from that State who had addressed the meeting
were Judge Robbins and Mr. Webster that they
were both here by special invitation from himself,
which invitation he had given them during the
Springfield Convention, that whatever blame at
tached 10 their being present, he was responsible
for
Upon the call of the meeting Judge Robbins
and Mr.. Webster, each appeared on the stand
and in most emphatic manner possible repudiated
the charge. They deemed its truth and defed their
biterest opponents to produce single act Of their
lives justilying the occasion.
On motion it was resolved that the thanks OF
the Convention he rendered to the citizens OF
Rochepor and the adjoining country, for the
kind and hospitable treatment shown TO the
members OF the Convention.
The letter of Mr. Mills was then read, the
