ed viz Messrs Ballard and Dean.
While the Committees were consulting the Conyen
ton was eoquently addressed by Dr. LOOMS, of West
moreland who frequently interrupted by uenen
dous applause. The Doctor showed the position that
the Wing Party had always taken upon tbs question OF
of Freedom, and then showed the presen. position Of

most clearly that the Free soil Wings stand upon the
same ground that party has always stood upon AT
the close Of his speech the Committee Address re
ported and it unanimously adopted. CThe Address

suited from his defeat and that the rejection OF HESKY
