On motion of Mr.. Copton, Select Committee OF
o three--Messrs Clopton. FItzhugh and P"we-was
appointed to superinend the engrossmen:--and then
s on motion of Mr. Giles,
5 The Convention adjourned to 10 o'clock this day.
Thus 1t vii! be seen, that yesterday an impor-
tant day provision was adopted, which seems to
satisfy those who feared for the independence of the
Judiciary and the Constitution was ordered to be en-
crossed Whether this question: IS douht
tui as to some votes-Messrs Giles and Coaler pro
testing that their for engrossinc was not to be
taken evidence of their final vote one way or the
other-Alr Randolph voting for it. who has said if
/ we are not mistaken, that he would vote against it
Fl and others voting doubtingy. We believe however
thai the matter is settled and that though some mem
bers may change ground, the result will not vary
materially. Great address was Yesterday dspoy-
ed, In making the Constitution and Mr. SCOTS
amendment of the Judiciary reciprocaly carry each

to pass the Constitution, got Mr.. SCOTS amendment

and that nothing but the having Obtained this, secr-
red majority for the engrossmcnt.

there were two opinions upon-end then if the vote
engrossment be fair index of the final VOTE and
there be no ryders, the public will take joyful fare
well of The Convention. Some think that this ma,
