**  Tbe  council  shall  have  the  power  to  inter-
rupt any  debate,  for  the  purpose  of  proposina
to  the  convention  any  other  business  wfaicS
they  may  think  mora  urgent;  but  the  presi-
dent shali  take  the  sensewthe  convention  by
a  show  of  hands,  wbethcr  the  debate  shaU  te
interrupted  or  not"  Here  you  see  this  is  the
greater  part  of  their  duty,  to  judge  of  nick
motions  as  were  laid  before  them.;  if  <hey
were  nugatory,  they  were  to  inform  the  ifet^
son  who  brought  them  of  it;  if  otherwise,
they  were  to  indorse  them  on  the  back;  they
were  to  hand  the  motion  to  the  president ;  be
was  to  read  it  to  the  convention,  and  then  the
vote  of  the  convention  vras  to  determine  whe-
ther tbe  business  was  of  sufficient  conse^^
quence  to  depart  ftom  the  order  of  the  day.
Then  follows  an  article  which  gives  great
umbn^  to  those  who  are  frightened  at  evary
thing  that  fooks  like  French.  It  b  the  head
of  sections.  We  had  the  name  of  divisionsL
and  of  classes;  but  no  name  which  was  agreed
toby  every  body;  at  last,  section  was  agreed
to  fy  a  great  majority ;  and  we  thought  no
omre  of  the  French  convention  at  that  time,
than  we  did  of  our  new  ally,  the  gnmdTurk.
