sttution as amended Tor the considera-
tion of the Convention and Of the people.
That Committee have performed the duty
intrusted 10 them, and now present to the
Convention ard to the public, the result
Of their labOrs. in many Gases they
have transposed the sections, and in
others altered the language and con
densed them but they have in no case
designedIy altered the meaning of the
Constitution as settled by the Conven-
ton. Wherever they have thought pio-
per TO recommend the addition or oms-
sion of any words Of consequence, they
have included them in brackets. The
ninth section of the Article on Suffrage,
is the one added on motion Of Mr.. VII.
hnr, of Coventry, and if finally adopted,
will render many changes necessary in
other parts of the Article. Ii the eldest
sons are not to be hereafter admitted

ported by the Committee. Those Sec
