Mr.. Giddings said be was the one who was
referred to as not concurring. He did not o2-
pose what had been read buth he thought they
should have gone farther. He was for saying
more about the position Of the President and
his followers. But perhaps these resolutions
are as much as the occasion demands. They
are much better than they might have been.-
tie hoped that they would be adopted with
uuanimity.
The resolutions were then put 10 the Con.
ventiOn, and one loud aye responded from all
parts of the House. Not mo- was heard in
the vast assemblage.

unity with which the plat form was agreed up
on, the convention passed a resolution to pro.
ceed TO the nomination OF the several candi.

tions:
Whereas, The result of the contest in Ohio
between the friends Of fire edom and slavery is
of vastly more consequence to The people we
represent, to the county and posterily than
the fate of men ; and whereas there seems to
be conflict of men merely, which threatens
to destroy that harmony which ought to pre-
vail in this body, and to put in jeopardy the
success of great principles, therefore,
Resolved, That we the representatives ofthe
people Of the State who are enlisted in the
cause offreedom, deem it expedient to withdraw
from the canvass for the Gubernatorial candi-
