MIR. RIDDLEBAEGEK's RESOLUTION.
Mr., Riddlcnarger, of Shenandoah, offer
! ed another resolution in regard to The ap-
-; pointncnt of the consulting members OF
! the State Executive Committee, in which
! it is provided that they be appointed on
( the Recommendation of the delegates from
j the several Congressional districts.
I The mover asked that the rules be sus-
:: Dcnded for the consideration Of the resolu-
= ton without referring it 10 committee.
! MIR. Baldwin, of Augusta, raised the point
of order that this whole subject had been
, already disposed of. The point or order
! was sustained by the chair and the house.
( Various motions were here nude, one OF
which was that Col. ". W. Walker, OF
Weslmoreland. he requested to address The
Convention. Loud calls being nude ior
that gentleman, he took the platform, and
said t:.at in view OF the fact that there was
; business before the Convention, and that
r.; arrangements had been made for public
speaking at night, he thought it in
expedient to occupy time with a
spcech lust now. He thought, however,
that this matter of the appointment OF
. consulting members Of the committee
! ought to be left where it was already-in
+: .hc hands Of the President of the Conven-
ton. Certainly it could not be in better
hands. [applause.l
I Judge Thomas, OF Fairfax, suggested
that, for the sake of peace, the vote upon
the report Of the commit &C be recon
sidered, and that Mr.. Riddelbarger's reso.
luton be adopted.
MIR. Stewart, of Page county, advocated
reconsideration and the adoption Of the
Riddelbarger resolution.
Col. Nj. ID. Ball, Of Alexandria county,
thought the sentiment of the younger mem
I hers of the Convention was decidedly in
favor of the principle enumerated in the
resolution. He was opposed to anything
3 like the suppression of those who had SUB
sjects to bring before the Convention, and
i referred to the fact that cOlored member
from Richmond had been for some time
vainlv struggling to get the floor.
The President here stated that person.
ally he would be glad to have an expression
of opinion by the Convention on the sub
luton Of the colored member. it should be
entertained just as soon as practicable, I'M
: der the rules.
:, After an snimated debate, participated
in by Col. Ball, DR.. Motfatt Of Rocking
