city, VINO stated that he had suffered a loss OF

severe misfortune seemed to have wrought upon the
mind OF our friend to such an extent that he at ast

turn OF mind, he was willing to compromise the
matter, and therefore, IN his nmunication to the

FrOCeed1nge. Oh the Convention
We find it impossible to make room to-
day for the proceedings in full of the Con-
vention on Saturday and Monday last.-
Hereafter the proceedings will appear in
full as heretofore.
On Saturday, Hon. E. G. Reade rendered
his resignation as President, which. after
many complimentary speeches by delegates,
the Convention declined to accept.
The question of the appointment of mag
istrates was settled ona test vote, by giving
their election to the people. The number
was also limited.
On Monday, the basis of representation
was considered We learn that Messrs. BY
nun and Logan delivered exceedingly able
speeches, favoring the white basis The
matter was postponed, in order to have the
ordinance printed.
Mr. Grissom introduced the following res
olution, which was passed with but one dis
senting voice:
Resolced, as the unanimous sense of this
Convention, as mark of respect to the MEM
ory of Gen. Winfield Scott, who rendered
himself illustrious by long course of public
service, and by his devotion, manifested on
so many occasions, to the government of the
United States, that this Convention do now
adjourn until the usual hour of meeting on
