THoUeH an advocate of proclaim
ing the new Constitution we doubt
the expediency of its being done by
the Convention without a more de-
cided vote being taken. We had
hoped that whichever way the vote
turned it would be carried by good
majority-in fact we bad hoped that
if the proclaimers were in the ma
iority they would have fully seventy
five votes to their credit; and on the
other hand, if the submissionists had
won we would have been glad to see
them have equally as large vote.
This end might have in a measure
been accomplished by caucus. AS
it is, the result of the vote shows q
majority of ten for proclamation, but
less than half of the delegates in the
Convention. A decided majority is
necessary to convince the people that
they, the people, are for proclama-
ton, and, without q large vote in its
favor we will never hear the last of i,
from disSenters. If there is any
sprer way of arriving at positive
conclusion we wish the Convention
would pursue it.
