So the question upon its adoption was decided in the
affirmative.
The question recurring upon the second clause of the pre-
amble, to wit:
''And whereas, the experience of the past two weeks now
clearly shows that the presence of such persons in our midst
in time of war is no longer to be tolerated, and justice to
ourselves, our families and our country, no less than to weak
minded disloyalists themselves, the only hope of whose re-
clamation is in a vigorous policy, requires that the sternest
justice should at once be meted out to those who persistently
refuse to obey the laws, and the active and dangerous class be
separated from the peaceable and loyal, by the exercise of the
undoubted power of the Government to arrest and detain
dangerous persons during times of war; "
It was decided in the affirmative.
The Convention then proceeded with the consideration of
the Report of the Committee on the Legislative Depart-
ment.
The question being on the adoption of the amendment
submitted by Mr. Ridgely, to wit:
Section 42, line 1, after the word "shall, " insert the words
"after the expiration of all the existing bank charters; "
It was decided in the negative.
