ReSolped, That the Convention now
proceed to the appointment of a COM
mittee on Resolutions and an address
10 consist of two members from each
State and the District of Columbia, to
be selected by the respective State del
egations, and that all resolutions de-
claratory Of principles be referred to
the committee on Resolutions without
debate.
General Hamilton moved to strike
out the last clause Of the resolution,
to refer the resolutions without de-
bate.
A lengthy discussion occurred, pro
and con, which ended with cries Of
question, question" On the motion
to strike out the words without debate,
the question was put, the amendment
was carried and the resolution adopt
cd.
Mr.. Hugh L. Bond, of Baltimore, Of
fered the following:
ReSoIued, That this Convention urge
the loyal men of the North to support
tho Congress Of the United States in
demanding Of the Southern States the
wise guarantees Of the constitutional
amendments, passed by Congress and
call upon the patriotic men of the 10y
al States to use every exertion to Sc
cure the ratification Of the amendment
Iby their States and that, as we be-
love, the justice we meto shall be the
measure Of our safety, in our opinion
there can be no permanent peace or Sc.
curity for the loyal m9n Of the South
without resort to negro suffrage.
Mr.. Scotfcrd, of Alabama, inquired
if that resolution was in the form of in
struction.
Mr.. Thomas said the first part of the
resolution meet the unanimous appro
baton of the Maryland delegation, the
latter did not.
! A delegate moved 10 strike out the
word "negro" before suffrage, and in
scrt the word "equal."
| The Chair said the resolution had
already been referred.
Mr.. Thomas hoped it would be again
brought before the Convention for dis
cussion. He was as strong in the ad
vocacy Of Union principles as any
body, but he did not favor such fire
brands as this.
These remarks gave rise to an ex
citing debate. The resolution was fl
nally referred to the committee.
"A number of resolutions were offer
ed and referred.
At half-past one o'clock the Conven'
ton adjourned until to-morrow.

for every one of us serious and para
mount question; is the condition of
mankind, in any respect, growing bet
ter under existing systemss
All say the evil propensities ofchil-
dren must be subdued. But it can't
be done speedily; and only in one way;
by kindness and good example. But
whence come those evil propensitiesp
That is tho inquiry which most con-
Germs us. When causes are under
stood, remedies suggest themselves; or
at least can be deserted. How easily
it would bc understood, if we would
look about us calmly and nationally,
that tho depraved conduct of others,
of which We make so many and loud
complaints, is, in its totality, but the
legitimate growth which has first been
vivified, and afterwards nourishcd and
developed into alarming proportions,
by the simple force Of bad examples on
the part OF those whose prerogative it
has been to teach the rising genera
tions.
wish here to record what to me is
only truth, and as sacred to, and as
firmly beloved, by me, as is my phys
ival existence; that if we ourselves
lived true and consistent lives in all
things, letting nature, under the guild
ance of reason, as controlled by our re-
ciprocal and mutual wants and depen-
denotes manifest herself through US,
our children would grow like us, from
very inclination, and that but a few
generations would be required to make
of earth, instead of the pandemonium
it is, a paradise.
Don't dwarf your children morally
by chilling out of them the pure ma
tive thoughts that spring from uusul-
lied hearts. Let them think the
thoughts inspired by nature, and ex-
press what they think, as iunocently
as it arises. Only be sure that those
tender immortals that Rave been Civ
en- you in charge, for good or evil, as
you make it, shall see nothing in your
life unworthy of imitation; here lies
the key to what we want; purity of
life in intention and conduct. You
cannot control all that is wrong in 9TH
Crs, but you can greatly modify much
Of it by tho way you do yourself. Do
your part, and when all do their parts,
the era will slowly, but surely come
round, when there will be no trouble
in the control of children. But Of this,
be sure; you cannot forco the moral or
intellectual departments of your chill
dren; you cant thrash them into be-
lief or conduct, but you can, by such
q course, make of them moral mon
strosities, instead of true men and wo
men.
Let all, then, move forward, with
the single purpose of knowing and do
ing the right, only; and let all mani
fest conduct bo self approved by the
highest standard of individual under
standing and capacity; and with the
ideal fixed high up in the scale, never
withdrawing the gaze, or deviating to
the right or the Lett. And thus will
each succeeding generation be born on
more advanced plan of moral, social
intellectual and religious Development
Again, let it be repeated; don't pre-
vent your children from developing
what springs instinctively in theil
hearts; only SEQ that you don't feed
i. them on moral poison. VlDI.

General Orders, No. %.
With profound sorrow the general chief an
nounces to the army the death, at West Point
N. Y, on the 2eth inst, of its late illustrious
commander, Breyet Lieut.. Gen. Winfield Scott
His history is part of the history of the coun-
try. 1t is almost needless to recall it to those
who have venerated him so long Entering the
army as captain in 1908, at the close of the
war of 1912 and IA he had already, by the force
of merit, won his way to the rank of brevet ma
jor-general. In 1S4l, Maj. Gen. Scott was as
signed to the command Of the army. In the
spring of 1S47, the Mexican war having already
begun he commenced, commander-in-chiet of
the army in Mexico, the execution of plan Of
campaign, the success of which was complete
as its conception was bold, and which establish
ed his reputation as one of the first soldiers of
the age. 4 grateful country conferred on him,
in 1855, the rank of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
token of its estimate of his brilliant services.
As the vigor of his life, whether in peace or
war, has been devoted to the service of the coun-
try he loved so well, so in his age, his country
gave to him in return that veneraton and rev.
erence and esteem, which, won by few, is the
highest reward nation can give OF most COM
manding presence with a mind OF great vigor,
pure in life his memory will never fade from the
minds of those who have reverenced him so
long.
As testimony of respect, the officers of the
army viii wear the usual badge OF mourning on
the left arm and the hits of their swords Guns
will be fred at each military post, at intervals
