The President, in view Of the crowde,
and heated state Of the Convention callet
attention to a complaint that members of thu
delegations were in the habit OF sending
their tickets out for the admission of stran
gers and outsiders. He appealed to the hon
| or of members not to suffer themselves to b.
parties to such an unwise breach of the
Rules of the Convention.
A delegate, calling attention to the guam
tty of work already done, and that the com,
mittee on credentials not being ready to re-
port on the New York controversy, moved
that the Convention adjourn.
Mr.. Hubbard of Texas, was enforcing the
necessity of having full vote on the great
question of selecting the Presidency, when
he was interrupted by Mr. Petit, of Indiana,
who said
Mr.. President If the New Yorkers are
not ready to come into the Convention and
participate with us in our labors, there are
other States that are ready, and move that
we proceed to vote for the candidate for the
Presidency and and for the Vice Presiden-
cy Great Applause.
Mr.. Hubbard resumed-The motion is to
proceed to vote for candidate for Presi-
dent ana Vice President. In the Baltimore
Convention of 1852, when there were con-
tested votes from New York and Georgia,
the Convention decided that it would not
proceed to the nomination Of candidate
for the Presidency, until the contested elec-
tions were determined. New York sends
two sets of delegates whose claims are un-
der consideration by the committee on cre-
dentials. Whatever may be the decision,
at least one of their delegates will be enti-
tied to seat, and perhaps both. New York
has right to be heard on the momemtous
question Of the nomination Of candidate fol
the Presidency. We thought there was
sufficient soundness in the Democracy o.
New York to recognize the platform adopt
ed by the Convention without the formality
of their voting. But on the nomination o
the candidates we have no right to deny
them a hearing. | trust that the gentleman
will withdraw his motion.
Mr.. Petit withdrew his motion.
H. Salisbury, of Delaware--Sir, we have
done more to-day than has generally beer
done by Democratic Conventions. We have
gone, in the adoption of our resolutions, be-
yond the precedents Of previous Conven
tons. 1t would be wise for us not to proceed
further and too rapidly, but to act calmly
and discreetly and he was therefore in ia
vor of adjourning TO hear the committee on
Credentials.
H. B. Wright Of Pennsylvania, said HI
was one Of the committee on Credentials
and the committee had been much engage
in hearing the parties in the contested cas-
of New York, but that it would be prepare
to mako report on tomorrow at Q O'Clock
Mr. Wilson of Iowa was in favor Of ad
journing, but he added that he was agains
waiting any longer on those gentlemen VIII
could not settle their quarrels at home. H
would not wait day longer for them thar
tomorrow. If they were not prepared t
come into the Convention and arrange thei
difficulties, after areasonable time, he hope
that the other States would proceed to pei
form their duty, and discharge the trust 70
which they were sent here.
The vote to adjourn on tomorrow at
o'clock, A. NJ, was then taken and carried
