worst fears were being realize1.

indorsed the call it was with the distinct
understanding that none but Union men
were to participate In the Convention. He
had since been forced into different con-
clusion, and was ready to admit that he
had done wrong. However, he would re-
tract his words and henceforth there would
be no more Endorsement of the Philadel-
phia Convention by himself or the Times.
/ A resolution was offered that no Union
member of Congress would countenance
the Philadelphia Convention. The yeas

the result was the unanimous passage Of
the resolution.
