der such guations as might be adopted. f.

mously adopted.
The resolution, laid on the table this morning.
came up for consideration, and after several H'
effectual attempts to amend it, it was adopted,
the delegations from the several states belnsn
quested to appoint their own members Of t:
committee.
The reading Of the report, having been conca
ded, Mr.. Laussaut, Of Pennsylvania, inquired
whether, in the votes to be taken in the Conyen
tion, any ratio mad been adopted. He though
such a regulation was necessary on accounted The
Inequality OF the representations from the differ
ent States. He was informed that that objee.
was embraced in the duties Of the committee
one from each state.
On motion of Mr.. Macke6eld,i 1T was resolved
that the venerable Charles Carroll Of Carrol'on,

ton. The chair appointed General MackeIfeIG'
Of kentucky Governor Feunsr. Of Rhode Island

The Convention then adjourned until Ives
day ut Decentralization.
We should do injustice TO the distinguished
George Kremer. were we 10 fail to appIne The
public that he is present at the Jackson CONVEX
ton. He is as much resolved as ever to "c!
aloud and spare not;' but it is supposed that hI'
cry in the Convention for Van Buren,, ho"e's
voclfcrous, will meet no response from the sober
sided PennsyIvanians. We are surprised tnh
the Convention should have overlooked his mef
its, and placed another in the Chair
