Of Columbiana:
ResOlued, That in the opinion Of the
delegates assembled in this Convention, in
the future it is impolitic and wrong in the
Republican party to nominate any person
rs our Representative in Congress more
than twice in succession; and that hereaf.
ter no man that has been our Representa-
tive in Congress for two terms should pre-.
sent himself as candidate for that office.
The resolution was decided, by the Chair,
improper for the consideration Of the con.
yentiOn and not coming within its purpOs.
es and objects. Whereupon on motion of
w. r. Lloyd, the decision Of The chair was
sustained.

Mccoy Of Oolulnbiana. on motion Of P.
Hull Of Carroll, were appointed as that

The following resolution was submitted
and lost by vote Of lS to IL,
Resolued. That as q general thing It is
we'll for the interest Of the Republican
cause to distribute Offices within the gift
of the party fairly and justly among the
different counties comprising the district |;
and that .he principle Of rotation in office
is in good degree essential to the success
Of the Republican party.
Mr.. Bingham came forward, and in a

ination and thanked the convention for the
honor they had conferred upon him.
