late last night. 1t wound up its labors BY three
hearty cheers for the'State Government and Con
stituton. Three cheers were also given for Col.
Lane. the President of the Convention, and for
Gov. Robinson. The only resolution on which
there was any discussion which involved the tune
when the State Government should go into opera
ton. was so amended as to strike out the words
:. when we are admitted to the Union" leaving
simply $50 soon as the necessities Of the people
shall require" The substitute Of Judge Conway
amounted TO the same thing, but went on to detail
the specification and urge It's acceptance II was
defeated after long and pr0racted discussion the
weight of many Of the old leaders being against it
Mr.. Deabay, Gov. Robinson, Col. Lane, and others,
throwing ali their influence to defeat it, while Judge
Smith. Dr. Morris, Mr.. Walden Of TIE QuindarO
Chndouan also opposed it, although deyo,lng most
Of what they said to other topics.
Judge Conway was Chairman Of the Committee
that framed the resolutions. Indeed ! understand
that lie was the Trainer Of all save the fourth. For
this the Committee made substitution He brought
his resolution as Independent one, dissenting as
member Of the Committee. The discussion was to
some extent personal one. The other nine lnem-
bers of the Committee embracing Gov. Robinson,
Messrs DeIahay, Holiday, Dietzler, Lane Oakley,
Judge Smith and others made to some extent,
point Of piQue Of the dissent and labOred to
floor Judge Conway Had the substitute been
framed in simpler language, and not given those
who fought it an opportunity TO load 1t with
signfcatiOns which it did not really con-
vey, it would have been adopted. AS 1t was,
when the substitution was voted down. an amend
ment was Immediately offered, such as | have men,
toned striking out the idea that the action of the
Government be- deferred until admission, and the
amendment was carried by a vote so decisive that
no one ventured to vote against it when the nays
were called Judge Conway's substitute was sus-
tanned by Messrs. LcOnhardt of the Sixth District,
Army and Phillips. The latter suggested the
amendment which was carried, when the motion
as amended was adopted
Tlxs Convention has afforded evidence of the re.
viyiDg faith Of some who, ia times past seemed to
have neglected the Free-State cause. Lieut.. Gov.
Roberts is here He has made no explanation of
the past did he participate actively IN the Con-
ventiOn. Col. Delahay, whose term Of inchOate
representation is just about expiring, was here an
active participant. The Colonel has been modified
a little since his old Constitutional Convention days.
He declared that though he was a Democrat
he would be insulted by the prefix " National" 1t
will be remembered that he was one OF those who
came in 1853 to found " National" Democratic
party. He had still enough OF the old leaven work
ing in him, however, to oppose any action OF the
people with the Government, save that of electing
officers. His propositions were sarcastlcally re-
ceived questions asked, and keeI rejonders put In,
until he Just about broke down. Under this lniiu-
ence his positions began to modify considerably, but
his yielding spirit was evidently not prepared FOR
such notifications as would proportion him 10 the
popular standard, and he sat down in a somewhat
used.up condition. He replied to Judge Conway.
The Judge is an able and effective speaker, but his
youthful appearance gave his opponents an OppOr-
tunity to spoil his position through that point, aud
convey the impression that there more enthu-
siasm than sagacity in his elaborate position. After
Mr. Delahay, Mr.. Phillips was called OUT then
Governor Robinson, Judge Smith, Colonel Lane,
and four or five other speakers all opposing the sub
stitute. Governor Robinson took the strongest
ground as just and expedient but adopted the reso-
luton as reported, to harmonic all. He was willing
TO 90 as far as any man, but he enumerated elab0-
rately all the obstacles that would from what
he conceived to be the spirit Of the substitute. He
was in favor of the people in the counties taking up
the organization as far possible aud using it, but
ile vas opposed to the Convention saying 50 exPi-
city.
Ihis was the elaborate discussion of the whole
Convention. 1t was settled virtually in the very
strongest position but the nominal substitute on Tue
terms and introduction Of which the Whoie discus
sion was founded, was defeated. Personal causes
of course led to this and the too lengthy character
Of the substitute. The amendment which iuilnedi-
atey prevailed was clear index. -
Col. Lanes speech was peculiarly Lanelsh For
miracle, he appeared as the orator of conserya-
tive course This is not his forte, but he conducted
il with some skill. Jms motto is success lie
had taken his position, and stuck 10 IT.
Judge Smith, who is good speaker, occupied
good deal of his time in enunciatng general prlncl-
pies which meet with very cordial assent. His re-
marks against the substitute were intepectonal
Mr. Thatcher Of Lawrence was called ont and
gave very good speech IN exposition OF the lrauas
of the spportionment. What rendered his remarks
more striking was the fact that Gov. Walkers car
riage with himself suite of attaches and ladies',
drove up to the back Of the crowd-which was so
large that it had to assemble out OF dOors-and
halted to hear. He again heard very accurate
and elaborate exposition of that stupendous fraud
in a fraud and is we'll posted now on the manner IN
which he could secure fairness, and the only way
he has any power to do it.
1t was 10 o'clock, or later, before the Conven-
ton adjourned. Late as it was, Gov. Walker ana
his IMAM Friday again went through their stere-
otyped exercises-Perrin rehearslng - his speech
with considerable gusto. He introduced one new
Illustration, namely the old story about the trans
mogrifed pigs and puppies an Illustration OF the
mutabhty Of politicians When he wound up with
his usual pathetic quotation about the flag, some
person in the crowd, who wished to encourage him,
suggested, Three cheers for the pig and the
puppy" which were given with much laughter Col.
Lane then urged his way up, and gave, " Three
'cheers for the bood-sta banner OF the State
Constitution, " which were given with Will, and
thus broke up the Governor Convention
