Stanton the friends OF Convention should leas,
te'tan the idea OF posPoning further until after

W. DORIAN stated that 1t was the Acknowledged policy
scmo'a at Siannon were OF that oPaion and he thought
1t scarcely less 'nau madness 70 press T. at 'h.s lie
would therefore so lay the the table

nn and appropriate means doing 50 than that

was TO be ogau2cd at all; but merely ubr.t the plain
aud tangible question OF Convention Con, TO
the pie, that c be enabled make strong.
or and more vigorous effort, having the sanction o the will

Mr.. JoNEs OF Chesterfield, understood the resolution as
insrucung the Committee 20 report specific bill, and this
hl the offspring U the mover Of the resolution without
allowing tire Committee any discretion m regard 10 the
PROPHECY or mpgop yiy of reporting such ball. This he
thought very strange proceeding ind ccd 10 regard
