[86] The committee consisted of Gerry, Ellsworth, Yates, Patterson, Franklin, Bedford, Martin, Mason, Davie, Rutledge, and Baldwin. [87] The committee was appointed on the 2d of July, and made their report on the 5th. The Convention in the interval transacted no business. [88] See further as to this exclusive power of the House, _post._ [89] Madison, Butler, Gouverneur Morris, and Wilson. [90] Five States voted to retain it, three voted against it, and three were divided. This was treated as an affirmative vote. Elliot, V. 255. [91] Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, _ay_ 6; Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina, _no_,3; Massachusetts, Georgia, divided. Ibid. 285, 286. [92] Gouverneur Morris, Gorham, Randolph, Rutledge, and King. [93] They gave to New Hampshire, 2; Massachusetts, 7; Rhode Island, 1; Connecticut, 4; New York, 5; New Jersey, 3; Pennsylvania, 8; Delaware, 1; Maryland, 4; Virginia, 9; North Carolina, 5; South Carolina, 5; Georgia, 2. [94] Elliot, V. 287, 288.

[99] Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, _ay_, 6; Delaware, Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia, _no_, 4. The votes of South Carolina and Georgia were given in the negative, because they desired that the blacks should be included in the census equally with the whites. For the same reason, as we shall see presently, those States voted against the other branch of the proposition, which would give but three fifths of the slaves. But upon what principle, unless it was from general opposition to all numerical representation, the State of Delaware should have voted with them on both of these features of the proposed census, is, I confess, to me inexplicable. [100] Connecticut, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, _ay_, 4; Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, South Carolina, _no_, 6. South Carolina voted in the negative, for a reason suggested in the previous note, _ante_, p. 153.
