buted to the Committee. and it has been urged
on the People that they were not at liberty to vote

of some Une of the propositions, in preference
to the others
Some effect has been produced on the vote al.
ready given. BY the latter construction; and, as
further pro- ceilings under your commune ton
are still in progress. YOU will Obige us by saying
whether il is the intention of the Committee that
the People should be at liberty, if they think pro-
