ON BOARD THE MINNERATIA,
TENNESSEE RIVER, April 23, 18112.
Though just. leaving what is now historie ground,
made so by the glorious victory, I presume I can
add but little or nothing to what your talented cor
respondent—Mr. T.—whom I have just left, has
given you already. Until, indeed, the various
division generals furnish their respective reports, it
seems idle to attempt to give additional particulars
of the battle of Shiloh. The field upon which the
engagement took place (just by Pittsburg Landing)
covers au urea 9r nee miles at the very least, and
the different reporters seem to have verified the
old story of the man presenting different ends of an
egg to two friends.
I rode over the field under the guidance of one
of the distinguished sons of our own State—Col.
Stambaugh—who pointed out to me the devasta
tion wade la the then recent conflict. Large trees
broken and splintered by cannon balls , bushes
singed, ditches into which the dead have been
thrown, everywhere met the eye. Here and there
a few solitary graves, with head and foot-be...a,
with an inscription rudely carved, but dictated by
the kindly heart of a comrade; occasional frag
ments of clothes of homespun ; muskets with flint
locks horses but hair interred, aad already ren
dering the air offensive, complete the picture. A
few, a very few bodies remain yet unbaried. Pass
ing over a wagon road, I saw one hand out wretched
NS if invoking mercy, and some portions of a human
body still visible, and but half buried, by the pass
ing over it of wagens and artillery—the whole face
9f nature horribly marred by the impious hand of
man.
Ono such grave, marked as I have mentioned,
holds all that remains of Mr. Thomas B. Monroe,
formerly Sanitary of State of Monied:7. He was
known to the Philadelphia community by a recent
marriage to one of its accomplished daughters.
Having fled from his native State with his traitor
father, (a V. u, District Judge,) he sought a posi
tion in the rebel army. He was acting as lieu
tenant colonel when he met his death on the field,
where he was decently interred. I trust you will
say as I did, when standing at Zollicoffer's grave—
Peace to his ashes! may his death absolve his crime.
Several instances of respectful consideration have
been shown to such of the dead rebels as hada
been recognized on the field. Of course, attentions
from the army officers are not confined to the dead,
and some really affecting incidents have occurred
among the wounded—both officers and mOll-401111.
Mg to show how very much the Southern mind has
been abused by the infamous leaders of this re
bellion. Colonel Bruce (acting brigadier general,
and who, by the bye, was one of the most distin
guished on the field) now sitting by me, mentioned
one instance of a rebel officer, badly wounded,
whom he had carried into his own tent after the
battle, and every attention shown to him. He was
an educated man, and yet he told the general that
he had been led to believe that he would be bar).
netted if found alive by the " Yankees." It seems
incredible that an American at the South could
be found who would believe the barbarous inten
09tle attributed t 9 their Northern brethren, yet so
it is. Every conceivable fabrication seems to he
made to embitter the feeling entertained for those
who are supporting the (3 overnment.
Yet I am plumed to He, in my travels through
the country, that the Magnanimity of the com
manders, and tee excellent behavior of the troops,
(respecting, as they do, both contrabands, chick
ens, and fence rails, and thus forming e strong
contrast to these who really did before hold the
Seuthernera in subjection) has produced its legiti
mate effects.
This fact, joined of course to the successes of
the Government forces, is rekindling rapidly the
smouldering embers of national pride ; and I BM
ninth wigs/ten if ere very long they will not turn
with a fury proportioned to their merits upon those
who have misled the public mind.
In omitting any attempt to describe the battle, I
feel you will think me culpably negligent, were I
not to say that Penneylvania was most honorably
represented on the field of Shiloh. The Seventy.
seventh Pennsylvania won imperishable laurels;
its gallant colonel animating his men with hie own
indomitable courage and perseverance, again and
again drove back the rebels; and among the few
prisoners taken that day, he himself had the satis
faction of receiving the amord of a Cl .o Battles, of
one of the Tennessee rebel regiments. I regret I
have no list of the killed and wounded to furnish
you, but its loss, considering the ex s posure and se
vere contest, was but slight. The effionei welted
without a wound, though his coat indicates the
near proximity of bullets to his person.
The boat upon which I write was fired into on its
way up, when near Duck river, by some rebels,
and WIC BIM severely wounded. Fortanately,
having some few soldiers and arms on beard, it
immediately rounded to, landed the soldiers, and
captured three rebels. The owner of the mansion,
near to which the firing Marred, in answer to an
inquiry, stated that no Anne were concealed there
in. On searching, however, some half dozen were
found concealed, and the house committed to the
flames. thane rebel cavalry were discovered in
the distance, but made no attempt to interfere. It
is auppmed by some that these were commanded by
the übiquitous Morgan—doubtful, however.
It seems to me there is a decided mistake in car
rying the remains of those killed off a battle field_
Immediately after such an engagement, I would
select a spot of ground not likely to be wanted, and
where the most prominent events took place, and
there make the interments carefully. A proper
railing should be placed around the whole, Those
relatives who desire to show their respect and af•
fection can erect tombstones or monuments on the
glen and the Government should see that these are
preserved in rot perpetttam memoriam. Pilgrims
to the spot will, hereafter, thus find it appropriately
marked. My paper warns me to bid you adieu. •

