though he heartily concurs with them In that
opposition-and declining to accept the ap-
pointment Of Delegate in the Convention to be
held in Richmond on the s,h Jan. next on the
superstition that the dissent expires sed may rem
der such course most agreeable to this COM
mittee-t(e committee have no hesitation in
declaring, that it never could have been the in.
tention Of the meeting to require Of their de-
legates conformity to any political creed
save only hearty CO operation in that para

The invitation to that meeting was addressed
to all those opposed TO The election of Gen jackson;
and the committee are well aware, that among
those who composed the meeting, there were
persons ofevery political denomination: inelud-
lug as well those who approve the course Of
policy pursued by the administration, as those
who give their support to the present incum-
bent as The only means OF warding off greater
evil. The committee conceive that the pream.
bic and resolutions, by asliberal construction,
contain nothing at variance with these princi-
plies; and if any expressions may have inadver-
ten,iy crept into them, which seem TO lead to
different conclusion, they would have been
yielded up in moment, if any objection had
been made. The object Of the meeting was
great national one The whole American peo-
pie are invited to unite in it, by high consider
atoms, b fore which the little shades OF opini-
on dwindle into insigni6ance
The committee therefore conceive, that the
scruples Of Mr.. Johnson being found upon the
misapprehension Of the views of the meeting, II
is their duty to remove. these; oneoua impress
