under the Government of virginia where the Offices
incompat ibc.-The words stricken ont would
exclude Justices of the Pence end officers of the

sufficient unto the day the evil thereof DR.
Franklin had said iba, two removes were equal 20
fire. Mr. Il. thought two Constitutions worse than

He did nut believe the Constitution now about TO be,
formed would last twenty years. The great reproach

un naed of Inviting it BY such provision.
