numbers were against me, and ed to the support of
that party oil my powers because believed it be
sentative; but to-day and yesterday 1t if all
these great views to be laid aside and the power Of
numbers without regard the question Of the sovereignty
of the States is to rule. [Longcontinued applausel
Mr. President beg pardon for thus trespassng Cries

power Of numbers, disregardng the constitutional rights
Of the States. [Cheers. 1t seemed to me that they
were laying down train which only needed the match to
be applied to it to blow the whole party atoms There

throughout the whole Union. Vehement and long
tinued applause
Mr.. AsHMus. I rise to make suggestion which
trust will meet with appreciation from all parties 1t is
that we are prematurely becoming excited upon what
deem to be rather mmateral question It appears to
me that we are delaying the proceedings of this Conven
ton because SO long these discussions renewed
so long the Committee Credentials will not remain in
session. because they deem it duty which they owe to
their constituents to take part in the discussion Of this
question, at least to watch its progress They will
not therefore 60 and attend their duties as
mittee until this discussion is concluded.
Now, say to my friend from Georgia. and my friend
from Pennsylvania that think there is no such occasion
for alarm they to suppose Let have the Con-
vention organized by the report of the Committee Gre
dentias and then let proceed to the dispatch Of bust
ness and before another word be said that shall stir up
these jealous feelings, deem it my duty to that
this Convention for the purpose of allowing the Commit
tee on Credentials to proceed with their abors do
adjourn until ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
The question being taken, the motion was agreed to
and the Convention accordingly adjourned.
