Mr. Scott Wood moved that two dele- gates be elected to represent this association in the readjuster state convention to be held in Richmond on the 24 of June. A lively discu3- sion arose between Messra. Mitchell and Mos as to the propriety of sending delegates to meet in a readjuster convention, without invitation. Nr.

It was directed exciu- stvely to the readjuster party, and the motion to elect delegates was thereupon unanimously voted down.