able and indefatigable Chief of the pay department
of this district, Major Charles T. Lamed, no sooner
received funds, and ascertained how the troops
could be reached, than he gave the necessary in

Conded his laudable exertions, and who are, by this

for his country, and to his countrymen, in tones
which can only fail to persuade, where ignorance

The New Orlealls Digibter,
The capture of new Orleans by the enemy is, under
the circumstances, one of the most extraordinary events
which the war has brought forth. The blow which hiss
been struck no is undoubtedly a very severe one; but
if General Lorell anti all his army, munitions, and stores
are raft—if all the cotton, tobacco, Rc , were destroyed,
the coin of the banks secured, and everything else that
would be of value to the enemy put out of his roach, the
blow hos been stripped of more than half of its terror.
We Rill be undoubtedly subjected to new mid kie,it to .
conveniences by the lona that city; but its occapancr
by the Yankees will be anything but an agreeable
one, now that the yellow fever season is near at
hand, which for months will prove fatal to the
Northern unacclimated troops by which it will hays to l i e
held.
But there is another aspect of the matter still more
cheering to the Confederates The large and fine army
which was assigned for the defence of New Orleans can
~roe be united, with the army at Corinth in time to
Mist in OK great work of driving the Vandals 11111 of
Tennessee end Kentucky, and in a march across the
Ohio—a movement which, we cannot doubt, will he com
menced and carried through as soon as the Tennessee,
Cumberland, and Ohio rivers become too shallow for
gunboat navigaticn. Then will be our 9PPQrtUaity for
striking a crusting blow that will more than redeem all
our looses. Ire want to see a eel emit of 150,000 South,-
ern troops led on by Beauregard through the North
western, and another column of the same strength
through the Northern Stales by Johnston, so that whilst
the Yankees are taking our roast alit
be tweepheg there; and then we would see who would
Buffer most and endure their sufferings longest. The cap
tureelPhiladelphia or New York would be to us a guaran
tee of peace in thirty days upon our own terms. We have
400,000 Soldiers in the field, of whom Naholeoa,
zenith of me glory, might have been proud. They would
move with alacrity in the direction of Yankee laud, if
the word was just given them from Itichmoud. Oh, that
it may be given ! as it ought to have been twldve months
ago. Besides this huge . army, which could easily nue

Additional
Since the above was written, we have received further
intelligence from New Orleans, which riiproaento that,
shhoost, the Federal fleet was before the city, the enemy
bad not taken possession, because they have no forces to
occupy it. It is rumored that toe had several very for
midable gunboats at Fort Pillow when the rederals
passed the forts below New OrteffnSl Slid that ii vorlion
these h.a-e been, ere tafs,sterpatcaed co New Orleans.
They may be enabled to destroy a portion of the Yankee
vessels, if not all, and thus save the city. We trust that
the rumor may prove true. and that our flotilla may ac
complish all that is hoped for.
The rmucr regarding the protect of the French and
English men-of. war, mentioned in our despatches, may
be correct. It is stated that no civilized nation was ever
known to shell a city after it had been evacuated by the
trospe collected for its defence. 'Whether the Yankee
nation will contorni to usage in this motor VEhttainis to

