In view of the magnitude and Importance osthe

is believed can be accomplished thereby, your con-

that il is our duty to place in she field in addition
to DR.. VIM. Henry Brisbane, at least three other
able, eloquent, and energetic speakers, who shall
spend as much Of the coming eight N ,ntas as pos
sible in csnvsssng the State, in speaking to tho

In reference to the best means of procuring the
necessary means Of compromising SAID speakers,
your committee are not so clear; bui that the
required amount can be raised, if arne silly resolved
upon, we have no doubt. Granting that the end
desired is right one our faith in principle should
not be so weak to question its practicable attain
ment.
As to the best method which suggests itself
your committee recommend that the committee ap-
pointed to procure speakers, be also charged with
the duty of raising the amount of funds required,
by such means as to them may seem best
Your committee cannot doubt but there are
hundreds, and even Thousands, Of true hearted men
IN OR ranks, who, for the success OF the work, viii
most cheerfully contribute their os, l0's 20s, or
zoos They will doit, ana they feel that they have
made an Investment which will yield to them
glorious future revenue.
