The only other objectionable resolution was that which pledged the people to the support of the laws, except the excise law and the taking of citizens out of their counties for trial,--an exception which Gallatin succeeded in having stricken out.

He then urged the adoption of the resolution, without the exception, as necessary "to the establishment of the laws and the conservation of the peace," and here he was supported by Brackenridge.
The entire resolutions were finally referred to a committee of four,--Gallatin, Bradford, Husbands, and Brackenridge.

The meeting then adjourned.

The next morning a standing committee of sixty was chosen, one from each township.

From these a committee of twelve was selected to confer with the government commissioners.
