Note 239 — Chapter VIII · SEYMOUR’S PRESIDENTIAL FEVER 1864
Reading edition
"When the resolution, as reported, had been debated in the committee, Mr. Tilden, far from protesting, stated in the convention that there was no dissent among the members. His remarks were confirmed by Mr. Brown of Delaware, who said there was not the slightest dissension, and by Mr. Weller of California, who said that all were in favour of peace."—Harper's Weekly, September 9, 1876.
