Mr.. DcGraT, of New York, offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That in our opinion the public
domain belongs to the people of the United
States, and that Congress has power to dis
pose Of it for the benefit of the people. We
therefore believe that it would be conducive
to the common welfare of the people and Of
the Government to give limited portions to
every actual settler, to be inalienably enjoy
ed.
This was referred to the committee on
Resolutions, without debate in accordance
with the resolutions authorizing the appoint
ment of committee on the Democratic
creed or platform. Mr.. Nabers, to test the
sense of the Convention, offered the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That this Convention will not 90
into nomination for President or Vice
President, until the platform of the party is
laid down.
Applause and debate ensucd.
The above is the latest despatch received,
at the time of going to press. If, as is prob
able, the resolution of Mr.. Nabers was adopt
ed, the day has been occupied in debate, and
no ballotings will take place before to-mor-
row-ifthen.
