The Chairman then announced a tele-
graphic dispatch from President JOHNSON,
and directed the Secretary to read it.
The announcement was the signal for the
whole Convention and the greater part of
the spectators to rise to their feet and cheer
vehemently for ANDREW JOHNSON. After
the applause had subsidized, the dispatch
was read.
Mr.. CAROL, of New York, offered the
following resolution, which was referred
under the rule to the Committee on Resolu-
tons without debate:
ResOlUed, that there Is justly demanded a
revision of our national neutrality law in
consonancelwith the spirit Of the age, the de-
mands Of commerce and the spirit Of the
nation and that it is the duty of Congress
to comply with the public demand for such
a revision. Mr.. HAYES, Of Illinois, offered
a resolution directing the Committee on
Resolutions to report in print and to supply

of the resolutions at the time Of their pre-
sensation. He proceeded to discuss the
resolution.
The Chair sustained the point Of order
and declared that the resolution was so re-
ferred.
Mr.. HAYES, notwithstanding, continued
to address the Convention. He did not ex-
pect the Convention to adopt any resolution
or platform endorsing his opinions or the
opinions of the Democratic party, to which
he belonged.
Mr.. PERRY asked that nothing would be
put in the platform to which a constitution
and union-loving Democrat could not sub
scribe He knew the sentiments of the
Democratic party and he believed that if
there was party it was it.
The Convention manifested noncompliance
by cries Ofquestion, question, and under an
other point Of order, the chairman decided |
that there was nothing before the Conven-
lion for its action, nevertheless, Mr.. HAYS |
said he did know of platforms having been
adopted in moments Of enthusiasm, which
we're afterwards subjected to severe criticism.
All henOw desired was that the resolutions |
md addresses which might be reported by |

POSED a recess for one hour or two, but the
met with no favor and was not
