.
adopted in 17160 i.: Vas aniCinTed In . 1790,
and again by tlie - Convention of 1888. Since
then more than thirty years bre' elaPied;
and in that period no less than seventeen

The particular day on which the' legisla
tive term should begin and end is Of secon
dary importance; loot w,ould• suggest the
Tr:legal' next after the election. In this age
13f , mails and telegraphs one week would en
able•all:neee3sary returns to be made, and
the representatives last chosen hhould. be the-
only ones thereafter to meet and act. •
IX. pur . Constitutiqa should provide dif
ferent regulations forfilling vacancies in the
'Legislature.' •
All• intention td` Cast retlec
tions,on any.person or party; it Must be con
fessed our present. Constitution- does not
li . 'cirlesiitisfactorily in this particular. For
example and Illustration, take the Fourth
SenatoriaUdistriet, in this city :of Philedel
phhx..- The Hon. George - Connell died in
,Ottol?Pr lest, nfterthe election of that Month,
Ong creatiog . a yagancy. This death was
Ytblicly known at the time, .and ever, since,
to' every intelligent person in the State,. and
-yet_ncepractleal steps were taken tbtvard fill:
ieg l ttic vacancy, so created until the meeting
of thelegialature,.more than two months
-afterivard. AS:a consequence, the people of
one-fourth of yotir lattecity were unrepre
sented in the State Senate' for a Whole Mon th:
OA 14e-third 'of . an .average-session, and • the,
.g eat principle_ . republican representative
gVerriniefit„ so ter 4 9 that istriet w %as con
cerited,' were a practical failure. The same
thing has occurred, and may occiir" again`
, any day; bathe:. House of Representatives.
There Is no necessity or reason for this dep
rivation of equal rights; ,at least none which
cermet be remedied by en amendment to our
organic law,. requiring the etectiens in such
cases to he• called by the Speaker of the
Senate, /*House, as the case may be, or, as
in other. State's, by- I the Governor, within a
fixed nember of :cloys After the decease of
-tile member, or the occurrence of the va
cancy. Ten days is suggested 'as reasona
,ble. To wait until the meeting of the Leg-
Ishiture to get official notice of the death or
vikancy, is sacrificing substance to form,
and depriving the district of its rightful rep-,
resentation on a Mere question of etiquette. •
,X; A. different mode should' be provided
forthoosing the Speaker or presiding officer
of the Senate. This part of the, machinery
tif, our' Government works badly„ and, is in
great need of radical' amendthent or thor
magi,: repairs.. In 18114 the Senate remained
unorganized for almost two months for want
of a iipgaker, and during the present session
, we . 'narrowly, escaped a similar calrunity. , ---
Observation and costly experience have deta
enstrated 'that 'whenever 'from this or any
other cause the two branches of the egis
-lattnv arelunable to progress with'the public
linshiess, it,is,a,public misfortune. Inflamed
party excf4entents and; conflicts. are apt to
ensue, prejudicial to ..the public interests;
encl.:Whatever Laken 'off one end of the
session- is :sure to ihe added to the other;
thus prolonging therduration and greatly in
-creasing the ever:lolot the session, with
no Compensatory public good. Surely the
wisdom not this age is more than adequate to
;tile ,correction of so puipable arid utitialtigli4
ted au evil. .! •
XL The qualifications of electors should
he changed in two particulars •,
' I. The rights of citizens being no longer
dependent on color, the word 'white' should
he stricken from the qualifications of elect-'
ors, in conformity with the Constitution and
latvs of the United States, which are." the
supreme law of the, land, * * anything
in'the Coriatitutiori or - laws of any State to
.the :contrary notwithstlinding." Our State
has already approver] We amendments to the
Constitution. of this United States which
'Make the word inoperativeAn, this connee
tion, and we owe it to the progres , iive spirit
of - liberty to discard the qualification as a
useless-relic. eta bygone age. '
2. instead of residence within the elec
tion district for ten days preceding the elec
-tiutl,',a9 not* prescribed, thirty days should
:be' required. • Neither' the Constitution of
1770 nor of 1790 prescribes any definite pe