any reliance on the latter part of the Examiner's asser

Gen. 'McDowell from making an advance, and at the

NEW YORK POLITICS.
Address of the Union Members of the
Legielakture.
A DNION OF ALL PATRIOTS RECOMMENDED
To Inc klectors of the State of New York
The undersigned, members of the Legislature, feel it
incumbent upon them, is closing the session of IS6e, to
submit to the electors of this btate some considerations
PO to tbo prcttifl condition of the country, and the milli.
cal duties wbich it dereltee upon them.
When they aesemjsled here, the great rebellion, whose
rising clouds had Belong darkened the Southern sky, had
already burst in desolating fury upon the laud. The bad
'pith - tiers of nilibilielle and unprincipled men, embittered
by the teachings and spirit of an instillitien Which has
long been our shame and our reproach, and poisoned by
party hate and lent of power, had finally culminated in
open madness, and hurled upon our country all the ca
lamities and dangers we had feared so long and had
sought. on Cannily by 6.6416,4141eiais and cornpromidee
to avert and avoid. It had become the duty of this
generation to meet the most fearful peril our
institutions have ever been compelled to encounter.
That duty had been rendered doubly difficult by the
winonahlessus end 000ddlog tocrodolley of the toy at
people of the Northern Statee, who steadily refused to
believe their Southern brethren capable of the greatest
crime that has ever stained the annals of any nation, and
who resolutely shut their eyes to the movements of or
saniud conspiracy, and even to the maeslsallog of
armies, iu open prelude to its preparation. It was not
until the bombardment of Sumpter announced the actual
outbreak of the rebellion that the North could credit the
persibility of such an att. Then they awoke from their
deltoivedreani and began to resit,. the fearful dangers
that menaced thim on every site. They then saw the
Constitution rent and torn asunder, the nation stabled
in a vital part, the whole fabric ana foundation of the
Government broken and shaken from its centre to its cir
eumferenee, treason in the army and nityr, ana in overy
department of the Government, anti foreign nations look
ing scornfully on and gloating over the apparent and
well-nigh accomplished ruin of the republic.
Never was there a pert, dlci the history of the world so
well adapted to try the strength dime institutions, or to,
tilt the coinage and patriotism of free men, and right
well did they vindicate the one, and sweat, in a manner
Lever to be forgotten, the truthfulness of the other.
Though they found themselves without military train
ing, or organization of any kind—}with a gem maws,
iration t just eioriod, oast - gunnel to the roponelltilititet of
power—with a bankrupt treasury, and our little army
and navy scattered to the four quarters of the world—
et,swith a devotion and determination worthy the heroic
days of the Republic, and without a parallel in the hiss
Cory of nations, they sprang, to arms, and rallied as On
man to the support of the Constitution. From mountain
top and valley, from the lake, the river, and the ocean,
from the city, and from the plain, from all the walks and
trades and professions of life, without distinetion of caste,
or birthplace, dr sett, or tarts, they slopped fortis ‘"Pon
the .ante common level, side by side, to battle nobly for
freedom, order, and constitutional law.
In the political world, the crisis produced changes al
most as great, and quite as honorable to the patriotio
loyalty of the AlidffiMii geoids_ To a 9 6 .7) . g. sat eaten.,
in all the Northern States, mere party organizations dis
solved aril melted away in the presence of this fierce
and flaming reril. In this State, as elsewhere, the
popular impulse demanded that patriotic men of all
partite should lay aside, for the lime, their differences
of pvlfcitui sentiment, and unite in support or the
National Administration in Its efforts to maintain the
authority of the. Constitution and the integrity of the
Union. The great body of the people were ready for
such a Union, and nothing but the obstinate resistance
oft powerfol ox- i gnnizeilon, cinimins to represent the
Democratic party, and controlling all its organized
meaus of action, stood in the way of its consumma
tion. This organization, acting in the name, but
helloing the spirit and temper of the patriotic masses
of the Democratic party, went into the goats Conkeei
Of last fall upon the avowed basis of hostility to
the National e Adrninheration, and to nearly every
one of the measures which, under the pressure ,
of imperative necessity, it lad been compelled to adopt
for the succestful prosecution of the war, and the arrest
or measures in progress Within the telite of our own
State to afford aid and comfort to the rebellion. A strong
feeling of dissatisfaction soon made itself manifest among
the great body of the Democratic party, whose patriotic
sentiments and purposes were thus misrepresented, and
who protested indignantly against thus being made the
instruments of sacrificing the very honor and safety of
the country to the resentments and ambition of political
partisans; and, joining others of their fellow-citizens not
connected wilh them in party associations, they mat in
Convention at Syracuse for the nomination of a State
ticket upon the broad platform of loyalty to the Constitu
tion and the Union, and the support of the Administra
tion, whirl, bad become responsible for the fate of both.
The Republican Contention, Which had Resembled at the
earns place, in else same spirit, and for the name Danielle
purpose, promptly laid amide for the time all thought of
independent action, and joined the Union Conveution in
its declaration of purposes, and its selection of candidates
for State officers. The men thus nominated, in spite of
.
the vigor - ea* efforts ef The evsealled Democratic organic
zation, were elected by a very large popular majority.
7n the election of members to the Legielaittre, the
came patriotic spirit pervaded the great body of the peo
ple. The Republican party in every Senate and
Asaem-
I district of Ade btate, es ever-swims* ttiroughout tee
country, stood pledged, alike by its principles and by its
responsibility, for the National Administration which it
placed in power, to the rapport of that Administration in
whatever measures tho emergency might require for the
Plorittaaot. of 4116 re 1.1114.. sod 46e proserrmtlon oP tito
Union. In very many of those districts the Republicans
elected members of their own party to the Legislature ;
while tu many others, where they had the unquestioned
power to elect such candidates, they waived all such
preferencea, and %Wad in electing slew who haa never
acted with the politically, but whose loyalty and pare
mount devotion to the country had been made manifest
by their patriotic and independent action. And in still
other districts, where the Republicans were in the mi
nority, their union with true Democrats who hail been
repelled from their own party organization by its thinly
disguised sympathy with the political sentiments and
purposes which prompted the rebellion, resulted in the
election of Democratic Union men.
In Mile one of these three ways nearly all the under.
signed were elected to be members of the present Legisla
ture. 'They met at Albany and entered upon their du
ties on this common platform of devotion to the country,
the Constitution, and the Union. They have acted to

