of this wicked nation is that she has pre-
vented Spain from ratifying the treaty OF

however, some well Informed persons do not
believe that Great Britain has used any in

condition with the U. S. equal to what it
was without the transfer Of Florida. This,

not let it be in their power to bid defiance to

republican institutions, which required them
TO support the government which protected

he was certain nothing would be given this

Mr.. Holmes spoke With some warmth on the
, subject, aud expressed his disapprobatiou
of the provision for the college in The act OF
Separation; but he would protect it as the
favorite child of the State, whenever If would
relinquish that odous provision.
The amendment was adopted and The ar

Ii was their opinion from the foregoing
facts, that should the number of Senators be
increased to twenty four, justice would re-
quire that four Senators should be apportion-
ed to the county of .Kennebeck, that county
having fraction much larger than any other,
according to the apportionment made by a
Former committee.
4 debate arose on this report in which
Messrs. Chandler, Rose, Dearborn, Leuuis,
Bridge, Dana, Cony Green, Holmes, Prebie,
Thatcher, Dane and JarUis, took part.
Mr.. Preble, and others went into calcuIa-
tions to shew the incorrectness of the estimate
by which the result was obtained by the CON.
mittae. -.
/. Mr.. Holmes said, did not believe, Mr..
President, that we should get along without
the Br,snsuaick arithmetic think no other
could make such calculations and pow rise
to give due credit to the gentleman who now
represeAts4a part of the county Of Cumberland.
The vote 10 add one Senator passed, 1875 to
loo. a
On motion Of Mr.. Dearborn, the additional
Senator was given to Kennebec
Messrs Johnson and .4bbet then proposed to
add one to Hancock.
Mr.. Holmes then moved TO reduce the num-
Der Of senators 10 20-giving three to each Of
the counties of York, Cumberland. Lincoln,
and Kenne5eck, and leaving the other COUP
ties as before, which passed unanimously.
The lst and Cd sections in Article 4th were
amended by slrikipg out three after twenty.
Article 9-Schedule
Mr.. Dane, of Wells, moved 10 amend the
lst section by inserting after the word next in
he second line, these words -" The choice
OF Counse .lors, Secretary and Ire asurer, on
the first Wednesday of January annually, shall
not be made until A d. l822"-and further
TO amend said section, in the 4th line, BY in
serting after the word time, these words =
The choice Of Counselfors, Secretary and
Treasurer, shall be made on the last Wednes-
day OF May next. Adopted.
Mr.. Holmes said that as the first legislature
would have much business TO transact in organ.
izing the new government, and as they would
probably never be elected afterwards, he
thought itwas hest they should be continued
in Office until Jan 1899.
The first section as far as line 80 was then
adopted.
Mr. Dearborn moved that the convention
resolve itself into committee of the whole 10

sentation IN the house Of representatives
