| When Rhode Island was named, Mr.. w. B
Sayles said the first choice of that State is
Lewis Cas- but the delegation, finding their
vote for tina, gentoman unavailing, and con-
ceiving that they had discharged their duty to
their constituents, would now cast their vote
for the second choice of that State. Stephen A.
Douglas. a man who. they believe. would be
acceptable to New England
| Loud applause succeeded
The roll was called through; but all the
Virginia delegation not having arrived, the
Convention waited for them.
| In the meantime. the President said few
days ago resolution was adopted for the ap-
pointment Of one delegate from each State. to
report persons to constitute the Democratic
General Committee. The Delegations, there
fore, would he pleased 10 hand in the names
Of those whom they may respectively select 10
the Secretary.
Judge johnson, Of ore wing Of the Georgia
delegation. asked. owing 10 their peculiar po-
sition, that they have the privilege Of appoint

Colonel Reeder arose, presenting hand
| bill, addressed to the members of the Nation
| al Democratic Convention, in which the adver-
| tiser solicited attention Tor making cast iron

by mistake. Therefore he moved that spe.
