 Dear Slr:.-ln the New Mexican of recent date, l noticed that rhe reyi- sion comm ttee has reported or the convention adopted. the following sections of the bill of rights. to-wit:
 eii, of Rights.
 ARTICLE
 Section i!The state of New Mex leo ts an inseparable part of the federal Union, and the constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land, and together. with all amendments thereto, which have been. or may be, adopted according C, the provisions thereof, is hereby declared to be forever binding upon the state and the people of New Mex. ico.
 Sec. F. The right of trial by fury as it has heretofore existed shall be secured to all and remain in. violate. In all cases triable in court inferior to the district court. the fury may consist of six. The iegisla- ture may provide that yerdiets in civil cases may be rendered by less than a unanimous vote Of the jury.
 | beg to cal attention to the fact that the adoption of all Of the amendments" of the constitution oi the United States, as above recited, siI certainly conflict with other sections of the bills of rights, as wel as deprive us of other priyi- leges that the "auenoments' were never designed to interfere with. # is a well known principle Of constitutional law that the first ten amendments to the constitution of the United States do not apply or restrict, with one exception the states. Then why incorporate them as a part of our organic systems It is sufficient to adopt the "constitu- tton of the United States without saying more, then the amend ments" which apply to states will be adopted and those that are not ap- piicable, wiI not become a part of our system; and any conflict of rights will then be avoided I have no hesitancy in saying that any specific adoption Of all of the amend ments will lead to unforeseen and irreparabe confusion
 Section IF, supra, also appears to me to bind lis absolutely to the trial Of all cases involving imprisonment.
