I, watching the lightning speed with which
the clerks tore open the rpisl'es, glanced o

'almost incredible."
As he spoke, a tiny gold ring rolled from '

were evidei'lly written over by a delicain

i,lc explained more fully by the debate
inautaiii a- I conceive all, the view 1 have
ever iiiaint.iiued for the power of the people
of Nuilh Carolma over tbvir constitution.
But how doea any difference of opinion
on thi sustain my colleague J Pid 1 ever
talk of sustaining tho dootrino that, in a
new Statu, or in an old Slate, a Convention,
called in one way or tho other, could fairly
give the Legislature the power to make a
di crimination betweeu property! I never
did at any lime. I never maintained tho
doctrine that a' cbnVeKtfon can justly give
rhc Legislature power to give security to'
ono xpecica of property id" preference to au-other--never.
All this, however, wore
fully erjilained before.
A word now about the eijshty millions of
public laudi. The faults Inch I found with
my colleague's cpccph was, Mlttt ho stiitedf
