OBJECTIONS ARE MADE
Mr.. Corbin and Mr. Parker objected to spy.
thing Of the kind. Mr. Corbin would not con-
cent TO lend himself to . scheme that would 10
any possible event assist in the election of
Douglas. He considered that Douglas had
caused al the disafection No " existing in the
Deu ocrstic parry; he had no confidence
whatever in the man. Should such an arrssg &.
men: be mad,. the D.uglas wing would not
hesitate in ssi,iog them out when the time
came for dividing the vote; he was for the
original resolution.
Mr.. Parker agreed with Mr. Corbin, and

and Edwards.
LINDLEYs PATENT RIGHT SCHEME.
j. J. Liudley. E q sSid he had . few sus
gesti; ns to offer. He thought he had plan by
which the R publieans could be very easily
beaten In Iowa With the division in the
Democratic ranks. he thought that most Of the
Southern States would 60 for Bell and Everett,
and he would inquire of the Democracy if it
would no, be far more preferable to allow the
Presidency to fall into their hands than into
the black republicans?
The Democracy always gained strength when
out OF power, and by adopting his plan they
would, in case Bell aud Everett " ere elect. d,
be able at the end Of four years to whip
any ytling that could be brought against them
His plan va, that the Breckinridge and Lane
Democrats and the Douglas Democrats Of Iowa
vote for the eams Electors, and the Bell ard
Everett Whigs Of the state vote for the same
Electors, and ii the Electoral votes Of this
State added TO the Electoral votes Of other
Stat 20, which are to be cast for Breckinridge
and Lane, will secure the election Of there gen.
tlemen, then the Electoral votes Of Iowa shsll
be cast for Breckiaritge aud Lane. But, II
the election Of Mr.. Breckinridge cannot be
thu. secured. and that of Nr Douglas can. then
the Electoral votes Of the State shall be cast
for Mr. Douglas and if neither of said gen.
tlemen can be elected and the preponderence
of the votes of other Sts,es are in favor ol
b II aud Everett. then the votes of th State
shsh be cast for Bell and Everett.
MIR. Ii diey soppor,ed bis scheme 10 very
plau.ible speech. but portion Of the meeting

With the understanding that his suggestions
should be hereafter considered, Mr. Lindley
consented that they should be laid upon the
table. Mr.. Elv wards also Withdrew his amend.
