Legislature of Kentucky.
Proceedings of the Senate at the last General Assembly, of the state of Kentucky on the subject of passing a law to authorize the people of this state to vote, or express their wishes for a Convention—with the papers and documents relating thereto.
Published by order of the Senate.
In Senate, Thursday January 4th, 1798.
THE secretary of state having laid before the senate an abstract of returns of votes given at the last general election, respecting a convention, which appeared to the senate to be very imperfect: they came to a resolution "directing the secretary to employ expressis, to send to the several sheriffs, from whom consistent returns had not been already obtained, and procure from them, if possible, before the thirtieth of this month, complete returns of voters for representatives, at the elections for the year 1797, in their respective counties, and also of the number of those who voted for, & of those who voted against a convention, and of the number of votes received, in which the voter did not declare himself either for or against a convention."
This resolution being sent for concurrence to the house of representatives, was negatived by that house; whereupon the senate on the 18th of January 1798, came to a similar resolution, and the secretary was directed to lay the returns which should be made to him by the sheriffs before the senate, on Monday the 29th of January, then next ensuing.
MONDAY, January 29, 1798.
The speaker laid before the senate, a letter from the secretary, covering returns from several sheriffs, pursuant to the resolution of the senate of the 18th inst. accompanied with an abstract, in which some deficiencies existing in the former abstract were supplied by the returns aforesaid, and they were ordered to be committed to a committee of the whole, on the state of the commonwealth.
On motion: The senate resolved itself into a committee of the whole house on the state of the commonwealth, and after some time spent therein, Mr. Knox reported several resolutions, which were read and adopted as followeth:
Resolved , That it is the opinion of this committee, that the imperfect state of the returns of the sheriffs of the several counties in this state, of votes respecting a convention, ought to be supplied in the best manner now practicable, from oral testimony, and from more complete returns which have been obtained from some of the sheriffs, by the secretary, pursuant to a resolution of the senate to that effect.
Resolved , That the abstract of returns, last laid before the senate, by the secretary, be entered on the journal of this house, and that the clerk be directed to make out a complete return from the said journal and abstract of the whole number of electors voting for representatives, and of the whole number of those voting for a convention, and lay the same together with an extract from the journal, of the whole proceedings of this committee, before the house of representatives, for their information, and that he fill up the imperfect return from the county of Mercer, with 1000, in the column of "total number" and 58 in the column "for a convention;" in the county of Logan, with 350 "total number;" in the county of Greene with 406 "total number;" in the county of Harrison, with 500 "total number" and 72 "for a convention;" and in the county of Lincoln, with 500 "total number."
Resolved , That the minutes of the testimony of the several persons who have been examined before this committee, concerning the votes in their respective counties for representatives & for & against a convention, be entered on the journal, as followeth, viz.
From Mercer, William M'Dowel, (senator) declares that he heard from some officer of the election, in the said county, that 58 votes were for a convention, and from the state of the polls which he saw, thinks that about 1000 were the whole number voting for representatives.
Robert Mosby, (sworn) deposed, that from the best information he could obtain, between 50 and 60 voted for a convention, and that the
whole number of voters were upwards 1000; thinks he heard this from the clerk of the election; heard it from several others; thinks he saw a state of the polls, which corroborated this information.
Garrard Darling, (sworn) was at the election, understood from the clerk of the election that the whole number of voters was between 1000 & 1100; perfectly remembers that 58 was the amount of votes for a convention.
From Logan, Robert Ewing, (representative) does not remember the whole number; probably, between 350 and 400.
From Greene, Robert Allen, (representative) precisely 406, were the total number of voters; no votes for or against a convention.
From Harrison, Benjamin Harrison, (representative) thinks the whole number of voters were about 500; about 70, or 75, voted for and against a convention, and two or three of that number only against a convention.
From Lincoln, James Logan, (representative) the whole number of voters were about 500; he got himself, as representative, 457, and lost forty odd.
William Whitley, (representative) knew nothing of the election.
Joseph Welsh, (representative) knew nothing of the election.
From Mason, Thomas Forman, (representative) totally ignorant respecting the votes in his county.
Alexander K. Marshall (representative) thinks the whole number of voters, was between 8 and 900, and that between 250 and 300 of those voted for a convention.
