q wicked rebellion Is in Our lard. They had
come not alone to select delegates to a conyen-

strengthen the hands OF the Government in its
efforts to put down the rebellion II must not
be said that they had no influence, every man
welded an influence, and he who fails TO exert
that influence in favor of his government is a
traitor. They had met with disposition to
harInonize on the selection Of good men who
would receive the support OF all. They were
Gil pledged against any SchiSn in their ranks
and they must abide the decision Of the con-
rrnlion. If they were TO split among them
selves, then Will their enemies take advantage

b. sure 10 succeed.
