A Boston paper of last Thursday says:-
It is not doubted, says a correspondent, but the tradesmen and mechanics of this town, will exercise that wisdom, prudence and caution, they have hitherto been remarked for, in their choice of members, for the ensuing convention;
As it must be supposed, they are sensible of the importance of a free discussion, of every paragraph of the proposed Constitution.-
For this purpose it is necessary to chuse such men as are nationally, and not altogether personally interested, in its adoption.-
The supreme judiciary court, being so great an object with a certain "order," it is trusting too far to their private virtues, to ask the decision of a question, on which depends the future liberties of America.
