FOR THE WESTERN SUN. To the CITIZENS or INDIANA. Fellow Citizens, THE profpect before us induces belief that erelong we will be called on to difcharge one ot thr molt important duties that freemen rvrr were called on to difcharge ; nothing left, fellow citizens, than the t It ctioti of con vent ion -lifts to form a cct.fiitution to govern us and our pafterity, and give us a rank amor.glt the independent itatrs of the union. A ibte Confitution is, properly fpeaking, the will of a people, clearly exprefl'ed and public kly procLiimd, who wi(h to he admitted into the union as prt of the Federal Compact, marking ou'. for themfelvri and for their p ftctity a certain rule oi Conduct which Ih ill govern on all general and important fuhj-cts hence it becomes neceflfary tht each county or certain dillrict flull choofc from amongft itt citizens certain reprtfrn. taiive heads whofe uutj it (hall be to mett in convention, and then &c there to c:pref the will of their Conftttuents, agreeably to fuch inftru&ionsas thy m-y receive from thofe thi ir ronftituents, and to ai for and on behalf of the people, according to ti e beft of their (kill and underft ndng. on -11 fubjetts whereon they have not ben partt cularly inHrutted.
