tho President OF the United States, IN such

Crank, OF Harris, introduced as follows
Rssoired That the thorough olganiza
ton of tho Democratic party Of the State

! Which resolution was adopted, and tho
Chair appointed the following committee:
J. W. Harris, W. II. Crank, Phil. Claiborne,
II. +. Young, W. H. Goodrich, G.. Robinson,
d. U. Barzizer, II. b. Waller, +. A. Hill,

Cleveland, Gen. Phillips J. D. Giddings and

Phil. made "long winder," and was cheer
ed often and kept tie audience in good
humor.
Capt Mum, of Houston county, was
next called upon, when he defended at
length partial negro suffrage. He dis
claimed everything like Radicalism-he
argued it at length. Capt. Num- is an
honest man--one who fought nobly for the
lost cause, and while he thinks as he does,
does not try to foist his personal views up
on the Convention or any one, he desires
them to think the matter over.
Throughout his entire speech he was lis.
tened to with n great deal of attention, al
though his views accorded with no ono in
