could not have understood the proposition of Mr.

bly, and form new one more consistent with the
provisions of the Constitutions

the propositon-and he hoped at least that a
new Joint assembly would recognize the rights
Of the Representatives of the people on this
floor.
Mr. Cree said Caledonia county appointments
were ready.
Mr. Smith proceeded to oppose the motion to
dissolve, but gave way for
standing that nominations would be presented.
CALEDONIA COUNTY.
Nominations were presented from Caledonia
County, and read, when Senator Mclean said
that IN presenting nominations he had departed
somewhat from the usual form and appended rca-
sons for the nominations.
The Chair said paper was appended to the
report, signed by individuals and forming no part
OF the report oil the convention, which. so far MS
ne had examined, was lndecorous and insulting
TO the Joint assembly. He could not present ony
such paper, ruling that it was the business of
the County Conventions to report nominations
only.
Senator Mclean dsayowed any purpose ofin-
sulting the assembly and Senators Mclean and
Parker together with Messrs Smith, Mattocks
and Hunton, argued with considerable warmth.
that the papers must OF necessity be read, in or
der to determine whether the paper is indecorous
else the persons who signed it must lie under al
imputation which all examination might prove tc
be unjust
Mr. Hall inquired whether this paper had beef
presented to and approved by the county con
vention f)r the county of Caledonia.
Senator Mclean could not say that il ha,
been.
MIR Moulton said he was member OF the Cal
edonia County convention, and never had hear
of any such paper.
Mr. Maltocks appealed from the decision of tn
Chair.
Senator Chandler argued that if, in the Judo
ment of the chair the paper is ndecorous, It wa
most clearly his duty to decide it out of order
and Messrs. Converse and Kittredge took III
ground that the paper is entirely out of orde
whether decorous or not
Some misunderstanding existing whether tn
decision the Chair was based upon the cha,
acter ofthe paper simply, in the judgment of til
Chair-the President said that he did not decd
on that ground alonG-that it was not in order
present any lecture, dissertation, argument,
paper, to the joint assembly, other than nominr
tons; that he had read but par. of this paper
that part was highly indecorous and irree,
vant-and at all events, the paper was not
order.
The decision of the chair was sustained by
vote of l2l to rs.
Elections were then made as follows:
