The Honfe of Representatives, was lar week
employed upon . mott in,eleiaing fhbjea. A re
folution was fome time fnce offered by Mr.. Rod
rey the purport Of which was, that it is expedent
to extnguifh the balances due from the debtor
States 70 the United Stotes. This did not feem TO
exeise much inerea, becaufe 6mar attempts have
heretofore been made, and have been put off BY
great majorities. On Tu-fday he debate upon
this refolution commenced. and upon taxing
vote on Wednefday, 10 committee of the whole. it
rejected BY the bare majority of one. s. to 81 |!
On Thurlday, the Houfe nsseoneuvred with the re
port Of the conmir,ee OF the whole, 81 to s. !!
This is conidered as fettl'ng the principle that
the debts ought to be &ricken of. The principal
debtor States are Newyork, Northcarolina, and
Delaware. All the members from thofe States
voted for expu aging the debts. j The New-Eng
land States are all creditors. The oppoition from
New England was warm, but Intellectual. The
debts TO be aricken off amout .(includrg interea
up TO IN Jan. ISo4) 40 o,47z.eco dollars. A
motion is now peading to pay the creditor States
their repeave proportions OF that debt in the ratio
OF direct taxes. But bec;vs this will be loR.-

(, hundred and three, he and the fame i
hereby dihpproved by the Legislature o
this fate, tor the reafons following:
III. Becaufe at all times Innovation
OF the Contiiu;ion arc dangerous, Blu
more Especially when the changes are die
latcd ~ party ipirit, are deiigned for tenn
porary pufpofes, and calculated 10 accom-
pliIh perional views.
I'D. Becaufe as Representatives, of /;
final! Fate, we are f.niible that in til,
nature Of things, every ehangein the con
ttitu,ion will be in favor of the large itates
who will never be difpored to allow, ane
will always have the means to prevent /;
variation favorable to the intereits of til,
fmall itates. ,.,
sd. BecahGe, in fact, the propofee
Amendment does reduce the power ali,
weight of the fmall itates, in the cafe pro
vided by the contribution for the choice O
PRECEDENT by the Houle of 4 Representatives.
by limiting the felection 70 three inltcad
OF the FIVE candidates having the greateil
number Of electoral votes.
9Th. Becaufc the prefent mode of cleo.
ton gives to the fmall ltates controul and
weight in the election of PRECEDENT and
Vice-Prefident, which are deltroyed by the
contemplated amendment.
9Th. Becaufe tits the true and perma-
|nent interef Of free people, among whom
the relations of majority and minority
ever are huctuating, to maintain the juli
weight and refpeStability of the minority,
BY every proper proviion, not impea-hing
the principle that the majority ought to
govern: and we conGder the prelent mode
of election as calculated to repreis the
natural intolerance of majority, and to
iecure lome confederation and forbearance
in relation to the minority.
9th. Becauie we view the exiting
proviiion in the contribution as amonglt
the wifef of its regulations. Hiftory fur
nifhes many examples of nations and par
ticularly of republics, in their delirious
devotions to individuals being ready to
facrifice their liberties & deareit rights OF
the perlonaI aggrandzement Of their idol.
The exiting regulation furniihes fome
check to this human inhrnity by the occa-
iionai power given to few to negative
the will of the majority as to one man,
and leaving them every other qualified
citizen in the country for the range of
their leleetion.
9th. Bccaufe we are not fatished tina.
the laid amendment has conittutionally
palcd the two houles of congrefs, the
contribution requiring the concurrence Of
two thirds Of both houles of congrefs,
which in cafe of iuch magnitude and Of
deGgned precaution, muf be conlidered
as two thirds of the entire number compo-
fling the two houfes respectively, whereas
it appears that the iaid amendment is not
supported by the concurrence of the
whole number Of either hou(e.
Sent down for concurrence.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT Tor the State of
RHODE iSLAND, Ammo 1904.
The prodigIousq quantities of snowwhich
fell the latter end Of February and begin
ming Of March last, appear to have chilled
our northern hemisphere for The whole
summer. We had very little warm wea-
Their before Augus--and indeed we had
not more than ten or twelve Of those warm
nights which are suitable for corn, through
the season. = he late crops Of corn we're
all killed by the frost on the I4th of Sep
tembsr and on the 9th Of October, when
the great snow fell in New.H ampsh re and
Vermont, the ground was coveted with il
within four miles of Providence. The
products of the season may be stated as
follow:
Hay. The crop Of clover, SC. on warm
sandy land was very considerable, but The
grass on the old meadows was much Of il
winter killed. Upon an average, The crop
was good F; but as We had no old hay ieft
last spring, and as our seed was all cut OF
by the dry weather in August, we expeel
hard times Tor cattle this winter.
Rye. Failed almost totally IN many parts
OF this state, but we are happy 10 hear The
crop was great in Connecticut.
