It would be competent for the Convention itself to do what is here proposed, if they saw fit — and they would be the best judges of the expediency of such a policy, acting in full view of the events which shall present themselves at that time.

Middlesex Village (Massachusetts, United States) (search for this): article 3
Mr. Rives said the discussion had taken a very wide range, embracing the Constitution, Union, and other miscellaneous topics. He had heard a great deal of the "Union;" but had heard but little of the Constitution, and our rights under it, in connection therewith. He offered, in the way of argument, a proposition that when the people came to vote on the question of a Convention, they should indicate whether they were willing or not to stay in the Union under Lincoln. Mr. Evans, of Middlesex, said enough time had been consumed already in discussion, and he would, therefore, call the previous question. The call being sustained, the Speaker stated the main question, which was on the adoption of Mr. Duckwall's amendment to the amendment or Mr. Keen. It was defeated. The question recurring on the adoption of Mr. Keen's amendment, he called the yeas and nays, which were ordered, with the following result: Yeas.--Messrs.
