Constitutional Convention.
The Walla Walla Statesman, heretofore bitterly opposed to the Constitutional Convention, gracefully comes down as follows:
The Oregonian has a favorable notice of the constitutional convention now in session in this city, and says the convention is proceeding with intelligence and prudence, and is carefully laying the foundations of a good constitution. This commendation we deem deserved. Since our return from California, we have carefully observed the proceedings of the convention, and thus far we have seen nothing to which we except. Many of the propositions as reported from the committees are excellent, and if they become part of the fundamental law of the land will secure for the people the benefits of good government. The influences that called the convention into existence were not such as we could approve, but the members of the body seem to have risen above these influences, and are laboring faithfully to frame a wise and good constitution.
