[326] Convention to be held at Little Rock on the eighth instant, with power to fill vacancies. Upon its being suggested that Judge McKiel was in feeble health, and might not be able to attend the Convention, the Chair remarked that he should place a steamboat at the service of the delegates, as he considered the object of the mission of sufficient importance to warrant him in so doing. A motion was then made and carried that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Memphis, St. Louis, and Washington papers. Major Jackson then moved that the thanks of the meeting be tendered to the chairman for the courtesies and impartial manner with which he had presided over its deliberations, and for his kindness and liberality in providing the delegates with the means of transportation to the Convention. The meeting was eminently patriotic and harmonious, and upon the suggestion of the Chair adjourned with three hearty cheers for the American Union.N. B. Buford, Brigadier-General Commanding, Chairman. H. P. Coolidge, Secretaries. Lieutenant S. Baird, Secretaries.
