From the long and able report of the secon
days proceedings of the National Democrat

been called to preside.

member of the Convention to support Ii
nominee, whoever he might be, was called u

as the State of New York was not, as yet, +,
presented in the Convention.
1t was. decided by the Convention TIL

division of the House, and thatthe delegation
might either vote unitedly or per capita,
they might choose.
