Io4nled with this section was, doubtless,
he omission to recognize in any form the
nm action Of the Ordinance Of separation
ns,sed by the Convention Of the people OF
Virginia assembled at Wheeling August
o. IS8l This provision was in substance
contract which the Federal Constitution
has moi permit our people to violate in

re:ogpizes Il or not. Their omission TO
recognize in the proposed Constitution the
mnose they ayOw with so much credit
and satlslaCiion-while it stamps our PEG.
ne with perfdy, can, in no degree, re.
lease Us from our just liability in regard
TO the Virginia debt.
Sec. 80 Of the same article would seem
TO 50 lar restrict legislation in regard to
special and lCcaTsu6jectS, Us 10 require all
laws 10 their application 10 be coextensiye
with the limits Of the Stale, and far above
the practical local needs Of the people,
which are constantly changing.
Art 7sec. /, the union Of the duties Of
Attorney General and Reporter Of Court Of
Appeals decisions, in the same person,
would seem TO me to be often Gm6arrass-

require the Executive officers, as Audi
tOF, Treasurer, &C., except tho Attorney
General, TO reside" that is, have their
families located at the seat OF government
during their term Of Officer 1t would
