- Tuesday Morning.
The Convention met at 10 o'clock, pur-
suant to adjournment The committee APP
pointed under the last resolution reported |
as follows:
| Mr.. PreSident:-The committee appoint |
ed under the foregoing resolution of the
Convention have instructed me to report,
that they have had the resolution and the
subjects embraced by it under consideration
that in their opinion the prospect of sue
cess To the principles Of the wing party in
this State has never been more fattering-
that the tone Of the public mind in everv
portion of the State and the determined
spirit evinced by the wings every where, in
dictate that no time since the organization
of the party in this State has been more
suspicious than the present for an energetic
struggle upon their part. The committee
are fully persuaded Of the Importance of all
the questions that will be involved in such
struggle, and believe that they can be best
and most successfully presented and can
vassed by members of the wing party them
selves. The committee feel confident that
with union, harmony and concert of action
upon the part Of the wings, their triumphant
success is certain in the next election; and
i. this union, harmony and concert OF action
) can but be brought about by the nomination
Is of an entire wing ticket for State officers
!. that such is the course most expedient tC
L pursue upon that subject.
The committee have further instructed
me TO report TO the convention that, in theil
J, lopinion, this convention ought not TO nomi
nate candidates for Congress-thar the &C
of Congress appoTtioning the representation
D, for the next Congress being in force and re
y, curing the States TO be Distracted, preclude
the possibility Of the wings legally film
<. the congressional representation TO Whic
the State is entitled in the next Congress
that until the State is laid off into district
by the Legislature Of the State, to attemT
n, to fill these places by wings would be an il
"a vasion Of one the cherished principles OF In
e. wing party-obedience and acquiesence
the law as It is. If the wings should sue
coed in slecting members TO Congress, tn
ID. committee do not believe that they coul
legally take their seats; and though mi
ority of Congress, in disregard of laV
might permit it, yet the committee belieV
IN it would be less injurious to the country an
the interests of The State, that the Sta
ar should be unrepresentsd, than that the Ia
lilo should be trampled under foot by lGDIc
M. power
B. The wings have not been instrumental
aac producing this state of things. Ample tin
IN has interviewed to enable the party now
power in this State 10 have convened t
Dgs Legislature for this purpose. If injury al
nty wrong TO this State grows out Of the wa
laid OF representation in Congress, upon the
} of and not on the wings, will rest the odiu
The committee believe that if the Leg
on ature now called together should distr
FIVE the State, then the congressional candidal
should be selected BY the districts as Ia
the off by the Legislature, and recommend til
lga- as the course most expeGient to be pursu
ok, upon that subject.
s S. The committee have further instructed
'nts, TO report that, not believing the resolut
del under which the committee has been rails
confers the power on the committee to
iolu- port ticket, it is their opinion this POI
should not be performed by them.
SEES committee are of opinion that the COZ
the most expsdient 10 be pursued by this {
rules Vention in nominating the ticket for s.
same officers, is 10 appoint by the ConVsntiC
this committee denomination, whose duty it S
be to present to the convention full

the approval Of the convention.
