The young men who composed the
meeting at Augusta, were of different
political sentiments, and the Commit-

pare the address in question, were

Messrs. VVm. H. Crawford, Nathan

Malone and John McKinniei—the
three first of whom wete known as
Republicans. In making this choice,
the chairman waa influenced by a de
sire that the address should manifest
the feelings of Americans, without re
gard tu the distinction of political
liacties then existing. The draft re
ported hy the committee underwent
some trivial and merely yerbal alter
