was frequently interrupted with loud ap-
plause, that seemed as if it would shake
the building to its foundation. The Con-

gether, report that they were unable to
accomplish anything, as the pressure of
the crowd was so great that they were un-
able to keep the space clear for the dele
gates.
1t being impossible for the delegates to
consult together, being scattered through
the immense mass of the people present,

sion, that the Convention should adjourn
to the Athenum, the place of meeting in
the forenoon.
