DEAR News: The Convention has
finally fairly engaged in business. The
several Committees are ready to offer
the matters referred to them for the con-
sidefation of the Convention. The Or.
dinance of Secession has been repealed,
only three members voting against the
repeal. This places the State, accord.
ing to our view of states rights, back
into the Union.
The business before she Convention
is very heavy, and wilLprobably require
two more weeks to finish it. The
emancipation of slavery will be recog
nzed phea Parish system abolished !;
the election of Governor given to the
people and he given the veto power !;
taxes will be required to be laid ad
voto'en and uniformly throughout the
State, and other radical changes made in
the Constitution.
The Convention will also petition the
President for the pardon of Messrs. DA.