co-operation in efforts to reform public obliges, to re

profligacy and corruption in all department* of the Go

Government in its contest with rebellion. The wisdom
of ibis course in this State and throughout the country,
is now apparent. The heart-burniuge and biliiierilign of

hearty support of the great body of the people. the 'tide
of war has been turned back ;,upon the rebellion, its
armies defeated, its strongholds captured, and its lead
ers are one by one paying the penalty of their hideous
crime.
Notting in the history or itnis nation, or or the world,
surpasses the patriotic devotion of the people to the coun
try in this crisis of its fate. Not only have they offerer!
their lives and thoir fortunes, freely and without stint, fur
the publie geed, but they have surrendered, for the mo
ment, with NUM elastity• Whist freemen everywhere
deem Infinitely more valuable than either life or fortune—
namely, their personal rights, freedom of speech and of
the press, habeas corpus, and whatever else seemed for
the time to stand in the way of preserving the nation's
Lease and the nationie life_ Noss. het a began whose
pillars rest on the immovable foundation of a people's
love, could endure so sharp and severe a test. With
every successive step of the rebellion has the strength of
our Government become more manifest. Despotic Powers
have goon with surprise this calm surrender by a people
living under republican instantiate of the fundamental
rights and immunities which those institutions were made
to protect. They profess to see in it indifference to those
rights; whereas, they are surrendered tor the moment
only, as a means of giving them a firm and Immovable
basis hereafter.' They are waived for the time, in order
to preserve the Constitution, which guaranties them, for.

pliehed. While the country has been delivered from the
immediate peril by which it seemed a few months since
to be thteateued, it must be borne in mind that the re
bellion bas not yet been crushed—that battles have yet

