should not be put down. lie was not prepared TO have
any resolutions or address crammed down any man

mated, Sir, that the gentleman who spoke just pre-
vious TO the last one was alone beg leave to Assure
The Convention that he is not aone that l. for one,
stand by him first, last, and all the time. There has
been considerable doubt aud quibbling as to whether
tie blame is on the North or OH the South. 1 take
issue with the address and resolutions precisely on this
point that they decide that the North is in the blame.

confusion drowned AL individual voices or about five
minutes.
TIE President-The Chair has no right to violate
parliamentary law or to interrupt a speaker by the
presentation OF a question while he il speaking. II
must be evident to the speaker that the Convention
does not desire to hear him, and that if he persists the
only result viii be to break up the Convention II he
persists IN going on, the Convention must take 1t iuto
their own hands Loud applausel.

The President-1he Convention has reached that
state when ii is Necessary that the Chair should act
decidedly and promptly. The Chair therefore declares
It's intention of carrying ont what is evidently the
whole desire Of the body of all this people The Chair
therefore will put the question on the resolution. All

Commodore Robert i. Stockton, ROdman VI. Price,
Peter ID. Yrooin Joseph f. Randolph, Benjamin vii
