aud one of the Delegates to the Baltimore
Convention.
The last two propositions were not agreed

Previous to the calling for this Report, Re-
port was offered to the Convention by Mr..
Dunn. of Poland as follows =
| Resolved, that the Hon. Asa. w. II. Clnpp
and the Hon. Shepard Cary: be, and they
hereby are elected MS delegates at large, TO

This was laid on The table for the present.
AS the proceedings at this Convention are of
general interest to the party, we copy pretty
fully from the re- ofl prepared for the Age.
Mr.. Bell made brief statement Of the
grounds of difference between the Two
branches Of the committee; remarking that
the demand of the friends of convention
that they SHOULD have both delegates besides
one of The electors. was deemed nureasona-
BILE and was not therefore needed TO. Be-

MIR. Walker modified his motion so as TO
make il motion 10 postpone till after Thurs

MIR. Sewnl moved 10 lay the motion to
postpone, on the table. Mr.. S. said that the
question of The re- nomination of Gov. Hub
bard, although made the specious pretext by
the other side, 10 obtain The lions share, was
not in fact proper subject for concession.
His nomination was matter of duty-re-
quired both by usage and the voice of the
performed. without a disregard of our obi
CATIONS. Unless he were nominated, it was
clear that The Stare would go by the board !;
and in order to produce harmonious action
on this question, lie had heen willing 10

which had been offered in committee, and

could be made with lie opponents of Gov.

was unreasonable. He would not consent
that the majority should 60 to the minority,

ability of arriving AT any amcable adjustment
of this matter. Postpone il till next Thurs
day, and we shall he no nearer satisfactory
conclusion than we are now. The longer
The controversy is kept open, the more angry

MIR. Boynton Of Penobscot, opposed action
on the question of nominating Governor
until after the meeting of the State Commit
tee, on Thursday next. Courtesy 10 that
committee, who had been notified 10 assem-
BILE here on that day from all parts of The
State, AT great Inconvenience and expense,
demanded This course.
Mr. Leavitt of Somerset, felt bound by the
wishes Of his constituency to vote Tor the
resolution rc-nominaiing Gov. Hubbard

wishes, on the subject. lie, however, adj
vocated a postponenent Of the nomination,

lie unprecedented from following this course.
He thought he could assure the convention,
that il would OIL assembling next Thursday,

Commitlee would not in any event undertake

that the State Committee would consent to
