ted ny several gentlemen as n peace offering that
would probably allay the existing excitement and
give general satisfaction. On the other hand,
they were opposed upon the ground, first, that a
new General Assembly is to meet next week, the
members OF which ought Of right to be left TO
act ms they choose in this matter and, secondly.
that it became not the Legislature to adopt such
measure, as II were, upon conpulsion. They
ought not to act under the menances of the revo-

be asserted; aid there would he lime enough then
to call a Convention, should the people, by petit
