Semi-weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1852-1853, 1852-06-09

Mr.. Cave Johnson moved that the convention pro-
coed to the nomination of candidates for the President
and Vice President at four o'clock this afternoon
and that the same be made thespecal order for that
hour. IS
IS FIVE o'clock this afternoon followed by stamping
of feet in appreciation of the suggestion.
Mr.. Johnson moved the previous question, but it
was not seconded; not more than one-fourth of the
convention, probably, voting in the affirmative.
General Commander, of South Carolina, asked to
be heard In relation to that portion of the report the
committee on credentials ruling him delegate,
and which had been concurred in by the convention.
But this privilege was refused.
The convention took up that part of the report of
the committee credentials relating the contested
seat from the second district of Massachusetts, which
gives the seat to N. J. Lord, instead of Robert
nays 80.
General Nye said he had voted to sustain the report
of the majority, and therefore moved to reconsider the
vote.
He did so from the fact that he was conscious the
convention, in voting the important resolution, in
so hurried manner, could understand the merits
of the question. He had never seen Mr.. Rantou
until yesterday, but he thanked God he had innate
love of justice which compelled him to take posi-
ton in behalf of that gentleman, General Nye DIP
Peaed to the justice and magnanmlty of the conven-
ton to reconsider the vote pronounced against Mr..
Rantoul.
The president then announced that the resolution
of Mr.. Cave Johnson had been modified follows {:
Resofued, That the Convention will proceed to the
nomination of candidates for President and Vice
President at the present time, and that the be
the special order until the nominations shall have
been made.
Rapturous expressions of delight, and stentoran
cries of "good," "good," let's have the vote,'
"agreed," agreed - amid which the gavil was
heard, as usual, such occasions.
Mr. McRae moved to postpone the consideration
of the resolution until after the committee the
democratic creed and platform shall have made their
report.
{" Cries of" -" no,'' intermingled with demands
to order, and "question,'' question:
MIR. McRae, there general disposition to
vote the resolution, withdrew his motion to post
pone its consideration. Tremendous ApplaHse.l
gentleman moved that the voting be postponed
until the delegations consul but this largely
voted down.
The convention then proceeded to vote for candi-
date for the Presidency, the clerk beginning with the
State of Maine. AS the votes of the several States
were given, applause followed from the respective
friends of the several candidates. There were loud
huras, and persons in the galleries occasionally gave
vent to their joyous feelings The greatest possible
excitement prevailed throughout the proceedings.
Finally, the vote was announced, amid comparative
quiet, as follows:
