O'CLoCK.-The Convention met
and Mr.. Irwin withdrew his motion.
whereupon Mr.. Archer presented res
olution which had been adopted in the
recess by the Virginia delegation, and
which they requested might be incorpo-
rated by the Secretaries with the pro-
ceedings of the Convention, in nearly
the following words-"Resolved, that
Tie delegates from Virginia to the Balti-
more Convention concur in and approve
of the nomination of Vice President
which has been made by the Convention
and request that this resolution be ap-
pended to the proceedings to be publish
ed" This resolution was adopted by
the Virginia Delegation with as / learn
but four dissenting voices, three Of those
agreed to concur but not to approve, and
Mr.. Gordon, who ! learn is a Calhoun
man, was the only individual who Who'll
ly objected-there are about 80 delegates
from Virginia. The motion to append
was carried. The following resolution
by Mr.. John Speed Smith was adopted
unanimously as a substitute for that with
drawn by Mr.. Irwin.
Whereas Martin Van Buren, of New
York, has received upon the first ballot,
more than two thirds of all the votes
given for the purpose of selecting can
didate for the Vice Presidency Of the U.
States, therefore resolved that this con-
vention unanimously concur in recon-
mending him to the people Of the u.
States for their support for that Office at
the ensuing election"
Mr.. McAffee of Kentucky. in a brief
but eloquent speech, resigned in behalf
Of Colonel Johnson his claims to nom-
ination. and pledged the Colonel and
the Democracy of Kentucky in felicitous
and strong language to the support of
Mr.. Van Buren. Mr.. King called up
the resolution to appoint Committee to
draw up al address to the people,
Mr.. Nicholas of Virginia objected. He
thought no address was necessary. He
said Virginia had come to support not
men bu, principles, and had evinced by
the resolution just adopted that she had
not come to secure the Office for herself
1t was unnecessary to inform the peo-
pie of the character and services of the
nominee. He paid high compliment
to Kentucky, and was proud that tho
daughter of Virginia had determined on
tho course announced by Mr.. McAffee.
He said that there were geographical
lines-there were points of difference
between them, but there was one great
point on which all the members united
UNION. Col. Miller of Vt. thought
there was no necessity for an address
and was opposed to initiating the Auti-
masons and Clay-men. Messrs. Lyle
of Ohio, Humes of Virginia, Lauget and
Kremer Of Pennsylvania, and Dunlap
of Maine, addressed the Convention in
favor of an address in style Of oratory
which for beauty and cogency have
never known equalIed in any similar as
sembly, and Mr.. Nicholas withdrew his
objection. l have not time for even an
extract. The resolution was then a.
