sixth day of the proceedings of the Convention, and
the country is weary Of them.
Mr.. Reed, of Kentucky, on the part of portion
of the Kentucky delegation, declared that they had
seen no cause why Kentucky should desert Dem
ocratc Convention, and the Democratic party.
The doomed city was to be saved if five true
men could be found therein. Here were five del
egates from Kentucky who intended TO redeem
and save that State. They recognized this Con-
vention as the only Convention of the National
Democratic party. They will have no sectional
ism of the North or South, but will stand here as
pillar of five between the men of both extremes.
They were not going to abandon the Conven-
ton because one great leader, whose pathway from
Washington to the Great West had been lightened
by gallant deeds, be nominated. Loud applause.
The people of the country would step forth in
might and rescue it from the hands Of the present
Administration Immense applause, which con
tinued several minutes.
The State of Kentucky would come up to the
support of the nominee of this Convention, who
ever he may be, and the FIVE Delegates present
would stand by the action of the Convention,
though the heavens fall. His colleague had with
drawn the name of Mr.. Guthrie from before the
Convention but he, on his part, begged to present
that name again.
Mr., Clark, of Mo-, desired to say that he would
announce the action of the Missouri delegation
after consultation.
Mr. King, of Mo-, hoped that his colleague
would say part Of the Missouri Delegates, be-
cause some here do not wish the idea to go forth
that consultation is necessary.
| Mr.. Clark, Of Mo-, said that such vas the fact.
A portion of the Delegation desire to retire for
consultation. Two had agreed to Withdraw out
of eighteen, the remainder will stay here whore
their constituents sent them, with the National
Democratic party of the Union.
Mr.. HILL of North Carolina, announced that
while he found nothing in the action OF the Con-
ventlon to cause any man to Withdraw, he yet felt
that he would be probably doing injustice to his
stituents ifhe remained to act any longer with this
Convention, whom a majority the delegates from
his State had withdrawn.
NJ Moore OF Alabama, attempted to take the
floor, but objections were made with loud calls for
the questions.
Mr.. Jones of Tennessee, said only 3 delegates
from Tennessee had withdrawn. 1t was represet-
cd that 10 lad withdrawn, but six were simply ap-
pointed by the others, and had no delegated au-
thorty. [Cres of Question, question.
Mr.. Soue spoke nearly an hour in powerful de-
fence of the Southern friends of Dougla..
The P 'sdent decided that all remarks were
out of Ccuer. He desired to present to the Con-
ventlon two papers, one from Mr.. Struman, of Ar
kansas, and the other from the Delegates from
Georgia.
Mr. Payne, of Ohio, moved to suspend the
reading and lay them on the table.

/ of the Convention. When he accepted the posi-
| ton of Chairman of the Convention lie was
