I Tho President had n paper read, presented to

Mr. L,ring, of Mass, said ho was detained
from Charleston by atllction in his family. When

Charlcstony Whom he saw those delegates here
standing at tho door again. ho felt it WAS duty
to open their arms and take lhon in Those del

Mr.. Richard Merrick, Of H.. sad that those
delegates Who bad retired lom Charleston had
blotted their lanes forever from this cony nyentoD.
lie urged that all the delegations trom tho seced-
ing States shonll 60 to tbe epnlnitLee, whether
they were contested at not, aud that committee
should report whether they Grs entitled to seats
here. II they must have war between the Union
ind dsuhion democracy, why let it come.
Mr.. Samuels, of Iowa.. inquired whether thcro
was any paper hero accreiliog delegates from
Florida2 lie understood that they did not ask
for admission. ..
The President replied aLat there had been hand
ed to him published nswspaper report OF the
proceedings Vi the Florida convention.
A member remai koJ that that was tho old re-
port.
Mr.. King, Of Missouri, was opposed to recev-
ing these gentlemen here with roaming commits
sions. to come here and elsewhere. lie did not
think that these gentlemen ought to have seats
here again, even after their claims were nyesti-
gated. Mississippi had reaccredited her delega-
tes, and their credentials should b sent to the
committee, and if all right he would vote " let
them in The delegates who had gone to Rich
mond and had come here asking admission, had
only como here for mischief. and he would never
vote to let them come in here. Florida was not
accredited to cone here. and yet gentlmen were
willing to let them in. South Carolina was the
only State among tho seceders which had pre-
served its dignity. 1t has been charged on the
streets that this was bogus conyention-that
they were functus oticio They had taken high le-
gal authority at Washington, it was stated-the
Attorney General. he sapposed-ani had decided
that this was n bogus convention.
Mr. West. of Conn.,, contended that the democ-
racy of Connecticut were loyal to the Union.--
