Dear Sir: Although personally unac- queiiytod with you, I venture to add rose you a note of Inquiry in reference to a point of coiiHidorablo iropoitsnce, nOect- ing, as it may, tbo character und ninteriul of our .State Convention. It is a generally received opinion throughout tlio State, and accepted by yourself, as appears from your recent in structive letter to Colonel Fulton, that no person belonging to tho oxcepted classes can voto, or is eligible as a mombor of tin* Convention, until ho receives a special pardon. It is respectfully asked, Wliot arc the grounds for such opinion? It is not authorized by tho oxpross language of the President'* liaoclamation appointing our Provisional Govornor, nor does it flow tberofroB by inference. In that procla mation it is declared that “in any election that may be hereafter hold for choosing delegates to any Htato Convention, n« aforesaid, no person shall bo qualified as an olector, or shall bo oligiblo us a mem ber of such Convention, unless ho hIihII have previously taken the outh of amnes ty, as set forth In tho Prosident’s procla mation of May 29tb, 1805, and is a voter qualified as prescribed by tho Constitution and laws of thofcitato of Georgia in force imraodiatoly hofore the 19th of January, 1801.” It is also dircoted that tlio Con vention shall ho “composed of delegates so he choson by that poPion of tho people of said State who nro loyal to the United States, and no othors. Such are tlio conditions imposed, and such only. Nor has tho Provisional Governor added what ever tq them in his proclamation con- corning tho Convontion. In this matter ho bnt repeals the iungunge of tbo Presi dent. And tlioso aro tho two decisive sources ot authority.

And it was in defurenco to this opinion that l made the assumption to which you rofor in luy loiter to Col. Fulton. The Commanding Goncral hero argue* thus : “The person applying lor special pardon, though ha lakos tho oath, is fur nished with no copy of it, and i* not con sidered in possession of it.

If he undeitako lo vote, and that voU be ehallonged, ho oau furnish no evidence of hit being within the imi nosty, or of his having taken the oath. From all which it is inforred that though the language of the proclamations seems to encourage the idoa that he is entitled to vote, or sorvo in tho Convention after having takon tho oath in any way, yet this was uot inteudod by tho President.’' Upott talking tho matter over with the Goueral, after the receipt of your letter this morning, (which 1 showed to him,) Gon.
