Others, is only possible, We suppose, in the rCek-

Comnenting upon the efforts made in OF her
sections Of the South to return u delegation to

speaks:-
This action is plainly inconsistent with q full
approval ol the position taken at Charleston. II
that be right why return to their seats deserted :?
a Why attempt again to accomplish what proved
! under more favorable auspices an utter failure 7
q IL any compromise offered by the majority? Have
they promised 70 recede from their position and
I mite on more desirable platform? No one now
dreams Of such result, and the suggestion D,ade
here and elsewhere TO send delegates to Bal
