 Your committee believing eli ii 5 that the peo of this State should have clear under l standing of the facts with regard to tie amendment to the, constltution ;. making
 Haftford fhe. sole capital, which is to be | voted upon on the 9th, day Of October
 next. and that they should be left there after to then own unbiased jiidgment and | sense of the linfairness and ini9 ice of tAiS measure, and of the evil cpnseluen- cfs to the people of the State, which. Z. 4 tsor years will develop; when if will be Etoo late to remedy what will then be seen ttS be a mistake, if.this amendment is adopted by la majority Of 4he. popular vote, have concluded to. set forth, in a plain, brief statement, the facts and con sequences alluded to above, =reposing our l tegrity, and. sense of justice of, the peo- pie. ' 1 ae'ts 5.fT ,.t.,ss++--''.5,. fs In 1869 resolution was offered for fcbnstitutional ;, amendment a. constituting lfMeriden the sole capital of the State.. The report of. the joint committee on con- l.stitutional amendments, five out Of nine frecommended that the word fsMeFidenp lllbe Istrieken out and Hartford inserted in | lieu thereof. The resolution making Hartfofd the sole capital was passed.s i.,'s5 + In 1870 the legislature holding its -ses-. Isto1i in New Haven, the amendment was Host. After this, in 1870, the amendment, lstbmitting the question whether Hart ford aor New. Haven should abe-the sole cApisal, was passed by 8 majority veteand defeated ilo 1871 for the lack of a twe- thirds vote. s4 Hartford now uses the -de7, l feat of the amendment in 1871 against. New Haven, thus: that she, Hartford twas
 willing to submit the vote to the people, I Ishhd that New Haven feared to do so, which iis not true. Hartford s favor to the meas lure came from belief that she could so manipulate n popular vote as to.obtain the prize upon which she had fixed her sharp New Haven s disfavor to the measure came. from tlds-~tllats she was satisfied and content to leave things as l t4of proposed' to deprive Haftf ford of her ahcfsat presbige and renowg inr being ibne l of She eapitaIs of the State; but Hartford had. aimed in 1869 to depdite New Haven of heryafciest prestige and renown,, in be- I ing one of the leapit tals of the State. New Haven had no desire. to precipi te such |aI tentest1s or astrugg gle-sh he was content. |s IH is4 simple to state that Hart ford would FneEer have dared tofsubmit
 thereapital question between herself and New Haven, if she had ttlltonght ebhefe was
 sa| probability of her eeasing to be nne of ]
 the capitals Of the State. l. iF'4'3s i' s-s7 :et
