\vhieh "Shm" speaks, would receive its at tehtion ;-and that it was not until this doubt itas ovrcnne, and public opinion had settled down into the belief that its power wcre limiled, that the Legislature passed the Act giving it existence. Indeed, for the very reason, that the powers of this Convention were express ly "limited" and "specified," the Court of Appeals in the cases we have above alluded to, set aside the "TEST A1u," that had been imposed by the Legislature in obedience to its mandate, upon all military Oflicers of the State, and declared it to be uncontstitutinil! Chancellor Jonssos, in delivering the opinion of the Court, expressly maintained, that the peoplo had the power, to exact the oath in question, whenever they chosed to exercise it, (which was afterwards accordingly lone by an amendment to the Constitution,) but denying that the Convention, which had only SeCIFIED FoWERS, could confer such authori ty upon. th'e Legislature. And Chancellor HARPER, in his dissenting opinion on the same occasion, although yielding an impor tant point contended for, by the counsel for the Relators, expressly afirmted, "that the people may, if they will, elect delegates for a particular purpcse without conferring upon them all their authority." " To deny this," shid he, " would be to detract from the pow er of the people, and to impose on themn a most inconvenient and dangerous disability." Now it is true, that the authority of the Legislature when convened by the Executive on an extraordinary occasion and for a spei fled purpose, would not be restricted to the consideration of the specific matter submitted to them. But this arises from the fact, that the members of the Legislature are elected by the people for the general purposes of Legislation, and a co-ordinate authority can not restrict or limit their power. Not so with a Convention ;-its powers have not been thus fixed and defined by the Constitution, and it is for the people or their constituted agents, to limit and define them. There nev er has been a Convention called within our remembrance, in this or any other State. whose purposes were not more or less spe eific, and whose powers were not consequent ly limited. The Convention for instance that was called to adopt the Federal Constitution, was limited to the consideration of that ques tion alone; and had they thought proper to form a constitution of their own for the gov ernment of the State, would not this have been an act of- usurpation, which the people would .not have recognized? Clearly so. That a, Convention may exist, representing the whole of the sovereignty of the people we do not pretend to doubt. But that such will be the character of the one that will meet in 1852, we moa' - -intedly denv.

It will only re presentthetr;"sovereign wil," for a speritie and definite purpose, and with fixed and limni ted powers-which purp1ose has been defined, and whosQepywers have been determined, by the Act authorizing its convocation. -Having, now, we trust, clearly shown, tha't the Convention will possess nto sneh piow~er as -" SYDncEY" elaims for it: and timct to elect a "DeTATOR," or disturb the Comnproi.t of 18(18, would be a manifest uisurpanion of power on its part; and further, that the peo' ple have a TRIBUNAL that would declare sneh acSt NUGEToIY and ntot J3!NDING UI'oN T I CN. all the objections that have been urged by him to the Bill, must fall to the ground ; and with them, we hope, all hiis opposition, if lie have any, to the measure itself.
