to the common mother that gave us birth. She is worthy of all our affections and all our sacrifices. Behold her history! Preserve her honor! Strike down the sacrilegious hand that would invade it! And may that Almighty Being whose Providence has signally protected her "in the dark watches of the night," be with her in the noon-tide of her returning prosperity, and may we, under the shadow of His wing, illustrate the career of a virtuous, united and happy people! It remains for me, gentlemen, to pronounce this Convention adjourned without day. The Convention then adjourned sine die. Attest-GEORGE G. BREWER, Secretary to Convention.
