u The Convention yesterday, the report of the
select Committee having been received, after some
conversation, referred 1t to Committee of the
Whole, and made 1t the order of the day for this
day. Th' effect of this order, is to subject every
thing heretofore agreed upon, to change, without
lmitatlon-and IN parliamentary considcr Grafton, as
well as In truth. and III fact, nothing whatsoever
agreed upon at any preceding stage, is final con-
elusive. The whole field of amendment and discus
SION, is again thrown open. I'his say, merely to
state the Ict, and not IN spirit of dissatisfaction
complaint. We are appraised that general and deep
disgust at the slow and huctuating progress of the
Conventions: pervades the public mind ye, none but
member of Convention, or one who is on the
ground can form correct estimate of the difficult
ties and perplexties which besct the path of that
honnurabe body, in reconcil ling practice 10 prnci-
pie. and local interests to The good of the whole
Ihe knowledge ofths ought to eradicate the beat
and impatiencc, which begin to manifest themselves
III different places,
Speculation upon the fate of the submitted const
tuition would he idle and mstimed-but this much
perhaps, may be safely said, that were it question
whether this Constitution should be presented
by the Convention, this would be accepted by de-
cided vote of that body. When it is again open to
amendment in all its provisions-when certain Of
those provisions were formerly adopted by maori-
ty only OF one two--when some of that MAORI
ty may feel disposed relnquish their preference
for this in order to that which is offensive
when combination of sections may be formed, to
change every part Off, for one purpose or another it
would be extremely presumptuous to predict what
fate awaits the abors of the select committee Ey.
