The Committee appointed TO assign seats to

ported that they had performed the duty AS
signed to them, AID had made such assign
mcut.
/ Vi. Pcndlrton. Of Ohio. remarked, that it
wa, impossible for any gentleman, sitting I'M
der the Eastern gallery, to hear word, and
/
which the delegations sitting under that gale
~ should be allowed to occupy seats in the
/ main body Of the Church.
Mr.. Conrad, Of Va, said if that suggestion
was adopted all the pews in the main body Of
| the Church would have TO be occupied. II was
desirable that the body of the Convention
should be as compact as possible and therefore
it was better that the side pcws should be oc-
cupied.
! Rev. Dr. Mead, Of Conn, remarked that
I gentlemen would find al;ei two or three days
that a. many of the dele cations were not full
and two pcws had been assigned to a deleGa-
ton, those occupying the side pews could IN.
! formally occupy seats in the main body.

nal course which HAD been suggested he pro-
posed to have the order OF the Convention 10
