self. The Telegraph says:
;VIn what are we to to be ben-
oiled by the Constitution which

vention f Where are the bless-
ings which will be conferred up-
on ,us by the new organic law,

is. upon each separate block thus

part and parcel of the constitu-
tional: mosaic, and there is no
unanimity amoug the members
of the Convention upon what
should be or what should not lie,
so far as the balance of the ma-
teria) is concerned, necessary to
complete the work. A Conven-
tion against the encouragement
