the promincn, leading " liz State of the
North. without concert, or any collision
whatever, should at, or about the same
time. adopt resolutions in reference to
mn all-imporian, and exciting question,
entirely harmonious with each o'hcr,-

recently made on the part of The Wings
Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Vermont TO

Of the resolutions adopted, says:
