when we come TO consider them,
dare say they will be such as to make
tho Constitution more agreeable, but
for the present | think il improper to
have any thing to do with tho gentle
mans notion
Mr.. Smith, Of South Carolina, won.
dered why the gentleman had omitted
North Carolina, which at that time
had not adopted the Constitution.
Mr. Sherman, Of Connecticut, SAID
that Rhode Island stands IN different
situation from North Carolina. When
the Constitution was formed North
Carolina was represented in the Con-
vention. She and the othei States
submitted the Constitution to Con
vention of the people, but not having
adopted it, she has called new Con
vcntion, and is proceeding TO con-
slider il as fast as convenient, 30 that
such request as is now proposed
would be unnecessary with respect to
them. AS Rhode Island did not send
members to the first Convention, there
was delicacy in trasmitting the pro-
ceedings to them, and Congress could
not, perhaps, apply to them with the
same propriety us to another. What
will DO the effect of inviting Rhode Is
land to join the Convention we can not
tell until we try
Mr.. Madison, OF Virginia, thought
there were cases in which il was pru
dent to avoid coming to decision. He
thought 1t would be improper for Con
gress to expose itself to have the pro
position rejected by the Legislature of
Rhode Island. 1t would likewise be
improper to express desire where a
free agency ought to be employed.
Mr.. Fisher Ames, OF Massachusetts,
said he would be glad to know if any
gentleman contemplates the State OF
Rhode Island discovered from tho Un.

most convenient manner for the pur-
