Mr.. Stanard then moyedto amend the resolution BY
inserting The Eastern members to be selected by those
coming from districts East of the Blue RIDGE and III,
Western members by those coming from districts Yves
| of the Blue Ridge"
In the debate on this amendment, Mr.. Scott of F
declared himself willing to compromise on fair terms
but said he could give his vote for surrender
the Eastern position He invited Western members Il
| let il be known whether they would accept compro
mise that did not involve such surrender and he ex
planned that he regarded surrender every ploposi
ton which, like those rendered by the Western Gem
mtee on Saturday night demanded that the suffiag &c
basis should be conceded either in PRESENT. or in somt
| definite period. 1t the Western members would init
mate their willingness to concur in a compromise with
ont such surrender en- the part Of the East, Mr. Scot
| announced that he would gladly vote for the commit
| tee.
| No inmation Of the character desired by Mr.. Scot
was given. Mr.. Summers could only be induced Il
say that he like Mr.. Scott, stood ready to compromise
| but not 70 surrender.
| With this earnest inquiry, the part OF the East
| whether the West would accept any CT mpromise tina
did not involve concession of the Western utimdtun
propounded on Saturday hight, and vague, unsas
factory response from the leader of the advocates ofh
suffrage basis which equivalent TO distinct reaf
| frmaon of that ulmatum as the only condition upor
| which the proposed committee could frame repor
which the West would agree to, the committee of the
whole came to a vote on Mr.. Stanard's amendment

The want Of unity, exhibited by the Eastern men,
bers upon this vote Twas the of the mode in which
the committee was to be appointed, and ha, mode, il
should have been oreseen, would inevitably produce
report tf the committee should agree upon any report
at alb which would be sustained by the Western mem
bers unanimously and carried by the aid OF the votes
| of the Eastern members who should be placed upon
the committee and few others willing TO 60 as far as
might be required in compromising.

An analysis of the votes given for each member OF
the committee will sustain the general assertion that The
white basis members, by voting in body, with few
Eastern MEMBERS elected all the four Eastern members

manner, elected the four Western members, except
that Mr. Summers received large Eastern as well
as nearly the whole white basis vote.
