myself and pause before I gave my vote, tint
tlie only object of the bill is to seek the sense
of the people on that subject and conform n> it
accordingly. Il only proposes to submit to
the people the question whether they will call
a convention for Ihe limited purpose of redu
cing Ihc number of members in the Legisla
ture, and for no other object whatever. And
are gentlemen afraid to submit this or any
other important question to tho decision of
their eunstituonts ? Are they afraid ot ihe de
