/ ana II Is unnecessary 10 express them
here. The other convention was not dis
banded. 1t has merely adjourned -
Why, then, should we disband, instead
of adiouning to meet elsewhere if we
think proper?
CHARLESTON, May 3.
Mr.. Barry continued, saying that the
| platform may be openedht Baltimore, and
may be changed to meet our views. !
think we are delegates to that conven-
ton, and that we ought to go to Balti,
more. 1t our constituents choose to fill
our places with other delegates, they can
do so. We are as yet, however, still
members Of that convention, and no one
except our constituents can take our Gre
dentials from u.s. Therefore, he hoped
the course he urged would be adopted
The Prosident-Oh no, that will not
do.
Mr.. Hooper, Of Miss, opposed the
proposition Of Mr. Barry. We are no
longer delegates to the other convention.
We separated from them on principle,
and he was unwilling that they should
carry us to Baltimore as an adjunct to
that convention. If we adjourn without
doing anything or saying anything, we
will stutily ourselves. If we were to
follow them to Baltimore, we would lose
all the moral effect of this movement
/ Make your nominations now, manfully
and boldly. He was for acting. We are
here for an object and purpose, and, if
we 90 home without action, we will
merely be cnunciating a sentiment upon
/ which there is no difference Of opinion in
all tho southern States. This is the time
and the place for acting promptly and
/ boldly.
Mr. Yancy, Of Alabama, approved Of
the proposition Of Judge Neck for APP
pointing committee 10 prepare an al
dress, lie did not think it would either
save or break the Union. The delegate
from Georgia, in predicting a disanion
movement by disunion leaders, looked to
the Georgia delegation, but declined to
name who and what he meant Another
Georgia delegate seemed to charge him
/ 0ancy) with singing pnans to the
! Union.
Mr.. Jackson, Of Georgia. certainly
never intimatci that the gentleman from
Alabama sang ,pNans to the Union. Ger.
tainly no one Will ever charge him with
such an offence. My remarks were d.
rcctcd rather to my colleague, who,
thought, was placing Georgia in Il wrong
position. lie did not wish Georgia to be
in position Of singing pcans to tho
Union.
Mr.. Yancy would not misrcpresent
Georgia, but he did not wish this move
ment to 20 forth to the country either as
a movement to preserve or destroy the
Union, but rather to preserve the consti-
tutional RIGHTS Of the South, detailing
the position Of the southern States in re.
firing from The convention, and their sub
sequcnt action. We have adopted the
naority platform which that convention
rejected, and we propose to preserve it
as n head stone for the builders, upon
which TIC democracy Of the Union can
rely. lie therefore considered it essential
that an address should be prepared con-
tanning all the facts in the simplest and
briefcst form, placing us before the

tional position.
The question was demanded. The
resolution IS rs follows:
Rcso!ved That a committee Of one from each State
represented be appointed - prepare an al rcss 10
the people Of the United States explanatory Of the
reasons which have actuated this convention Ia
adopting the course Il Inns pursued and in yndica-
ton of its principles Of action.
Gen. Simmons, of South Carolina, was
unwilling to allow any committee to put
forth an address representing him which
he would have no opportunity Of prcvi
ously examining. lie was no politician,
but he had his own views. He did not
like some features of the platform, es-
pecially that relating to the Pacific Rail-
road and that which declares duty to the
Union as superior to the southern States.
He thought there was no necessity for an
address, nor would he follow the conven.
ton to Baltimore. When he came out
he left them forever.
Mr. Bryan, of Texas, was in favor Of
both nominations and an address.
Mr.. Jackson of Ca, offered as a sub.
stitutc a resolution that all who favor the
, action of the seeding delegates meet
! them in Washington on the second Mon
day Of June.
On motion, the convention then adj
