If thmse s anythtlg to the wr d wOJ4 the of this State care nothing aboar, It is I result of the vote on the usettae tioual anents.

The difficulty In which 8seciatary tong finds himself, and his confessed too bliity to reach any concluslon that he feels aJfL ed in formally protmulgating, I1 not Without precedent. In fact, the almost unl -rval experienos has boon that the aidsend sagt of constitutions at a geweral elee * as, and by a popular vote, is utterly Im prac iable. The attempt has been reportedly s Ioe, and has almost lnvarte ble b'en attend. eld with failure and lnextricable conMelon, oat of which it was Impcaslulh to evolve any reliable conclusion as to what was the honest will of the people. In New York the eaperiment was tried and falli 1.

The same provisfi exitte In Sear constitution, and the point woudki be is valid here as in Mississilppl. But we need not go abroad for prec donts. treaoselythe samedlffcnlty decretary t trong iads himself confronted with was pro-euted str .the election of 1870, when.sj committee of the Nicholls Legislature, oomp sed of some o the ablest men in that body;, ongessed Measuelves utterly unable to etive it, and were has never been a promulgation.of the Mitd of the vote on the amend ment. sub .Mtted at that election.
