wean ee ; i ConstiruTioNAL AMENDMENTS.—-The question has been frequently discussed in times past, how far the Lezislature in conjunction with the people, can go in effecting constitational amendments. — . By some it is contended the powers of the Legislature are unlimited in the matter or making propositions to amend, to be acted upon by the peopie. Others believe that radical changes belong only tothe people in constitutional convention assembled, and that such was the design of the getters up of our present constitution. -—“PUBLISHED BY— P.

By some it is contended the powers of the Legislature are unlimited in the matter or making propositions to amend, to be acted upon by the peopie. Others believe that radical changes belong only tothe people in constitutional convention assembled, and that such was the design of the getters up of our present constitution. -—“PUBLISHED BY— P.
