THURSDAY, ?;OY. 13. fr. John A. Cameron, a delegate from Cumberland county,, appeared and took his scat. Mr. Yancey, from the Committee appointed to report such amendments to the-Constitution as may be thought desirable, made a Report, which being read, was ordered to be printed. A copy of the Constitution as proposed to 'be amended, appears in the 4th page ot this paper. On motion, the meeting adiourned till to-morrow. : friday, nov. 14. Mr. Sanders, from the committee appointed to enquire into the most de- siraoie plan 01 suomittmg tne proposea amendments of the Constitution to the People of the State, made a Report, Which was read and ordered to lie on the table. . The proposed amendments to the Con stitution being printed, the meeting took .1' 01 1 tnem un tor consideration : when, on of Mr. Fisher, the meeting: resolved itself into a Committee of the whole but two Gentlemen called upon for the rjurDose, declining to take the chair, Gen. Stokes continued to pre side in Committee. The Constitution, as proposed to be amended was then taken up by sec tiorrs. The only amendment proposed to the first section, was, ! to change the style of the popular branch of the Legislature from House of Commons to House of Representatives. Mr. Yancey, the Chairman of the committee, said the committee preferred. the term of House of Representatives, for obvious reasons. , No .objection' was made to the change. The 2d section proposing that the Se nators shall be chosen by ballot, every two years, in manner hereafter directed, was passed without remark. As was the 3d, except that it was pro posed to change thewordltepresenta tives, in the 2d line, to Members, but the motion was not agreed to There being no change proposed in the 4th section but the word Represen tatives, instead of Commons it passed 01 course. The 5th section prescribes the qua lifications 01 members of the feenate. They are to be 25 years old, and must have resided in the district one year &c Mr. Carson moved to .amend tills section by adding, that he shall be a citizen of the U, Stales, as he wished to prevent any person from entering our councils who-, was attached tjo tne interests of any other country Mr. Settle said, as he perceived the commit tee proposed that none but iiee white citi zens should be permitted to vote for members of the most popular branch of the Legisla ture, lie hoped no colored man-would he ch eible to a seat in either branch of the Gene ml Assembly, lie therefore, proposed to amend the amendment, by adding to the qua Ufication, that he shall be a free white man. Mr. Yanc&f said the committee had not thought such a provision ue the 7th section none but free white men, pos sessed 01 a certain 'trochoid, arc permitted to vote. He had, however, no objection1 to the proposed amendments, y Mr. Burton observed, that there was no ne cessity for the amendment in relation to fo- vjigners, tis a Senator is required to holdoOO acres of land in fee, which no alien could have. . r ' ' :' . lioth amendments were agrded to. lilr.'Mtmpiivi irioved further to amend the 5th section, by adding to the end of it, or real estate in Jed o f the value o f dollars, ; 1 AY Inch peine' agreed to, Mr. ' Jr tlhamsm proposed to fall the blank with" six hvm!reify which he simposed was about the value of 300 acres of land at the time the present Consti tution was adopted. He preferred this to u larger surtv as lie did not wish to deprive ci tizens of small estate from a seatUn the Se nate. ' , ; . ...... -v- Mr. fVffAerwas in favor of fiUln? the blank ?itha smaller sum. He did, riot consider what was the value of land formerly, but What is its present value ; and he believed, that dollar an 'r acre would be a more correct esti mate than two dollars, Vhen, ; said " he, we , are fixiugtwoquariiications we ought to make the value as ncarlv qual as practicable ; .and a man nossessed of ' 100 acres of land, worth $oQ0t might be well quahfiedto seiv his country in.the Senak as one poss acres worth tlie same sum.f , We have already saau xnat. a man ownmer ou acres ot lancu or. and of the value of $50, shJl vote for a Sena-to tor. He wished here to observe the same pro- parties eoTicerr.ed, that 1 shall proceed totakc portion.-vi: .' 'ipy .v'V'.n. 