Mt. OAHLtLE: rue COmmlItee nave III :
structed me to report a resolution, and /
trust the gentleman will withdraw his, il
this meets his appreciation. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Resolred That the loyal people OF the counties OF
this Commonwealth that have not yet appointed
delegates TO this Convention, not actually rep
resented here, be, and they hereby earnestly
delay.
Mr.. HAwxHuRsr Withdrew his resolu-
tions.
| Mr.. PIERPolNT, of Marion, hoped every
member would see the importance and
propriety of adopting the resolution of the
Committee at once, He trusted after that
was done, that effective Measures would
( he taken to communicate the information
contained in the resolution, 10 those coun-
ties without delay.
/ The resolution was then adopted.
| Mr. FRosT, of Jackson, offered a resolu-
ton more especially, he said, with refer
euce TO his section of the State. 1t IS as
follows:
peace Of the citizens Of Virginia. this Convention
earnestly requests all persons within her limits
engaged in rebelious movements against the FEDERAL
Government, to destst from all such demonstrations
and return to their Allegancei and that this Con-
ventlon does PeremptOriy require all SedltiOus as
into the service Of tho Southern ConIederacy to be
| Immediately dIsbaudSd
The resolution was appropriately re-
ferred.
Mr.. CARLrLE suggested that if there were
/! no business before the Convention, it
would greatly facilitate their objects to
have the committees at work, and if agree
able, he would move to adjourn till to-
morrow morning. He subsequently with
drew the motion to adjourn, and asked that
he al NhaR Nhn
mittees have leave to sit during the sittings
of the Convention, whieh leave was granted.
Mr. BURBETT said gentleman from Bar
bour was here with partials credential.-
Barbour was Union county, and the mem
Der of the Legislature from that county
having run of with the secession army, be
wished to enquire if it was not competent
for this Convention to declare this gentle
man the delegate elect to the House OF Del
egates from that county, and thereby make
him a delegate to this Convention. He
thereupon moved
That this Convention declare Nathan H.
Taft the delegate for Barbour comfy in the
Legislature.
Claims of the gentleman were now under
consideration by the Committee on Creden-
tials. Their report would be made shortly,
and he asked respectfully that little time
be given them.
Mr. BURDETr withdrew the resolution.
Mn. LAMB, of Ohio, suggested to the gem
tleman from Taylor, that the proper course
to pursue would be to pass Mr.. Taft's Gre
dentials over to the Committee on Creden-
tails. That would be the proper course in
any instance of the kind.
Sin. PARSONS, of Tucker, thought it al
together wrong to take the consideration
of such matters out of tue hands of the
committee appointed for the express Pur-
pose demonstrating them.
Nh. BURDETr said the gentleman from
Tucker misapprehended his remarks. He
believed it competent for this Convention
to fill vacancies for the House of Dele
gates. There appears to be one in the
county of Barbour. We have right to
Indicate Mr.. Taft as the delegate, aud re-
ceive him here us such; but think it bet
ter for the committee to report on the mat
ter first. therefore move to refer the
claims OF Mr.. Taft to seat in this body, to
tho Committee on Credentials.
Tho resolution was adopted.
Mr.. FRosT said that in glancing over the
rules, he discovered that according to rule
81, select committees should DO composed
of not less than nor more than H. He
called ntIentOn to the rule to prevent in
friDgement. lie thought, in view of the
resolution offered by the gentleman from
Taylor, and adopted by the Convention, in
creasing the Committee on Business from
ID to II, it would be proper either to alter
this rule, or reconsider the resolution by
which the increase was made.
Mr.. YANwINKLE moved to amend the rule
by adding the words, "unless by authority
of the Convention"
Mr.. LANE suggested that it would be
better to reconsider the motion,
Mr.. VAHwISKLE explained that the object
of his motion was TO legalize the action
aiken by the Convention this morning.
Mr.. BURDETT favored a reConstruction.
Mr. VANwLNKLE withdrew his motion,
and after some further discussion motion
to reconsider the vote by which the Com
mittee on Business was increased in viola
tion of the rule prevailed.
On motion of Mr.. Lamb, the 2lst rule
was then suspended.
On motion of Mr.. Burdett, the committee
was then increased by adding to it the
four gentlemen appointed under his former
resolution.
The Chair stated in justification of him
self that the committee had been formed
hastily, and without particular thought as
to whether the members were from the
east OF west OF the Alleghanies. 1t never
occurred to him that he was emitting
gentlemen from any one section of the
State. The additional appointments ON
the committee, however, would remedy the
omission
On motion the Convention took recess
till o'clock p. NJ.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention re-ossembled at 2 o'clk.
The Chair stated that the first business in
