MIK; petition also recommended earnestly the propriety Of the estafilishinent.of an in- teruational Congress, or: tribunal for the settleiuent of the difiiculties , trhich might arise between nations, thus avoiding the calamities alf war. The petitioners had for a4ong-time-held-this- -objUct. in - view, and had addressed several 'legislative bodies off the subject: and Mr. C. understood that the respectable Massachussetts Legislature had given- coun ten ance-and-encouragement-to - the. project.