'x rvlyXh$ amount on the first Monday in February Mr. Phifer. observed, that the framers of the present constitution made a marked dis- tinction between members of the Senate and n -w-- v mer were intended to represent the landed interest of the State ; but the latter the peo ple at large,. and he was for keeping up .that distinction. The inhabitants of our towns who have no!and,may be as patriotic as others; but he jconsidcred the liberties of the country safest in the hands cf the landed interest. Mr. Vuncey said, there was iio wish in any one,, presumed, to' destroy'-the distinction of Which the gerrtlemkn from Cabarrus spoke. It was proposed merely to affix an average va lue of 300 acres of land, and provide that a member ot the Scnatcf should have that qtian tity of land, or estate of equal value, which will jemebate chiefly on persons living in town3 and he was in favor of filling the blank with S1000 I . Mr. f Ifsher was wil ling to fill the blank with a sum that should be about equal to the value of the lapd ; but no gentleman will say that the avenge value M land is $3 an acre, " and SI 000 would exceed that .'price.'- He hoped therefore, a smaller sum would be fixetl upon. Mr. J. A. Cameron proposed to amend the Section so as to provide that a Senator shall possess 300. acres of land, or town property to the (value ot 1000.. ). s ; t Mr. Fislier obiectctl to the provision being cohfincdtopersoris living ih towns ho wishetl it to be geheral. 1 , ',. Mr, Jfeawe said, there appeared to him no difficult m the proposed provision. If a man hold 300 acl-es of land he would be eligible ; or if he held land worth JIOOO, tliaugh it miglit be less in quantity, he would be equal ly eligible. To confine the alternative to towns, would deprive an' inhabitant of the country from a seat in the Senate M ho pos sessed any less number of acrjes than O0, thougli ifmight be worth $6000. He Iroperi the amendment would pas3 as proposed by the mover. - ... ' ' " Mr..-Jltangwn was .opposed to the amend ment proposed by the gentleman from Cum berland. J This proposition could not be con sidered as infrineinc on the rieht as at pre- Lsent exercised ; laut as an extension of tha.t right. 7" Our ancestors, said he, thought pro per to guard our interests in the Senate, by requiring; its members to be owners of 300 a cres of the soil of tlie country and it was doubtless a wholesome provision. The object of the present amendment was to admit such as have not that quantity of land, but possess ah estate of 51000. Under the present Con stitution, if a man possesses property to the value of $20,000, if he have not 300 acres of land, he is not eligible. This he did not think correct. He was clear, however, that the property to' qualify .a man to be Senator should be freehold property, and not ah estate that should depend on his own life, or ! the life of another. f' 7: ' , v Mr. Sanaa's was in favor of neither of the amendments proposed io this section. He preferred the provision' of the Constitution as it now stands. He was for having members of the Senate to be owners of 300 acres, of land. He considered the Senate as repre senting the landed interest of the country, and he should prefer that its members should be chiefly taken from the country,- and not from towns; Or, if members should be cho sen frpm towns, that they should be men who owned at least 300 acres of label ; and no one worthy of a seat in the Senate would find any difficulty in acquiring this qualification, j : Mi. J. S Smith' was in favor "of tlie onginal amendment : but thought 1000 Dollars was too large a sum with which 0 fill the blank, A man who has 300 acres of land not worth 100 Dollars may be a Senator. He should wish to fix; the sum at what might be consi dered about an average value of 300 acres of land. He proposed therefore OUO Dollai-s. He was anxious this amendment should pre vail ; as jthe Convention proposed to take away the right of the towns to send mem bers, theinhabitant.4 of 'towns ought to be placed on an equality as to eliiijility with those of the country V ; Mr. J'hifer again, insisted upon maintaining the landed interest m Senate, and against la cihtating jthe election to that body of the in habitants! of the towns. Mr. Cameron withdrew his proposition The question was' then taken on filling the blank wih 1000 dollars arid lost. The; ques tion was jtlicn taken on 600 cloliai s, and car ried. -..! ' f Ori motion of Mr. Maneum, the section" was further amended, by inserting the words, be fore the 600 dollars, w real estate in fee of the 1 .' t4 I - . 1 . . .' . .1 r' . r. it pl be continued.
