Colonel Hays Of Alabama, here read u
reselution which he was desrous should,
if in order, he received and passed by
the convention, setting forth. "Tha,
Martin Van Buren, is entitled to the
thanks of his country for the manner in
which he discharged the duties Of Sec
retary Of State--that the nation owes
him deep debt of gratitude for his
services in conducting our foreign nego-
tiations and that his country witnessed
his rejection by the Senate, as an act
of bitter political faction bent on
wounding tho feelings and aspersing the
character Of a favorite and faithful min
ister." After a suggestion that this
course would not be acceptable, the re-
solution was laid on the table. A recess
of one hour, as desired by Mr.. King, was
then granted.
