So Mr. HopEIss amendment rejected.
Nj JAssEy PROPOSED tn offer amendment which ne
hoped would receive the support OF all who had declared ma
they wunld modification OF The sense 81 t''
report H. moved strike ont OF the resolution all aeI
the word Assembly viz: land proper npporionment o.
representation the people Of the Commonwealth
He desired give thc committee prnary powers as 70 inc
consideration Of the principle of basis and require them
10 report the Convention what they had agreed upon II
that principle adopted then The House could direct
subsequent committee report proper apportlonmen o'
representation according 10 H. Such was the course hi-
sued in 1880.
Mr. j. regretted tina; an impression had been produced
that there hid been eorand thrown into The House lie
had none and irrc existed any, he hoped tha' wa
ter from the fountain Of hrohery lose would How over II
until vital spnIk remained He eshof'ed oil I"
friendly feeling =.
Mr. Cmtex regretted that hr should be compelled 10 diff
fer with hc member from ouoan. He saw no occasion
when general principle was obtained from one committee
~ refer il another work out The results oi Us apc
ton As Eastern man, he desire! Ia Sec the elect I"
every principle before voting upon Il.
Mr.. i.voxs thougat thu, the st committee shanld be
CHARGED with tr anyo:iionnen matter what basis n;.9h
be The result 81 irr deliberations lie saw no necessity Tor
Mr. SrNslrns believed TINT The amendment oi the meal
Der t. would rnIsculae the resolution o. any virtue
which possessed, and the committee n:o mere
debating society upon an abstract principle
The Housr would BE- put into lr position Surely
the member should be unwilling have presented To
him tabular statistics showing the practical operation OF M
abstract principle.
The ,mn5er from Alher e Yesterday had said that The
W.. ,iird Ii TIM BE- why 60 Though WIN IN"
fjrima!v cnmttccs. That member must belong Ia The
'lrnn,st drst;ny' party. Il the very refinement OF
cruelty ii he West doomed TO toy with The victim AMI
al him for the sacrifice. lie had BATTERED himself that
n,rlhers had here form government whose foun-
laun should BE- a. deep in pfnrrics ~ Repubcanisn
which shonid annhi!tte mere sections a"d MAKE Us ore
brotherhood.
