sent be admitted as members of the con.
yentiOn.
move the names be read, cried q
delegate from Pennsylvania.
The gentlemaDfrom Pennsylvania has
not yet been admitted member of the
conve vention, retorted Kentuckian.
AT this juncture the President inter
fered, and hoped that nothing would be
done to mar the harmony Of the party,
and motion was successfully made to
adjourn to I2 o'clock, to meet in the
first Presbyterian Church.
AT ~ o'clock, m. the convention re-
assembled. Gen. Saunders submitted
several resolutions, in substance as fol-
lows:-
Resolved, That in taking the vote of
the Convention, for candidates Of Presi-
dent and Vice President, each delega-
ton shall designate the person who shall
cast The vote Of the State represented by
said delegation.
Resolved, That each State represent
ed shall be entitled to As many votes, as
the said State is entitled to electoral
votes for President and Vice President,
by law.
Resolved, That a majority of two
thirds shall be required to elect the can
didates for President and Vice Presi-
dent
Gen. S. made some remarks on the
resolutions, and contended that the adop-
ton Of the last resolution would give Il
more imposing effect to the nomination.
Not so, thought Jonathan Allen, of
Moss.-Hc was in favor Of the majori-
ty's ruling, and moved to strike out two
thirds.'
That brought out that veritable polit-
clan, p. V. Daniel, Of Va. He, like
General Saunders, wanted an imposing
vote, and therefore was for two thirds.
When the vote was taken, his PROPOSE
ton was carried ayes 23l-noes 2lO.
/, is said that the Senator from New
York, Mr.. Silas Wright, Jr. voted on
beth sides, thus pursuing the true Van
Buren, policy. This vote was triumph
Of the johnson party, and it is said will
settle MIR. Rives.
The resolution for admission Of all the
delegates was taken up, and motion
was made to postpone the considerable
but was subsequently Withdrawn after
much debate.
A proposition was then made by a
member from Pennsylvania, to refer the
case Of the Pennsylvania delegates to a
committee, on which great deal was
said, and at one time we really thought
the Wolftes and Muhlies would have
come TO battle. One of the speakers
amused the meeting with story of ci-
ty being razed to its foundation thou
sand years ago; and another told story
of "magic ring" which we thought
very apropos, as it recognised the prin-
ciple Of man worship.
AT length, and amidst cries for the
question, Wolfite moved that the Har-
risburg delegates be admitted, and that
the Lewistown men be excluded.
Here was a hornets nest, and our
readers would have thought so too, if
they had been present and heard the
buzzing. Before any question was TAX
en-, the convention took recess till four
o'clock.
The convention again met at o'clock
and after a short discussion the screws
were applied, the previous question cal
led, and Of course carried. The origin
al resolution admitting all the delegates,
Wolftes and Muhlies. Several of the
Wolf men looked as if they were for
breaking out, and withdrew under the
gallery, but thought they had as well
stay.
Several other resolutions were propos-
ed and adopted, and the Convention ad
ourned to meet this morning at ten o.
