Al 3 O'Clock the committee on the Consti-

committed TO them. We refer to the first
and last pages for that instrument entire.
After completing this report, Mr. Holmes ob
served that since the copies ordered 10 be
printed were struck OF, the committee had
. made some alterations and additions which he
now moved should be also printed. Agreed 10.
The Convention then took up the subject
Of the Bill of Rights, and debated upon il,
amended it and accepted il article by article
In The preamble Mr.. Holmes moved an
amendment, BY striking out the words g that
part of Massachusetts denominated the Dis
lrct Of" Sd that il would read, we the people
OF that part, &c
Judge 1lhucher objected 10 this amendment
on the ground that the original name .MGint
included only the territory between The Pts.
catsuua aud Kennebec rivers, and retained
that restrictive sense until it was denomina,ed
the Dlaricr Of Maine, after the adoption of the
Federal Constitution.
Dir. Holmes replied. that he apprehended
there would be no difficulty Oh that score
that Maine comprehended at toe present time
all that the District Of Maine ever did thai
he did not wish TO retain any longer the ap-
pellation of Distrsct.
The amendment prevailed.
Mr.. Holmes then moved 10 strike out
Great Legislator" and insert " Sovereign
Ruler" which also prevailed.
Some slight correction was made also in
the phraseology Of this section, and Dir
Holmes then moved that the blank in this sec,
ton, agreeably to former vote Of the Con
yentiou, should be filed by the style and tile
OF The : State of Name

Convention few moments, while be improv

not new or arbitrary term, but appropriate
as well as good sounding and respectabe-it

Mr. Holmes made some further remarks 70
support his motion.
The blank was then ordered 10 he filed by
the style and title Of the g State Of Name"
The question shallthe Preamble as amend
