Mr.. AsHxUS-I desire to say new, when the
question was raised about temporary orgsa'xa-
ton, | thought il was wrong although there was
some error about the House Of Assembly, owing
to the difference in the time Of watchs. do nos
believe, that among the VIII g, there was anybody
capable Of attempting trick, aud Dir. CHAIRMAN,
when saw YOU placed there knowing there .s no
more honorable man in this Union, was sorry 70

mttes have unanimously made nomination., there
is seeming opposition-l hope not real one-ss
it. am in no combination or contederaey. have
been concerned in no secret caucus to present q
proposition here. hope, in the FEELING OF conc'i-
alton and fervor which characterizes US, we shah
receive the report and accept and respond to the
nominations, and then adjourn until TO morrow
morning, when with sunlight, we may pro-
coed to rhe transaction of the business before u.s.
Mr.. VAN TRUMP wished TO say that Ohio did
| not intend to make any contest.
IA Noice-There are no better Wings thsa
those of Ohio
Mr.. ASHMAN-so believe.
Mr. Borrs-li there be any opposition TO the
organization of this Convention, then l do ne
know of il there was much weight in the re-
marks ofthe gentleman from Ohio, Mr.. SHERsAS,
whom do know personally. Virginia is rop-
resented here by forty-6ve Delegates, yet am
satisfied that no gentle nan of that Delegation de-
sires that Virginia shall vote more than the fifteen
votes to which the State is entitled in the electoral
college. | therefore move that the rules OF the
House of Representatives, so far as practicable.
be adopted for the government of this Convention.
Mr. SHERMAN said he would Withdraw his motion
to lay the report on the table II that resolution
should be adopted. The Chair decided that the
resolution could not be received until the report
was disposed of JOHN NJ. CLAYTON asked, who
is to vote on the adoption OF that report, and how
il the votr to be takeni Voices" Vote by
States" adopt it by acclamation." Mc. Ca

Mr.. SPEAR of North Carolina, hoped the Con-
vention would vote by States. lie represented,
in part, one of the Southern States. North Caro-
lima had many delegates here, but she does nos
ask for forty votes when she is only entitled to 10.
Great confusion and loud talking all over the hal
The CHAIR then put the question, whether the
vote on the adoption of the report should be by
States or not ard 1.-THE responses being nearly
equa), said he could not decide. lie then request
ed the ayes to stand and they were counted BY
the Secretary.
The CHAIR aunnnoced that there were $50 votes
