Mr. HALL, of Buchanan, offered the following been demanded by Mr. Moss: ing as a substitute for the amendment of Mr. Donnell :

This Convention is not sufficiently acquainted with all the facts concerning the forts of the United States within the limits of the seceding States, as to be able to give an opinion with reference to the best course to be pursued by the Federal Government, but this Convention earnestly hopes that such action may be taken by the United States and the seceding States as will avoid all hostile collision between the United States and said seceding States.

That it is the opinion of this Convention, that our cherished desire to preserve our country from the ruins of civil war and its devastating influence, and the restoration of harmony and fraternal feeling between the different sections, would be greatly promoted by the withdrawal of the Federal troops from such forts within the borders of the seceding States, when there is danger of a collision between the State and Federal troops, and we recommend that policy.
