The proceedings of the Convention yesterday
occupied much lime and cover a large space in
the Commonwealth this morning, but as the mass
OF the record is mere chronicle ofrords, with hui
'ite action, the substance OF the whole may be
condensed in a printer "square."
The main question up was upon the proposition
10 furnish members with copies of the Frankfort
papers 10 amount OF some 5000, for graiuitous
distribution among their constituents. The SUBJ
lect was discussed al considerable length, and
finally the proposition was rejected by vote of Sc
to 40
A petition was presented by Mr.. Hardin, signed
by voters of Casey county, asking an enquiry into
the election OF the delegate (Mr. Cofey) from that
county. Referred 10 a committee.
Archibald Dixon offered the following resolG-
ton, which copy toshow that distinguished gen.
uemsn's views with regard TO the judiciary.
Resolved, That the judicial officers of the State
OF tnOuAQ elcCttC DN people, OUT,
10 avoid the exercise of any improper Influence
over the Jatges, in the discharge OF their official
duties, by those who msy have taken part in their
elections, il is expedlent 10 incorporate into the
Constitution proyis on, requiring the Judges, liv
ing in two adjoining districts, TO preside alternate
y in each Of the Courts of such districts.
This is an admirable suggestion, and at once
knocks down many CT The laborlously constructed
arguments about the danger of psrtialIty and pre-
indice between the elected Judge and his SUPPORT
eys.
M. Root introduced some strong resolutions
against duelling, which were referred TO committee
Of the whole and ordered 10 be printed.
From the following tsrty passage al aims yeser
day, you will percei7e that fight IS made up on
the great question Of naturalization, or as some de-
n minated IL here TO cast cdium upon Mr.. DaNis
ard his cause IN adysnce) Native iMsricgRtsm:
Mr.. Dixon offered the following as a substitute
To- the proposition OF Mr. Davis, in relation TO the
naturalization.
WHEREAS, The people OF the United States, in
the Let article and Slh section Of the FederG Con-
tuition, have given 20 Congress the exclusive
power to establish uniform rule of nsturaliZa-
lion; Gad rhcTeas, it was contemplated by the ira
msrs of the Constitution of the United States, that
the citizen nlturaiLed should, ih all respects,
touching the right Of suffrage, be placed on an
equal footing with the native born citizen. There
fore,
Resolved, That il would be inexpedient TO incor-
porate into the Constitution of Kentucky, ans
principle whereby any jnvidious distinction should
be made in favor of the native born over the nstu
"a Zed citizen, in the exercise OF the right OF SUI
tIage-
Mr. Davis-Iwill merely say 10 the gentlemen
in regard to these rcposiiions that whsn the time
comes for their consideration, let them be taken
up in their order, and then
clay on Macduf,"
Mr.. Diron-I will only say to the gentleman that
when the time comes Nscduff will De in his place.
Mr. c. A. Wicklife-l have only 10 say that
wherever Mscduffor Macbeth may be, Kentucky
citizen will be in his place.
You nav readily surmse what kind OF a discus
zion we will have upon this subject, when such
men as Davis, Dixon, and Wicklide are on the
lists, and Guthrie, Hardin, r y. WicklItie are
thought TO have an eagerness for the fray.
The remainder OF the day was occupied in DIS
cussons of rules of Older and matters OF no general
Importance.
Ii is source of general regret that the talented
and eloquent member elect from Barren, MI.
R p Maupin, is still unable 10 leave home and
take his seat in the Convention.
am engaged in taking daguereotype likenesses
of The mental aud moral features of members OF the
CONVEX ton which, If not striking and artisticly
executed as Hecett takes of the physical Inca
ments of hIa patrons, will yet be true enough TO ma
/ ture 10 be generally recognised and enjoyed.
Respectfully,
"TnE EXCLUDED"
| MIR. Yut'an was against laying the table, b1
| would ha i've voted for the exclusion.