Michael Cassidy, (representative) heard that the whole number of voters were between 8 and 900, and that between 3 and 400 voted for a convention.
Joseph Deshay (representative) the whole number of voters were nearly 900; 140 or 150 against a convention, and odds of 300 for a convention.
Philemon Thomas, (representative) was present when the votes were counted; remembers perfectly that upwards of 800 was the total number; thinks that about 180, not full 200 voted for a convention, and about 140 against it.
George Stockton, (sworn) believes that the whole number was between 7 and 800; for a convention, between 3 and 400, perhaps 320.
Thomas Dobbins, sheriff, (sworn) 800 was the total number of votes; 300 for calling a convention, and 100 against it.
Resolved , That it be entered on the journal that the representatives from Mercer were requested to appear before the committee to give information respecting the vote in said county, and that one member declined attending, another was in the chair in committee of the whole, and the rest absent.
The abstract of returns from the secretary, mentioned in the second resolution, and ordered to be entered on the journal of this house, as follows:

"To Harry Toulmin Esq."
January 31st, 1798.
Sir, I received your letter, dated the 30th of this inst. calling on me for the number of votes, for and against a convention. It is not in my power to make you so accurate a return as might be necessary, though as near as my memory serves me, I will report 300 the number of votes for a convention; 52 the number of voters against a convention; 455 the total votes given at the election. I received a couple of letters before, but never in my power to make you a return before this, of any kind whatever, because I never could get a list of the polls from the clerk before this morning, and that of great certainty.
I am Sir, your obedient servant. This is to certify that I saw Mr. Hinkston write the above, and he delivered it to me.

JAMES ANDERSON, shff. Mad. cy. The clerk was ordered to carry the said returns to the house of representatives for their consideration.
A message was announced from the house of representatives. Mr Breckenridge brought up for the concurrence of the senate, a bill entitled "an act to enable the citizens of this state to vote for calling a convention," which was read by unanimous order the first & second times and ordered to be committed to a committee of the whole on the state of the commonwealth.
A Bill aforesaid was in the words following.
§ 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly that the sheriffs of the several counties within this state, shall, one month previous to the time of holding elections for representatives in the present year, advertise at the court-house door of their respective
counties, that a poll will be opened to take the votes of all those who choose to vote for [20r against] calling a convention, to amend the constitution by writing on their ballots "convention" [30r "no convention."] And the said sheriffs shall on each day of the election make the same known at the court-house door, immediately preceding the opening of the polls.
§ 2. On counting the ballots the judges shall particularly note down the number voting for [52r against] calling a convention, [slikewise those who are silent,] and the sheriff shall make return thereof accordingly to the secretary for the time being before the next session of assembly; and any sheriff who shall refuse or neglect to comply with the duties hereby enjoined them, shall forfeit and pay 500 dollars to be recovered on motion of the auditor, and collected and accounted for in like manner as other penalties to which delinquent sheriffs are liable.
§ 3. The clerk of the house of representatives shall furnish the public printer with a copy of this act, immediately after its passage and such printer shall publish the same five weeks successively in his public Gazette.
Note. The words included in brackets, [ ] are intended to shew the reader the amendments proposed by the senate. Figure 2, answers to the amendment proposed to section 1, line 5th—3, to line 7th—4, to section 2, line 1st—5 to line 2. See the following proceedings of Saturday Feb. 3d, with which they agree.
SATURDAY, February 3d, 1798.
On motion: the senate resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the commonwealth, and after some time spent therein Mr. Knox reported that the committee had according to order had under consideration the bill entitled "an act to enable the citizens of this state to vote for calling a convention," and had gone through the same and made several amendments thereto, which were twice severally read as followeth, viz:
Insert the following before the first clause of the bill, by way of preamble. 1st. "Whereas doubts have arisen from the imperfect returns made by the sheriffs for the several counties in this state whether a majority of the citizens voting for representatives did vote for a convention, and altho' from the testimony adduced before the senate, and the sheriffs returns, it does not appear that a majority of the citizens voting for representatives voted for a convention; yet in order that the good people of this commonwealth may have an opportunity of expressing their wishes on this subject, and as it is expressly provided by the constitution "that if it shall appear upon the ballot of either year, that a majority of the citizens voting for representatives is not in favor of a convention being called, it shall not be done until two thirds of both branches of the legislature shall deem it expedient," and as a ballot taken at the next general election may serve as information to the next legislature as to the propriety of calling a convention.
