Nf''0f-'iSsHf the following resolution.
 Resolred, That the report of the Com mittee on Credentials be recommitted to the same committee, with instructions to inquire into and report the facts.
 MT. Bayly next rose to address the Chair.
 Mir. Foman of Georgia desired to be heard.
 Mir. Bayly said that he would himself willingly yield, but his colleagues in the committee were desirous that he should proceed.
 The Chair. The gentleman from Virginia will proceed.
 Mir. Bayly. do not rise to resist the motion of the gentlemen from Connecti- cut. As far as am myself concerned, have no objection to the recommitment ol the subiection with the instructions which are asked for. But it is my duty, as an humble member of the committee, to place its conduct in true light. l beg to say n Rmine, that the gentleman is entire ly mistaken in regard to our action. Let me say, that when the committee met, one of the most pathetic and eloquent appeals that ever heard from the lips of man was made by a gentleman from Georgia to both delegations from New York. He implored them to settle their differences, and not trouble the great democrat. ic party of the Union with the adjust. ment of them. As to the application O the test, as il has been called, if is only ne. cessary 10 remark that the New York delegation was the only one that was questioned. Had others been questioned the same test would have been proposed.
 Mr. Forman. am instructed by the Georgia delegation to say that we will no vote for a "wilmot Proyiso man. TAp plause, and cries of ''onler."1
 Mir. Bayly. What does the pledge proposed by the committee mcanl Why nothing more than they shall abide by the nominations. It does not ask anything more than that they should merge thei personal preferences in the nomnatlor of the convention. No doctrines were propounded to them. Nobody can sup pose that u man can be caucused or con ventionized out of his principles. Tn, doctrine of the democratic party, from tht
 first, has been that of non-interference Applause. 1t is part and parcel of tn, democratic creed. But, to come to tn, main point, made by the gentleman iron Connecticut. He says that we refuse t hear the case of the Utica and Herkimc delegation until they have given pledge What was not the action of the committee , Doubts had been thrown upon both dele gatons, and we proposed this test as preliminary qucstion--to ascertain thei right of fellowship with us. Applause. | itwas a question which properly precede' that of their right to admission. We de sired to know before we allow them t come into our family, with what purpos, they sought admission whether they in tended harmony or mischief What wa the duty conGaed to us Was it merely t look at papers? No. We had 6 right t, go further than that, and ascertain thu views and purposes with which these dele gations sought admission. That was ; necessary preliminary question. As tc the attempt to throw reproach upon tho committee, all he could say was that i was pcryaded by an earnest desire, if pos sible, to heal difficulty which existed Besides, it was all along understood, ant distinctly stated, that our report was not tc be considered as excluding the convention from decision of the matter in any way Ourduty was ian unpleasant one-one to bt avoided rather than to be sought. Ou !, wishes has been, from beginning to end to make such decision as vii be agreeable to the democ racy of New York, and thelr brethren throughout the Union. l have only tt remark, in conclusion, that the gentle man from Connecticut, in making an allu sion to vote in the committee, was mista ken. The vote was sixteen to eight and had it not been that one gentleman objected to delegate from one district the vote on the admission of the Syracuse i convention would have been seventeen t, seven.
 ! Mir. Fornan called for the previous question, and expressed the hope that thi house would sustain it.
 MT. Yancey. No! Do not let us ap ] ply the gag.
 Mir. Forman. Tho gentlemen iron Alabama is fond of hearing himself mak, speeches, which believe is not now ii order. er
 1 Cries of"order."l
 I alr. Hannegan asked what the previ ous question was!
 The Chair stated that it would be upo, the adoption of the report.
 | The question upon the demand for tn, previous question was then put and dec ded in the negative by an overwhelming vote.
 I Mir Yancey. I think may freely say in the name of that justice which adore that thank yoa for the vote just given. ii not seconding the gag of the previou: question. [Applause.] l think I car thank you in the name of the democracy in refusing to send forth to the world the announcement that you are willing to de eide upon an er part statement. [Con tinued applause.] Far be it from me tc svonathisa with tho ,,r;,,a;>I I. .i
