BALTIMORE, June ZSu, NJ nc IHC"'tS
! is crowded to-day. ThR Douglas delegates
from Louisiana and Alabama have taken
seats.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Cum
mings.
Mr.. Dodge of Iowa moved to dispense
with the reading of the journal. Agreed to.
| Mr.. Garnett of Ala. moved to have the
names of the delegates from Alabama cor
rected according to the lists sent up.
Mr. Caldwell, of Kentucky, stated that
/ after the withdrawal of the delegations last
/ evening, they held meeting and re-assem-
bled again this morning. The circumstan-
ces in which they were placed were exceed
! ingly embarrassing, and they were unable
| to come to harmonious conclusion. The
! result is that ten delegates will withdraw
/ from the convention and nine remain. Those
that withdraw beg leave TO submit paper
stating their reasons for withdrawal. Five
others desire for the present to suspend ac-
! ton with the convention without taking
/ part in any other body. In suspending
+ their action in the convention they hope
/ there may vet arise an opportunity to act
| harmoniouSly with the convention and
| therefore retain their seats and the right to
! act with the convention. Should such OPP
/ portunity arise, it is the wish of the ten
! that withdrew that their votes may not he
| cast by any other party. The action on
! their part has been taken without anger or
! bitterness, and in the deepest sorrow. They
/ do not cast censure anywhere. 1t was not
for them to question the action of any. in
! dependent sovereignty, but 1t was felt TO he
| their duty and policy to return to their con-
stituents and leave them free to act, should
there be two candidates in the field. He
now Withdrew the name of that disinterest-
I H. Eut tbria haf ba pp,1-
vention as a candidate for the Presidency.
He then presented papers from those who
suspend action, and also communication
from the Hon. Jas G.. Leech, one of the del
| egates stigmatizing the action of the con
vention in harsh terms as unfair, undemo-
cratic and irregular and attacking, the ma
iority in violent terms. The latter paper
was read first, and after it had been read,
Mr.. Payne of Ohio moved to return the pa
per Immediately to the gentleman who pre-
sented it, with the intimatiOn that the con-
vention declined to receive it. Cries of
ayes, yes, that's right
Payne did not recognize the right of dele
gates seeding from the convention, to in
suit the majority or impugn the action of
the convention, because a majority passed
on the credentials of those claiming seats in
the convention.
Caldwell assured the convention that he
had no knowledge of the contents OF the
paper Just read 1t had been handed to him
while on the floor. The other papers would
be found perfectly respectful in language
and temper.
Payne moved that the paper be handed
back to its author.
Sayless of r. |. hoped the motion would
prevail. The paper was direct insult to
the convention as impugning the conven-
ton, and direct insult also to the Douglas
delegates who had taken seats in the con-
vention. lie trusted the paper would be
instantly separated from the others and re.
turned to the writer He acquitted Cald.
q we'll of all knowledge of the contents of the
paper, and felt certain that he would not
have presented it if he had known It's true
character.
; Crum of Mo. hoped that the paper would
be received He desired TO defend and jus
tify the action of this convention on the
stump, and that paper was the best argu.
ment against the seceders.
Richardson of Ill. suggested that the read
ing of the other papers be completed first
| Leech of Ky. disclaimed any intention tC
offer an insult 20 the convention, or any o
its members. He believed that the fact:
stated in his paper we're inconuovertible
and believing them true he had stated then
convention.
The reception of the paper was unani
mously declined, aud it was returned to tht
K writer.
