seals as Senators on this floor : and,
whereas, there are laws of viial impor
tance t<> the people of Georgia* Lo be en
acted by ihe General Assembly, the
validity of which should not be made
uncertain, because of a participation of
their enactment by persons not entitled,
under the Constitution, to so partici
pate : therefore, be it
