tions, which he preiaced by some remarks ex-
planning their character and object:
Whereas, by reason OF the untoward results
of the Military Convention which lately met in
this city, many of the officers of the volunteer
corps deemed 1t due to their self-respect to re-
sign their commlssions-wh said resigna-
tons were unanimously approved of and iusti-
fled by their respective commands, of which
we, the delegates here assembled, formed a
part and whereas, although we have not
changed our views with regard to the necessity
OF SAID designations, we now believe it would
be most beneficial TO the volunteer militia of
this city, whose interest and welfare we have
most deeply at heart, for said officers to resume
their commissions; and whereas, the situation
/ of our foreign relations is such, that we know
not at what time we may be called upon to de-
tend our common country; and believing that
its main reliance is upon the discipline and cou-
rage Of its citizen soldiery, within whose ranks
we are proud to be enrolled; and having the
most implicit confidence in the patriotism, skill
and abilities of our hate officers notwithstand-
ing the base ISLANDERS and malicious misrepre-
sensations to which they have been subjected;
therefore,
Be it unanimously resolved, That our late
officers be earnestly requested to resume their
commissions, aud once more take the command
OF those who are ready and willing TO prove
their obedience and devotion by sacrifice of
personal feeling to a sense of public duty due
the commonwealth
After short conversational debate, the re-
solution was adopted without a dissenting
voice. Mr.. Kenly also submitted the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted with the
same unanmty.
Resolved, That a copy of the aforegoing pre-
ambe and resolution be transmitted to each of
the companies represented in this convention
The meeting then adjourned.
