S,.,es in return would support that Individual

There being cries for the reading of the ar

Mr.. r. read from the New York Times of
Saturday morning, telegraphic despatch
dated Baltimore, Friday June Is, headed IRE.
lstiye strength of the candidates, the prospect

Of New York delegates, a protest perhaps, the
Oswego districts" &c.
Mr. Raymond replied that he was under
obligation 10 the gentleman from Georgia for
his reading the whole article. The matter was
first brought TO the notice Of the Convention
hy ]. Watson Webb, not a member of il, part
" for political purposes, and partly from ma
llcous motives.
The despatch, he said, appeared in the Daily
Times Of Saturday morning last. Ii would be
remembered that the platform was adopted on
Friday afternoon. The only point in the de.
snatch which was alleged 10 involve the charge
Of corruption tof which gentleman were very
properly seusitive) was this: Tomorrow it
isbeIieved that Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia,
and one or two other States, will give Scott the
nomination on the third or fourth ballot. The
Northern Wings gave way on the platform with
this understanding" Now, the construction
pu, unon the word understanding was bar
gain, corruption. The gentleman from Geor-
gia had drawn from that word the inference
that il asserted that a bargain had been made
between the delegates from these Southern
States and Northern Wings. Now, with refer
ence TO this, he would say that he disclaimed,
disavowed, repudiated, and repealed, in the
strongest language which could possibly be
used, all intention or thought of making any
such charge. [Appiause.l Furthermore, the
words which preceded this, showed clearly that
he intended no such thing.
Delegates from Southern States denied that
any impu,ation could be cast on their action
and the resolution was finally laid on the table.
