THE STATE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION Tho Report of the Committee Debate on the Subject of the Canals. ‘SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. * Armast, Jupe 3, 1867. ‘The Convention was sealously at work during the whole of to-day’s semion, perfecting the pian for the Government and order of its sittings, The special busi- Rese under consideration was the report of the Com- mittee of Sixteen on the Mode of Procedure, which @ave rise to lengthy and very animated debate. The Proposition for the appointment of a committee on the @ubject of the Siale canais occasioned, as might have Ween expected, very warm divoustion. The fact indl- qates the asperity which will prevail in the deliberations @f the body when the topic '# moro directly reached, ‘THe GOVERNOR AND HIE PARTY. Last winter I told you of the ambition an@ intrigues of ‘Governor Fenton in connection with the poultice of the Blate and country. His sucsoss then proved Inia one of the ablest strategists who have iatety exerted their powers in the campaign of polities and, if 1 am mot very much mistaken, the future wil! show that ho will, act to. tho end the idle of o most skilfut and successful politician, Events indicate ‘that ip the present Convention be has shaped his course for the realization of some of his darling projects. He ‘bas jont arrived from bis ural baliday and will not mo wo Europe, as bas been stated. He is here in the capital, and his infivence will be felt throughout its deliberations, In the republican caveas which was held just previous to the meeting of the Convention it was the Governor's par'y which came off victorious, It was the Governor's party which nowinated, and therefore ciected, the President of the Convention. Other farts seem to indi- ate that the Governor bas strengthened the power of Bie faction by a magnificent op.

You may judge whether this ori- \ginates in a sincero desire to eschew politics in she nction j@f the'Vonvention, or whether it is the result of » policy devided upon in the frat-raizing of the two elements already’ reférred to. “The Governor's triends stand by ‘him vaflinchingly. To the consideration of the roles yesterday an attempt was made to strike out entirely the order 6f businese—‘‘messages from the Governor’ —bdut }it was! overwhelmingly voted down, An amendment, however, was suffered to prevail, Changing the expres- sion 00 as to read ‘communications from the Gover- “mor,” an alteration which does not prevent the Ex- ecutive from holding direct intercourse with thé Convention or making suggestions in furihernoce of his ends, The democratic threat, therefore, to take ypart inl the deliberations nly a & Corps uf obse-¥ation, now. bereft of all menace, In fact, the repuuintion of Brooke’ epeech amounts to e virtual declaration of what hax been etated above, vis:—Tiat toe democratic mem- ‘Ders wit enter fuily and heartily with the Governor's Po of the powors of Btete gov en Bete cn mee al nights ‘Sy thas panty, while Ne neo tee Ooraene tae made tie nole head of the State goverameni, clothed with, andividual powers and authority in its administration, ‘The patronage of offices whieh this will give bim and ‘the vast influence it will confor upon bim asa leading wind Ubroughout the State, will euapte him to demand ‘we Vice Presidency on the next repudl can Presidentiai ticket, THR LEADERSHIP OF THR CONVESTION, ‘The post of champion on tho respective sides of the Douse ia a8 yet undecided.