countered, before we can safely relax our united efforts
in the common cause.
Nor is the emergency any longer purely military in
its character. The dangers which now threaten the
Union are not exclusively dangers arising from military
force- Qukitione o f political pries - 100, touching the
very foundations of the Government, and threatening its
stability and integrity quite as really as any menace or
military power, are rapidly arising, or are Ilona into
the controversy by designing enemies of the Unioa, for
the purpose of eta fa:thee esantlleatilig the tweldem Of
its preservation. The MOWS which brought on this re
bellion, with all their attendant perils and evils, have yet
to be eradicated and removed.
A great and comprehenaive system of financial policy,
con meneutoto with. our present and future wants, mus t
be inaugurated and administered ; the re-establishment
of the authority of the National Government hes yet to
he effected; and the mode of treatment toward persons in
rebellion, their property and their slaves, has yet to be
determined. We must vindicate the intelligence as well
as the patriotism of our people, and put to shame the ty
rants of the Old World who laughed at our calamities,
and predicted the downfall of popular government and
tree institutienin
And, what is perhaps a more difficult problem still, the
system and manta:My of a free and representative Com
monwealth must be made to move on and work henna
niouely with a heavy national doh., and an onerous and
searching taxation. The experience of the peer, and our
TWO CENTS.
own Revolutionary history, should admonish us that our
greatest perils may yet lie hidden in the future, and that
it will require the united efforts and energies, for YAM
to come, of all trim, loyal, and patriotic men, to carry us
in safety through the storms and dangers that still beset
and threaten our way.
Whatever differences of opinion may have hitherto
prpygllttl i pr mpy pun proyail, on the general subject of
me - Ivry, no one can doubt that it is, if not the primary
cause, the pretext and powerful agent of the present re
bellion. The slaveholding interest has aimed for many
years to control the political action of the General Go
vernment, and to make that action subservient to its own
llgitrithdiZtdattAtt_ The reedit or th.- P.-osmoodot election
01 MO, aided as it was by the efforts of conspirators ha
Fouibei I, Slater, signalized the defeat of that endeavor,
and the dirdoeurea of the census of the flame year proved
conclusively that this defeat was final. The political au
premacy of the slavebelding intortstesthe sway which
the; tercet had prof - tinnily exercised over the General
Government—had been forever overthrown. To revenge
this defeat, and reverse by force the verdict of the ballot
box, war the primary purpose of the rebellion.
That purpose hag failed ; and the permanent welfare
and nettled athibeeet .f the e.:teeery forbid any attempt
to soften this failure or qualify in any degree its disas
trous effects upon ,lovely itself. The rebellion has thus
tar proved fatal to the interest it was designed to serve.
The blows of the war which slavery invoked have fallen
with mortal %Matt ta.on
false Structure of the institution has been shaken to its
foundation. Not only have its sway over the adminis
tration of the National Governmeit, and its hold upon
the reipeetfut toleration of the country been rudely an 4
thernunl,ly Lel the ' , seal bee. sad usages upon
which it rested have been seriously affected by the pre
sence of cur armies and the measures of military *della
itration which the emergencies of the country have re
quired however men may have differed heretofore
tle to the potter of Congress over slavery, there is
now very little difference among those who have acted
tegother in support of the Government as to the prac
tical necessities of the future. We all agree that slavery
must never again be permitted to increase Its power by
invading free territory, or bringing new slave States into
the Union therefroml that it must tease to 'Met lie the
District of Columbia, which la under the exeleeive jots
diction of the General Government; and that the Consti
tution must hereafter be administered in the spirit of free
dom, and for the advancemert of those principles on
which our 111.01409 M rest, And not for the D er O ettlatiert
or slayeryt We all agree that slavery, so far as It may
bo of pecuniary, or political value to any indivi
dual in rebellion against the Government should be made
to near the penalties which every such individual incurs
by the guilt of treason or roidetance to lawful authority.
And we all arm in enstidniag the
tonal policy of Preeident Lincoln, by which, through
aid extended by the General Government to such slave
States as may initiate measures for the emancipation of
their slaves, we may hope, at some future and not
distant day, to be delivered forever from the tom et
slavery.
Unless the country can rely upon the establishment of
these principles in the administration of the Go vent
meet, the defeat of the rebellion will give us neither in
demnity for the past nor security for the Ninrll- We
oppose, therefore, any peace which shall leave In doubt
the power of the General Government to maintain its
rightful authority, and to quell any rebellion, however
great, and which shall leave tie material ability of
thin treason but partially broken and subrinel, Ana
when the end of unstcriui oporatioan Khali come, Ise op•
pose any terms of peace which shall recognize any
division of the Union, any concession to the political
demands of the slaveholding interest, or any acknow
ledgment of their claims upon the General Govern
mutt, &sent suck ac ace dlatiackly cont,r,--a or odonc
ted by the terns of the Constitution. When the war is
closed, we demand freedom of speech and of the press in
every Slate and in every section of the common Union.
Wo demand that the citizens of each State shall be enti
tled to all tho privileges and immunities of citizen in the
several States. And while tee proclaim anew our solemn
purpose to stand by the Constitution of the United Suttee,
and to respect all its provisions and ail its guarantees, we
demand such a construction of those provisions as shall
COIIIOIM to its essential spirit ; and not, by converting It
into an instrument for Die aggrand.ir_ement and p.rpetua
ton of human slavery, pervert it from its original pur
pose to "form a more perfect union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common de
face, promote the general welfare, and secure the him-
Inge of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
We car, tee but one way of attaining these results, and
that is, by sustaining the present National Administra
tion in its efforts to reach them. The Administration of
Preeident Lincoln has thus far been ebartActerilmj by
integrity, nuct , ompolled to encounter
dangers and difficulties of the most formidable character,
it has met them with finances and prudence. It has
averted the perils of foreign war without any sacrifice of
the national horror, and ints

