In this paper we publish the proposed
amendments to the Constitution Of the
State. 1t is SO obviously unjust that the
numerous subscribers TO The True Amer
ican should be compelled to hunt up other
papers in which to find the rec ord Of TIE
important amendments submitted tor their
decision, by the action of the legislature,
that we have determined to publish the
document, upon our own responsibility,
intending no wever to submit the matter
to the proper authority to say whether
we are not equally entitled to reasonable
compensation with our contemporaries.
