Whether the organization now formed
will be as efficient as some other might
have been, it remains to be judged of, from
what it accomplishes. 1t was my own
opinion-aud l was not exactly alone in it

be more efficient than the "Committee y
will be, on account of the unWieldiness of
the latter. The majority, however. thought
otherwise, and the experiment will have to
be made to determine it,
had 1t in mind TO make some stricturas
on certain parts of the proceedings but +
have reached home at so late an hour tha,
there WILDE neither time nor room, this
week; and so many other things have ac-
cumulated in my absence to occupy ne Vt
week, that probably there will be an indef-

There was a large amount of interestino
dlscusslon-besldes several eloquent and
searching addresses, which it would have
been useful TO report; but nv EMPLOYMENT,
as Secretary of the Convention, prevented
my taking the necessary notes. The Con
Vention was, as view it, an important one
and | trust much good will result from il.
with the blessing of God, TO the cause OF
bleeding humanity & outraged christianity.
