MIR Samuels of Iowa, asked the Charms
y II there was any document in his hands fro
the Florida delegation, claiming seats in Il
: Convention. The PresIdent--there was hs
k ded to the Chair only a newspaper, containir
d the official proceedings Of the Florida CONVEX
d tion Mr.. SamuelS--I ask if any thing in th
| convention shows that any OF the delegate
d from Florida are not accrediated to this cor
II vcntion. The President-that can only |
n ascertained BY perusal OF the document.
y Mr.. King, 0! Mo, obtained the floor. Fl
o desired to know if the seeding delegates, as re
r ported in the newspapers, had rowing commi,
e sion. The gentleman from Massachusetts, (I.ol
t ing) had stated that he would himself with
b draw from the Convention, IL its action did NJ
t suit him, He (Ki"g) was not prepared to sa
, that. but he thought that the seceders wb
: owed double allegiance were not entitled t
!, seats in the Convention. If the Conventio
. decided otherwise he should bow to its decis
> ion. He argued that under any circumstance
? the seeding delegation should be subject t.
the will of the Convention, and il reports wer
true, he did not believe they were entitled t
seats at all. There had been, since the Char
lesion Convention, no meeting of any Stat,
Convention In Texas. Could any one say there
had?
Mr. Johnson. of Md, replied that the actor

the people Of that State.
Mr.. King had asked question, aud could
only consent to be interrupted for an answer
not for irrelevant remarks He denied that
any Convention had been held in Texas. and
that the delegates were not accredited to this
Convention. He then read protest of the
Texas delegation when 1t withdrew, and dss.
lgnated 1t as an insult to the Convention.
Mississippi had come duly accredited without
contestants lie was willing to submit her
claims to the Convention, but if it was found
that her delegates have been accred tied to
rival and opposition Conveption; that they
have been there and organized; that they had
not acted but had taken q recess, he would
not vote to admit them. One of the deIeca.
tes had said that he came here as he want
to camp meeting, because he had q right to do
so.
lie believed such delegates came here for
mischief. There certainly was ground for SUP
posing that they meant to 90 back to their own
adjourned Convention if they could not have
theiro way here 10 all in their power to
dlScredit this Convention, and to put up can
ddate who has not heels an lsbottom, enoug.to
geta Democratic nomination. .s
If these delegates are elected to Richmond
with the right to come here for this purpose
so help him God, they nsver would ret his vote
although, if the Convention saw fit to admit
them, he should be prepared to meet them As
gentlemen.
tie next reviewed the action Of Floriia, who
had not bean accredited at all. AMI the Conven.
ton was asked to close Its eyes to this ACT, and
sdmit them. He declared that South Caroli
ma alone had preserved her consis ency and dig.
nlty for they did not come here at all. She
was disunionist in Jackson's time, and is dis. |
unlonlSt now. The Charleston Mercury, which
was the organ Of Rhett, declares this convention.
to be stumbling block in the way Of a dissolu-
ton Of the Union.
Mr.. King then alluded to the orders that had |
gone forth from Washington, signed by gentle
men who had better been attending to their du
ties, directing the secedars to come here, and !
telegraphed them they would probably'get their
platform, and If not, they would again seceie
and then Virginia would go with them. Yes,
Virginia, Col bless her, had been told too that
she must sece le, and her eldest dlu shter. Ken
tucky was to CO. Then, by the programme,
North Carolina and Tennessee, another mother
and daughter, were to 60 forth, and even Mis-.
souri,, it is said, was to follow, The object and
meaning of these Washington orders were sim.
ply this: "[f Mr.. Douglas must be nominated
we will draw forth these States from he con-
7ention. and so be able toturn round upon them

Lincoln" 1t was said, too, that the highest

That it was not regularly in session, and SO he
supposed the Richmond convention to Law clam
