was no hasty emanation it was the deliberate unanimous resolve of a full convention appointed upon some six months notice for the ath of july last and then postponed to the of august by authority for better preparation the authors were experienced politicians some few 0 of f them had spen service in the old democratic party when it maintained a political organization most of its leaders especially from this state did eminent service at the buffalo convention in 1848 with frederick douglas and other abolitionists and were chiefly instrumental in breaking up tile the charleston convention M in
