nohingness which must write, when setting out TO be
esbofately nlsome The article, If IL had point In view,
was designed to rally the edeaiss Of this State for the

that the State convention meeting called to as
semble shortly afterwards at Syracuse, taking the mat

respected uness they the time undertake to lay

postponed until the 20h in order TO give the Utica Conven
ton the opportunity to previously act upon the proposition

union is wel.ngh unanimous among the masses--no one
democratic in forty being opposed to future joint

pie.
