MIN, winch was entirely unexpected, as there were
present older and more experienced gentlemen who
were, in his opinion, better fitted for the position

AFTERNOON SESSION.
AT o'clock the convention again assembled and
was called to order by the president
The first business in order, being the remainder
OF the report of the committee on nominating
permanent officers and presenting rules for the
government of the convention. Mr.. Contee chair
man. presented the following rules:
This body is to be governed by the general parlia
mentary rules laid down in Jefferson's Manual
In taxing vote on question, if in the alirma-
tive or negative is given Uiro roce and announced
by the president, is not satisfactory to any delepa
ton-that delegation, any other has the right to
order call of the body by delegations The vote
is then to be counted by delegations and each dele
cation to be voted represented in the House of
Maryland.
The question being taken, the report was adopted
unanimously.
Col. Gale, of Kent county, then offered the fol
lowing resolution which adopted unanimously:
RESOLVED, That the thanks of this convention be
rendered to Cen Henry 6. s. Kew, for the able
manner in which he presided over the convention
during the morning session.
Outerbridge Horsey, of Frederick county, now
moved that the convention proceed to nominate
candidates for the office Of Comptroller of the State
Treasury. Adopted
Mr.. James H. Grove, of Washington county. put
in nomination the name of Bradley 7. johnson. ESQ
of Frederick.
Mr.. johnson arose and thanked the gentleman
from Washington comfy, for the honor conferred
on him; he however, felt bound to decline the nomi
nation; there We're other gentlemen more wor-
thy of the post than he, and who could
do more for the party at this time than he
was capable OF doing. He would decline in
favor of other candidates-hq thought he was
unable to canvass the State it ought to be can
vassed. The counties he thought ought to be so
canvassed, that they could send men to the House
of Delegates, who would have the nerve to pass
laws which would put down the club-rule in Bati-
more, who could disenthrall the citizens of that
place. The counties owed this to themselves :
they could give majority of five thousand outside
the city for the democratic nominees. Let the
counties make fight for the legislation, and if they
dr. right they can carry it with the House OF
Delegates and the Senate they pass laws, which
will forever put an end to club-rule in Baltimore
In declining to have his before the conven-
tion he would put in nomination the name of Abra-
ham Lingan Jarrett, of Hartford county.
The announcement of the name Of Mr.. Jarrett,
was received with much cheering.
Mr.. Augustus Gassaway, of Anne Arundel, said
he requested by his delegation to second the
nomination of Mr.. Jarrett.
Capt Mitchell, of Frederick, offered a resolution
to the effect that although the convention allowed
Mr.. johnson to withdraw his name as a candidate,
they would pledge themselves to support the nom
lnee OF the convention, whoever he might be. The
resolution was adopted.
Mr.. James Steele. of Frederick county, moved
that the nomination of Mr. Jarrett be made unani-
mously, which was adopted, amidst loud cheering
Mr.. Walsh of Hartford arose and said that he was
much gratited to know that the convention had
nominated gentleman from his county, a gentle
man whom he knew to be sterling Democrat
He (Walsh) would like to make a Speech from the
bottom of his heart, but he could not speak; he
would again express his qualification at the seec-
tion made by the convention. Cries Of Garrett -
Garrett were then heard in the room, but that
gentleman did not come forth.
Mr.. George IL. Carman, of Baltimore county,
then moved that committee be appointed to wait
upon MIR. Jarrett, if in the city; inform him of his
nomination and invite him to the convention.
The President asked how many should be ap-
pointed Mr.. Carman said one from each county.
ll4aughter.) Tell sir, as many sufficient to
bring him here.
Cries of "three's enough"
Mr.. Carman said let there be three then.
The chair appointed George II. Carman, ex-Gnv.
Lowe and Joshua Vansant, the committee to wait
on Mr.. jarrett and inform him of his nomination
The committee then retired.

magnanmous spirit of genuine American freedom. and
that this convention inspired by the recollection of the
sacred pledge against this 'eRdedUorr in times long
past hereby pledges itself and its constituents IN the pre-
sentand in the future to unwearyiRg struggle against
any similar "endedrOr."
3d. ReSOred That this convention looks forward with
undimnshed hope to the period when good old MARYLAND
shall be redeemed regenerated and dsenthraed by
irresistible genius of true Americanism-that Ameri-
cansm which springs out of and has root prin
cipes of American liberty embodied in written form
in the Declaration of Independence Constitution of
the United States and the laws passed pursuance
that Constitution during the early days of the Republic
That this hope though long deferred hath not made sick
the hearts of true sincere Democrats-that 1.-The price

freed from the influence Of the then remaining institutions
in opposition to its true genus will have been well nigh
for naught the power Of the great conservative party
of the nation shall be broken that its fragments viii be
accompanied by the fragments of the government and
Herewith by the fragments of the truly proDortonpd

such ruin cannot be contemplated by a Democrat
ana patriot without emotion too big for utterancethat
conciiaon and compromises this day as necessary
to the preservation of the integrity of the democratic
party as the elements essential the orma
uon of the government. The differences of opinion
essential ought to bo tolerated and frankly cordially
discussed and that what essentials of democratic
creed is not open question be settled by opinion
of any of duly authorized but set
foundation of the government where new eXDo
stOns necessary to BE- made, the authority to
make them resides only in the Democracy of the nation
assembled in national council.
g. ReSored Taa the predominance in the public coun-
ellis Of this State by the falsely called American party

the city OF Baltimore during its there for Eve
years constitute, in the judgment this convention
