The Pope of Rome has published his

A common error exists in the minds OF many

educate themselves at a school whose Faculty

Three petitions were presented this
morning on the subject Of Temperance.
Very many Of our benevolent friends who
have an eye directed to futurity, seem to
think that their children, and their chill
dren's children, and posterity generally,
are going to be great drunkords, and hence
they want a constitutional provision
against selling liquor. They may be
right, but your humble correspondent has

SOLuMbucs SuuS 90.
One petition was presented 10 the con-
ventlon this morning asking that capital
punishment be abolished, one that banks
and paper money be abolished, and two or
three praying thata clause be inserted in
the constitution to prevent people from
drinking whiskey.
The convention went into committee of
the whole on the report of the Standing
Committee of the public institutions of the
State, which was discussed till noon when
il was finished, there being only two sec.
tons oft.
The report proposed that the Directors
Of the Penitentiury, and Trustees and 9th
er officers Of the benevolent institutions
should be appointed by the Governor. But
that was not progressive enough--it was
rather progressing backwards, so the re-
port wns amended so as to elect the Direc.
tors of the Penitentiary by the people, but
leaves the officers Of the benevolent insti-
tutions to be appointed BY the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent Of the
Senate.
A question then arose upon the propriety
ofadmitting negroes into the benevolent in.
stitutions, the report being framed so as 10
admit 'salI classes" Strange to say, we
had not one free-soil speech on the sub
ject--Liltle Jimmy Taylor sot still and
looked rs ''cool as a cucumber" An a.
mendmeni prevailed to leave the matter to
be determined by the legislature.
Mr.. Reemelin offered an additional Sec
lion, that the cCnvicts in the pententiary,
Tor their families after serving out their
time, should receive from the State the
nett proceeds Of their labor during their
confinement. The proposition was debated
ut some length by Messrs Reemolin, Ranny
and Robertson in favorof land Judge
Hitchcock, Case, Of Licking, and Mitchell
in opposition.
Mr.. Archbold remarked that he thought
the speeches Of Messrs Reemelin and Ran
ny were one step above the sublime, when
Mr.. Reemelin replied that the speeches in
opposition verified the old adage, that there
was but one step from the sublime 10 the
ridiculous.
The proposition, however, was lostby
very large vote, after which the conven-
ton adjourned till Monday morning. So
there wss no afternoon session,
