solutions were adopted requesting Governor Fletcher to
withdraw the troops authorised at the late session of the
Legislature,-declaring that it is unconstitutional for a State
to keep troops in service in time of war without the con-
sent of Congress, except when actually invaded or in immi-
nent' clanger. Indorsing President Johnson's action in re-
lation to the Freedmen's Bureau and Civil Rights Bills,
and in other measures adopted by him for the restoration
of tho Union ; condemning the effort of Congress to amend
the Constitution while one-third of tho States aro unre-
presented; protesting against the attempt to have the
amendment ratified by Legislattues elected one or two
years ago, and heartily approving of the course of Repre-
sentatives Hogan and Noell in Congress. The Conven-
tion elected four persons from each Congressional Dis-
trict, and nine from the State large, as delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention.
