We learn thA& the Convention was
eharaeaesfHea by great harmony and uni
ty, ia ssntiment and feeling. The only
qsAation upon which there Vas amy d.
TeRsify of opinion was the subject Of
proxy voting, and on this question fhare
was considerable discussion before the
Committee on Credentials, where it vas
decided that proxy votes should nos be
received.
We hare nat, RoR do not, sdFoeats the
principle Of voting By proxy, where tie
ConTenfion IL held at 3 eeAtral point (;
yet We havs been unable TO discover by
what right majority of any Coaysntion
disfraushises any portion Of the State, Of
District. II the Counties hold their
meetings and elect Delegates TO the Goa
Tention, the Convention has no right TO
inquire where thesg Delegates reside,
aud the same principle IN applicable
where the Delegates are authorized 10
Delegate their powers 10 others. all
that the Convsntioal can do, ia TO sseer-
tain whether DeisgaEs have been elected,
but it has no legal or equitable right 10
inquire into the place Of residence Of the
Delegates. The question who the Del
egatss shall be, is question to be desi-
dsd by the county, and if they ehooss to
elect men residing u an adjoining eoun-
ty, they have night to Do 50, and the
Convention has no right to reject the
Delegates thus elected. In the late Con-
vention, the Missouri Slope was to ell
infsnts and purposes disfranehised. We
think while oHr Eastern friends have 8
large majority in the Convention, and
while they make use of that majority 20
elect men on the Central Committee WHO
call Conventions at points far East Of
the geographical centre Of the District
s0fthout consulting the West, that they
could afford to be jast, and allow the
West fair representation. Il seems,
however, thas supreme selEshness is theI
only matiVe 10 action On the part of our
Eastern friends. We have heretofore
demonstrated against their pursuing
such an unjust eouFse--We hare even
b sggsd for our rights and hare always
met with saseEiBg rebuff from eur over
wise sud self-cOpeeited Eastern friends.
They do noss however, reject our two
thousand Democratic maiorisy-~0h, nc,
that il very pleasant To have, when
CandidaAs woaid be defeated without it. |
We said we hare demonstrated against
the injustice a de assEraaohisesaens Of /
the Wsst--ysa, we hare begged for our |
Eights.
