 Mir. Parrish moved to amend the bill by fixing the time on the second Monday of Dec. His reasons for the change are, that an ex- citement on that day will be produced, and the freemen will come forward with improp- CT motives. The minds of the people ought to he fully expressed on this subject, and consequently free from all extrane0us infiu- ence. On the second Monday of December, towDmeetIngs are generally attended through out the State.

 MT. T. s. Perkins and MT. Boardman said they wished as far as possible the real expres- sion of the public will. If only few turn out, it will be said it is no test of public senti- ment. The presidential election is an impor- tant occasion, therefore more will attend than at any other time. The presidential election will not produce the excitement Mir. P. sup poses. There will be no necessity for any quarrel. SIC. There will be no debate, and their minds will be made up before they meet The saving of time is of some moment. De- celnber is an indictment season, when but few will turn out to the polls. Amendment lost bill passed.
