not regard il as within the scope Of the
authority delegated to them to advise the
electors of the several States who favored
the election Of the candidates nominated at
the Baltimore convention as to the course
which they shall pursue in view OF the
death Of Horace Greeley. Such an event
| was unproyideG tor by She action Of the

Succeeding conventions will doubtless
make provisions for similar ems rgeney and
as no practical result can follow the estab-
li8hment of precedent by this committee,
it is deemed inadvisable that this committee
should pake any recommendation to elec-