Yet, in everything it has hitherto done, and in everything
it proposes to do, fur the preservation of the Union and
the restoration of the power and authority of the ljoestj
hatch, It eikcovni.rs tie sealed howtiiiry or men Who
claim to be Democrats, and who seek, by the perversion
of the name of Democracy, and by the control of the or
ganized imiebiLery of Cleat party, to defeat its policy and
destroy its influence. We have no sympathy ror such a
yoiron. Nor will we act with any party or eat of men
who will pursue such an object, either by organized or
individual action. under whatever guise, or with what
ever pretext, or by whatever means, direct or indirect,
that action may be taken.
Aa good cillz‘r,,, led bound to resist end domes all
such purposes, and we are unwilling to weshen our
power for such an effort by any act which abet' divide
our strength, or distract our counsels, or separate in the
coming election those who agree in the principles and
policy' we have thug gat forth.
We cannot reconcile ourselves to the belief that the
time has let come to revive the feuds and nistiuctions
which oLce div.ded and embittered toward each other
loyal men; "nor can we regard that man as a safe coun

to return."
The.,,, are, higher es,t holier duties that now demand
all our energies. We are now fighting the great battle
of the nineteenth century—the battle of freedom, pro
greer, and constitutional right against oppression, ty
ranny, and wri r.g. 'The stake is nothing less thyg thy

fall, not in defence of their own homes or firesides, but
in vindication of the rights of man—in support of that

We owe 16 to 011T1381f elbsslie DWO it to the memory of
these brave men—we owe it to the friends of free go

these martyrs to the cause of liberty shalt not have been

We bad thus set forth, fellow-Mb:ens, as briefly as
possible, the motives which have controlled us hitherto,
and the leading principles and purposes by which our
action will he marled bursaries_ W, .

the great mass of people of this State, without distinc
tion of party, will concur in the sentiments we have thus
set forth, and will co-operate in measures essential to
give them effect, And as one of these mammon is har_
molly of political action, and MIRY of political counsels,
among all such in the elections of the corning fall, we
appeal to those whom we address, Republicans, Union.
Democrats, and all other loyal men who support the Ad-

this address, and the resolutions by which It is itecom-

aid to such of the slave States as Will elligUelPlie their

policy so far as the same wisp be practicable. -
Resolved, That we regard the Administration of Pre
sident Lincoln, in its conduct of the war against the re.
hellion, in its intercourse with foreign Powers, and in
Its &.ne.ral enyeraislon of the domestsc eofaire of the
country, as having been characterized by eminent ability,
patriothro, and success; that it has met the unprece

and prudence, and that it is entitled to the support and
coefolenee of all loyal people of the United &owe, viloh•

Resolved, That we cannot too severely condemn that
spirit, nor denounce those men who have sought, or who
now seek, to make personal profit front the necessities of
the Govetiament. or who have availed themaeleee of Its
wants and calamities, and of their opportunities or official
position, to plunder its property or abuse its trusts; and,
to the end that peculation, corruption, and dishonesty
may be banished from each and every department of the

scrupulous honesty and economy in the administration

strictest accountability . and all dishonesty, extrava

which now threaten the people be alleviated or averted.

at the coming election the principles and policy thus set

the Administration, and responding to tho principles mid
Wiley set forth in the address and resolutions herewith

delegates from each Assembly district to each conven
