FILED WITH
A May 20 report printed May 22 describes delegates supporting Martin Van Buren as Andrew Jackson's successor and their choice of Andrew Stevenson to preside. The newspaper says the address is given “to the following purport”: this is a reported paraphrase, not a verified verbatim speech. Two supplied pages are preserved; this is not the entire issue or convention record.
AI-assisted transcription visually checked by Codex against the selected passage; no independent human proofread. Paragraph/verse wrapping, capitalization of headings, quotation marks and punctuation regularized for reading. This is a reading transcription, not a diplomatic facsimile. The scan remains authoritative. The newspaper's report of the speech is retained as reported prose; the archive does not convert it into a direct quotation by Stevenson.
