"Virgina delegate who remained liz the

Did you hear any such proposition in the
the Convention, or out of it? heard moth
ing Of the sort. On the contrary. heard
a rumor on the street that Mr.. Yancey
was very willing TO go into tie support of
Mr.. Douglas, provided he (Yanoey) was
placed with him on the ticket for thmnH ice
Presidency. paid but little att } e
the rumor; but simply replied ts1
not vote for any ticket with YancS e
ca it. do not think | spoke of &c more
than once or twice, for did not think such
rumors worthy of notice. But, so far as I
heard anything Of the sort, it was that Mr..
Yancey was willing to support Douglas, if
he could get the Vice Presidency. And
sha. was mere rumor. SO that il there
was anything Of the sort, the boot is on the
other leg.
As to the lattar part of the paragraph. it
is silly. For everybody knew the Vice
President was to come from the South. aud
it is true that we were hunting for the prey
