A correspondent observes, it is a circumstance much to the honor of Connecticut, that we are the first State in the Union, who, having received the new Constitution in the regular channel, have coolly and deliberately, without any disturbance or commotion, taken the proper measures for calling a State Convention, and determining upon the new plan of Government. The Convention are to meet for the most important purpose that can command the attention of any people. The question they are to resolve is no less than this: Shall Union render us respectable and happy, or shall discord and division make us weak, contemptible and wretched? For resolving this important question, those ought to be appointed whose tried abilities and integrity entitle them to the full confidence of the people.
