Messrs Okey johnson, Wilson, Byrnsidc,
Wheat, Gushing, Davenport, Armstrong,
Pannell, Pendleton, Gallaher, Randolph
and others. During the discussion con.
siderable feeling was manifested. The
resolution was finally defeated by o vote
of forty.five to- thirtY.one. This vexed
question may now be considered to be
permanently settled, and the Convention
will remain where II Is.
Mr.. Okey Johnson to-day introduced u
resolution in the Convention, which was
referred, providing that no religious, ,politi

never hereafter be required as qualitica-
