Mr.: Tyler then rose and adverted in
very handsome and eloquent terms to
tho objects of tho meeting. He took q
conde used view Of tho situation Of the
country in relation to the approaching
presidential election; Of the necessity OF
harmony, DC. among the great republi.
can family throughout the nation and
especially in Virginia. He sdverted to
our former concert Of action, and con.
iured the meeting to sacri6ce on the
present occasion, every thing like ssc-
tional feeling, every thing like person.
al partiality and prejudice, on the altar
of our country's good. Virginia. he
said, had always acted with concert and
with unanimity, and he fervestly no.
ped she would do SO at the present
highly important crisis. He called the
attention of tho meeting to the pro.
csedings in our sister states, who were
preparing to exert their whole and un.
divided strength in the coming contest
land concluded BY moving tho ap-
pointm Of committee to bring 10
Resolutions suited to the occasion,
A committee was then appoint.
ed, whose names appear in the official
account of the Proceedings. They re.
tired forthwith to one Of the Commit.
tee roows, and after short absence re.
turned, and Mr.. Tyler made, their Re.
port.
