MR. NICHOLSON moved that Republicans
present who were not delegates, be invited to
participate in the deliberations of the Con-
vention, with all the privileges of delegates
except the right of voting.
Messrs Chapman of Cavendish. and Bar
low of St. Adams, opposed the motion, re-
marking that it was of course understood
that Republicans present. not delegates, were
welcome as spectators but that il con
trary to all the usages of delegate conventions
t. permit any but delegates to take part in
the business of the Convention. Mr. Barlow
mentioned the case of a gentleman who pre-
scented himself before the committee on ere
dentals, as the only Republican present from
his town, with request that he be placed
on the roll delegate, though without
credentials. Mr. Barlow stated that the
committee rejected the request. being unani-
mously of the opinion that, as it was the
main object OF delegate convention 10 Sc
cure fair representation of the masses, no
one should be admitted to the Convention eX-
cept on evidence that he was chosen to repre-
sent them by the Republicans of his town.

Some discussion arose on the question of
taking a recess for dinner, one or two gentle
vention, in order to complete it's business in
time for the train leaving half past two.
Mr.. HENRY, of Chester. thought such a
suggestion looked too much like bows play.
The delegates had been sent here IL do GER
tain business and should take all the time
necessary TO do it properly. No committee
on resolutions had been appointed, and the
proper way was. after appointment of all the
committees needed, to adjourn to a proper
hour in the afternoon and complete the work
of the Convention.

cho, it voted that committee of six be
