Calls 81 question.
M. blair, 81 nd, endorsed All that had been
said BY the gentleman from Ponnsylvania. He
did not desire his State should exercise any con.
trolling power here, and was willing that every In
Gov. Cleveland, Of Ct, was not Ntlshed with
Mr. Blairs remarks.
Mr Hair regarded this whole movement as per
nicioqs Maryland was entitled e a iel vote here,
the Republicans would have had no opportunity
70 investigate the frauds or the Democracy :
lCheers The Republican party g not sectional
thatat the next National Convention the whole
slave states Of the Union would be represented.
Republicans desired to make no war upon
Slave States. that was in imitation of the
enemy. and he called on the Convention TO do
no act that could look like seetiOnahsm.
Mr.. Tyler of Indiana, called attention to
the call ofthe National Committee, which he
read. This was a question which could not
be raised. The call Of the Committee had
invited all who desired to overthrow corrupt
Democracy in the States TO act with the Con-
yention. IL not most arrant knaYes and
hypocrites, they could not now deny the right
of representation to Slave States, Loud
eheering.l
The Territories and the District Of Columbia
were, however, different situated. They were
included in the call They could give no vote
for the ticket, and he was willing to admit
them to the floor, but did not deem it right TO
give them vote in the formation of tick
ct.
Gov. Reeder said much unnecessary de-
clamation had been used on this question; the
proposition had been made to disfranchise
any State here All northern States asked
was that they should be put on equally with
the southern States.
II Northern States only represented from
two or three Congressional districts, they
would not be allowed to cast the whole vote
Of the State. All that he asked was that
Nd, Va, and KY, should cast votes for all
the Congressional districts represented and no
more. No man had felt more and could sym
pathize more with those who had been crush
ed down by slave power than himself but all
he asked now was that all the States in the
Union should be put on an equal footing here.
Mr. Buckland, of Michigan, moved an
amendment by referring back the paper of
Oregon to the committee also.
Mr. McCrillis of Maine, thought that if
Territories should be treated according to the
rules of Federation and admitted to seats, not
to votes, Kansas should not be included
She is State now; she is in the Union, for
she ought to be, and would be but for the cor
ruption of the slave Democracy.
he declared that Maine would gladly take
to her bosom, cold as it might be, her warm
sisters of the South.
Mr.. Hickleman Of Iud, did not object to
the admission of any State but Texas.
he did desire that the question be investi-
gated and the delegates from Texas should
show who sent them there.
Texas said they didn't believe the Republic
cans would stife the voice of Texas because
! she was an infant child she was at least grow
ing; the germ was there, ard are long they
would have powerful party there.
He regretted the motion should come from
the gentleman from Pennsylvania, State
/ that was afraid even now to declare herself
as pure Republican organization and did not
not dare to stand upon pure Republican prin-
ciple. A lie, cheers and Kisses from Pen
nsylvania. Such action was contemplate
and dastardly.
Mr.. Eggleston, Of Ohio, thought the COM
mittee should have courage sufficient to say
who are and who are not members of the Con-
vention and entitled to vote If ther have
not, let them make different reports, and then
the Convention can act upon the question.
The various motions 70 recOmmfI were lost
by large vote.
Mr.. Lowry of Penn. moved to recommit
the entire report and called TUr voUe Dy
States. He regarded the report as evasive Of
duty, for nothing respecting the title Of dele
gates to seat was mentioned.
Mr. Benton of N d. said the sub-commit-
tees had fully investigated the title of delegates
to seats, and were satisfied all were regular.
The President decided that under the rules
q vote by States could not be called, but fol
convenience the States were called.
The motion to reeommit was carried-ayea
2758, nays 1874. The following is the vote

d The vote created great interest and excite
ment. 1t is not however regarded a tes
vote, as the Southern States voted aye because
of the declicacy of their position.
