THE CONVENTION.
The Convention has succeeded in pass
ing several amendments in committee ot
the whole, and wo have every reason to
bclicvo that thoy will pass finally and be
submitted to tho people for -adoption-or re
jection. 1 ho following comprise an the
.alterations which havo been made:
The Senatorial term reduced to 3 years.
Tho General Election to be one week la
ter.
The Governor to Lc limited to two terms
of 3 years each.
The advice and consent 3f the Senate to
be necessary to nearly all appointments
made by the Governor.
Persons having left the State and return
ed to it rriay be elected to the Legislature af
ter one .year s residence heretofore 3 years
was required;
No Senatorial district to have more than
two members, unless composed of a single
city df county.
The Legislature to meet on the 1st Tucs
day of January, instead of Dcceiriber-and
to adjourn on the first Thursday in April.
Wc arc also gratified to learn from our
I.Harrisbu'rg correspondent that on Wcdncs
day last the 3d article was disposed of in
Committee of the whole-, Which so re-mod
els It as to allow persons to vote on one
year's residence, (or six months if he had
been before a voter,) by paying state or
county tax, which must bo assessed ten
- - -
days before the election; This amend-
mcnt carried by a vdto of 99 to M. The
Democrats going en masse for it, as the on
ly alternative to procure a favorable altera
tion.
On Thursday the convention prdeccded
to the consideration of tho Gth article. They
amended the first section so as to reunify
the election of but one Sheriff andoneCori
oner, instead bftwoas fdrmcrlyj and they
have altered the 3d section as follows
The Supreme Court to appoint their Clerk
for three years; Prothonotaries, Registers,
Recorders, Clerks of courts, &c. to be elec
ted by the people; and vacancies to be fil
led by the Governor until the next general
clcctiom
Wc regret that the favor df our Corres
pondent came too late for entire publication
m this paper, as it exhibits the course pur
sued on the various questions by our dele
gates.
EC7riic Commissioners for the West
Branch Bank at Williamsport have adverti
sed for a meeting of tho Board to elect di-
icctors and officers. So that; notwithstand
ing "the
pressure" created by '-the Gov-
eminent" the Whig and Antimasonic stock
holders have bceii able; agreeably to the
provisions of their charter, to raise 6100,000
in specici Wo presume this is one reason
why a ndighbouring Bank telusds tb pay
out specie "for the purposes of change,"
as many of the principal managers in it
aro said to have made extensive purchases
of stock in the West Branch concern. Wc
may, however, labourunder a mistaken jdea
of matters; as possibly the Commissioners,
tin meeting, may suggest tho inexpediency
of letting the Bank go into operation at all,
on account of the, non-disposal of the stock
