Here is the report, from the Iasgsa.ee OF MONDAY !,
what Gov. Johnston said Of the fifth resolution OF III

mak however lei the reporter to verify the report o.
the whole series and 10 republish them d MONDAYS In.
teAigSneer thus refed II is from this verified reno,
that copy the eighth resolution as above given in Il.
weakened form
Gov. JoaNsros observe by the papers OF this NOM
Ing 10 which attention has been caled--fof do MOI
read the newspapers very nuchthat in the publication
the iih resolution il is not in the form la which i
passed by the committee. OF which was menbe,
Tbs important amendment which Introduced into ina,
resolution by the Committee Resolutions is omitted in
tue resolution published in the papers OF this monin
make this statement for the purpose of asccrtainns
whether the journal Is In relation to this point and
that public attention may be called the fact that The e,
ola'ons were not published in the papers they were
passed by the convention.
'Ths President The secretary informs The Chair ,h,
his own record is coec and IL there any error ia on
the part OF the newspapers. The chairman of The Com
miuee on Resolutions has examined the Journal and states
that ii is correct.
Gov JOHNSTON. ask that the fnh resolution be read
"The President suggested the convention that an
official copy Of the resolutions they passed would be pr
pared
Mr. Asnsus Idesire ray that the Hhh resolution al.
sands upon the journal just twas read by me yese,
day, and precisely IL was adopted by the commute
am sure the Of the gentleman from could
not have deceived him, because the resolution was so i'm
poian that Il must have attracted his attention hen read
at the desk
Gov JOHNSTON. ! have doubt that the chairman Of
TIE Committee Resolutions read the resolutions corecv
70 The convention have made nsnuaon ap ainst the
gentleman and therefore presume that his ex s.
u unnecessary that extent
Ihe resolution was then read The omitted portion re.
icred TO by Mr. Johnston inserted in the National In.
but we repubsh in preceding column the
whole series, as in our first publication there some
inaccuracies arising from the haste with which the
were taken as they were read by Mr.. Ashmun.'
Now, will be remembered that the entire debate uIon
the platform had hinged on the eighth resolution No
other resolution Of the whole series had been alluded 10
in the discussions before the convention None other
had apparently been thought Of Men were giving all
their attention 10 the resolution on the sectional issues
Yet now appears that while ore OF the members OF the
committee was ynxeyed enough 10 detect the mnu,est
error in The newspaper report Of the resolution
he was stone blind-as, indeed. all the rest OF The
conyentiono the most astonishing discrepancy that we
have in the report of the sectional resolution
when compared with what is now published as the
official record.
For. now compare with the eighth resolution, as above
given, the following wholly different statement Of it's
terms, given in the official form over the signature of
the officers Of the convention. Here is the Official resor
ton:
8 The series OF acts of the 3lst Congress- commonly
known as the compromise adjustment (ihe act for the
recovery Of gives from Labor ncluded received and
asquesced In by The wings of the United States a. final
settlement in principle and substance of the subjects to
which they relate and, far these concerned
we will msintain them, nnd insist their enforce
ment, until time and experience shah demonstrate the
Of further gsaiion guard against evasion
OF the laws the hand and the abuse of their powers
on the ohernot mparng their present efficiency cany
out the requirements of the constitution and depecse
all further agitation of the settled as danger
Gus peace, and will discounenance all efforts
tinue renew such agitation, whenever, wherever, or
however made; and will maintain this settlement
essential to the nationality ofthe wing party and the ines
rity OF the Unon.'
What a change is herel Instead OF the emasculatsd
and muiaed resolution which reported to have been
"read by MIR. Ashmun." and "adopted by the conven
ton" here is all, and than ALL that the soulhem
wings reported Here is compromise" or covenant
here is .faottg'here is Constitutional mandate" or re-
qurement Every idea is here which we noted the
omission and careful Of in the resolution which
the convection adopted
In this state OF facts aver that here is every evil
dence OF fraud or bad faith somewhere.
We affirm, that, as the case stands no man can
believe that the convention Knowingly adopted the resou
ton in the form officially given il.
We affirm that every fac, in the case goes 10 show
that the convention intended 10 vote for it, and did vote
for it, in a very different and far weaker FORM
II this not 80, why this all-imporian reso-
luton wholly ignored and unnoticed when Gov John.
sion brought up the reported terms OF the resolutions
for correction II the resolution pas read and adopted in
,s Official shape, then why did southern wings permit
TO go all over the country in terms utterly inaccurate
and false, and Invested Of essential paris OF its true
meaning II this taken Intentionally, il il
its face gross cheat upon the country. and doubtless
upon the convention. IT, on the other hand, it be
olunder it is the most inexpcable bunder on record
II therefore behooves all concerned in this matter
ei the country know at once how il stands.
II is for Mr. Ashmnn to tell the terms Of the resolu.
ion as read BY him for adoption by the convention
Did he read given in the official FORM OF as given
Ind apparently subsequently verified by the repoel
II he read in the Official shape why did he not correct
The most material into which the reporters had
ALLEN, and which they had all over the country
is Tor Governor Johnston 10 tell us why he could
he mae in the report OF the revenue resolution and
could not the ban in the report OF the far more i'm
porlani sectional resolution
II sfor the president and secretary OF the convention
tell US NOT how the resolution stands on the journal
