that The resolutions appIaudins the
course of Judge Douglas in the Senate.
and approving that OF Hon. John G..
Davis, were rejected by majority Of
six. 1t nowappears that the convention
was decided by some lcdgertemain trick
Of the Secretary; aud that the resolu-
tons irstead of being rejected, were ac-
,ually adopted by maj,rity OF two
votes. The delegates from Vermilliuu
county, which is recorded b. the Secre-
tary as voting against the resolutions,
published card and declare they gave
the vote of the county in favor Of the
resolutions, and insist upon having the
record corrected. The Journal, which
is a good Democratic paper. regulates
the fraud, aud says: "that this dist let is
