He said: 81 understand that the action of this
Convention upon the various questions arising
OUT OF the reports from the Committee on Gre

cable. And 1t has become my duty now by direc-
tlon OF a large majority Of the delega alton from

Mr.. Mont Of Va, obtained the floor.
The portion Of the delegation from Virginia
which retired then left their seats and proceeded
out Of the Hall, shaking hands with members of
various delegations as they passed along.
After order had been restored
Mr. Mont said-lf il be your pleasure, Mr.
President, and the pleasure Of this Convention

| WITHDRAWAL OF NORTH CAROLINA
Mr.. Lander, of n. CHR President painful
as the duty is, IL is nevertheless my duty to an
nou1ce here, as a representative OF the delegates
from North Carolina, that very large majority
OF them are compelled TO retire permanently from
this Convention on account of the unjust action
as we conceive, that has this day been perpe-
trated upon some of our sovereign States and fe-
low citizens Of the South. We of the South
have heretofore maintained and supported the
Northern democracy for the reason that they are
willing to attribute 70 us in the South equality
In the Union. The vote to-day has satisfied the
majority Of the North Carolina delegates that
that being refused by our brethren OF the North
ern democracy, North Carolina-Rip Van Wrinkle
as you may call her-can no longer remain in this
Convention. The rights Of sovereign States and
Of gentlemen Of the south have been denied by a
| majority Of this body. We cannot act as we
conceive, in view of this wrong. | use the word
"wrong" with no intention 10 reflect upon those
gentlemen Of the North Carolina delegation who
differ with me or With the majority of the dele
CATION. For these reasons, without assigning any
more, as | have no idea Of infiicting a speech
upon this Convention, who are in no state of
preparation to receive IL, | announce that eight
out Of ten Of the votes Of North Carolina ask to
retire.
