Monday, May 13th, 1839, Tltr Convention met ■! 9 o’clock, pursuant load* journtnent, the President In the chair. After pray* •r and the call of the roll, ilia journal of Saturday was read. Mr. Dougherty of Troup, offered a resolution that' tbi* Convention does not consider this Act. of »f the Legislature as binding, neither as an Ad of the Legislature,nr as instructions from thepeople. Mr. D. supported Ids resolution briefly. Mr. Wof ford suggested that the mover permit his resolution to lluon thu table for tho present, and that the con vention proceed with the unfinished business In committee. The President read from the Rule* of tho House of Representative*, as adopted by. tbo convention, that tho unfinished business Is first in older. After a desultory conversation between th* chair nnd Mr. Gumhle and Mr. Hudson, as to tb» qm-stlon ofoidi-r; a motion was made to dispens* with tlm enter of the du), so as to consider thu re solution. Mr. Berrien of Chatham, opposed th* motion nnd Imped that it would not prevail. Mr. Stepln-ns supported thn motion, and.stated thut lie viewtd the Act of tho Legislature, as an usurpation of the rights of tho people, nnd that tlm Legislature had no right to pass tho Act,—that it was o violation uf the constitution, nnd a disorgani sation of the fundamental law, which prescribed tho mode of amending tho constitution. Another mem ber ruse nnd said heronsidond that they were sent here by tlm people lo effi-ct n general object, not to ha bound hy tlm specifications embraced in the Act pasted, Mr, Cleveland expressed himself as prepared to net and carry out the intentions of tha people, n* evinced hy ihMr response to tha action of • thu General Assembly.

If tho Act is void In one thing it is void in uvciy tiling, Mr King wos surprised to hear tho gentfeninn of Tuliaferro express n contempt for tho Legislature who passed tlm Act, of which Legisla ture the gentleinun from Tuliaferro himself was a member, Mr. Kennn snld lie assembled hero at a particu lar time designated by tlie Legislature, hut as one hp did not consider thnt the Legislature, when they did not amend the con-titutinn, in the ntodo proscribed,, had tiny right to prescrilto rules to the people In convention. He held that what they did was mere-* ly advisory and subject to the assent or rejectio^of the people. He viewed tint Act of tho General As% xcinhly as an usurpation of |mwer, Thn l’resident remarked that he onuld not allow any further encroachment on the rules, and ttusteiV thnt the mover Would for the present withdraw his resolution,which the gcutb mun from Troup acceded to.

Mr. Woflbrd rose nnd suggested thnt the com mittee rise, nnd that tiro subject bo considered in Convention, so tbit every gentleman might have no opportunity orreumdinglds vote on every plan sub mitted, Mr. Berrien (of Chatham) opposed the sngges- tinn of the gentleman from Hnber-hnm, and at the snmo limn expressed Ids disposition to sustain tlm report of tho committee In their arrangement of districts ft-oin two counties, provided by such ar rangement, the political relations of tlie pnrtic* should not bo disturbed.

Mr. Wofford remarked, he expected tohearfrom the gentleman from Chatham, snmo nrgumentx which would point nut same coarse lor thn conven tion to ndopt, lint he had only stated thn view* which should govern himself. Mr W. disclaimed all pe, liiicnl feeling. It wns remarked on Mr. W. taking Ills seat lint there was no motion before thn Holts'-, A motion was then made to ngreo to the report, when Mr. Gihson, nf Upson, rose and remarked that Im wns in favor of basing thn Snnate upon ter ritory, If he onuld bnso tlie representation of tho House upon population.

He was ready, however, to to take Into consideration, the three element* of reprosontulionT-'populatiop, territory, nnd toxni tlon. M. Dnvi*,nfL«;-, observed that he viewed him self us instructed by thepeople. not by tlm legislature, to carry nut tbo objects of the act. Mr. D.said that the plan proposed gave the large counties 29 iu tho Senate, nnd the small cnUntics 17. It will not bo denied that the larger counties havo the majority in tho House. Mr. Battle, nf Marion, rose nnd said that before ho stated his views, he wj-lied to disabuse the mind of every member, so far as to assure them that ho wn# nn attorney, that ho hnd not rea-i law, never rend h page in a Inw book. He represented with two others, the whole people of Marian county.—* That people did recognize the act a* n law. If it is a law, nil wo have to do Is to connect two counties to gether. Bat it is not n law. If the net be law, equalisation is required by tho art, and that is ef fected hy connecting two counties together. Mr. Echols suggested that the subject before the convention wns tho formation of forty six Senatorial districts, The chnir snid thnt the gentleman wns explaining. Mr. Battle proceeded, nnd advocated tlie plan of Mr. Stephens, nnd remarked thnt aSon* ator could not represent Marion county, and Mus cogee county too, at aft times. It was the palladi um uf lil-erty to change representation. Mr. Battlo having proceeded to the desk for r document, Mr. Scnrlott addressed the chair. Tha chairman remarked that the gentleman from Ma rion hnd the floor. Mr Scarlett olwcrved—J thought he had dune, sir. [A laugh.] MiySiittlo proceeded to nrguo thnt Mugcogro qnd Marioq might hove different interests. Then Muscogco would send thu Senator, while the Senator from Mr* rion would no longer come to the Legislature a^ the expense of the Stnto. He feared thnt he would be irksome to the audience, but ho felt on obligation on him which drove nwny timidity. He had not ri sen to make a speech. He spoke not for fame,bu{ he believed he hnd rational powers. If they adop ted the plan, ho would say to 5!ariqn county, when lie returned—hang your hgrp* upon the willows, foe your liberties have fled. Mr. B. drew R woful pic, tun? of the bickerings which would arise between Muscogee and Marion. Ho remarked that there are thousand* of men who desire office and one man would point to another— 1 " that man has the confidence of tho people. I shall never get a seat in the Legislature." The greatest argumept urged against Democracies, said Mr. B., is that theyAns two unwieldy, but this is a wieldy Democracy, $fr, Stephens' plan.) Mr. Battle battled for nearly en iiour, and at tho conclusion of his remarks was ap plauded by the gallery, Mr. Hull considered himself instructed by his constituents t<; oppose tha plan of Senatorial Dis tricts from tyv<> contiguous counties, as be had n heard one individual at home speak in favo? of the] plan. Mr. H. advocated the plan of the ten judicial circuits being formed into Senatorial Districts, four] Senator* from each. lie remarkod that there would] be more intelligence in the Senate, and that the r lation of the two political parties would be ji as four of the circuits were in favor of on* of U parties, four in favor of th# other, and the other t? circuits may be coosidered doubtful, one now b ’
