Another mode is that every twentieth

A third mode is that whenever three.
htlhs of the members elected to each
branch of the legislature shall propos
an amendment aud the freemen voting a,
the next election, for senators aud repre-
sentatives. shall a majority of them vote
for and adopt such amendment, the same
shall become a part OF the constitution.
1t would be idle To attempt to disguise.
that all the attempts for some years yet

party questions which nave 81 long veXed
