cause 10 the first section was taken up:
mo person shall vote or hold any office who
was n candidate for the Convention that as
sembIed in Richmond on the 18th day OF r eD-
ruary 1861, and pledged TO the measure OF Sc
cession. or who, previous TO the 18th OF hnTli,
1861 advocated that measure by speaking OF
writing, or who was engaged IN irregular OF
guerilla warfare against the Onlteh STATES, OF
who treated prisoners otherwise than agreea-
hly to the rules of civilized nations in like
coses or who was engaged in the enrolling or
onscripting service in aid of the rebellion, or
who induced men to join the forces opposed 10
the United States by threats or intimidation,
or who has threatened forcible resistance 10
| the reconstruction or impeachment measures
| of Congress-
| HrSE offered as n substitute n proposition
nearly similar to another indefinitely posi-,
poned yesterday, which he asserted "on!n
| add from fifteen TO twenty thousand 10 Ihe
mum Der already DISTINGUISHED.
! Mr. ALLAN argued In opposition to this, on
| the ground that there was no principle IN
VOWED. but that IL was purely n measure OF
| party policy-in the words OF the member from
| Fairfax-to caicl ten or fifteen thousand more
| persons His time expired before he had com
| pIeted his remarks more time was allotted
| him. but before he could resume, the ConVen
| ton took recess.
| AFTERNOON SESSION.
| The Convention met at o'clock.
| The subject of the morning was resumed
| Mr. ALLAN on the floor. He resumed ana con
| tinued his argument in opposition TO the DIS
| franchising propositions IN sensible ana I'M
| partial manner. .
| Mr.. MADDOX spoke also in opposition 10 dis
| franchisement. He had received Il letter from
| William w. Kelly, in which he advised him
| as n member of the Convention, TO confne
himself to the constitutional amendments
and not TO go beyond them in the matter Of
| Acknowledgement.
| BLAND also spoke in opposition to tbs
| clauses under consideration. lie said ne nae
| received letters from Sumner, Stevens, vii
| son. Boutwell,. and others of that ilk, who nd
| yised with the exception of Sumner) him
! against further Acknowledgement.
| HrSSICrTT couldn't see il that Sumner. Ste
| vens 4 Co. had anything 10 say about the dis
| reimbursement question. If the Convention
did not take care of itself they would laugh II
| their sleeves at them when the result came
He claimed 10 he 4 gen tleman, and no Yankee
nor carpet-bag man. de spoke win all 'ht
| bitterness of his devilish nature.
| KELso and BAYSE were d-hot for dlsfran
| Oh sing all rebels.
| Mr. F. GIBSON rasped the carpet bag men
| and handled the Radical side generally with
| out gloves.
| Mr.. CAMPBELL delivered an eloquent proiesi
| against the measures before the house, NJ Tho
| same time declaring a personal indifference &c
| them, and defying the Radicals in their mad
| ness and folly.
| Mr.. FREECH argued ably against the consul
| tutionality Of the measures.
| Pending the further discussion OF the sub
| ipct the Convention adjourned.
