the Council of Censors, the change from
the council to the Senate, had been adopt.

had fully endorsed it. A motion to re.
consider was rejected in that case. as he
hoped this would be.

On motion of Mr.. slade of Middlebury,
AFTERNOON.

the direction of the Convention, and the
same was unanimously adopted.
Mr. Phelps of Burlington moved to re-
consider the vote fixing the time for final

the resolution was ordered to lie upon the
table.
The question being stated from the

BILE discussion, Mr.. Slade amended his

Mr.. Hartshorn of Canaan moved that
the resolution be dismissed, which was

Mr.. Walton of Montpelier moved that
the convention do now proceed to vote on

amendment, and on that question, he de-
manded the previous question, but sub
sequently withdrew his demand, TO allow
the gentleman from Middlebury to reply
to the remarks of Mr.. Dillingham; of
Waterbury, made yesterday.
Mr.. Slade said that he could not agree
with the gentleman from Waterbury that
if we pass this amendment, it will be but
an entering wedge to the destruction of
the right of representation Of the towns
in the legislature. He said that the last
proposed amendment made full provision
against any such emergency.
