H. Convention having under consider
.,ion NJ ,Se schedule for taking the vCt'
n n, The ratification or rejection oil INC
@ts Mr.. FaEuswotth moved =
s,nEe ont in tho 7th section the word,
, 1 day, and insert tho words second
T"ssdsy Of october ailer the ratification
oftbIs Constitution and Schedule" which
would have the effect Of permitting
tho vote upon the Constitution 'f
be taken upon the fourth Ilars
Jsy Of August, untrammled by any other
question, and then should It be ratified inc
election for officers should take place upon
Tho regular day named in said ConStita-
lion, The End Tuesday Of October. Mr'
Farnsworth said: .
Mr.. PREsIDENT-I do not presume tils
Convention intends to circumvent tue
free expression Of the will ofthe people as
,be election OF officers upon the same day
would most certainly DO. No such prac'
lice had ever been known 10 either tue
odd or tho new State, and l beg Of
Gentlemen 10 permit this;important ques'
Ion Of the adoption or rejection Of our
fundamental law, to stand before the peo-
Ma upon It's own merits. Besides this
Convention has no power as can be seen
BY The act authorizing this Convention, to
Do inviting more than to prepare and
submit their work as a Constitution TO the
people. Section 18th Of that Act Is In the
following words; flg,!il -
"Tbe persons who shall be elected In purSu.
.prs Of ihls act, shall on the third Tuesday OF
January next meet and assemble at the seat OF
government III general convention, 10 consider,
dlscuss and propose new Constitution. or alter
atiOns and amendments 10 the existing Copstltu-
tlOl Of this State" p,
We are called together Tor no other pur.
pose, and anything that is beyond, Is but
a usnrpatiOn and assumption of powers
not cOltlded to us. The Goth section OF
said act, still more FULLY defines the limits
OlOur abOrs.
Tho saId Convention shall provide by ordl-
nluee or otherwise, for submitting the said Con-
stI,ullOu TO the people for ratification or retee-
tOn."
Now, where is your power TO make an
election law and order IN election OF OIL
GERS, when your ordinances have no more
binding effect than the proclamation of u
county court until that ordinance is rati-
lied by the people. 1t Is claimed that u
has unlimited powers. True
you have unlimited powers to suggest, but
your suggestions, your ordinances, have
no force Of law until passed upon by tho
people respectfully ask that these votes
may be separated. Justice TO-, the party
which you declare Is in the minority IN
this State requires that no entangling
questions should be introduced. 1t Is NOT
tair, Il they should desire to vote against
Tue adoption OF the Constitution, at the
same time TO require them 10 vote for
officers under the same.
