mercial and social relations existing
between the North and the South; and
whereas, if said measure shall become
law and such conditions thereby be
brought about the Worlds Fair will
fall TO adequately display the magni-
tude and variety Of our country's re-
sources, will fall short OF the purposes
for which it was contemplated, aud
will bring shame and reproach upon
our whole country: and whereas, 1t Is
the sense of this General Assembly "
that no appropriation should be made

sources and advancement; therefore,
