Mr.. RANDOLPH opposed the amendment lie
conicndrd, hut these words We're the only ones in
the resolutions w!ii'h had any efficiency. lie said
the influence ofthc Offices of The u 5. was an ilne-
date danger.
NJ. LEON said there was now Il lerislative act
prohibiting officers ofthe u. s. from holding Offices
under the Government of Virginia where the Offices
We're incompabc.-The words stricken out would
exclude justices of the Peace and officers oil the
Militia, from being Members vi Congress. This was
the reason for striking them out. lie would vote
for any amendment which would exclude i'll cnses
where he offices were acompaiblc. lIc concurred
with MIR. Randolph that the residue of the res
olution useless.
Mr. RANpoLrH contenlcd that if these word,
were stricken ou;, 1t would leave inference that
such an iiIhlb ION was not intended TO be made ut
all-und that the c,nto ul over such officers would
no. stand the iouting that 1t did before lie
