The Minutes Of the. last meeting were read.
- Hon. ). B. Campbell, of Charleston, moved
that the preamble and resolutions referrinfs to
the appointment of "a Committee Of Conference
adopted last evening. be slightly amended so
as to read, .Whereas it is understood to be the
mutual desire that tha Executive Committee,
appointed by the. Convention which assembled
in this State in April last, should hold con-
terence, ,n&c.
The motion was agreed to, and the preamble
Rss reconsidered and amended accordingly.
Mr:. Campbell, from the Committee Of Con-
! ference, submitted the following report ::s2s"
The COMMITTEES Of Conference with the Gen.
: tralsExecutiye Committee OF the Convention OF
April last, beg leave to report:
That in the discharge OF their duty, they met
that committee In free conference, and after an
unreseryed interchange of views, in which it
became manifest that each committee was
unanimous In an earnest desire to harmonize
and unite in common purpose, that commit
tee submitted the following proposition, VIZ:
ifThe Central Executive Committee having
been invited to agconference a by the Com
Yention now assembled here, and being
most solcitous to s-secWe harmony IN
the State, beg leave to submit to
the Conference Committee now IN ses7
sion the following basis OF union, namely:
That the Convention proceed to the nomina-
Convention at New York, to fill up the delega-
tion Of the State. And the Executive Commit
tee pledge themselves to use al their efforts to
have these nominations confirmed by all the
organizations represented by the said commit
Tee. The Executive Committee further recon-
mend that an Executive Committee be appoint
ed by this Convention, to act with that selected
by the Convention in April last; and that, in
the opinion Of this Committee Of Conference,
it is advisable that the two Executive Commit
tees should be consolidated at the earliest
moment possible."
Your committee think that no stronger evi-
dence could have been offered OF spirit ofcon-
presents. It offers 10 this Convention one-half
The appointments to the New York Conven-
tiop.-the other one-haf OF them only having
been made>b the Convention Of April Last.
This committee thinks it unbecoming in this
Convention to revise he appointment for one
of the Congressional Districts OF this State,
namely, the Fourth, that district not being
represented in this Convention. We, therefore,
recommend that the appointments from that
district be declined, and, with this exception, the
proposition be accepted. Delegates at large haV-
ing been already appointed OF residents OF the
First and Fourth Districts, we recommend that,
in appointing the remaining two delegates ana
alternates, residents Of the Second and Third
Districts, respectively, be selected, and that
THE Convention appoint one delegate and two
alternates from the Second District, and one
delegate and one alternate from the Firsv ind
Third Districts respectively.
We also recommend the appointment OF an
Executive Committee, to consist of seven, and
that, as suggested, the two committees shall
be consolidated at the earliest moment possi-
BILE: also, that The Executive Committee ap-
pointed by us be author zed to all any vacan-
cies in the appointments made by ca.
