zation by any important movement or proposition,
and he answered that he did not. | consider that
gentleman, therefore, pledged >ag ainst any such
proposition as this till the Committee on Credsn-
tiss shall have made report as to who are to vote
on these resolutions. We are not prepared 70
vote upon them, for we have not yet deter
mined who are members of the Convention, and
who are entitled to vote. We cannot vote upoa
them with propriety in the present confused state
of some of the Delegations in the Convention. The
resolutions are Of the most important character
and embrace question Of great delicacy, and up.
on which there is, unfortunately such difference
of opinion among the Wings OF oil sections Of the
country. Upon such a subject it is important
that there should be vote Of the Couver
ton given by the persons properly entitled
to vote, and by none others. We want nothing
but what is fair, and will submit to nothing
but what is fair. We are willing to wait
Tor the report of the Committee on Credentials,
and for decision upon that report. We are VIII

who is said never to tire. Who can say who 70

states his surprise that these resolutions have
been introduced. lie was not more surprised
than am at the evident feeling with which they
have been opposed. The gentleman from Mssss'
chusetts may have said he would not introduce
any proposition Of this kind, and he will doubtless
feel the full force Of his obligation but that eoars
by the gentleman from Massachusetts does not
exclude any other gentleman or delegation from
any State from making any proposition 1t thin"
proper. am willing that when this Commits
on Resolutions shall report, that their report shaa
be laid over until after action on the report OF the
Committee on Credentials and we shall have de-
cided who is entitled 10 vote in this Conyent'oa.
There can be no objection to taking up these rss'-
lutions and adopting them. He then explained n'
three resolutions and said, what objection c"
