RHODE TsLAND.-The Rhode Island Con
yention [Landholdersl for framing a
new Constitution for the State, met at
Newport and organized on the 18th ult.
The report Of ther first days procced-
ings, published in the Providence Chroni
Gle, shows that there is anything but a
good understanding between the mems
hers as to what shall be the basis Of the
new Constitution. The first article Ia
ken up for consideration, which, il wonld
appear from the report, embodies one OF
the essential principles Of government,
produced a very acrimonious debate
the opponents denouncing it in the most
unmeasured terms Of reprehension. =
one Of them, Mr. Childs, Of Ports
mouth, ''shudjered to hear the section
read; he was in st. Domingo in 1890
during their revolution, and their watch.
word among the revoIutionistst there was
precisely the same as the substance oil
this section, and he, for one, had no idea
Of Incorporating any such doctrines in
the new Constitution" What the pur.
port ofthis terrible section was, does mo-
appear, but we infer from the debate
that it set forth the right Of the people
10 change their government. Whatever
it was, il was advocated as warmly as /


was opposed. No final disposition wa.
made Of i before adjournment.
