and the gentleman AGAINST whom these char

explain them. These interruptions do in-
justice to oureclvos. to the speaker. and to
the distinguished gentlemen against whom
thcy are ma,iu, Let the gentleman from

Mr.. Carragan, of Penn, raised a point OF |
order that the gentleman having said that !
hc would not vote for Mcclellan if nomima- |
ted lie had no right TO take part in the pro !
ccedincs Of the Convention.
The President decided that the point ct

applause Mr.. Harris retired from the stand.
Mr.. Carragan said that for many years the
relations between that gentleman and HIM

! Gen. Morgan Of Ohio as "A fellow soldier
of ctlcllan, could not remain silent when
the name and fame of that distinguished Gen
cr;tl was 50 Shamciully impugncd The char
gcs were untrue. The Maryland Legislature
was in session at Annapolis General Joe

members Of the Legislature were the conspi-
rators. They intended that the State should

I'nion What did General Mcclellan do ?
He simply took the best precautions in lis
! power to thwart the reasonable scheme, and
had he not so done he would have been gull
tv of the yiest treason. The man who says

know him. \ thorough soldier, with the

Of Mr.. Jones said tiIat so far from being ere

cs- dom of speech, the freedom Of c'ections, al
arbitrary arrests, and in your resolutio
vi you have atraigncd him before the people
!, the country for these tyiannIes and CORFU
,I,a lo tons. and yet you propose to nominate
W. man for the support OF the Democracy vi
II. has gone even further than Lincoln h
IIe gone in the perpetiation OF similar tyranl
'hnoo cal measures upon the sacred privileges al
ne rights cf the people. Mcclellan Is guilty
nv the arrest Of tie Legislature Of soverc

hnu beas corpus and helped TO enfore the odio

no fitting instrument of a corrupt and tyraniC
