{"value"=>"Mason's letter to John Lamb, chairman of the federal republican committee in that city, has been transmitted to some members of the Convention; they think well of Mason's proposed amendments, and have appointed a committee, of which Yates is chairman, to correspond further on this subject; they have agreed to discuss the Constitution in committee of the whole, without putting a question on any part, but suggesting the amendments or explanations that they think necessary; they have a majority of two to one against the Constitution, and there is no fear that a change can be effected in their sentiments; they are determined not to adopt it without previous amendments."}
