Mr.. Sayles, Of Rhode Island, hoped the mo
ton would prevail. The paper was direct
insult 10 the Convention, ;mpugnIng the ac-
ton OF the Convention, and also a direct insult
TO the delegates who had taken seals III the Con
vcntion. He trusted the paper wonIc be 10
stantly seperated from tie others, and returned
10 the writer
He acquitted Mr.. Caldwell of all knowledge
OF The contents of the paper, and et certain he
would not have presented 1t ii he had known
IFS true character
MIR. Krum, of Missouri, hoped the paper
would be received. He desired TO defend aud
ratily the action OF this Convention the stump,
and this paper was the best argument against
The actlun OF the seceders.
Mr.. Richardson, of Illinois, suggested that
the reading of the other papers be completed
| first
| Mr.. Leech, OF Kentucky, dScIamrd any IN
| tenton to offer an insult TO the Convention, or
| any of its members. He believed the facts sta
| ted IN his paper were incontroyerilble. Be
| ltevng them true, he had stated them plainly,
| but without intent 10 insult the Convention.
| The reception of the paper was unanimously
declined, and II was returned to the writer.
Mr.. West, o. Connecticut, called for the
question on proceeding to a ballot for can
dldates. This Is the sixth day OF the session
and the country is weary of the proceedings.
Mr.. Reed, Of Kentucky, on the part OF Por-
ton of the delegation from Lentucky, declared
that he had seen no cause why Kentucky should
desert the Democratic Convention and the Dem
ocGatic party. The doomed city was TO be sd
we'd if five true men could be found therein.
Here were nine delegates from Kentucky who
intended to redeem and save that State. They
recognize this Convention as the only Conven-
! ton OF the National Democratic party. They
will have no secion2sm at the South or North.
They will stand here as a pillar OF fire between
the men OF both extremes. They are not going
TO abandon the Convention because one great
| leader, whose pathway from Washington TO
! the great West had been Illuminated by gallant
deeds, was evidently TO be nominated.
The State Of Kentucky would come to the
support OF the nominee OF tins Convention,
| whoever he may be, and the delegates present
/ would stand BY the action of the Convention
l'though the heavens fall" His colleague had
/ withdrawn the name OF Guthrie from 5etorr the
! Convention. He begged on his part 10 present
! that name again.
| Mr.. Clark, OF Missouri, desired to announce
the action Of the Missouri delegation alter con-
sutation.
Mr.. King of Missouri, hoped his colleague
| would say part Of the delegation, because
some are here who don'L wish the idea TO go
forth that consultation was necessary.
| Mr.. Clark said such was the fact. A por-
ton of the dele CATION had met for consultation.
/ Hwo had agreed TO withdraw out Of ;he eigh-
teen. The remainder will stay here where
their constituents sent them-with the Nation
| nj Democratic Marty nf tbt. TniOu
| Mr.. Hill, Of North Carolina, announced that
while he found nothing in the action OF the
| Convention 10 cause any man TO Withdraw, he
yet felt that he should paobabIy be doing lnjus-
tlce 10 his constituents if he remained in action
| with the Convention when the majority had
withdrawn.
Mr.. Moore, OF Delaware, attempted to take
-he floor, but objections were made and there
| were loud calls for the question.
Mr.. Jones, OF Tennessee, said that only thr-
teen delegates from Tennessee had Withdrawn.
1t was represented that nineteen delegates had
withdrawn; but six of these were simply APP
pointed by others and had no delegated author
ily. Cries of quest;on-questlon
Mr.. Cooper, OF Tennessee, rose TO a question
OF privilege, and scene of excitement ensurd
He desired to reply to Mr.. Jones' but the latter
disciaimeG any alusion to Mr.. Cooper, and the
Convention drowned his voice by cries Of
'.Quesiou, question"
Mr.. Jones, of Pennsylvania, raised point Of
order. This was no place to settle private quar-
res.
The President decided that all the remarks
were out OF order. He desired to present TO
the Convention two papers, one from Mr.. Stur-
| man, OF Arkansas, the other from the delegates
| from Georgia.
MIR. Paine, OF Ohio, moved to suspend their
reading, and lay them on the table After
| some Skirmshing this course was agreed to.
| Loud calls for the question Were then made,
i when
| The President, Caleb Cushing, rose and beg
| ged the indulgence of the Convention. He
said that when he had accepted thesposition of
! Chairman OF this Convention, he was aware OF
trouble looming up 10 the distance. He had
remained with the Convention in his seat, in
! the hope that harmony Of counsel would al last
| prevail. That hope was taaclous, and be
! deemed it his dut, in the present emergency,
| while rendering his grateful acknowledgements
10 all gentlemen for the courtesy extended to
| him, and particularly to those who had differed
with him ~ policy, and while expressing his
personal regard and cordial respect for all the
members of the Convention, he deemed it his
duty now to resign to Mr. Todd. OF OHIO, his
| seat in the chair. A loud and sudden burst ot
applause broke forth at this period of his speech,
| the President rappng to order
Mr.. Gushing added, amidst the confusion,
that he would now take MS seat on the floor of
| the Convention, to abide by the action of his
fellow delegates.
The applause continued for several moments,
and as Mr.. Cushing left the chair, the whole
Convention IN body rose, the members wa
