the committee did not deem it prudent to
act upon, and others were deemed of not
sufficient consequence to receive the action
Of the Convention, and hence were omitted.
The question being on the adoption of
the resolution, Mr. Campbell moved that
they be so separated usto omit taking the
vote on the resolutions which nominated q
Central committee, which appointed Sena-
torial Delegates, and in relation to the Ma
ltional Convention. He had substitute to
offer for. these, which he thought, if adopt
ed, would harmonlze the view of all wings,
and keep an exciting subject from being de.
bated -
The question was divided, and was TAX
en- on the resolutions, other than those
named, and they were adopted. -- 81.
Mr. Campbell then said that though the
action Of the committee was harmonious,
that though the resolutions were passed
without dissenting voice, yet he had some
| to offer as substitute, which he offered on
his own hook, to harmonic the action OF
the convention. ... .s.
Mr. Campbell then read string Of reso-
lutions. stating IN brief that the mass of the
wings had come up unprepared to make a
nomination for President-that they be in
yited to hold mass meetings in their seve-
raj counties, in February, 10 ratfy the ac-
tion of this convention; and that State
Convention be held in this city, on the Cd
Momnday in April, to take action on the
nomination of a President, and then and
there, freely to speak their minds as to who
should be the choice Of Ohio whiggery, to
be the standard bearer of their principles.
The substitute was received with few
shouts, and then the scene deepened in in
terest, and amid cries of question: Il move
to refer the resolutions to the committee,
'lay them ON the table, 'hurrah for Cor
win,' what the hell did you introduce them
for, kick them out, &c, &C., Mr. Camp
bell proceeded to make speech.
Mr. Campbell said that he was unanim
ously instructed to go for Corwin by the
mass meeting in Butler county. [Shouts
Of huzza for Tom Corwin. Notwith-
standing this, be knew that other coun-
ties had not expressed an opinion, and he
would disobey the Instructions. Cries of
good for you, right go: ahead, that's
the talk &C., for moment drowned the
speakers voice He would disobey the
instruction and take the responsibility, and
though it should PROSTATE him in the eyes
Of his friends, still, said Mr. c., pH do it.

TloN, QUESTION ] 1.-THE counties had
come up here to give an expression on the
Presidency, there would have been nc need
of these resolutions. f~-
A gentleman in the crowd shouted out
that most of the delegates had gone home,
and it was wrong to press this question now.
Mr. Campbell. What did they go for?
What business had delegates to leave until
the business was finished2 (Shouts, laugh
ter, cries of go on, question, give it to 'em,
&c, &c. rss.. --as ....'.-...s
After speaking some time, Major Gene
raj Eckley took the stand, and opposed the
resolutions. Theseresoutlons had never
been presented to the committee, and had
they been, they would have been kicked
out. s.--., .....-i -s-, -..
There were others who had worked as
long in the harness ofwhiggery and fought
hard III the ranks, as any other whig, and
they were satisfied with what had been
done. (Cries of good He opposed the
substitute, and begged of delegates not to a.
dopt It. II this pirit was carried out d.
vision would ensue, and we would have an
other convention, and the great whig party
would be torn by dissensions. You may
pack your little meetings around the stores
and by your cliques, but you cannot get an
expression from the hard listed yeomanry
by the I'd Monday in April. ...a
Much confusion, cries of question; order,
that is right Eckley; no it is not right;
make MIN get on the stand; soto voice, by
delegate on the wood pile: 'he is damned
fool take him down
MIR Dennison said that it was true the
resolutions had not been presented to the
committee, but after the adjournment, in
full and free consultation with wings, as
good and true as ever lived, they were a.
dopted. The wings could come up here,
as they came in Feb, l64O, on the I'd Mon
day in April, Ia voice in the crowd said
TO make April fools of themselves, and
then all differences rs to men could be
healed. He went for the substitute. Was
wings fearful Of trusting the people in the
matter of appointing PRESIDENT (Cries of
yes, id if you aint; laughter, &c He.
Mr. D., thought it looked so. Pass the SUBJ
stitute. and all division at once is healed.
He was authorized to say that Governor
Morrow wanted the substitute adopted.

Gov. Morrow. No such thing; | want

Mr. Dennison. Gov. Morrow wants them
