Mr. WOOLFOLK, from the Committee on Printing, presented the following report and resolution which were adopted:

The Committee on Printing beg leave to report that, in accordance with instructions, the Secretary of the Convention has had the printing, required by the Convention, executed by George Knapp, & Co., the expense for which has been less than two hundred dollars.

The Committee also report, that in accordance with the resolution proposed by Mr. Dunn on the 9th of March, and which was adopted by the Convention,they contracted with George Knapp & Co., to print the proceedings of the Convention, at rates not to exceed five hundred dollars, for five thousand copies of one

hundred pages. At the time the contract was made, it was thought that not more than one hundred pages would be required; but as the proceedings are now nearly printed, they will extend over about two hundred and fifty pages. As a book of reference the committee deem it invaluable. The proof sheets have been submitted to the members interested, for revision, and it will be the only authorized record for public use of the proceedings of the Convention.

The committee respectfully ask that their action be endorsed by the Convention, and that the following resolution be adopted:

Resolved, That the account of George Knapp & Co., for printing five thousand copies of the proceedings of the Convention, be audited by the Commitee on Accounts, and that the same be considered as printing for the Convention, the payment for which, is provided for out of the funds appropriated by the Legislature of the State, for the contingent expenses of the Convention.

Mr. WELCH offered the following resolution, which was rejected:

Resolved, That if the Legislature of this State, shall, at or about the time designated in the sixth resolution of the majority eport of the Committee on Federal Relations, be called to meet, either by a resolution of adjournment, or by proclamation of the Governor, then, and in that event, the committee provided for in the seventh resolution, is hereby authorized to change the time and place of the meeting of this Convention, to such other time and place as said committee may deem most suitable, and shall notify each member of the time and place so selected.

On motion of Mr. Wright.

Resolved, That the resolution of this committee requesting the General Assembly of this State to call for a national Convention in pursuance of the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, be communicated officially by the President of this Convention, to the Legislature of this State.
