Judge Birch, Of Missouri, called the
attention of the Convention to the basi,
of representation proposed to be adop
led by the third resolution. 1t was ev
ldent to all, if this basis was adopted.
that few gentlemen present from the
larger States could control the whole
action Of the Convention.
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Hall moved a division
of the question; so that the sense of the
Convention could be taken on the reso.
lutions separately; which motion was
adopted.
The first and second resolutions were
thereupon read and adopted. When
the third resolution was read, motion
was made that it be laid on the table.

all questions where a division is called

sented in the Convention shall be enti-
tied TO one vote"

basis Of representation should be desig-
mated. The matter was discussed when

as that State is entitled to in the Ma.
