Judge Sherwood hen came upon the platform TO
read his substitute, and said would request the
entire silence OF the Convention, that my may
be heard.
Mr.. Sherwood then proceedei 10 read his address
which was able and lengthy document. Its
foundatOn principle was that the government OF the
people must rest upon the principle of entire repre-.
sentation OF ali rae OF the popuaton. The corner
stone of the Rebel Government being dec ared
Oinca v TO be the yinIty OF slavery, all the action of
the Government of the United states should be
directed TO the purpo5e OF destroying all ideas
upon which the Rebellion sprung into life. The
Rebel leaders were mos AFRAID OF beng u rrIgned
before their deuded followers and Uetore the trI.
bunGl OF the American nation, the assaiers and
GestrOyeTs OF republican institutions. Upon that
ground they should then be met and condemned.
