August, in which shape it was again passed
without filling the blank.
The convention yesterday adopted a re-
port made by the committee On law reform
dcclaratory Of rights. and then took up the
report Of the committee on bill of rights and
substituted for it the bill of rights Of the old
constitution. In the consideration Of thi, a
thousand amendments were proposed, and
the greater part Of day was spent in u very
prOtltleSs debate. One amendment propose
ed by Mr. Brown was adopted prohibiting
free negroes from settling in the state. TO
