There was considerable excitement among a number of 'outsiders,' opposed
to the meeting and its objects, who frequently assailed the delegates
coming to the Convention and a large number of whom, having come into
the room, were ripe for any further opposition they could exhibit.
The Dorchester county delegation having seen this state of things,
several of them arose and remarked that they did not think that their
presence here could be of any benefit, and they there proposed to
withdraw and go home. This announcement was received with applause, and
cries of "good" from the opponents of colonization.
A member from Kent county begged the delegates to stand firm in their
position, and the result of their labors would be of much benefit.
[Applause and hisses.]
