Others spprehensve Of such danger feel that the re-
strctons proposed to be removed insults and nju

Christianity which all would gladly see remsdied. He
felt that the vote was taken upon the resolution the
moral effect Of this movement would be neutrazed BY
having divided vote. His object in rising was 70 pre-
sent plan which would be acted upon unanimously and
tho great difficulty in the natter no understood lay
here: We're they body Of American citizens, assembled
in convention for any other purpose than religious one
he had doubt that it would accord with the sense Of
proprey Of every member hero that they might address
themselves tho Chief Executive Of their country But
the misfortune was that the only sort Of convention which
in the constitution in unrecognized is an assemblags Of
portion Of the American citizens together the repre-
scntatves Of any particular religious body The constu
ton ignores religious conventions 1t recognizes political
conventions and any memorial that might go from them
would command due weight But q religious

which touches our feelings let each individual Impress upon

Mr. WELSH, Of Pa, opposed to the amendment and

Objectionable They affirm as tho motive for action

treaties II so happens that have treaty with Spain
which entities us q reside in their sand and there

citizens But when observe the fact Of the
difference Of our religion from others that this
right or any other which might be deemed consequent
upon it, does not operate equally upon ALL If Roman

member that, as Church, we are prescribed and he
would suggest the best course would be to ask simply
one pase OF worship in the Island OF Cuba at the
city Of Havana and also the right Of Christian burial and
the deportation without heavy exactions of those who
there These the three object al which the resolu
ton aims ana ne thought they ought to require these
rights IN reference to the whole Island the resolution
would imply He proposed the following resolution by
way Of substitute for the last offered by DR. Hawks

think they ought be accomplished through that Con

natural right that their dead should be dcported or
buried with Christian burial He would not ask to pro-
pagae their political system in the Island of Cuba

he was not sure but that they he Cubsns) had right
unoer we Jaw OF nations to preserve their religion,
would maintain their own right to the possession of their
people, living or dead This in his opinion would be the
proper course to adopt rather pursue that which
was proposed by the resolutions
