dates until we know Whist the action OF

hardly probable that there will be .
unanimous report from that committee

because l suppose that every member o.
this Convention is anxious TO see harmo.
nv not only upon the part Of the Commit
tee on Resolutions, but harmony in the
action ;of this great body Of delegates re;
presenting the Democracy OF the United
States. We must have harmony upon
principle. five can have no harmony, !
want them TO see the report Of the COM
