The permanent Constitution.

--In the Alabama State Convention a strong debate arose as to the propriety of recommending that another Convention of the People be called to ratify or reject the Constitution. A test vote, however, decided against calling a new Convention by ayes 34, nays 45. Without ratifying, and to allow all to discuss its merits, the further consideration of the subject was postponed. The Louisiana Convention has before it an ordinance submitting the permanent Constitution of the Southern Confederacy to a vote of the people. It meets with much opposition.
