Mr. GLASS On my responsibility offer the following
luton a substitute for that just offered by Mr. Hoge:


eso Of the principle settled the D decon
he vrea deem nexpcden do more than
Cincinnati platform with the which the said Dred Scott


perfectly willing 60 the full extent Of prudence In my
opinion, the resolution which offer such should commend
itself to any who desires to avoid dcor opposed to
advancing step further in this consultation with these Southern
States until know explicitly what is they want hands


From the first considered the consultation QUO Of doubtful pro,
pety sncuaton appear wanting IN courtesy alone induced
yield assent to the movement We here assembled in
national convention Is proper then that few States shall be
ern apart though their interests and aims we're opposed to those
of their States composing majority of the Union We must
have platform broad enough hold all interests must do this
break up the party and the disruption of the party involves the
disruption of the non submission to the election of Seward
the Presidency TO the States this alternative comparatively
easy They 60 of the Union We of the border States
not With u.s. the Wing purity will unanimously oppose secession
and enough Democrats will unite with them give them the
ioritY and keep us in the Union.


Mr. D. H. HoGE. think Mr. Glass will perceive that
aiming the thing Let him but add his resolution
clause declaring the pupo and interpretation of the bred Scott
dccon and his resolution will be substantially identical with mine.
We aware however that constructions have already been
applied the Drcd Scott decision As it stands the substitute
posed leaves this question construction undecided
before country with double interpretation will be well
leave tho Cincinnati platform douby construed, apply double
construction the bred Scott decision AS going out OF the
uo for cnc don't intend to intend to stay in, aud
fight for the Union and for my rights in the Unon necessary 1t
by follows that fail get the platform We want we
must 90 of the Union.


Mr. Barbour absent during the earlier part of this dis
CUSTOM aud obliged speak without reference remarks
cclnp my own This delegation is delicate position It
with Us to preserve the National Democracy The preservation of
the Democratic purity any platform, depends to great extent
the action of Virginia Great dcbcaon necessary have no


faith those gentlemen who have here with their plans pre-
pared naurcd do not believe say their hurrying into
action 1t is necessary that should be ready by
ocork that should be right move that committee Of FIVE
r appointed ly the Chair report resolution which, hope,
We will all be able to agree


Mr. CnocKErr 1t that the appointment of such
premature this time Will it not be better to wait
until committeeman the Committee Of Resolutions of the
National Convention shall report to us


Mr. BARBOUR The committee which propose will report
only u this delegation.


Mr. CRocKETT To that have no objection would also
promptly the other Southern States in conference only wish
avoid all precptatc aconcven precipitatc dcbeaton


Mr. HARyIE. Consultation with the Southern delegations is abso
u necessary now and if into this consultation ought to
60 prepared tu define position


Mr. CROCKETT That wish But do not see the necessity of
strictly formal action the of the delegation at present All
that necessary elicit the views and opinions of delegates
Mr. DAVIS necessity for the appointment OF this coin
mittcc Our delegation large require the preparation
of its deliberations by committees subcommittee Let pro-
cccd directly and and if committee be insisted let it be
a committee Of the whole


Mr. CROCKETT suggest that it will expedite business lay the
motion the table.


Mr.. BARBOUR No one is more desrous than the
question before With due submission still believe that
the appointment of the proposed committee will expedite the matter
Mr. BRowN Our first business understand each other
believe there exists among this delegation serious difference OF
opinion but ought to know in what such difference
consists.


The question being put Mr. Barbous resolution then adopted
by rira


pursuance resolution the Chair appointed Me Barbour
j. +. Hogc D. Fl. IIoge Glass and Yos on the committee


Mr. j. oGE the reconsideration of the vote just
taken Our position delicate not only with regard the
Southern States but other States also necessary for to meet
the Southern delegation This committee Will only produce
delay If should adopt any resolution the platform,
would be placed dilemma We would 70 into conference with
the Southern States with uhat"m in hands Failing to
