mlttee to examine the credentials of mem
beers he commended that many members
were Illegally chosen. This gave rise to
debate Of great acrimony and warmth, and
the discussion lasted three days. Messrs.
Berricn, Cumming, Forsyth and Clayton
were the chief speakers. The latter gem
ueman opposed the resolution with much
. violence, and it was ably defended by the
mover. Mr.. Forsyth's resolution was post
poHed till the committee on Mr.. Berrien's
resolution should have time TO report. On
the 18th, the question was taken. and re-
suited in the rejection of Mr.. Forsyth's res
olution, achen So of The Delegates rose and
left The House. When the Delegates with
drew, there were kissing ami pIaudits

and assigning the resaons Of the minor-
ity for seeding. A motion was made that
the protest be read but MI Berrien oppos-
ed the reading, and it was not read. The
remnant of the Convention consisted of
about 6S members. who proceeded with the
business that brought them together.

the following: The Georgia Convention
adjourned OH the 18th inst. to NEE: again

dissenting voices, the resolutions reported
by Judge Berrien, from the committee of
81. They recommend a Convention of del
egates from the several Southern States, to
be held on the third Monday of March next,
"to confer together on the subject of the
grievances under which they labor, from
the protective system, and to recommend to
the people of their respective States, such
measures as may best conduce to the re-
