members be appointed by the President of the Convention, of
which the President shall act as Chairman, whose duty it
shall be to confer with the President of the United States, our
Senators and Representatives in Congress, and the appropriate
Committees of Congress, to ascertain what appropriation, if
any, will be made by the Federal Government in compliance
with the recommendations contained in the messages of the
President of the United States of March 6th, 1862, and
December 1st, 1862, and the joint resolution of Congress,
approved April 10th, 1862, in the following words, to wit:
"That the United States ought to co-operate with any
State which may adopt gradual abolishment of slavery, giv-
ing to such State pecuniary aid, to be used by the State in its
discretion, to compensate for inconveniences, public and pri-
vate, produced by such a change of system. "
