extending the privileges of the resolution TO
delegates from the Southern States and the
District of Columbia.
Mr.. McDougal accepted the amendment.
Mr.. Tilden, of New York, opposed the res
olution, as it was manifest that no gentlemen
can be thus designated by the convention,
who come here accredited TO US, and they
may or may not represent a constituency
Ii might be otherwise in regard to the gen.
| tleman; but, under the circumstances, the
adoption of such resolution would, in his
judgment, be productive only of confusion
and disorder. (Cheers)
On motion, the resolution was referred to
the committee on credentials.
A communication, signed 81. III. Riddle,
Chairman of Louisiana delegation" was read,
and referred, setting forth that he and his
| colleagues were properly accredited delegates
from Louisiana, notwithstanding which, the
National committee had refused them tick
cts Of admission.
Gov. Wickliffe, of Ky, handed up two let
tiers, which were read, one from John w.
Leathers, and the other from James Il. Blu
| ehanan, both delegates from Kentucky, in
| which they explain their absence, by saving
that they are the victims of military despo-
tism, arrested without cause, imprisoned, and
/ denied a resort to the legal measures guaran-
teed by the laws of the State and cOnstitu-
ton to establish their innocence. They pro-
fess incl eased devotion for the Democratic
cause advise the adoption of a peace plat
foam, and are hopeful of the success of the
nominee of the convention. The letters were
laid on the table.
