For the sixth resolution, being that mentioned above
as accepted by Mr. Cook from Gov Smith, and providing
how the electoral vote shall be cast If it cannot be
cast as in any event TO secure the election of Breckenridge
or Lane Gen Banks of Madison offered the following
sphs,itute.
Rered That as the rights Of the South Constitution
sae In the pending canvas We cordially Invite
all OPPOssG to the election Lincoln spd aan 70 unite
prd new and Joseph Lane Of Oregon the Vice Presidency
Of the United states
Mr.. johnson, OF Petersburg, was willing TO vote Tor
the substitute as distinct proposition, but not as sub
sttute.
Gen. Banks thought the adoption OF Cooks resolution
would drive oil more from their own ranks than II would
win to them: .
Mr.. o. j. Wise explained the scope and ehect oil the
resolution the vote OF Virginia would MOI carry Breck
inridge into the house then woud not DC neeuea 10
carry either of the other candidates there since they
would be there already. The only erect oil the resolution
would be- in certain contingency, 10 allow the Electors
10 choose between Everett and johnson, which should
be the Senate. And since gentlemen would press
that issue upon him. he had no hesitation In saying that
between Everett and johnson he didn't care iathing
which got It.
Gov Smith rejOined in Few remarks in which he de-
clared his readiness TO support etner Dell or
necessary to defeat Lincoln lie also the opn
ion that Breckenridge would lose oregon' thougu nc
thought Lane would carry IT,
Mr.. Crank, OF ALTERNATE, moved 10 lay the whole SUD-
ject on the table Inc mouoh was lest
Mr.. u d. wise, OF Aceouine, oYJeeVeu W Tue re'ou,
ton, because It's elect Would De 10 encourage ana
strengthen the Wings.
Mr.. o. j. Wise thought II would give the Electors
chance to logroll That might recommend It TO some
gentlemen, but It was 10 him an additional ooJeenon
Mr.. Jones oil gloucester, opposed tne resolution, De
