GEN. MINeR.-l wish gentlemen, in
discussing this question, had said same
thing about our right tc adopt the pFopos
ed measure. Have We right, ear Speak

are but the creatures OF The constitution,
and yet we are taking steps to desIsy it.
This is indeed a novel spectacle, the crea.
tnre superior to the creator ii we have
this right, whatiirnits are thsfe to our pow
egs! What prevents us from assuming
10 ourselves the powers Of a convention /?
But If Ne have this power, whence 90 we
deriv. il? Is there any thing in ihe Bill
OF Nights or Constitution, which coafers

ments. should be deferred from attempt
ing them, by the bold0eSs Of the inncvs-

principls on this subjeet TO be, that lho
great body of fors@ ought TO bS REPRESENT
cd and IL is faS1 that snder our present
system, the iand.hol1ers SO pay the taxes.
The present constitution, Mr. Speaker,
has served US well for thirty years 1t has
borne us through difficult and periIous
war, and has served US through long *
prosperous peace; le, US not then, with
cut the wish Of the great body Of the PEG
