e not in all
respects what I could have desired--although I should have preferred
the adoption of those recommended by the Legislature of Virginia,
because I know they would have been acceptable to my own constituents,
still it is my duty to give them my official approval and support. It
is not to be expected that entire unanimity of opinion should exist
among the representatives of so large a population, and so many
diversified interests, as now comprise the Republic of the United
States. It is probable that the result to which you have arrived is
the best that under all the circumstances could be expected. So far as
in me lies, therefore, I shall recommend its adoption.

"May you have a happy and safe return to your constituents and your
families! May you all inculcate among your people a spirit of mutual
forbearance and concession; and may GOD protect our country and the
Union of these States, which was committed to us as the blood-bought
legacy of our heroic ancestors!"

Mr. WICKLIFFE:--I move that the Convention do now adjourn, its labors
having come to an end; and I would suggest that the delegates meet
informally and take leave of each other at three o'clock this
afternoon.

Mr. BROWNE moved that the Conference adjourn without day, and his
motion was adopted by the following vote:

AYES.--Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey,
Ohio, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Vermont--9.

NOES.--Connecticut, Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, and
Pennsylvania--5.

And the Conference adjourned without day.
