Convention.—The grand jury of Rutherford have presented the existing mode of representation as grievously injurious to the people of that county. They recommend to the citizens of North Carolina to use every means in their power to urge the propriety of calling a convention for the purpose of amending the constitution of the state. Let all the counties which are interested in the accomplishment of this measure take the same, or similar means to make their sentiments known, and there is little doubt but the result will be favourable to the cause of liberty. The voice of the people must be heard—it will not be disregarded.
