cd to meet the question then the ensuing ay for
all the circumstances strong in his recollection
aud he really believed nothing would be GAINED bv
poning It, lie thought the question should be met fully
by the Convention unless in the language John Gum
cy Adams, 1T was intended TO ''dOdc it. He feared at
there was not time enter into fully and that the
W OF gentlemen TO go home wonld initiate against him
and his friends, and would be inucement to prevent

that was not the wish of his colleagues ncrposc any

Tity, they would abide by IT,
Mr. Bell of Pennsy vana assured the Convention thai
hnse ana those who acted with HIM would agree any
