now The reports oil the commlttee before US.
Mr.. JOHN g. AUSTIN, of the Sixth ward, then
moved the following resolution =
Resolved, That We the members Of this convention
by way Of giving virtue and effect to our action do
tain and abide by the compromise established BY us
during his session. and we also pledge ourselves to
urge them upon our constituents after we shall have
adjourned in the ZANE earnest spirit and to - great
extent. as II every measure that the majority Of
have adopted, and every sentiment that We have en-
dored had been the spontaneous and personal act OF
each.
This resolution created considerable commotion.
Mr.. KENNEDY protested against being led blind
fold by resolution of that kind. AT the late
Baltimore Convention, resolution was proposed to
bind the members. The South refused to be bound
by it, Alabama was the strongest in her hostility.
Mr.. CoCnRANE thought that resolution ought not
to be passed in that stage Of the proceedings.
Captain RYNDERs said, he thought the resolution
was impracticable, though he was in favor of it,
They were not acting for the State, but the city;
and who would have the hardihoOd to say, that
eighttenths OF the democracy were not in favor Of
the resolutions presented by hint He did not be-
ieve in binding, by resolution, this gentleman

| all knew he sometimes quoted. (Laughter)
The vote was then taken on the resolution, when
| it was found that nineteen voted for and twenty
two against it. 1t was, therefore, declared to be
| lost. r1
Ex-Aldeman PuRDY moved that the reports be

| number of delegates here left the room.
Mr. BEAsLEy, Sergeant-at-Arms and Represen-
tative of the Fourth ward made several Intellectual
| attempts to be heard.
At length MIR. KENNEDY moved that the dele
| gate from the "Banner ward " do make his
| speech.
Mr.. BEAsLEy then came forward, and in style of
| eloquence peculiar to himself, stood up for the
rights of the South, and for the white slaves Of the
| North.
[Here there was scene of confusion, and loud
| cries of 7" Sit down. and SEQ on" were heard
| from many parts of the room.
Mr. kENEDY-I hope he will be heard.
| Captain RYSDERs-I hope the gentleman from
the Fifth ward will be heard. He is just as eo-
guent as Mr. Beasley. He has called for hearing
for him, because he knows it will produce confu-
| sion.
A division of the subject was then called, in
order to separate the address from the resolutions
Mr. CUrTlNG-This is to give the go-by to the
| resolutions.
Colonel MNa-I call to order
Mr. CUTrINe-Who is that who calls everybody
Colonel MINc-I am not aware that call every
body to order; but l have right to call you TO
order, when / see you travelling out of it.
The president decided Mr. Cutting was in order.
Mr.. CUTTING then went on to say that he OBJ
jected to the address being taken up and acted
upon now, and the resolutions at some future day.
The address would never have been agreed to by
itself, and he therefore insisted that both should
| stand or fall together. Ii any other course be
adopted, it will lead heart-bunings, and leave
matters worse than they are (Great and pro-
Mr. FERNANDO Woop then rose and said he
heard with great pleasure the remarks of the last
speaker, and he was glad to see the conciliatory
spirit he evinced in agreeing to non-essential mat
tiers, for the sake of peace and union. But surely
the gentleman did not imagine that the convention
could swallow, wholesale, twelve resolutions, with
out discussing them and taking them seriatini.

distinct issues-the address proposed by Dr. Ingra-

minority report by Mr.. Cochrane. The address

Captain RYNDERs threatened to move the pre-
vious question.

champagne corks were lying, you would not wish

A motion TO adjourn was then put and lost
Mr.. CUTTING again strenuously opposed the Ia
King up of the address without the resolutions.
Captain RyNDERs said he was OF the same opn-
ion.
Mr.. TnLou-This is convention ON the basis of

phraseoogy, not month nor year would suffice
The question is, what is the broad principle in
the documents, what the cardinal points and
doctrines; and do these agree with the principles
OF democracy! IL SO let them be adopted as a
whole.
Or. INoRAuAM said an erroneous impression
had gone abroad, that the resolutions and address
differed. That was not the fact.

as any barnburners, and he hoped the address
would be taken up first IL ever there was an
attempt to put the gag law upon public body, it
down the throats Of this convention wholesale.
Ex-Alderman PURDY-If il is insisted that the
resolutions be taken first up and acted ON as a
whole, shall not give my vote tonight
Mr. Purdy here left the room.
Captain RyNpERs-We only lose one vote, and
not much at that, either.
Mr. kENNEDY said he objected to the first part of
the address. II assumed that the whole democratic
party once held abolition doctrines. This was not
true they never voted for abolition. lie acted for
many years with the Landowners and they never
believed in abolition. lie objected TO the introduce

French Legislature. He objected 10 one OF the
resolutions, that which would pin hif q Henry
