As some Of the reporters have made sIieht
typographical e1rors In the resolutions Of the i
lust Union Convention Of Cook county, sub.
stitustng the word rigorous" for avigorous"
in the first resolution, and "the sIaves'' for
their slaves" in the Last, I aak you to pub
1ith the original as adopted, which I hand ron
herewith. And as the reporters have omitted
1t, hope you Will state that the time for
resolutions Was sgreed upon when the Com
mittee on Resolutions was appointed. Its
Chairman, hon. Mr.. Linder. offered to the
Convention seriea Of resolutions, which on
motion, were referred to the committee, to
report after We should have made the nomi-
natio-s, 1t being stated that they would cause
diecueeion, and consume much time, which
would be unfair to delegates from the country
who might not wish to remain.
When the Convention divided to nominate
candidates for the Constitutional convention,
the Chair distinctly announced that 1t would
nominations were made
After The Convention, In pursuance Of this
announcement, was called to order, and at
the time fixed upon, these resolutions were
unanimously adopted. No one can say that
they were not fairly passed, nor that they
do not embo5y the true sentiments Of nearly
all Of the loyal people Of the county.
