consent to divide with the other delegates their
possibility here, they would forfeit the confidence
OF the democracy Of New York. They therefore
decline respectfully, TO take seats upon the terms
proposed.
1t appeared, therefore, that the nomination of
General Cass unanimously sustained by the
delegates of the several States, with the exception
of New York, Alabama and Florida, the former not
having voted at all, and the two latter permitting
their votes to stand as cast on the last ballot.
On motion, the Convention adjourned to P. M.
