' | The Committee on Federal Relations, to whom were yoferred “Joint Resolutions of the General Assembly on the %xhu of the people of the scveral States comprising the United States, srted through their Chairman, the Hon.

Yet your Committee cannot admit, but rather wholly deny that the conielusion which the resolutions aim 1o establisii are in the remotest point of view wither a fair practical o logieal deduc tion from the recognition of any or all of such abstruet prin- | ciples. ‘The manuer of proposing amendments to the Consti- tution of the United States and the mode of their submission for the action of the several States arc involved in neither doubt nor uneertainty. Article Vth of that justrument is framed in language of ensy interpretation. By the provisions of the Constitution it will be observed that Congress is author sed 1o adopt either of two modes by which amendments shall bo submisted for the cosideration and action of the respective States. With rogard to the amendioent re- cently communicated by his Excellency the Governor of this State to the two Honses of the present General Assem Submit- by, Congress has m its election and tod it Tn the first mode preseribed, clearly au unmistakably indicating submission there 0 u direct vote of the people w. expected nor eontem- plated, for it reasouably occurs to your Committee, if wuch had son the design, wish or purpose of Cougress, the latter mode or that by Convention would have been chosen and proposed. ‘The Commmittee are therefore of opinion that from_wo- tives n{mgriny a8 well us courtesy toward the General Gov erument, it 19 o plain and palpable duty which this L. owes to itself and the requirements of the Federal Constitution that it should promptly consider and aet wpon the pr amendwent a8 wisdom apd patriotism way direct. The ex- pedis .{, 1f not the nodessity, of such action recommends itself £ o Committee the more impressively from o belief that a submission of the subject to a populax voté is neither expected nor desired from the people I\ fubaua, aid siso from tho fact that the adoption of suck a course would he at once impractica- blo and wholly fruitiess of deiinite results. To the Legislature at last would revert the business of ratify. :f or rejecting the proposed awendment. Congress has re- ved thus, and the Legislature of Alabaiua neitler dele- gate its duty nor transfer the exercise of its funetions, in this yegard, to any other power.