2d. 1st, line 5th after the the word "for" strike out the words "or against."
3d. Line 7th after the word "or" strike out the words "no convention."
4th § 2d, At the end of the first line insert "whole number of voters voting for representatives, also the whole."
5th. Same section, line 2d, strike out the words "and against," also in the same line, after the word "convention" strike out the words "likewise those who are silent."
Upon the question for the senate's agreeing with the committee of the whole in the first amendment, it was moved by Mr. Campbell, seconded by Mr. Bedinger, to amend the said amendment by inserting, in the 9th line thereof, after the word "convention" the following clause "And whereas if the silent votes had not been added to the votes against a convention, yet if they had been divided equally to those who voted for and against a convention, a great majority would have been in favor of calling a convention; as also would have been the case if the silent votes had been rejected." It passed in the negative. The yeas and nays being called for by Mr. Campbell, seconded by Mr. Bedinger, were as followeth:
YEAS—Mess. Bedinger and Campbell. NAYS—Mess. Alexander, Clay, Curd,
* Mr. Campbell's amendment, marked thus† was intended to come in here.

Helm, Knox, Machir, M'Dowel, Stan- ford, Taylor and Walton.
A motion was then made by Mr. Alexander, seconded by Mr. Walton, that in the 9th line, of the said first amendment after the word "convention" the following clause be inserted as an amendment thereto, to wit: "whereby the general assembly of this state cannot constitutionally proceed to order another ballot to be taken under that clause of the constitution which directed the first." It passed in the affirmative. The yeas and nays being called for by Mr. Alexander, seconded by Mr. Walton, they were as follows:
YEAS—Messrs. Alexander, Curd, Helm, Knox, Machir, M'Dowel, Taylor and Walton.
NAYS—Messrs. Bedinger, Campbell, Clay and Standford.
On motion: the question was then taken that the senate agree to the said first amendment as amended and with the committee in the rest of the amendments. It passed in the affirmative. The yeas and nays being called for on this question by Mr. Clay, seconded by Mr. Bedinger, they were as follows:
YEAS—Messrs. Alexander, Curd, Helm, Knox, Machir, M'Dowel, Taylor and Walton.
NAYS—Messrs. Bedinger, Campbell, Clay and Standford.
The bill was then ordered to be read a third time with the amendments; and it being read accordingly, and the question taken on the passage thereof with the amendments. The yeas and nays were called for on that question by Mr. Clay, seconded by Mr. Alexander, and were
YEAS—Messrs. Bedinger, Campbell, Clay, Curd, Helm, Knox, Machir, Standford, Taylor and Walton.
NAYS—Messrs. Alexander & M'Dowel.
MONDAY, February 5th, 1798. A message was received from the house of representatives informing the senate that they disagreed to the senate's amendments to the convention bill. The message was ordered to lie for consideration.

YOUNG LADIES' ACADEMY.
IN conformity to the wishes and solicitations of several gentlemen of respectability, the subscriber proposes to establish an institution in Lexington, called the YOUNG LADIES ACADEMY, for the purpose of conferring the degrees of a classical education; — wherein will be accurately taught, Orthography, Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geography, Composition, and other branches of useful and ornamental literature.
The subscriber conceives that any eulogium upon the importance and utility of female education, would be to arraign the discernment of the public, who are competent judges of the incalculable benefits resulting from an institution of this nature, when conducted upon proper principles; being intended as well to inculcate the important precepts of virtue, and science as to prevent an indiscriminate intercourse of the sexes so injurious to the morals, and incompatible with the delicacy of the fair.
The subscriber can produce unexceptionable testimonials of integrity, and he trusts his unremitting exertions to do ample justice to his pupils, will render unequivocal satisfaction to those Ladies and Gentlemen who shall deign to patronize the institution.
Future intimation will be given of the time and place of opening the Academy.
The price of tuition will be ten dollars per annum to be paid quarterly.
Application to be made to Mr. Montgomery Bell.
