The convention reassembled pursu-
ant TO adjournment, at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon.
The President The Chairman of
the Committee on Resolutions is now
prepared to report. (Applause.)
Mr.. James Guthrie, of Kentucky !:
The Committee on Resolutions, after
tho greatest amount OF consideration
they have been able to give, in the
time they have had to consider the
subject, have directed me to report six
resolutions, as expressive of the posi-
ton Of the democracy, and their opin-
ions in these perilous times, as to what
is necessary to be done. The Secreta-
ry of the committee will read the res
olutions.
The resolutions, which we publish
ed last week were then read and adopt
cd by an almost unanimous VOTE
Pending the motion TO adopt, Mr..
LoNG, of Ohio offered as an amend
ment to the resolutions, to come in af-
ter the first resolution, the first Ken
lucky resolution--vdrafted by the pen
of Thomas Jefferson which under
the rule was referred to the Committee
on resolutions.
The next business in order being tho
nomination of candidate for President
of the United States, Mr.. John Z.
Stockton, of New Jersey, nominated
George b. Mcclellan, Mr.. Cox, of
Ohio supported the nomination.
Mr.. Soulsburry, of Delaware, nom
mated Lawrence w. Powell, of Ken
tuchy. Mr.. Powell declined. Mr..
Stewart, of Ohio, presented the name
of Hon. Thomas III. Seymour of Con-
necticut. Mr. Wickliffe, of Kentucky
presented the name of Franklin Pierce
of New Hampshire.
We give the remainder of the Sec
ond days proceedings in full:
Mr.. Harris, of Maryland 1 rise to
second the nomination of Thomas III.
Seymour, Of Connecticut and in do
ing so, i beg TO say one word to the
convention in favor of him. Thomas
III. Seymour is second to no man in
the country. His record is before the
country and no man dare say there is
a stain upon it. We have come here
from the down-trodden State of Mary
land, and we do not desire to see
placed in nomination tho man most
active in expressing her. We have
been oppressed as you know. AL our
rights have been trampled upon and
the strong arm of the military has
been over US as it rests upon us now,
as it was instituted by your nominee.
| Confusion of applause and Kisses,
mainly from the galleries) Amid the
fact that all our liberties and rights
have been destroyed, and 1 ask you in
the name of common sense, in the
name Of justice, in the name Of honor
will you reward tho man who strucl,
the first blow? (Applaus and Kisses,
From the indications / seehere to-day
/ have reason to believe that the man
who has been in front of our usurpa-
ton win bo tho successful candidate
Mr.. Lamberton, of Pennsylvania
/ rise to a point of order. There j:
no question before the convention.

of order (Confusion.)
Tho President: Will the gentleman
