Mr. G. W. Printy had DO idea OF making 8
lengthy speech. He was ike gun that had
been tried once. If be had hung FIRE, they
need not vote for him
Mr.. Whipple rose 10 explain his vote against
the first resolution He did bot wish to intro
duce any dissension in the convention but
thought the language of the resolution might
as well be changed. as it gave opponents q
chance to charge upon Us that We endorse every
act of the Administration. Not that be OBJ
iected TO il as liable TO that construction, but
thought the language was such that others
might. While be was willing to indorse the
efforts of the Administration to put down the
rebellion. be did not wish to indorse the Chi
cage Platform. He wished the resolution to
approve the acts of the Administrator for the

DR.. Pratt wanted the first resolution TO
stand as it was. He wanted to indorse the
Administration. If the gentleman desired to
fix up something that their opponents would
not object to, be would find that be had under
taken big job-that the Dixieites could play
upon an instrument commonly known as the
harp of thousand strings" He was not in
favor of changing the resolution to suit the
views OF one tender footed man.
Mr.. Ever was 10 favor of the resolution
There was but one question before the country
that of Union or disunion. This resolution
Endorsed all the acts Of the Administration for
the suppression of the rebellion, and judging
of its future course BY the past pledged the
party to sustain the Administration in any
means adopted for the suppression Of the re
beion.
Mr.. Whipple explained that he was willing
to indorse the acts Of the Administration fol
the suppression of the rebellion, but there were
some other acts that be thought the people
would not wish to indorse
The Secretary read the first resolution, wher
Mr.. W. W. Hobart offered the following as &
substitute therefor
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the present
National Administration in the prosecution of The
for the suppression of the rebellion and pledge
ourselves to sustain it in all lis efforts TO preserve
the Union.
The adoption of the substitute was moved
and seconded, when the President (Mr. Gas
kill) spoke against it, and in favor of the
original resolution. The spirit of freedom wa;
marching onH Slavery had been abolished
in the District of Columbia, and prohibited
forever in all the Territories of the United
States, and no party would ever make war fol
its restoration to those sections. The emanci
patton and confscaton acts were calculated tC
aid in the suppression of the rebellion, and the
Administration should be sustained.
A motion to lay the substitute on the table
met with ready second, when Mr.. Printy
suggested that the motion carried with it the
original resolution also. The President thot
the proper course would be direct vote on
the substitute.
The parliamentary tack of Hon Geo W
Printy relieved the convention of its dilemma
He moved to reconsider the vote by which the
first resolution was adopted, at the same time
expressing the hope that his motion would be
defeated. \ motion TO indefinitely postpone
the motion to reconsider, was carried amid
tumultuous applause, which showed the pleas
ure the convention experienced on being re-
leved from the nightmare thrown upon it by
Mr.. Hobarts substitute. The convention then
proceeded to ballot for nominees for Member
of Assembly from the east side of the river
with the following result:
